Bigtwin, july issue

Great, there are some cool contributions to the next Bigtwin issue! Teun's Royal Air Force softail
is featured, which we photographed early this year. The Soul of Pagan by Joakim & Esko from Finland is published too. We shot their weird trike(ish) creation at the Bigtwin Bikeshow in Rosmalen. Then we have the El Bruto custombike by R.Y.P. And last but not least, the famous El Chupacabra Honda by Mr. Metalshaper! One of the coolest bikes in these low lands. Some other great features of my collaeges are published too, so go and check that out!

Skull Customs

A cool photo location, a cool bike and a bunch of super-cool people, what more do we want? We went to the Belgium village Doel, today, which happened to be totally abandoned. A nucleair power plant (really !!!) was the nicest back-drop ever, for this racy highneck of Skull Customs: two private builders from Belgium. It's a classy Ultima powered choppa' with a single downtube softail frame.














The flashes didn't need battery's today as they were powered by the radiation in the sky.













Then we tried some other locations. A trashed building...













And a abandoned fuel station...

Proud to be loud

It was cold, wet and grey today, but we succeeded making some pretty nice shots of Remco's custombike, though. He made the bike himself in a little garage. The paintwork, frame modifications, plate-work etc. is all done by this guy from Limburg. Thanks for the nice day Remco!

Beware for the sickboyz

Gary & Wade, a.k.a. the Sickboyz, came from England to the Bigtwin Bikeshow with this Besame El Culo, which means something like 'Kiss My Arse'. The bike features tons of cool details and so it was good for a trophee! It's a Ultima 'Shovelhead-style' engine, btw.

Bigtwin magazine May

Yes, the website of Bigtwin Magazine is updated! This are some photoshoots of last year, now featured in Benelux' best magazine.














Edwin's Intruder custom/streetfighter














My friends Manon & Ortwin and their Virago Choppers














And the Ultima El Bruto chopper of Don!

Ultima bobber

Most bobbers are based on old Harley V-twins. But Don from Amersfoort had other ideas! A slim-looking bobber with much horse-power was his whish and so he made this rigid Ultima-based old skool chopper!

Used two strobes to under expose the windowns at the background and fill the shades in Don's face)

woe-hoe!!!!

Next saturday the new Bigtwin magazine will drop in the mail-box... It's a good one (and not only because there's lots of stuff from me in it!) More about the new Bigtwin magazine at http://www.bigtwin.nl/


Guess who did the cover photo? Playing around with all those heavy lights and batteries finally starts having result :-)


















Part 1 of my project 1Off, a 'how-to' about the paintwork by KustomBart. Cool or cool?! As I speak, he's working on a new paint-cabin, by the way...










The Ultima 'El Bruto' by Motley Choppers. The've got a new website!










Eelco's 14 Cycles TwinCam (can't wait to see the whole feature as there were plenty of dead-cool photo's of that photoshoot... The location was excellent!)










Danny's Savage, also shot with studio lights

The Belgian xs400 rat rod chopper, the action shot looks cool, huh?

And, of course, the Triumph Young Skool, made by the 18 year young El Renne!!!!

El Bruto

Not only I shoot down-to-earth oil-leaking grassroots choppers, as this time I visited Motley Choppers to cover this El Bruto with a big Ultima V-twin. It sounds like it looks... yeah!!!
