EXPERIENCE WITH MOTORCYCLES

Growing up Afshin enjoyed riding his bicycle around learning how to do tricks and having fun. At the age of 10 he saw one of his brothers freinds riding a motorcycle. From this point on he was set on buying a motorcycle and seeing if he could do similar tricks on a motorized bike. He purchased his first motorcycle at the age of 12 and never looked back. When he moved to Canada in 1996 he had $230 in his pocket. He got a job as a newspaper boy and picked up a second job working at a mexican resturant, building good credit and saving up some money to buy a bike. He bought his first bike in Canada from a freind and to this day is poassionate about motorcycles.

BIOGRAHPHY

Afshin was born in 1972 in southern Iran in a city called Abadan. His earliest childhood memories was the islamic revolution in 1979. When he was about 8 years old he remembers a plane flying about 40 feet above his head and a few seconds later there was a loud sound and the ground shook. This was the first bomb dropped by the Iraqi Airforce. At this point they got into a car and left everything they owned and went to a city about an hour away. When the Iraqi's advanced they had to move four more times before they had to leave the country in 1987. As a 15 year old he crossed the dessert walking into Pakistan and witnessed the poverty in Pakistan. From 1990-1992 he spent time in Bangladesh as a missionary while waiting to move to Canada. He is now the founding member of I AM Thirsty Ministries in Vancouver. Afshin is happily married and recently renewed his wedding vows for his 15th year anniversary and they have three beautiful children.
