HD-museum Milwaukee

best museum ever!!!!!I stayed for about 3,5 hours, a lot of cool stuff and too little time... if i just could take one knuckle or flattie, they have plenty, probaly won't miss one....warren arranged a private tour via a friend, got to see place's in the museum were normally tourist aren't allowed.

I got to know Warren from jrscycleproducts.blogspot.com. this is a friend of jeremiah. Warren picked me up from milwaukee airport, he found a place for me to stay at his shop. the shop is located in one of 3 big compounds. I stayed at colleen and JP's place, two really hospitable persons. colleen gave me a tour through milwaukee and I could stay at their place and make use of their facilities. extremely hospitable!!! colleen is a photographer and has a cool hondamatic...!

via warren got to meet Dan, cool guy with a killer knuckle!! a couple of issue ago, he and his bike were featured in the GK. another great city which I visited during my USA trip, as well as the people I got to meet over there! good times!!!

honda CB200 '77

a couple of weeks sold my '77 honda to fund my triumph project

did around 4000 miles on this bike in 10 months. not a fast bike but very reliable. it never let me down. topspeed was 70 mls.....

get some crazy/stunned faces when cars/bikes passed me on the dutch highway.

foto is made by my dad when we made a trip though Zeeland, Zierikzee. end summer 2009.

whatever you want..... since a couple of years I'm passionate about old/ vintage chopper stuff. my dad rode a flathead in the end '70 / early '80. on this blog I will post some pic's of my latest triumph project and other bike stuff I love.

pic is of my first build, a Jawa. I 'm just graduated and in search for a job, so I never had the money for a harley, triumph, bsa project. so therefore I started with this JAwa. with the help of Phil from DSK this bike is one of a kind. everything is home-build with cheap parts.

Last week found a triumph basket case on a dutch craiglist site. it's a 21cui 3ta triumph ex-militairy bike. with the help of harry I will try to make it a cooll hardtail. I will put some pic's on the blog in a couple of day's.

in 2009 i made a trip to the US; LA, San fran, las vegas, phoenix (love cycles), milwaukee(jr's cycle products & hd-museum), new york and boston. I stayed in cheap hostel and traveld by plain,bus and train. I was the best trip of my life. met a lot of cool people. I will post some pics of this trip.
