Cool slippery and slidin' steering...

Yesterday morning OMW to work, slippery roads... Taking it very easy, I came to a T-crossing which looked like an icetrack...
Gently I operated the rear brake and by the touch of my foot, the rear wheel started to slide side ways... Like in the pica above I started sliding over the crossing...
Thank god there is an unpaved entrance to a recreation area parking, so I could come to a stop there...
I didn't yell or scream, I kept my cool...
(Like my dad used to say; whatever you do, always keep your cool)

Cool Christmas pica...

For all of you who are still riding in the old cold December tempratures... To get a warm feeling, so close to Christmas...

(Pica source: theworldwidewebster)

(Un)Cool search...

For two days, the original keys to The Young Geisha had a little vacation... I couldn't find them and that drove me mad... Asking the kids if they had played with them... Turning over every dumpster, twice... Searching every room, bag jacket jeans I could lay my hands on...

Finally, checking the corner with jackets again, third time, laying on my tummy on the floor... From the corner of my eye I saw the buggers hanging between the bottles of wine laying there...

For you who don't know; Honda has a chip in their ignition keys which is checked every time you start the sickle, the H.I.S.S. Honda Ingnition Security System... Expensive to order a new key...!
Thank god I found the little buggers again...

Cool driver...

Because it's getting colder, just wanted to share a warm feeling (notice that oldschool rugg on the bottom of the car) with you guys... Maybe a good start of the week... Ran into this one on the net... Great pica...

Cool graphics...

Working on some new graphics for the Cheesehunters TC (touring club)... Mixing some old with some new... Maybe we'll get somewhere... Here's a sneak preview...

Cool in-home wrenching...

Last Saturday, the kids and the wife fled the home and daddy could do his stuff in peace... Metallica and later The Living End coming from the stereo... This time Getting My Hands Dirty with the front brakes... Disassembly - cleaning - greasing them to Jerigo and back before the government starts salting the roads... We're able to stop again...

Cool protection...

This morning  it was a fogging small world again... But entering the city of Amsterdam visability was fine... Maybe there was still a cloud hanging in front of the head of the driver of 'the whitevan men' van... When he decided to drive off the sidewalk, he didn't look to see if there was anyone else in his world...
At that moment my protective angel jumped off the back of the sickle and pushed me around it... Thanx Angel!

Cool weather report...?

If we can believe the weather reports, they say it's gonna be one hell of a winter... Night time temps to -25 degrees Celsius... starting in two weeks...
Mmmm... Serious winter gloves needed for us idiots on two wheels who continue riding...

Cool kit...

Downloaded some cool new app for my Galaxy S; Retro Cam... This morning when I walked in at my work, I ran into this little kit... I just couldn't resist...

Cool mills...

Yesterday, after helping out a friend, I rode home again on The Young Geisha... Passing these windmills for the... hundredth time... I finally to a nice pica, with my mobilephone this pica...
(Specially for all your non-dutch followers...!)
Also brought the big, high res cam and did some clicking around... More to come...

Cool mile pole...

Yesterday on my home, I ran into this moment... Stopped at the farm next to the road (yeah farm in the Amsterdam area!) in the poring rain... Take gloves off, open 4 zippers, take out the phone, catch this magical moment... 50.000 km's on the dash...!

Cool butt-ons...

Looks like someone hit the delete button on me... Unfriended (is that a word?) me at FB, all because I wondered who threw the shit out of the window I found (not for the first time) in our front garden... tried to keep it light-weighted and made a slightly funny remark at the end...

Apparently it was forbidden to talk about that even I didn't know who threw it out... The reaction to my post was waaaaaayyyy over the top... And No, I don't remove posts just because you don't like it...

Cool presents...

This morning OMW to work, about 4 degrees Celsius... Foggy world in rurral surroundings of Amsterdam... Fog above the water and fields... (In the fog you can just see the 'Flying Dutchman' on his way to Amsterdam Central station)... Natures creates beautiful presents these times of the year...
It's also time again to get the thicker gloves out...

Cool Friday findings...

