Seidl Super 100

2013-05-20T21:30:00.003+02:00

Coincidentally this custom Super 100 looks a lot like the Super 100 from Dimitri that was on Rusty Gold this month but this one was build in Nürnberg, Germany by Seidl.

Hand build seat, rearlight, headlight bracket...
It has a adapted Honda C110 Topbridge with the C110 speedometer and a lot of other little details. The wiring is changed and the ignition lock is in the left side cover, the e- starter is removed to lighten the flywheel, 2.5 Frontwheel with Shinko SR 241 Tyres.

shaped extra seat

2013-05-18T18:04:00.001+02:00

Today I finally had the guts to reshape the extra seat I had lying around it with a grinder.
The before shot of the seat is from some years ago because I forgot to take that picture today, ha
I'm glad how it turned out.
I rounded the rear of the seat, took out the hump in the middle and in the front it's shorter and it's looks much lower now. I didn't take any of the top of the seat so it's still the same seat comfort wise.

Still need to change the rear frame, the battery box, headlight, rewire the wheels and powdercoat them, repaint the tank, etc, etc..

Tin Can Customs - BBQ

2013-05-12T12:49:00.000+02:00

These are interesting times for the custom scene in Amsterdam.
Since we organized Rusty Gold last year a lot of cool stuff is happening in Amsterdam.
Numbnut Customs came out of nothing. They recently finished their first two bikes and organized the Numbnut Ride Out #1 the day before Rusty Gold 2013.
An other custom shop opened recently in Amsterdam. Tin Can Customs.
And an other new kid on the block is Cool Kid Custom, stationed at the overtoom in Amsterdam.
(De oplettende kijker had ze al gespot tussen mn foto's van Rusty Gold 2013.)
Rumors are Boy Janssens Pancake Customs will update his facebook page soon.
Dimitri from the Amsterdam based Super Motor Company is working on his 3rd Super Custom, the Dirty Donkey
So yes! Seems like the custom scene in Amsterdam is finally taking off!

The night before Rusty Gold and just after the Numbnut Ride Out #1, Tin Can customs organized a BBQ. Lot's of dudes from the Chopperstyle.nl forum where there with their cool customs.
(Meld je aan bij chopperstyle.nl als je low budget customs maakt. We hebben meer actieve leden nodig. Leuk forum!)

Tin Can was working on a very nice old skool cb750 chopper with an interesting kick stand :)At night we found out that shit happens when your riding on your friends cb750 chopper in the dark with your black bubble visor. It wasn't me :)
But a few beers later it was fixed.
Roel Scheffers was present with his out of this world RS09 Beemer.
Lot's of nice people from chopperstyle.nl came to the bbq from all over the place.
I saw the coolest Goldwing sidecar.
You have to see the radical XS650 with the build in flame thrower with your owne eyes!

Numbnut Motorcycles Ride out #1

2013-05-10T08:56:00.000+02:00

The day before Rusty Gold 2013 Numbnut Motorcycles organized their first Ride-Out.
They started from Westerpark and made a very nice trip along the Amstel with a wide variety of bikes. My Suzuki GR650 town smoker died on me a few hours before the trip so I made the trip on my trusty Super 100. It was great to meet a lot of new bikers from Amsterdam. Looking forward to Numbnuts next ride out! I will post the video soon.

2013-05-09T12:07:00.001+02:00

Rusty Gold 2013 was a HUGE succes!

Thanks Zoran. We did it again. Looking forward to our next Rusty Gold event!
Thanks Cruise-Inn, perfect place, cool crowd, we love you.
Thanks Jimmy for the live action screen printing!
Thanks Kay for borrowing you VW van!
Thank you Manonnie for helping me with my Barn Fresh stuff
Thank you weather gods, just how we like it, sunny and a nice breeze.
Thanks Hot Mama Hot for the good food
Thanks Dalida for your cooking skills
Thanks everyone from motor-forum.nl and chopperstyle.nl that showed up.
Thanks Short-Cut choppers, Kustom Bart, BEAM, Numbnut, Tin-Can customs, Road Rocket, RNO Cycles and all the other builders for showing up.
Thanks for the Vodka guys from Russia!
Thanks everyone for the online promotion
Thanks swappers, sellers, buyers, photographers, visitors and riders

The Sunday Kids where a fashionably two hours late so they played for an almost empty arena, ha!
Thanks anyway guys, you rock :)
More cool bikes than we could have imagined where showing up every hour.
Around 13.00 it was so crowded people started parking their bikes on the the non parking street in front of the Cruise Inn. :)

So what about next year?
We will do it again.
Everey first Sunday of May we will organise Rusty Gold and in 2014 that's on the 4th of May so write it down and tell your friends.

The "MEET"part of the Swap Meet was a huge succes this year.
Now we have to concentrate more on the SWAP or SELL part.
We need more people bringing, swapping and selling Rusty Treasures!
So next time please strap your rusty treasures to your bike or tell your friend with all the good stuff to bring it to the Cruise-Inn in his van. Send it by mail or ask your dad to bring all the parts so you can still ride your bike to the event but make sure there's enough to trade at Rusty Gold :)

We hope to see you next year and thanks everyone for all the positive feedback, the love and the good times.

Cheers,
Lenny and Zoran
