Opening Madeira drive, Dusseldorf

Last saturday the new Madeira drive in Dusseldorf was openend.

A very nice shop on a killer location; an old gas-station!

The workshop

Mr. FK (incognito as always) got us the last bottles of beer!

Hail, hail!!

Good times.

Now the toilet was a bit strange. When you stood here, doing your thing, you looked straight trough a window into the workshop. And the workshop was crowded cause the band was playing here. But how happy Sander was with the window when the door jammed and he found himself locked up in the smallest room of the Madeira drive!
We dragged him out!!

Touring the Lowlands with Lutz and Rico Fodrey, part2

With just a few hours left on the wednesday we had not to much time left. I desided to go to the "Batavia ship building yard" where they rebuild Dutch 17th century ships. And they do it the old, traditional way. We all loved the craftmanship, the traditional tools end the smell of wood and ropes.

Most populair was, no surprise, the Blacksmit!

All steel parts of the ships are made here,the old way!
Kids who are hardly 20 beat the shit out of the red hot metal! Respect!

Rico loved the one and only "modern" piece of equipment, a pre WW II Airhammer.

The finished ship;" the Batavia"

The soldiers deck. For 9 months they were not allowed to go out because

of the risk on fighting with the sailors. Can you imagine this?? 9 Months!!

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!

Garage Maniacs, complete film, part one and two

Well folks, this is on of the things I've been workin' on lately. Had to split it in two to get it Youtubed. Take your time 'cause it's 17 minutes all together. Hope ya'll like it.

( this is what we do in our spare time!!)

Grease and Ink

About two weeks ago me and Masto went to buddy Rinus for some brews. Why did I take a bottle of Jack? Why did Masto took his tattoo-gear? Big times I'd say!

There's enough cool stuff in Rinus's "Grease and Ink" garage!

Rinus's Mercury at night.

Eastcoast- Westcoast

The island of Terschelling, where I was last week, has got his own Harley-Davidson club. Which is rather funny 'cause the island has only got one main-road that's just 15 mile's long and has got a speed limit of 40 mph!!

Some of theire bikes are parked in West-Terschelling in a tiny shed.

At the eastend of the main road, before you drop in the sea, we find the last Beach Cantina. It's called "Heartbreak Hotel" and yes, they'll only play Elvis songs here.

Hot coffee, cold drink's and juicy hamburgers are served here!!
