Child labor
Friends Erik and Theo wanted to make a new exhaust on Eriks chop, but started drinking at noon. After a while these lazy bastards decided to let their sons do the works. Looks better this way...
Work to do
On the ride to Portugal this summer the original gasket (of course!) of my wife's chop stopped doing what a gasket normaly do... Can you imagine how her chop looks like when we came home }-) So saturday i changed the old one for a new. I took out the rearwheel, the sissy and the fender. After that the swingarm and the batterybox. From that point i could loosen the engine from the frame, move it and take of the valve cover to change te gasket. I love choppers..... C.F.L.
Bob or not, that's the question...
I bought myself an original liberator from '42. I want to 'bob it' a little..., but if i find pics like this. Very sweet indeed...
Ferry
Bakker (middle) and Willem (right) on the ferry. Willem is the man who always wants to go with the ferry. If there is any reason to go with a boat Willem has it. "There is no trip without a boattrip...!!" So if we make a trip through Europe that's what we do.
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.
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!
