Rockabillyday...

Last weekend we had some good times at the Rockabilly Day Weekender here in Belgium...
Only got as far as my own booth, working all sunday, but what a fun day it has been.
in front of the booth are Limpe's XS chopper and my buddy Angelo's 26 T.
Also Check out Angelo's company called Sinner Supply

My shovel...

Some shot's of my shovel in Bottrop last Juin...
along with some other great bikes such as FD's Pan, Heino's Shovel and Marc's Knuckle.
made the trip with some friends from the OSC forum...enjoyed a great ride in great company.
Limpe (yes him again...) also joined us and shot some killer riding pics.
When we arrived at the Bottrop Kustom Kulture show, apparently we were noticed.
Floris Veldhuis shot some nice pics and these are now in the newest Bigtwin issue.
Thanx to Floris for the great comments...only thing... my bike isn't from Holland...it's a Belgian Hardass!
and also this: the scans of the pages came from the FDPhoto blog


Limpe's chopper again...

Just finished (well most of it for now) painting Limpe's chopper...
He just build his own "Thing" not caring about any style or direction it went...
he basicly build this neat XS to his own ideas and thoughts...

He then gave me complete freedom in design and paint, for wich I thank him dearly even though it was a bit of a hard road ;-)
after talking some on different occasions, I got a pretty good idea of why and how Limpe build this bike. For me and hopefully also for Limpe this comes shining through the paint.

Wanna see more of this great bike...check out Limpe's blog or check it out on the road...
PS I can only take credit for the pinstriping, goldleaf and lettering...the beautifull candy green flaked paintjob was done by a friend of Limpe.
