Lots of want at the KTM display.

[dinkel]

KTM had the coolest display. Or didn't it...


Yamaha Love.


Yamaha had a small display - for a big Jap manufacturer - and not much sitting. But boy, these are cool bikes.

Do Ducati's have lost their charm a bit?


Cool Kawa.


Cool Kawa Girl.


What the Ef?

More.

Good to hear, I think Italians are doing well in bikes (Mash looks good). It's a pity they suck at marketing their cars: Lancia lost, Maserati SUV (really?), Alfa Romeo engines (brrrrr) and Ferrari making more money from caps and keycords than with selling cars.

I wonder if Laverda and Benelli could make a come back. Guzzi has a solid niche. Wonderfull stuff.

[dinkel]

Kettle! Golden oldie at the bike show.


Modern Suzuki looking good.


Quite a lot of trail bikes: trendy?


Yeah, let's go to Sweden. And this looks like the bike to take with you.


In the meantime at the Harley Davidson used bike display.


Saddle up!


And why not?


This is more right up my street.

More.

[dinkel]

More Harley:

Oh yes!


Big bikes, big engines.


HD in Military drag.


Phat tires are a trend.

Pretty good effort by my favorite Jap manufacturer Yamaha.


Return of the Indian.

Wow.

[dinkel]

Slim fit old skool V twin chopper.


Loving the retro Jap bikes.


Cool freestyle painting.


Display of tech school efforts.

Cute.


The right girl won!

Dunno. Most MVs had it.

Choppers prove to be a popular theme over here in NL.


Two stroke madness.


Phat rear tire madness.


Classic flames on this one.


Front brakes are for sissies.


More on this award winning Jap powered Custom Bike in the next post.

[dinkel]

Hilarious JAP-powered 20s Custom, built by 2 ambulance drivers.


Customs display.


Steam Punk oddity.


Ow yes - Yamaha good old days.


I learnt that these are called Swedish Choppers - nice.

Next: beers and some music.

[dinkel]

Beers & Music - the ongoing 50s and 60s show:




Fantastic Victory and Indian Display:

Not sure about the colour...


Red is always good. But I prefer the old Indian red. Watercooled 1.8 litre V-twin coolness.


Mmmh, 70s stylee Ducs with modern tech.

[dinkel]

That's it right there - and no suspension.


Phat tires rule.


Jap Yum.


Not much beats a nice big twin.


Tiny Jap stuff, another soft spot.


CB 750F. There was also a CBX but with dreadfull light.

There's more...

[dinkel]

Indian wow.


Trikes. I dunno - Beetle powered and all that - but they sure do attract a lot of folk.


These new bred of HD looks so coll. Great choice of used HD did well.


Retro looks on the Yamaha: IMO a Jap hot street bike can't look any cooler than this.


Naked (Swedish) choppers: badass or what?


Most people had an eye for a used bike. There were lots.


Off road or all terrain? Whatever and I ike it.
