“From spring to late fall, the way to get to high school was a Gilera – basically a scooter, with a motorcycle look. At 18 I got on a Honda CBR 600F and the rest is history”, says the liberal.
What did the motorcycle bring to his life? “A simply unique feeling of freedom”, dear friends and a way of driving “permanently connected to the road”.
Burduja says in the magazine dedicated to motorcycle enthusiasts that he works at an “infernal” pace and that he tries not to neglect his family by working so hard.
His passion for motorcycles made him realize that we need massive investments in infrastructure, with good roads and safety elements, he claims.
“With the support of the community I would be more than happy to do that,” he promises. Burduja also says that he really wants to change the mentality of some drivers towards motorcyclists. At the same time, he warns that he has legislative initiatives to punish those who rev their engines too high and exceed European noise standards.
His dream? To take a cross-country road trip in the States on a Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic.
