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.
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find the copper and cream bike with the dish wheels? That's PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteFatass, it's a Chopperdome bike. Just click the link in the post. G
ReplyDeleteMick,
ReplyDelete13 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
That is awesome. Thanks so much! Maybe, one of these days...
