Aaahhh!!
Trying to get ready for Dirtquake!!!
Bought my first car (Daihatsu gran move) to get there. Still need to find out if I can fit the GR650 in the car...! New wheels arrived, looking great!
Could use some help. :) Yesterday we wanted to change the oil, normally it contains 2.4 liter of oil.
It flowed out much faster than normal and it didn't stop after 2.4 liters. I think it was something like 5 liters this time and it smelled like gasoline, shit!
So how can that happen?
Troubles with the carbs is my first guess. Have to find out this weekend because I'm leaving to Dirtquake next Friday! Oh, who's also planning to go to Dirtquake this year? More Dutch guys?
Leaving Amsterdam on friday around 17.00 hour. Still have to see hom much space I have left in the Gran Move but I think I have an extra spot left in my car so if you would like to go to Dirtquake send me an email. lennardschuurmansATgmail.com
The news is out! My Good friend, and Rusty Gold Swap Meet partner in crime, Zoran Holtkamp is starting a new adventure under the Rusty Gold flag.
He's going to open the Rusty Gold Motorshop in Amsterdam, so cool to finally share this news with you guys! Carefully
selected motorcycle lifestyle related clothing and accessories, from
all over the world. Hard to find brands, magazines, books and art. And
even a selection of cool vintage parts, in a vintage automotive inspired
interior. Some of the confirmed brands are Iron and Resin, Eat Dust, Biltwell, El Solitario, Edwin, Vans, Roland Sands and loads more. Besides being a store, the Rusty Gold MotorShop will also serve a
social aspect. Meeting up with your buddies before a ride-out, taking a
pit-stop during, or just hang out and have a chat whilst enjoying a
great Rusty Gold Coffee. No 'soy decaf lattes with hazelnut syrup shots'. And sorry, but no glüten-free cheesecake with organic raspberries either. What
you will get is a great tasting and strong cup of Coffee. High quality
but without any modern day mishmash and for an old fashioned price. There is no such thing in Amsterdam or the Netherlands so perfect timing my friend :) Zoran can use some extra support so if you like this idea and would like to help a little please go to his crowdfunding Indiegogo page! Support the underground, show you care, and don't forget to tell this to you're friends! :) The Rusty Gold MotorShop logo is designed by the talented Menze Kwint.
"Hi Lenny, This is the latest from my shed. The goal was a nice looking, uncomplicated, low budget café-racer style bike, with space for a passenger. It should be reversible into an original CB, so just bolt-on changes. No frame-shave this time. It is a stock CB500F frame, everything on the frame is kept intact, including the two helmet holder hooks on the frame. Clip-ons are 70's NOS items, which are a bit lower then M-bars, but more pointed backwards, so all in all more comfortable. The
seat is made from 1mm flat sheet, with beads on the underside, to make
it stronger. Overkill really, because the seat rests on a small frame
which hinges like the original seat does. The LUCAS repro tail light
is attached to the seat, as is the license plate. The whole unit fits
straight onto any standard cb500f frame. On the right side of the bike is the fairly silent 70's 'MACH 1' Bos exhaust , which came from Kay. A Yamaha light, probably from an old rd-something, takes care of the illuminating business. Oh yeah, and Koni shocks.
Cheers,
BC"
Thanks BC, cool bike! And thank you for the nice riding shots with the new owner, looks like a great match! Don't forget to check the Raw Candy blog for more sweet stuff!
