Cool tough cookie...

Here's a very cool, early Christmas, internet finding for you guys... One tough cookie on a cool sickle...
Look like she's happy she made it home in one piece (for x-mas?)... Looking at het jacket, an old WW2 M43(or so) jacket, this pica must be taken after 1945...
Me likes thisone very much...!

Cool empty highway...

In the Amsterdam area they're extending the roadmaps... This part of the A5 will be opened on December 15th... Before that I just had to catch images of the empty highway, by night...
The new tacmac still smelled like fresh tarmac, fresh paint on the road...

(TheRoadAheadIsEmpty...)

Cool green...

Here's one I shot a vew years ago... At the 'King Cruise', between March and October, the second Sunday of the month, loads of US vehicle maniacs come together... From classics upto the new stuff... You know where my eyes go to...

(Shotwiththelittlepocketdigitalcamin2009)

Cool King...

Loads of black, minmal chrome, little orange... Nice one...
Nice apes... Notice the sickle in the back, nice white walls...

Cool welding wonder...

Here is 'the welding wonder' Ed on his home build bike... He welded the frame himself, the guys at the roadworthy test centre didn't believe he did it himself...
Welded stainless steel brackets, mounts and so on and so on... Very handy creative dude...

Cool lighthouse...

Riding through the harbour area with mini me this weekend... This an old lighthouse in our local harbour... It's been transformed into a antenna for mobile phones... Nice how it's almost an invisable transformation... Better then the obious fake trees they place in the nature areas...

Cool paintjob...

Me thinks this sickle has a cool satin black with tribal art paintjob... One of the beauties on our local Harley weekend...

Cool orange restoration project...

This orange and black beauty is restored by Ron & Inge and they did a very good job doin' that... They putt it up in the bike contest a view months back... It became the most photographed bike at the show...

Cool sun rise...

"Gooood day sun shine...!" That was what I was thinking this morning when I ran into this beautiful scene...

(Pica taken with my mobile phone)

(un)Cool maintenance moments...

The wet season is starting over here in the Netherlands, so I thought I'd better get myself some new rubber on the front wheel... It was getting wobbely anyways...

I was a bit to enthusiast on one bolts and yeah... it snapped... Leaving a small bit of the stud in the lower fork leg... Bugger mate! YOU MUPPET!! Decided to heat the hell out of the leg and with a pair of grip pliers I managed to get the bugger out... Ordered a new one for 80 Euro cents and have to wait till Tuesday for it to come in...

(An old beer crate always makes a good support stand...)

Cool moments caught...

On our local Harley meeting, this year I was more like a reporter then a biker... Went there with "The Love Seat", that's my wifes Kia Picanto, and took the big digital cam...
Love to catch the moments and here are some more I wanted to share with you...
A continued Sunday Special...

Cool local Harley day...

Last Sunday, took the big camera and ran to the annual local Harley day... Organised by the local HAMC and every year a good visited event... Ran into some (old) friends again... Will post more pica's later of this 'Sunday Special'

Cool bicycle stand...

On the way to our holiday destination, in France we ran into an abandoned office building... Next to it on the parking there was this bicycle stand... Great to see how Nature takes over again...

Cool blue...

Part two of the Sunday Special...

Cool day at the beach...

Yesterday we had a cool day at the beach... Prob. the last real summer day this year if I have to believe the weather forecast... Got a sun burned back, what about UV protection...!
Yeah, a real Sunday Special to me...

Cool sleeping beauty...

Yes, we're back from our bloody hot holiday in France. France is always a good source for cool stuff...
On our way to some waterfalls we passed this beauty and some friends of hers... Just standing next to the road, waiting for nature to take over...

Cool sick blues...

The misses and daughter wanted to be swung around, backwards-forwards, up-down, left-right, till they almost had to throw up... Well, the got value for their money... "The ride lasted a bit to long this time..." ha ha ha... Me and mini-me had a good distance and view on it...! Nice fair-ride...!

Cool blues...

Whilst running err-ons, we ran into the old factory hall... They used to produce kitchens and doors here...
After some real de-clay, they started renovation on this site, the top of the building is where they started. That left this bottom corner almost untouched. Had squeeze my but through the fencing to make this shot...

Cool Project 346...

Here is Project 346, posing specially for you guys...

Cool finished Project 346...

Here ya go...! Friday, after work, scored the brown grips and saddle...
Ran into the shed and replaced the old ones with the new ones... Placed the Mecster on a chair have him keep his eyes closed and... taraaaaaa!!!! Open your eyes...
Here is your new bike son... Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...

Then his sister came home (it's her old bike): Wooow Mec, that is a veeerrryyy COOL bike...!!!

(Who's a happy daddy...???)

Cool bike, under construction - cont'd...

Up-date:
Yesterday afternoon, on my way back home from work, I stopped at 'The Chopperdome' in Amsterdam... A bicycle shop with veeeeerrrryyyy cool bikes and bike stuff... You can spend a load of euro's there...!!!
Purchased the (mini) ape hanger for the bike project, on the receipt 'project 346' was their adm number... Maybe we can call this the 346 project or just project 346...

