Personal motto:
If you don't ride in the rain, you don't ride
Florin will race you up the hill on a motorbike and at the top, no matter if it's you or him who got there first, he'll meet you with a smile.
He just likes the road and enjoys the ride. It's all about the road and ride; and another nice story to tell when you get back home in one piece.
