Back from the South of France

Made some FLAKEKINGS promotion in the South of France, they will be busy as hell next week! Well, the only interesting vehicle/bike I saw was a new Iron H-D Sporty so I guess it was a waste of time. We had a good time and the Dodge Ram 1500 brought us home: 1047km in 10h30min, not bad at all.

Brake a leg #3

Brake a leg #3: Mercedes 230E, no real stopping power needed but its nice to stop for some red lights.

Brake a leg #2: Ready to go...

Brake a leg #2: The Dodge Magnum needs new brakes in the front, the standard pieces of shit are not able to stop the 360 Horsepower so its time to make some "stoppies". Ceramic Formel brakepads and Brembo made Zimmerman 345mm ventilated and drilled discs will do the job...First holiday, than a few hours of work when we are back...,it turned out to be only an hour for two brake discs! Can't give you test results right now cause I need to "brake in" for 150mls.

Brake a leg.

Rearbrake is working again, it was hard to find out what brake it was. Took the brakepads as a guideline and found out they were from a Kawasaki Z250 from the late 70's. Okay its a Japanese brake but so are your forks I guess. Replaced the rubbers, new oil and even bought new brakepads on the Dutch Graiglist.

Nothing beats a Motocross Session.

That's right: Nothing beats a Motocross session with my brother Bart at the hometrack in Hellmond. Nice weather today so the track was real nice, no dust, no mud, just perfect. Motocross rules.

1987 VINCENT FRAMES Mini BMX Cruiser

1987 VINCENT FRAMES MINI CRUISER, only 3 in the world! My last BMX Old School build, have about 30 bikes now so don't have space for another one, its 1 out, no in at the moment. Also no inspiration for a bike that I don't have already. This one came out very nice, I hate 24" BMX Cruisers but this one is close to a 20"...

2012 RAINBOW AT BOTTROP KUSTOM KULTURE

 

Brake problems for the '72

Brake problems Ironhead 1972: Brakelight didn't work so I took another bike to Bottrop, kinda lucky that it didn't work cause Andy or me shouldn't have had a working brake on our trip to Germany... It wasn't the brake light switch, after mounting a new one it still didn't work, the plunger of the "not original" brake pump got stucked in the reservoir so it didn't move the oil to the caliper. After cleaning and polishing all the parts it was working again and now the brake works perfect. I need two brakes on my bikes!

The U.K. chopper dudes arrived yesterday evening at the Hoodlum Society headquarters, today we are going to have a BBQ at 18:00h and we will leave Friday morning for BOTTROP KUSTOM KULTURE Show, its going to be a rough ride but we are well prepared....NOT! Find the Hoodlum '67 and '72 Ironheads at the show, or watch for them on the road or next to the railing, no no trailerqueens here.

This weekend: BOTTROP KUSTOM KULTURE! Tom, Fids and some other U.K. dudes are coming over for this, should be fun, Andy Z is taking the Hoodlum '72 Ironhead and I will bring the  Hoodlum '67 Ironhead.
See you in Germany.

The best day of the year was again: The best day of the year! TMV dealerday at the Grand Prix track Valkenswaard was sunny again and the track was well prepared. Thanks to Bart de Jong (www.fatbmx.com) for the awesome pictures and the guys at TMV to keep me motivated to ride that KTM SX144 for another year. Motocross rules, nothing can beat a session on a Grand Prix track.

The Merc is almost ready, have to paint the frontwheels and polish the wheel nuts and its ready to go. Not the best paintjob but good enough for now.Like it or not.

No "Ridinglicence" yet but training very hard to be the next chopper dude. Sloeri for MC President!

Open Dutch BMX Dirt Championship prices.

Made these prices for the Open Dutch BMX Dirt championships 2012 at the Helmtrails this Weekend.

BLACK is the new fucking WHITE!

BLACK is the new WHITE! After trying to sell the best car I ever owned: Mercedes 230E 1981 nobody replied so I say FUCK IT! Let's paint it black and keep it as long as it runs, and that will be for ages. Started with the rear end, cleaned the chrome bumper and took the dent out, cleaned the lights and started to make it "Rust-O-Leum Black" with a spraycan. Wheels are shiny black with new Toyo 330 tires for the next 25.000 miles. So not for sale anymore, well at least not under € 3000.00.

Duane Ballard did it again!

Have been working on my "LAST OLD SCHOOL BMX BUILD" again, this is one of only 3 ever made
VINCENT FRAMES Mini Cruisers from the mid 80's. I was sponsored by VF in 1986 but never rode a 24" cruiser before that one season in 1997. I don't like 24" BMX bikes at all but this will be so rare and so nice I couldn't resist to restore it, it will bring money to the table for sure. More pictures soon. Yes I have brand
new 7 spoke USA made SKYWAY TUFFWHEELS in black! Ride like shit but styles for miles.
