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!!

Draw!!

I'm telling you; it's a draw!!

Survived Christmas?

Let's ride!!

Hope y'all had a great time!

Dark moment

A couple of years ago I went to the Bottrop Kustom Kulture show in Germany. I left early and on the way I picked up ZZ chop's Tjebbenator. Together we passed the border and the weather was as good as can be. We enjoyed the ride and after a couple of hours we reached the party ground.
Just as we passed the entrance my engine went dead, just like that! At this time of day this was the most crowded place of the show. So here I was, kicking my lungs out, everybody was watching and the bike did absolutely nothing. I refused to take the bike and walk to my spot, so I did what I had to do and after a while, and a lot of sweat, the bike finally started to roar.
I hoped this insident would be forgotten in time, but I found out someone took pictures of this dark moment......

So, thanks Paul for making this a moment no one will ever forget.....

When they were Kings.

Pictures hardly come any better than this one!!

Irresistable!

So Case came by to tell me about a secret plan he had. I offered him a cup of coffee, but he then told me he didn't drink any coffee. What's kind of weird I think. He told me his secret and then Jessey came by. Jessey took two croisants, but there where three of us, so Jessey decided to eat both by himself. At that time Case didn't want to continue telling me about his crazy plans and Jessey asked me for a plate for his two croisants. I gave him a Teletubbie plate from my youngest son and a cup of coffee, because Jessey does drink coffee. But than, and now it's getting good, Jessey threw a small golden racing car on the table. It looked rather old but was still on the original card. And guess what? Jessey took it for me! Why? Because no one, and I really mean no one, can resist a vintage golden race car!!

Can't find much on the net, but it's from 1968 folks!

Thanks dude, love ya!

Flakekings burnout bash!!

Now, there are a few simple rules in life. Like when you are being invited for a party with the Flakekings. You don't hesitate, you'll party!!

Like they say: Show up or shut up!!
To many cool projects to ignore!
And with so many creative people in one room
you can expect a few home made gifts for the guys!

Like this metalflake "Flakekings" bat by el Cheapo!


Or this wicked "Flakekings" oil can!

Giant "Flakeking" stickers by Guzzmen!

And well, I painted this "Flakekings" billboard for the Gods of Sparkle!

'Cause you can't come empty handed!

No chance to get cold!

Gus knows!

And, well......... no, you don't wanna know!

Thanks Amigos for your hospitality!

Good times, good peoples!

Virgin Killer at no Saint's garage!

Oh yeah, Lutz (no Saint) got himself Dan Collins's Virgin Killer! It arrived last thuesday and Lutz is as happy as can be! Last saturday I checked it out and it's a mean motherfu... uh, Virgin Killer! Lutz's in his soulful chopper shack.

Hiding behind his coffee.

Bullitt's '68 Ford Mustang Fastback

I just couldn't resist this one! A 1:25 model of Frank Bullitt's Ford Mustang. Already had the smaller model by Corgi, both with a groovy Steve mcQueen figure.
The man and the car in action!

The Blob...

Oh hell, I'll do two Steve mcQueen posts!
Next to a cool actor and racing driver, mcQueen was a bike and Car collector. He called this 1947 Indian Chopper "the Blob", after one of his films. He loved to get out of it all on this bike and he always took his sleeping bag.

It's in the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa now.

Recognize this?

Yes I know, this one is all over the net and on all blogs.

But I had to post it, I'ts so damn recognizable!

So here we go again! Kick till you drop!

Virgin killerrrrrrr....

Now what's with Dan Collin's Virgin Killer? Hope to let ya know real soon!

On the wall....

...invitation to...

Thought I should let you know!

Kind of quiet here lately. I know. Sorry about that. It's all a mather of priorities.

Say, aint that Buzz Lightyear and Woody?? To cool!! By Panzervargas.

Erik's

Some weeks ago we had a great night at Erik's. Jesseys Triumph broke down, Martin and I got wet, there was a small swap meet and we joined the best crowd in the world!

Break free brothers!

Lake ride

Nice ride with Martin last week. With a touch of autumn in the air, but not actually cold,

we realized summer's gonna be over really soon now.

Couldn't resist to take the camera and shoot some pics and film.

I had not to much footage but still made about a minute of film of it.

Just an Impression of the ride.

Oh, and why not make something cool of a picture from me and Martin!

The gastank right on top is the tank Martin was running this day.

But as some of you might have noticed, Martin's bike looks quite different every time!
