As far as the overall look of the bike...slowly getting there...

more to come of course...

March 1st...2months in the New Year...guess it's about time to pick up the blog again.
Deeply sorry for the lack of posts...had some kind of computer burnout...after all the photo editing and email most of the days I didn't feel like spending one more minute on the computer.
So now you got it coming...keep checking back in the next few days (and hopefully weeks) cause we got a whole bunch of cool stuff lined up for this blog as well as for the Motorized! blog...

Enjoy!

First off...
The Old workshop is closed now...I'm working from home in the back of my garden ...a lot smaller but much more relaxed
Memories from the old place will last me a lifetime...very fortunate those memories are well documented with great shots from over the last 4 years...

Gabriel Griffin's book about the Heathens MF was one of the Highlights of the last weeks...

Check out more here
And read what Gabriel is saying about it...
"This is a project that has been on the top of my OCD list for the last three or four years. I started out playing music with lyrics from a 60's club members point of view and that turned into a three camera, two car shoot from California to South Dakota to interview the original members of the Venice and South Bay Heathens Motorcycle Family. Crazy. I couldn't believe I was going to actually do it while I was coordinating the camera crew and renting vehicles. If someone came to me and said "hey, I'm going to hang out with this motorcycle gang that I met. You want to bring a video camera and film it?" I would think that guy was crazy. Motorcycle clubs don't put up with that shit. Well, this group liked me enough to let me sit down with them and tell the story of the rise and fall of their club in the 70's and 80's. Hours and hours and hours of video footage, interviews, hundreds of vintage photos collected and too many crazy stories to tell in one sitting. That turned into the book that you see here. It turns out editing is extremely expensive and this movie is going to take a good chunk of time in the editing booth."

My buddy Dave send me this one a while back...Because he came across it on the web and it made him think about me...Thanks Bro...I'm honoured this painting did that to you...
Of course you all know it's a David Mann Painting!!!

Getting the Pickup ready for moving made me look for some more inspiration on the web.
Some day...when time and money are on my side, for now let's focus on getting the ship registered!

Fabulous Paint by Harpoon...one of todays painters I admire very much...
All the stuff he does is simply amazing...

Venom...Kings of Black Metal!

Buddy Keith testfitting his just found  70ies flaked Full Faced lid...
He got it for a ridiculous price at the Saterday swapmeet.
This find was celebrated with a nice breakfast for real men...Trappist & HotDogs!
Hope you enjoyed Antiseen bro!

Our good friends at the Draggers CC from Munich can welcome another sleek new ride...
Tobi now runs this '36 Ford, previously owned by Michael (Bottrop Kustom Kulture organiser)
Pretty curious what the Draggers treatment on this one gonna look like...

Weekend is over...and the score is making me a happy man...
Vetfrakken mc Swapmeet on Saterday & HAMC Ghent Swapmeet today...
these neat finds will get me busy for some time...

This one's for the weekend...

as promised, a little more on the new Chopper project...decided to keep the original shovel complete for now...and just have a go with the new frame and some parts I've been gatering for a while now...as usual this will be some kind of on going...tryin out diffferent setups kinda project ...and then maybe, just maybe we'll get in a "finished" version in a couple of years from now.

Untill mid Januari I will remain busy moving the work shop...squeezing 300m2 of stuff gathered over the last 10 years in a new homeshop of about 50m2 is kindoff an adventure...
Also some different paintjobs need to be finished...so plenty to do for the time being...

But for now (in a couple of hours) it's of to the Vetfrakken Swapmeet near Antwerp and on Sunday the search for more parts continues at the HAMC Ghent Swapmeet.
will be great catching up with a lot of people...
Meanwhile keep checking the blog for your occasional update...

Icy Frost Flowers on the outside wall of the spraybooth this morning,
I like to think it's Nature's way of approving of what's going on inside...
