KicXstart

Again good news for the guys of Perfect Dream Bikes. Rene's Valvoline V-max is featured in the Dutch sportsbike magazine KicXstart.

Robert's Blade Fighter

Robert did his first ride on his bike this year and we were there! The Fireblade Fighter is bloody awesome. It's made by Perfect Dream Bikes, and a dream bike it is!

Zoomy's Triumph

Today the trip went to Ricardo (Zoomy Kustoms) and we shot his wicked Triumph Bonnie, which is spooned into an Uncle bunt rigid frame. Another Triumph chop, another oil-tank's filler cap flying round. (what's all that about Triumphs and filler caps??) This bike is cool as **** with it's nice cocktail shakers and the rattle-can paint, done by mr. Zoomy himself!

I worked with little speedlights a lot lately, as it's easy, light and fast to work with and there's no spaghetti of annoying cables on the ground everywhere. But the lack of power is a problem when I have to compete with the sun. So I tried the big 220 volt mono-blocks again. Have to say it looks really better because of the bigger softboxes and incredible power (check the light / shades on the front tyre, for example), it's more work, though. But this bike is worth the effort, don't you think? Thanks Ric for the great day!!

Behind the scenes...

... of shooting the toughest bike ever!

By the way, stole these pics of Robbie's blog, he's building the coolest bikes on the planet. Check that out!

Bigtwin april

Next issue of Bigtwin magazine will be spot-on! Colleague photographers contributed some cool bikes (check te Bigtwin site) and there are some nice feature-bikes from Yours Truly too. The AMD World Championship-winning V-rod, Project Veon is featured! It doesn’t only look great, it’s state-of-the-art technique too! And another super-cool bike is the Ducati Tracker of Robert. One of the best bikes I’ve shot in 2010. Suzuki’s biggest bike is the Intruder 1800, on which we did a road-test. Last but not least theirs is Ron’s Harley, which was build by South-East Motorcycles. Got to have this issue!!

Making Off V-max photo-shoot

Found this cool video on Youtube, which was made by Rene of Perfect Dream Bikes, while shooting his Valvoline V-max for Streetfighters magazine.
