Sad but true....

ZZ Chopper Tjebbe send me an e-mail with this pics of my old XS650. In a previous posting i posted a pic of my first chop. Tjebbe recognized the bike and the rest is history.


Wow

Dig this.

Pan

Now this is a sidecar.


Finland

Eleven years ago we drove to the superrally in Finland. One of the most beautifull trips i've made. Together with Willem, Jos and Bakker. Lost a camera, a wedding ring and a carburator, had more road maintenance, a couple of times running out of gas, crashed a bike into a ships fire-extinguisher, lots of kilometers, four times on the ferry drinking and partying. One of the best superrally's. Good times.




Polish

Theo's homemade bar is white(!), he did some little things and he bought a new saddle. Not covered with some beautifull soft leather but just aluminum. Unpolished. "My ass will polish it on the way to Greece" he said.... Now thats the spirit!

XS 650

Found this pic in my garage. My first bike, long time ago... Somewhere in the early ninetees. I did'nt knew it was a f*cking highneck! What did i knew anyway...?

Sunny day

Sometimes you cannot wait to see her in the sunshine. Ready by far but oh yeah.

New bar

Theo made himself a new bar, mind the coole risers.

Work in progress VII

Preparing for fender and sissybar.



Burn it

A couple of weeks ago in Holland. Don't need your tires in the wintertime anyway.


Pushrods

Mind the pushrods... A rigid chop in France.


Fireplace in the clubhouse

Our clubjoiner Herrie did it again, he made this assholeproof benches. Some members finished also this very clubbable fireplace.



Narrow

Today i chopped an ape and put it temporarily on Lieks chop. A different fork and another rearwheel and the magic word for today is 'narrow'.


Table

Herrie made us a magnificent table with our clublogo.

Youngsters

These youngsters in the red shirts "played the roof of" of our clubhouse with their rock 'n roll. Thanks guys.

She's back again

This 16" sixspoke invaderwheel was hanging in the clubhouse for a couple of hundred years. She was always there for a beer, a party or a good conversation. But these days are over now. She will be chromed again, dressed with a beautifull old style piece of rubber and put in a nice frisco-chop. Doing the things she was made for, riding the long roads. 


Cover

Theo did some homework again and made this cool cover for his sporty. Check out his blog td chopperparts also.



Freezin' cold

Sometimes when it's minus 12 outside, you just miss your roadtrips.
