Col du Galibier

The ride to the col, part one. Hey Theo, keep up the good work. I start filming also with the cam on my bike. Crap. The helmet is the best spot, fasten without drilling...;-) Let's make them movies! We're waiting...

Erik and Lindy

Pic made by Lindy. Don't forget, this is what we see... ;-)

T.H.E. K.I.N.G.

I know there is a "king of bad taste" in Holland, but there's also one in France. I know that they're both singing in a band, but i don't know if the Dutch king is singing with a sock around his dick. (Idea Mike?) This guy does and for me it was the best gig i've ever seen on a party. Specially for you from France: KING POREAUX ET SON FABULEUX GANG DE CREVETTES!!

Ride

Cool pic sent by Jonathan DTMC. Last sunday on our way to "le peage". Thanks man.
Forgot to tell you i had the shower again on my way back home. Fuck. ;-)

BBQ

Last week we had a barbeque with some French and Dutch friends. Jonathan came by and decided to stay over a night on his way up from the south. I love these international meals, these evenings are always too short. And he gave me his shirt from his metalworkshop in Ca. Thanks man, see you.

Notice

Maybe you did'nt notice but we went to Valloire last weekend... Had great times with Rik, Lindy and Liek. Great rides, drinks, foods, terrasses, band(keep checking the blog) and laughs.  Here are some photo's taken with a normal cam instead of my iPhone. Miss it allready.

Punta Bagna

This weekend!! Check out the blog for the "realtime" pics.

Roadtrippin'

The man is riding the shit out of it. Suicide clutch, jockey shift, long front fork.

Early Harley-Davidson racers removed the clutch return spring to ensure the clutch stayed in the engaged position throughout the race. This practice soon caught on with other riders. The fanciful slang term "suicide clutch" was coined by those who could not operate the foot clutch proficiently enough to ride a tank shift (or hand shift) motorcycle in normal traffic.

On the road

Yesterday we had a ride throug the neighborhood, did some tourist things. Yesterdaynight we thought about a guestbook, to put in the barntrailer. Maybe it would be nice to write on the trailer. So Jonathan had the honour to be the first one. "I think it's the first guestbook with a bed in it" he said. He might be right. ;-)  This morning he left for Toulouse in the south.

Michel, Jonathan and me.

Un bon ensemble

Yesterday we had a very busy day. We picked up Jonathan from the highway where he was waiting for us. He almost lost his sprocket so we put the bike in Michels pick-up truck. On the road home it started to rain cats and dogs and Michels car broke also. So at the end i towed a Deathtraps chop in a Nissan with my Defender. And then we became shitfaced...

WAYCOOL

Pay attention Rik, Daan and Theo... ;-)

Punta Bagna

Last year at the Punta Bagna, sunny.... Countdown has begun. Rik and Lindy are ready to come over to make it an outragious weekend.

Support

I wanted to make an "invisible" support. Don't need the springs because it's a softtail and they break all the time anyway. So for a contractor as me it's a lot of thinking to make something like this... But it's working and you can not see it, almost... Now a little paint and of we go.

M3C

Today a meeting in Le Creusot. A small trip in very nice weather (the first one, in nice weather...), couple of beers, meet some new old friends. And they challenged me to arrange a unicyclegame (un bataille de unicycle) in Holland. To beat the cheeseheads, yeah right... "You must contact the Rogues" they say. "For a date somewhere in september" Let's give it a try...
