American Motorcycle Museum

Together with buddy Lutz I paid a visit to the AMM, the American Motorcycle Museum in Raalte, Holland.
Lots of models from years gone by, and some new too.
Really liked the old racing models!

Limpe Iven

Limpe is a remarkable photographer. There's always an intense atmosphere in his pics.
About two weeks ago we al met at the "Amstel station" in Amsterdam to go to Peers wedding. Martin and I just arrived when it started to pour with rain. Limpe made these great pics.


Check out Limpe Iven

Buddy Knukkel had nothing to do I think? So he made me this..... F*kin' awesome!!

Kick-Ass

So late 80's till mid 90's I was a sucker for superheroes! I've got thousends of comics and I think I've got all running series from Batman from 1987 until about 1996. ( DC, Batman, Shadow of the Bat, Adventures of Batman, Gotham city adventures, hell I don't know what more, but much more!).Next to this there was Action Figures! From Batman, Videogame heroes, Films,
TV series. Oh man, still got a lot of them in my soulful garage. Now, every sunday me and some buddys gather at Masto's home cinema for some film and yesterday we had "Kick ass", a superhero film. Man, I was thrilled, this is the best superhero film I've seen in a loooong time!The action is so absurd rough it's almost as if Tarantino had a good day. Eleven year old girl who kicks some drugdealers ass? Hell yeah!!

low budget/ no budget

While making some minor changes on the bike I thought it was fun to give my axed tank a little make over. With some leftover rattlecans, masking tape and almost no time I made this..
Wat do you need;
1- gastank
2-paint
3-masking tape

I wanted to start with a gold base, but unfortunately the can was almost empty already.
The pic doesn't show how bad it looks. But it's just a base for the striping tape so.... never mind. It's meant as a joke anyway!

With the base on it you can go berserk with the masking tape.
No clue what I was doing!

I also mask the inside from the banners.


Then I use the red I once used for a rear wheel. After removing the white tape this is the result.
Mmmmm, not so bad. The blue tape is stil on, masking the gold.


Then I mask the red.
Now things are going to fast.
I spray the banners blue and do some shadow with the airbrush.
Clearcoat on it and before I have time to make a picture I've got to go to a party.
No time to dry the paint or do a test ride with my "new" KH fork.
But the result isn't that bad at all.
More later!!
