Art matters instead of Elite Spacy works




I've been busy making some new artwork for an exhibition. Motorcycle life mixed with bird skulls and feathers. All made on the wood lathe and disc sander.
No progress on the Spacy Elite. Finally received the hub from LA, but it's not a straight fit.But it will be a good example for my own hub to create.
Sept 29th, I'll be organizing the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 's-Hertogenbosch.I'll drop some images in due time.

quick update CH250

 Some quick shots of the tyresetup. Bought a new rim with tyre 225/4,5-10.Practically same diameter as the 120/90-10 tyre.
After trying to find some parts to manufacture a hub myself, i decided to trim the original hub and use it as a base for the new hub.Also ordered a gasket set so I can start to make some templates for the right side.

1979 Suzuki SP370 DR370 Old pics and video


 Two images of my 1980 Suzuki SP370. The first picture is me trying to hold on back in 2006.I did some off-roading with it but it broke down often.It had a good engine.
The second picture was after putting in a Husky upside down front fork. It got a pretty high clearance. The whole weekend I spent riding on the beach in some strange weather: Ice cold,very strong winds and sunshine in between very dark clouds.It was organized by the Dutch XT/SR500 club. The most beautiful ride so far...

1986 Honda CH250 Spacy/Elite: the rim


I bought a simple 10x8 10 inch steel rim to find out how much clearance I've got between the engine. It's time to decide what tyre to use. A quad tyre will definitely have the looks, but handling will be worse. A scooter tyre like a 130/70-10 will end up being 220/50-10 I guess and will reduce top end speed.
The hub I bought was a pre-sale offer, so I'm still anxiously waiting...

Honda CH250 Spacy/Elite quick shots


A few quick shots after cleaning up the scoot. Unfortunately too occupied with serious business to post. 
I did order a nice 10x8-10 inch rim and the ATR hub will soon be shipped from LA. Fatty time!

roadtrip to Rusty Goldswap + Meet in Amsterdam

 Last Sunday we took a nice small road trip from 's-Hertogenbosch to Amsterdam, about 90 km to the Rusty Goldswap+Meet organised by Bubblevisor.
Me on the Spacy/Elite accompanied by an 1978 Elektra Glide and a 2005 Hayabusa; both sides of the cc spectrum.
Took a ferry to cross the Waal river and followed the Vecht river. All trees were in bloom, it was Liberation Day and perfect weather. We were to busy enjoying the ride and weather to make pictures. just managed to get a few...