So, applied the flame stickers and then took the old handle bars off and installed the ape hanger.
Still in search of the brown saddle and grips...
(Was thinking of a small round mirror as well, when I was young I thought that was uber cool to have on your bicycle... and a little bell of course...)

Cool bike, under construction...

Was a pink bike... Found head light on the side of a street, cut the rear fender. Colour > Satin black... Needs a ape hanger, brown saddle and brown grips... Need to apply the flames and take the orange reflectors out...

Cool white pants...

These early day cruiser look very sharp in their club suites... I can't really see myself riding The Old Gall in white pants... They wouldn't last for 5 bloody seconds...

Cool hidden fources...

Whilst some furniture shopping for our living room, behind some trucks and parts of ships, we ran into these hidden Renault 4's... In total there were 8 of them hanging around, waiting for more decay to happen...

Cool catch...

Like Dave Grohl said when Foo Fighters played Pinkpop in 2011:

"Let's wait a minute..., there's a fucking rainbow out there!"

Last Friday evening, coming back from my weekly ass-kicking @ Sportskarate, I ran into these two rainbows... What else could I do but hit the brakes of my sickle and catch these beauties...?

Cool sea of bikes...

It's not Home Depot or Office Depot but it is a bike depot... City of Amsterdam tows away bikes which are parked in wrong spots... If you can find any that is... At the train stations you'll find almost the same image as the one above...
I pass this depot every day... I see the sea growing and growing and after a couple of weeks..., suddenly they're all gone... Sold or dumped...?
So if you're looking for a bike in Amsterdam, go there and buy one for almost nothing...
Jumped off my sickle, took the cam out of the inner pocket and caught this site...

Cool camping...

Found this pica on the webster... Ooh man, do I feel like going for a looooong vacation...

(Pica source: stoleitfromtheroguesmcblog)

Cool beach pica two...

Another shot I caught on the beach... Like to call it; 'Back on track'...

Cool beach pica...

The kids had a beach excursion last Sunday, learning about the animals - shells - plants in the dunes... We did a little stroll on the sand and  found the trash-dumpsters didn't float out to sea... Let's keep the beaches and seas clean...

Cool orange...

And suddenly you see why they think you are a fan of the national soccer team... Our team is playing Germany tonight in the European Championships... The Orange team...

(getting-loads-of-thumbs-up-lately)

Cool pica finding...

 

Notice the cool front tire: "Olympic", nice detail... Great composition, great shot of this cool sickle...

(Pica source: theworldwidewebster)

Cool WLA findings...

Here's another cool finding, found it some time ago on the net... Nice sickle...!

Cool group of heroes...

The jumped out of airplanes over Normandy on D-Day, fought for 30+ days in a row... The jumped in over the Netherlands in Operation Market Garden and fought for 70+ days in a row, without a shower and a warm meal... Two weeks later they've been shipped out of France to the Bastogne region. Sat there in foxholes in the ground for a month and a half with snow and -20 degrees celsius...
The made their way through France to Hitler's Eagles nest...

Some of them are still alive...!!!

Thank you for fighting for our freedom!!!

With honor and respect.

Cool, cool heroes...!!!

Over here in the Netherlands this Friday we'll have 'Remembrance day' and on Saturday we celebrate our national 'Liberation day'... Friday we remember all the people that fought for our freedom during the second world war (and all the people that suffered from acts of war)... At 8 pm the whole nation will be silent for two minutes (where ever we go, we will stand still) and the day after, music festivals are widely spread... Celebrating our freedom!

Thank you all for fighting for our freedom!

Freedom is something worth fighting for...!!!

Cool net findings...

Looks someone took off for a long (paid by the state??) holiday...

Cool Mustang parts source...

Guess if my sis and bil need some parts for their Black Bess, this would be the place to find them...

Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs, Mustangs everywhere...!

There is also a Mustang scrap yard in Rhode Island...

Cool Black and Beautiful...

Yesterday ended up at the garage with the family car... Something wrong with the steering/wheel/drive axle...
"Sir, I'll have to keep the car here. It's not save to drive this car..." Ok, I was just coming by to tell them the car felt wobbely when accellerating and taking the foot of the throttle... It was due to her MOT next week and had appointment already, was just telling them to check that as well...
Why don't you ride around the back and we'll check it right away... Yeah, why not... I'm glad I did will not imagine sitting in the car with family and the wheel desiding her own direction to go...

Maybe whilst the car is in teh garage, maybe I can use my brotherinlaw's new toy... A 1967 V8 Ford Mustang called Black Bess... Well...
It's a petty it's standing on the other side of the world in The Land of Oz... My compliments to my sis and bil for their good taste in fine cars...!

Cool fogging' small world...

Passing this point every morning commuting to work... Yesterday morning the world was fogging smaller than other mornings...
I just couldn't resist snapping the moment, parked the sickle and took out the Galaxy...

(Pica: takenwithmy SamsungGalaxyS)

Cool Rogues MC Choppershow 2012, part 3...

Lateste trend seems to be a 23" front wheel in a bagger with the front fork under an angle... Notice the flat type front tire... Apparently the build seemd to be a nightmare, said my source...
