David Duerinckx from Hoegaarden, spent part of his life trying to break through with a product he created. He likes bikes and riding them was one of the pleasures of his life, but riding alone was not the thing he liked most. Every time he took a girlfriend with him, they didn’t feel the same experience of pleasure and feeling of safety as he did. So he started thinking and created Tankgrip.
He worked on a prototype during 4 months, without knowing if it would be an advantage for the duo-rider or not. This all started 10 years ago, the beginning of a long way, with a lot of obstacles. The biggest problem in the beginning was the appearance, they looked like phone horns on a gas tank. Finally he realized this and now they look streamlined with the motorcycle.
