When I was 17 years old, I was infected with the virus Harley. There was a group of Harleys passing through my village. I found this very powerful. A few years later from when I thought I could afford it, I have bought a FLH Electra Glide 1200 from 1977. At the moment I picked up the Shovelhead had to run by spraying a highly flammable spray in the carburetor. The people surrounding me said I was mad that I bought an old bike for so much money while it was not even able to start.
After riding for about three months on the standard Electra I visited Manitoe in Rijen (The Netherlands). Here I was infected with the customizing of motorcycles. I changed my Harley in the DIY area. New fenders, a home made set of forward controls, a fool wide handlebars (120cm) and fitted the engine with the necessary powdercoating and new paint (green Grolsch in matt finish).
This was in 1997 and again a long time ago. Since then I have trained myself in CNC-turning/milling, 3D CAD CAM programmer and designer. I worked for very reputable companies, but my passion is really in motorcycles, the driving, repairing, making of parts and contact with people with an idea to convert them into a product that they are more than satisfied
If I can serve you, please let me know.
