Really like the photo's and editting. Great blog too: brauchi's bikes.

I have sooo much to learn....

Midnight train

Just got home form a mid-night ride on the Beemer cafe racer(after swapping the throttle cables this morning). The trip back from where we work on the Virago should only take 40 minutes. It took me about one hour more than that. Just didn't want to stop riding.  

Prosper's beamer cafe

Prosper is the guy behind anything but stock beemers. He contacted me a while ago after I posted on this blog that I was looking for bikes to photograph. The horrible 'summer' we've been having here made that impossible for a while and even today the weather could have been better (some sunlight would have been nice.....), but I think the photo's look pretty good. For a large part because the bike looks very good :)

Thanks Prosper!!

Made up our minds

We finally decided what color scheme we are going for with the Virago. The tank is already prepped for paint and I took one of the side covers home with me to prep it here. Made it ages ago with a very crappy arc welder, so it needed some work. I know a bucket load of bondo would also have fixed it, but that's not what we want.

Can't wait to see what the Virago will look like....

Choppersyle bike show's runner up

This little 2 stroke got the second place. This one of those bikes that photo's just don't doa ny justice, you just have to see it for real. You'll wonder what we all wondered: What the h*ll has the builder been smoking?

Fantastic little bike!

Email fom Italy: CB750 tracker

Francesco of Franzgarage send me another email, this time with some more photo's of his cb750 tracker. If I like it..... Hell yes!!! Great job again, very nice photos Francesco, grazie!

Choppersyle low budget bike show winner: cj360 brattstyle

We did some voting and despite the democratic process, the guy from Belgium won ;). He had my vote too. Great little bike, very well proportioned, very well build. It does not happen very often that I see a bike that I wouldn't want to change anything about. Usually there's always something (rear light, mirror, seat, whatever) that I would have done differently. Not on this bike. Brilliant build.

And a action shot of yours truly made by Fotoduda:

Amsterdam (not bike related)

My cousin has a boat that will seat about 20 people, so every year the whole family takes a trip on the canals of Amsterdam. Thought I'd share a few of the photo's. I love to visit Amsterdam (would never want to live there though) and I can highly recommend going there for a weekend or so.