Whilst surfing the net... Reading some strange story about emergency plastic pea-bags in public transport in the Netherlands here... I heared on the radio the trains have an annual problem with falling leaves on the tracks... Every bloody year the same problem...
If they can think of plastic piss-bags for trains without (!) toillets, they can think of tiny brooms for each passanger, to use when the leaves fall... Can't they..?

Anyways; I ran into this cool pica...

Cool wrappings...


Last Friday on my way home, it was such a beautiful weather... i couldn't stop myself from taking some picas... The black plastic things are rolls of hay wrapt in plastic, cow winter food...With the second one a vew words came into my head like; 'Wrap it up and go!' and 'Roll On!'

(They say the whole week's gonna be a great after-summer...)

Definitely this weeks Sunday Special...!

Cool past glory...

Past glory, that seemed to be the theme of this holidays pictures after running into this beautiful building. Next to the railroad station in the village of Jemelle in Belgium, we ran into this old maintenance place for trains... The place was abandonded but the huge doors were wide open... No, I didn't need a second invetation...

Thursday, August 11, 2011

Cool findings again...

Just imagine... You walk into a shed and there are se-ve-ral old motorcycles in there... Covered in dust, just waiting to get kicked back to live again... Only if we could be so lucky... (Notice the banana peel on the handle bar?)

Cool Monday's find...

Cool crate...

The front brakes needed maintenance again a few weekends back, dragging and sticky is what they were... To get the front wheel of the ground I use the mid stand and as a support under the frame I use a... Grolsch beer crate... Very handy (multi purpose) tool to have hanging around...

Cool lights...

The mrs and me went to the theatre with some friends a few weeks back... It's a cool building with some interresting lights... Couldn't resist snapping them...

Cool destinations...

I'm desperate need of a vacation... Me feels like going to a warm and dry climate, maybe Mexico and then run into a graveyard like above... That sounds cool to me... But I think this year we might end up spending not so much money on our holiday to save up for the longer trips...

Cool short reaction time...

This morning I had a very close encounter with a taxi... The blind 50+ year old bitch didn't give way whilst I was on the main road and coming from her right... On the crossing she also had to cross a cycling lane, what if one was biking there at that time...
With block front and rear wheel I cound nearly prefent an accident, all she did was a watery excuse me hand after I horned the hell out of her and made sure she didn't mis understood me...
While passing her I just missed kicking off her (useless) side mirror... Damned...

(Pica source: theworldwidewebster)

Cool fucking around artwork...

Been fucking around with a pica of a hotrod from the archieve... Flipped it horizontal, traced it and added some text to it... Did some more picas just to experiment, will upload them in a later stadium...

Cool tool...

Bought myself a new tool... Yep, time to get my hands dirty again... It was also about time to cleam the chain on The Young Geisha, afterwards lubed it again and off we went...
The little blue bugger really works good, like a tooth brush for the old chain...

Cool ride...

Saturday the 11th of June, son friend and I went for our annual Whithsunday Run... This year, with our tents on the back of the sickles, we set for Dusseldorf in Germany... We had heavily rainfalls and also loads of sunshine, and loads of fun... This pica is a detail shot of Bas' sickle, a 2005 Triumph Thruxton 900...

Uncool sensations...

This morning, commuting to work on my Young Geisha, it was just another rainy morning... Halfway to Amsterdam I felt a nasty cold and wet sensation creeping up my legg... My waterproff and protective gear suddenly wasn't that waterproof anymore... The cold water creeped trough a seem in the pants to the inside, where my jeans were... Making it's way trough the denim fabric working it's way towards my undies...
Not long after that a cold and wet feeling got hold of my scrotum...

Man, that is not the feeling I'm looking for... Warn and wet, ok... But this is really nasty... After setting up some stuff at work, I ran out to get some dry gear... Now I have some spare for the way home... ha ha ha...

(Un)cool reminders...

Yesterday for my work I had to go and work on location at a customer... To my surprise the location was next to an old WW2 camp... This camp was used to ship prisoners from to other concentration camps like Auswitz etc. The old camp is now an adjucation site, place of rememberance... I had to make this pica... Later that day I went back with my cam and also went to the Russian war graves around the corner...

(Pica taken with my mobile phone)
