Mario's Dodge sportsman

Mario used to be my kickboxing and fitness trainer but when I stopped training we also stopped seeing each other on a regular base. Then he bought a Shovel and together we made it into a cool machine and drove it around the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and wathever for about two years before he sold it. And again we lost contact for about two years.

Than, last week, he called me for a cup of coffee at the gym where he showed me his new toy. A 1976 Dodge Sportsman SE Maxiwagon .
Man, the thing is huge!!! I tried to convince him that the only way to drive a car like this is with 12 guys going to the south of Europe, a shitload of beer and a case of goodmusic, but somehow he did not agree!?



He also bought himself a Roadking!!??..... but i'll forgive him.

Burt Munro

Yeah I know; old news. But I really loved this movie! Some of this pics, from the real Burt Munro, are verry recognizable when you've seen the film....



The real Burt holds a bag of money collected for him in Bonneville. The actual bag was used for the film!



Recognize the words on his shirt?

My '72 super-glide

This is me some years ago changing my shovel super-glide very low-budget. A couple of rattlecans, a donated sportster rear fender and a ape-hanger. Oh, and that le pera metalflake seat.
At the first ride to the first chopper-meeting of the year the fenderstrut broke. So I arrived without fender. Well, it's part of the game!




I used the engine and the rearwheel for my current chopper.

Luchadors, cool as f*ck????..

Yes, I do like Lucha Libre!! I have to admit that it's hard to see the matches here in Holland and that I like the classic fighters more, but still I do think that the masked Luchadors are cool as f*ck! Until now....
I've seen this book a few time's on the shelf, but was never able to look into it. It doesn't come cheap so I never bought it.
Well,I have seen it now, and it chanced my looks at the subject!
The book is called "Lucha Loco" by Malcolm Venville. Man, what's wrong with these guys?
