Old T-shirt and a Harley: Robertino is a happy man

Old T-shirt and a Harley: Robertino is a happy man

Amsterdam resident Robertino Lynch frequently visits a gas station on IJburglaan as part of his routine with his Harley motorcycle. Despite his wife's mixed feelings about his motorcycling and his penchant for wearing old, worn-out clothing, he remains dedicated to his hobby and personal style.

Robertino Lynch, an Amsterdam resident, has embraced a newfound passion for motorcycling later in his life, frequently visiting a gas station on IJburglaan before heading into the city. He currently rides a Harley, which he finds more practical for urban travel than a car. Beyond his modern bike, Lynch maintains a classic 1979 Honda GL1000 at home, though he notes that finding parts for the vintage model has become increasingly difficult. He is currently planning to customize his Harley.

Despite some concerns from his wife regarding both his motorcycling hobby and his tendency to wear old, hole-ridden t-shirts, Lynch remains committed to his lifestyle choices. He justifies wearing his well-worn clothes by comparing them to comfortable old shoes that have molded to his body over the years. His story was featured in the Pitstop series by Damsko, which highlights the daily routines of various Amsterdam residents as they stop at local gas stations.
