Last weekend we went to a Pearl Jam gig. Brought up some good memories.

Project XS: Summer of test riding


Yeah I know; lack of updates about the XS650. Too busy fixing small problems; carburator settings, frontbrake (had to add an extra caliper for better braking), leaking petcock, things that losend because of the vibration of the bike etc... Last weekend I went to a rally, when I came home I noticed my seat snapped just underneath the seatpan. All these things are fixed now... waiting for the next problem to come up

I have nothing to do with religions
but I like the art that's involved!
This is my first portrait up to date...

Indian Clubs



In search of something new to train with my
mate Steph found an 'Indian club workout'
on AlltimeStrongman. Because these sets are
way to expensive, we gathered some material
and I made these 2 sets within an 1 hour and
a half. At the top there is a bolt you can
unscrew and fill the chamber with lead balls
to add more weight.

Project XS: painted parts




After a lot of grinding and sanding... the 43 parts

Tattoo process: My girl's full sleeve Part 3




Last wednesday we went to Darko

Rough finish






The plan is to take the bike apart, finish some
weldings, do the electrics and paint the
parts with a rattlecan (except for the fender
and tank). After that I'm going to ride it all
summer and make sure that everything is ok...

It's a pitty when everything is coated and nicely
finished and you have to do some welding or
change parts.

When everything is alright after riding it this
summer, I'll take the bike apart again and finish
it properly.
