Harry's HD Flathead/Matchless Racing project...

2011-03-13T18:57:00.000-07:00

I met Harry a couple of years back, on the Dutch/Belgian GarageManiacs Forum, eversince then we run into eachother at parties, shows and rideouts, but we never really visited eachother's garages, untill recently Harry dropped by and we agreed I would visit him soon to check out his great new bikeproject...
Up to now I didn't manage to go yet, but sure hope to do so asap
This one's gonna run the Bonneville Saltlake once finished so keep you eye out for more and of course we're gonna try to follow up on this cool bike in Motorized!

here's some sneak previews of what Harry's cooking up!!!

2011-03-13T18:11:00.000-07:00

Gary is a UK based photographer who's spending a lot of time on the Road with the troupe surrounding Ken Fox and his Wall of Death.
Only a few people left worldwide who keep this wonderfull tradition in motorcycling alve and Gary has provided us with a superb portfolio to run in the next issue of Motorized! make sure you don't miss it!
for now, there's more to see on Gary's blog, in the end the pictures will all nicely add up to tell the true story of these Daredevils in a great book.

Was great meeting...

Jeff Decker in Verona earlier this year...
Super nice guy and amazing work...in Verona he showed a (small) part of his Vintage MC jacket collection, sure is a feast for the eye, as were the small bronze sculptures the man brought.

Last year, Jeff published the limited edition Hells Union photobook showing his jacket collection.
Needles to say the books already sold out.

Checkout more of Jeff's artwork and allround cool stuff on his website or blog

Can you Dig it?

2011-03-01T18:32:00.000-08:00

Last summer in Jesolo, I met Filippo, member of the Hamsters, he had with him his Digger build by Arlen Ness.
So we did a photoshoot and I considered myself pretty lucky to be able to shoot an original Ness build early seventies digger.
Last Januari at the Verona bikeshow, we met Filippo again and this time he introduced us to Francesco, fellow Hamsters member and owner of yet another Ness build digger, and guess what...the bike was at the expo too, so another shoot was done...and to add to my happiness about this shoot, we were joined by Arlen Ness himself to make some portraits...I couldn't believe my luck ...both bikes will appear side by side in the next issue of Motorized!

Still Alive

2011-03-01T03:55:00.000-08:00

Been awhile since any new posts appeared on this page, but we're still here...
I guess it's about time to provide you all with some fresh eyekandy, so check back every now & and then to see what's up.
First trip for this year has already been done...End of Januari, the Verona bikeshow in Italy, way too much cool stuff to check out, 3 days of show is hardly enough to see all there is to see, ranging from stock bikes to full on choppers, Verona has quite a lot to offer for everybody.
On top of that it's a show wich attracts people from all over the world so it became big fun from the moment we arrived untill we went back home.

hope you enjoy the slection of good stuff we got here for you.

2010-11-26T18:10:00.000-08:00

Another awesome Chopper build by one of my bikebuilding Heroes, Danny Franssen from Belgium.
This bike was inspired by a chopper build by Denver's Choppers somewhere mid seventies.
Danny put the Street Choppers magazine feature about this bike on his wall as a 15 year old kid, and quite some years later decides to build a bike with the original Denver's Chopper well in mind.
More about this bike and Danny in the next issue of Motorized! for now, this one shot (guess there will be more to found on the web in some time)
If you haven't heard about Danny or don't know about his bikes...check out this great thread on the Jockey Journal

Motorized...Issue 2...Contents

2009-11-13T04:04:00.001-08:00

Motorized....the lowdown...

2009-11-13T03:43:00.000-08:00

We'll guess it's about time to put some more news on these pages...

Eversince the release of Motorized! the Premier Issue last April things got quite hectic overhere...
We've been traveling all over Europe this summer to promote the magazine and shoot stuff for the upcoming editions.

Gotta say Thanx a million times to each and everyone who has supported Motorized! from the start...all the people buying the mag, all you builders, shops, carclubs, eventorganizers and not to forget all other magazines who took the effort to help spreading the word about Motorized!
Thanx Bigtime to you all for your support.

The past year proved not to be the ideal moment to launch a new magazine, especially not one that's more expensive then most other mags...but still thanx to you all we managed to pull it of.

Now the new issue is here, due to several reasons, a bit later then expected, but we are very pleased to bring you yet another magazine filled with some amazing rides we shot during one of our many roadtrips last summer.
We sure hope you enjoy going though Motorized! 2 as much as we enjoyed making it.

Due to some bad calculations of my part and the bad financial times we're in these days we had to increase the price of this magazine from 10 to 12 euro, but we intend to make up for that by bringing the highest possible quality for the mag.

Spending as much time on the road as we did the last half year also resulted in very little news and updates on these pages...well what can we say...gonna try to put out some more stuff on a regular basis in the future...so keep checking these pages.

For the future of the magazine...it will be a quarterly published thing, so 3 issues a year will be coming your way, subscriptions are not possible for now...we'll see how everything turns out in a couple of issues...so for now only single issue sales.

Sure hope you enjoy the new issue and hope to meet you all soon somewhere down the road.

Sven aka El Cheapo

Motorized! Summer09 Update

2009-08-02T15:38:00.000-07:00

Hi y'all....
Been quite a while since we posted some news here,
we'll at this moment we're having a 2 week break from traveling all over Europe to promote the magazine so finally some time to sort out all the pics, stories and more and post some of it here.

First of all we need to say big Thanx to all of you who bought the Premier Issue...thanx a lot for your support!
At this time we're working as hard as we can to get the second Issue to you. Contents are 90% complete but we will not make it by the time we first intended. September was our goal but due to several reasons Motorized 2 will not be ready by then. Before the end of the year however a brandnew Motorized will hit the streets, just in time to get some holidaypresents.

The reactions on the Premier Issue are great so we're highly motivated to top it with some amazing rides...keep your eyes on this blog to check out the latest news.

Also expect some more updates here the following weeks to show you some of the amazing stuff we encounter while driving throughout Europe to visit shows, meetings and friends.

Thanx for supporting Motorized! See you somewhere down the road!

Project XS

2009-01-22T16:21:00.001-08:00

You've probably seen the copper gastank a few post earlier...
well here's the complete story (at least this part of it) about the bike...
Kenny, longtime racing addict is building his version of an oldstyle bobber,
and what's more...He's building it to make a 5000km trip to Portugal in Mai,
from Belgium to Portugal and back in 1 (!!!) week, on 2 XS 650 hardtails...
Now how 'bout that for a maiden voyage!
Kenny hits the road with one of his best mates Julio to visit some of Julio's family.

Pretty curious how this trip goes, meanwhile the guys are working hard to get the bikes finished
for the long run.

Last week we visited Kenny in his workshop and while Nico and Kenny talked some serious engine techstuff (wich I donno shit about!) I took out my phonecam (yup...phonecam, try to get as low profile as possible these days :-) to shoot some neat stuff in the shed.

Of course we go back for more! Stay Tuned!
also more on the build on the Guzzmen Deluxe site...Nico is one of the friends helping Kenny out with the build.
