Old Skool Fantasy bike

Jan was photographed several times before by me. In fact, one of Jan's bikes was my first shoot for Bigtwin magazine! His recent project is this long and low (did I mention LOW?!) Honda chopper with the most extreme lines you can imagine. This is really great! One of the best bikes in the Netherland, if you ask me! (but I guess you won't). More people should build extreme choppers like this, with Japanese fours. 10 out of 10! Just perfect.

Dragon Harley

Finally there was a good weather forecast, so I called Hans from Neede to do the long awaited photo-shoot of his Dragon Harley. This bike is completely one-off, every screw and bolt, yes even the wheels (including hubs and spokes) are made by this friendly guy! It will appear in Bigtwin magazine. Cheers!

Warhippy

I became interested in choppers by reading Dutch Bigtwin magazines, in which Beer (Grizzly) always shows 'how-to reports' of his own chopper projects. It was a flawless, C&L Hogshop-inspired bike, which really blew me away!


I was really surprised to be asked to shoot some pics of his latest (and best!!!) project: the warhippy! Beer built it for Els. It's one-off all the way and it looks like it's a brand-original 70's Panhead chopper. Though it's based on a modern Sportster (!!!) 1200 cc engine and it's got modern brakes and a belt. Paint by Royal Jack, who also did my Own Skool chopper. The Warhippy is soon to be featured!

Strenght In Unity

Strengt in Unity is a section of the Star Riders in Belgium. I shot some of their bikes for a report.

Dragstar

Titte is a patchholder from Belgium. He created this extremely modified Dragstar for Diane. MysticAl did the wicked striping. The best Yamaha Dragstar chopper I've seen so far!

Finished!

Royal Jack Kustom Works finished the paintwork on my ever-mutating Suzuki Own Skool project. Since the headlight and wheels were changed, I wanted the paint to be matt-black (to complete the metamorphosis) as English rat- and survivalbikes were the elementary inspiration for this hardtail chopper. Jacco Reniers had some crazy ideas about mixing matt with glossy. Although the angular and rugged shapes of the fuel tanks were quite a challenge to make a nice composition on, Royal Jack succeeded!

Own Skool (or no skool haha)
