Freezing their butts off by minus 25 degrees Celsius... German bullets flying around your head, stuck in a fox hole in the forrests in Belgium, seeing your buddy get his throat getting shot out by the jerries... No supplies coming in...
With 2010 coming to an end, greatest radio show of the Top2000 (the 2000 best pop songs ever... best listened to through www.radio2.nl) on my headphones, commuting to work with public transport again...
Here is another one for the 'Cool & Rusty' label... Found it somewhere on the world wide spiders web net or something like that...
The woman of the little flower shop in front of the building I work in (she rides as well): "You are so brave (or crazy) to ride in this weather..."
Last night I ran into this beauty... Is Santa already in town...? Or...?
Found this one on the net, Christmas lights on the other side of the planet... Australia...
%$&@#, yeah I really had it with the bloody snow...! Tuesday, in the car I got stuck 4 times... And no, no shovels in the car...
So, last Friday... No busses in Amsterdam, had to walk to catch a tram towards Central Station... Total chaos @ Central Station... Found a train that was going towards I wanted to go...
Total choas on the Dutch roads... seems that public transport in Amsterdam is down... Looks like I'm walking back to train station (approx. over an hour) and then I'll have to see if the trains are still riding...
Ran into this pica in the archives... Loads and deepest of respect for the men in green that came to Europe's rescue in the second world war... Been reading about the battle of Bulge, my god minus 18 to minus 25 degrees, Jerries bullets flying around your head and the only thing you can hide in is a 'foxhole'... Next spring I will go to Belgium to pay my respects to the ones who didn't make it then...
Found this pica of this abandoned motorcycle on the net... It's been ganging out there for quite some time, just look at the front tire...
Just imagine you're working in an office based in an old school... On the walls there are some pieces of art painted... One of them is this one above... Me thinks this is a cool piece of Wall-Art...
Yesterday in the afternoon, after decorating the tree, we went outside for a little walk in the neighbourhood... Cold wind, snotty noses but a nice sun peaking through the clouds...Last Saturday it was quite busy in our town... loads of angels and other bikers... They were here to escort an Angel called Rob to his last resting place... He was short a week before...
It was impressive to see so many bikes in a row...

It would be great to find presents like these old beauties under our Christmas tree...
Found this pica on the net... Any means left at Duinkerke in WW2... In the background traces of a battleground...
I found thisone on the Net, it's a good example of what I'm thinking of these days... Summer!!!
The girl from Nippon has a little winters break... Going nowhere... Roads slippery like speed skating ovals in the morning, wet in the afternoons and frozen again during the evening/night... Bugger mate!... Damned public transport...
Due to the weather, frozen side walks and streets, I had to take the public transportation to work... Traveling through a small world (very foggy!), to work takes me three times longer then when I take The Young Geisha there... Here is a foggy pica of the building I work in...
Yesterday, in Amsterdam, it started snowing around 15:00 o'clock... I left the office around 17:00 and rode home on The Young Geisha... Very slippery, I can tell you...!
This morning when I rode my Young Geisha to work, I did n't see any other motorcyclists... Maybe that was because of the weather... It almost felt like riding to the North Pole...
Since this weekend I got a new toy... Some kind of Android smart cell phone, with navigation, maps, layar, music player and a 5 megapixel camera... Hope I can bore you more with interresting picas, taken with this little bugger...
Ran into this pica on the net... I've seen this bike before at a bikeshop, an BMW F800... Me like the coloursceme orange and black/mat-satin black... Would be nice to ride to work and back...
Found thisone on the world wide web... Love the old skool lever, the high gloss paint and chrome-chipped head light... Nice one!
Finally, after two years it stands... a cool additional shead in the backyard...
Last week in the evening the outdoor temprature was around 1 degree Celsius... Very foggy, foggy hell mate!... Ha ha ha... anyways, front brakes where sticking and I really had to get my hands dirty... So I told the misses I was doing some work in the livingrrom... ha ha ha... They seemed to be so serious sticking like sticky tape... after one evening from 20:30 till 23:00 of hardcore brake cleaning, ...they still stuck... Next day took teh bike to the local bike shop and they had the right tools to finish the job...
I know a cool angel... Two years ago I met her in Amsterdam, in a hospital... My wife and me met her today two years ago... Tomorrow it's two years ago we released her back to nature, burried her human shell in the dunes... We called her Liv...
Last night, as me being a biker, had a good night... First, on the same channel, we kicked off with Ghost Rider... Nice movie about the legend of Ghost Rider and evil spirits and so on... I was a bit disapointed with the 'super hero style' way Johnny rode his chopper upwards along the side of a building... Bummer...
Right after Ghost Rider, without commecial break, we rode into a Quinten Tarantino's movie called Hell Ride...
I ran into this pica on the net... Wouldn't it be great to have graveyards like this over here in The Netherlands... Love these sites...
So they say in the 50's this was aparking at their local supermarket...
Freaky Friday...!!!
This pretty little strom is beginning to make a mess of The Netherlands at the moment... I think it will be a challange to get home on my sickle in one piece...
Walking through the forrest and you run into thisone... that would be great... Cool findings...!!!
Here is another cool one for ya, from the everlasting archives... but what's with that front fender...?
Is it the temprature outside that made these coppars go inside, or is it the women in underwear behind the windows that made them go inside... Likes like a cool job to me, riding your sickle around and now and then go in and chat to these ladies... Cops caught at the redlight district Amsterdam
Last Friday when I got home, I found a big box on the table... After about a week my shipment had arrived, the one my sister send over from Australia that is...
I see some nice scooters laying around in this pica... very nice collection...!
Next to the road, somewhere in France, we ran into this victim of old and rusty organ transplantation...
Last Saturday bought myself some new and warm winter gloves at the motorcycle store... Also a "bankrobber's" hood with coldblocker (look really silly when I wear that!!) and... a bright yellow high visibility vest with reflective sections across it...
Here is a nice contrast in this pica... notice the people in the pica and the bike in the front... notice the detail of the duck tape on the rear fender...
" Yes, it was free so I just saved it..." While surfing the net I ran into this nice scooter... Pica taken somewhere in Athens I believe...
Actually, the day I took this pica it wasn't that cool... 32 degrees Celsius to be almost precise...
Here is the Old Gal being estimated by Ella from the company Idex, September last year... Nice background, want to ride roads like that again...
This pica I found on the net says it all... Scrap..., but on the left hand side I see a kings and queens buddyseat, we don't wanna scrap that, do we?
Sunday after a family visit, with our bicycles, we walked out a little pedestrians tunnel connecting our village with an other... We ran into this little beauty... We have passed this point so often but this was the first time we saw her standing there... Will return soon to make some more picas of her...
