All of a sudden, nothing works anymore! Every year, around 25,000 people in Austria suffer a stroke. A Tyrolean (54) talks about dramatic minutes, the hard road back and his Harley-Davidson, which he won't give up - even if he will never be able to ride again.

Bruno Tramposch (54) is sitting in a café. Black T-shirt with Harley-Davidson lettering, friendly demeanor, serious topic. The Tyrolean can't move his left hand. At first glance, it is impossible to tell what other limitations he has. The 54-year-old speaks calmly about his fate. "There is a life before the stroke and one after," he makes clear in the interview.
