Amsterdam Re-Stocked

The shelves of the American Book Center and Chopperdome are now stocked with SB#5. Not much motorcycle action on the streets, apart from the usual XT500 shitters, and shiny GS1250 BMs with nice farty exhausts ricocheting in the narrow streets.
The beautiful Guggenheim-like building (photo bottom right) is the Europarking on Marnixstraat, which was the original test venue for the Goodspeed 500 race series - as the project was sadly stillborn, their website and the original video no longer exists, but you can still see the test race on You Tube.

Chips and mayo in a Bakfiets? Some kind of heaven, surely? Love that speedblocked bicycle.

Where can I find the copper and cream bike with the dish wheels? That's PERFECT!

Mick,
13 years of living on the continent weened me off fluffy chips drowned in vinegar. This back street micro-chippy 'Vleminckx Vlaamse Friteshuis' has been serving Belgian style fries since 1887. Well worth a detour.

check this link: for better photos & more info. The bike was built by Matt 7/32 a Londoner. Amongst the nice touches is the seat pan made from a shovel BP
