Opening Kustom Korner

Yesterday we went to the opening of a new shop in Ede, the Netherlands; the Kustom Korner. Buddy Rinus came all the way from the south with his great Shovel Chopper in the back of his van. It was the plan to take the bikes to the party, but the weather was so bad, we had to hold our breath outside, or we would have drowned for sure! So we took the Sub-Mobile and picked up Jessey and Martin.

We went to pick up ZZ-chop's Tjebbe and tried to steal as many cool parts as possible from his Sick Shack. Without succes by the way!

The rain seemed to be over for a while, and with just a few miles to the party

Tjebbe pulled out one of his bikes and escorted us in style!

Now Kustom Korner is actually four firms together; "Short-Cut Choppers","Customs and Classics", "Ledsled Customs" and "Kustom Bart".

In the Short Cut Choppers workshop we saw these great choppers. The Honda is well known in the family, and overrules all choppers I know!

Very nice bikes in the showroom!

And a lot of cool parts! Thanks for the Beer and the Hot-Dogs guys!

And on the way home we something unknown....... the sun!

Old-skool, New-skool, No-skool.......

Tuesdaynight

After a six pack Corona, Doritos with dip, popcorn, a burned french bread,

a 8 pack Amstel beer and some shots of Mezcal there's just one place to be............ ....right under the table!

Good times with Jessey!

Ron's patch.

It must be more than 15 years ago since I got this patch from my father in law. He, on his turn, got this patch early seventies from his racing buddy Ron who came back from Daytona.

His buddy died years ago and I thought it was rather special this patch was given to me so I never had the guts to put on a jacket. Now I think it's the only way to give his dead buddy some wind in his face..... The amount of detail on this patch is sickening, really! And all the right parts are here.

This bike is 100% cool!

Yeah, fuck you too

New hairdo

This makes me feel like something between Poirot, Dali and a 30's bare knuckle fighter with an addiction for 17th century Dutch painters....... hehehehe

A Monday afternoon (part two)

Oh yeah, I took my camera and shot some film too!

Wow man, a heroes hero!! I want a Byford!! I want, I want!!!

A Monday afternoon

Had a very nice afternoon with Magic Martin. Just going for a ride, came to a national park I live close by, saw some wild horses , made some pics and had some laughs. At my place we had a couple of beers and I ended the day listening to the best of Henry Manchini...... wild!

And Martin lost control....again!?
