Gonna take the bikes for a spin later this morning,
Together with my buddies Rob & Keith from Eat Dust...
Destination...the Hotrod Hayride in England.
Looking forward to meet all the English and other friends...

You'd better make sure to book your train or ferry to the UK this weekend...
no righteousgearhead should miss the Hayride.
Will be great to meet all of our UK friends again...has been way too long...
hope to see you all this friday!!!

Ok, now is about as good as always to start bloggin' again...
plenty of stuff has been going on for the last month...as usual, summertime is roadtrippin' time...
Last Sunday we had our very first Flanders Chopper Run here in Belgium and it was a blast...
Despite the shitty weather predictions (wich turned out to be completey wrong) 23 cool bikes showed up to ride the 100km run.
Major big thanks to everyone who made this happen!!! Sure hope to see you all again next time.

Here's some of my personal highlights of the Jokers Show...

Sorry for another lack of posts...same old story...busy...will make up for it in a couple of weeks when I get back from the Jokers show and Bottrop Kustom Kulture.

Tomorrow we'll set up our booth at the GasketBlowers Greasefest in Belgium.
Come and check out the best of Belgium in Oldstyle choppers, bobbers, custom cars and hotrods.
Plenty of Kustom Artists @ work and some kickass bands playing cool tunes...
Weatherforecast is looking great so no excuse to leave your ride at home...unless it's sitting in a shop awaiting repair like mine :-(((

Spending long hours in the workshop...
luckily this is one of the views I'm enjoying daily...
Unfortunately both of my bikes are having  some electric and ingition problems,
in between painting I try to work on 'em a little to get both of them on the road asap.

Coming up next Sunday...Rogues MC Easter ChopperShow in Hoogwoud / Holland...

20th. Edition!!!

check out more on the Rogues blog

Very busy painting the last couple of weeks...traditionally this time of year is painting time, and it will be so for the next weeks...
here some of the stuff I did lately...and some in progress stuff while we're at it. More coming...

Lutz (ChopperTown Nation meeting) joined by Rob 'n Keith (Eat Dust) dropped by last week...just to have a chat about the upcoming event, Rob and Keith rode their bikes overhere on a perfect day for the road...good to have ya all overhere dudes...see ya soon

Mark the Dates!!! another Trip to Sweden is coming...Can't wait!

Well in fact, Guzzman is right, the custom paint design realy does the Van good...mind you, this is just a quickie workout of an idea that popped in my mind about a week ago...at fist made this one based on the blue color of the Dodge, but since a lot of bodypanels need to be replaced, the color will change to a red oxide welding primer...after most of the welding is done, I will start the fading and pinstriping, looking forward to this, but for now it's all about the search for part and panels...in need for 2 rear doors for the big Lady, Left and Right side with or without glas...also hinges and locks.
Lemmeknow what you think of it like this...
