Netherlands/Belgium - motorcycle related what to see?
« on: June 23, 2024, 02:45:08 PM »
Heading to Netherlands (Amsterdam/Hague) and Belgium (Bruge/Ghent) next week (June 28 - Jul 13th) and looking for motorcycle shops (clothing) or possible rentals or just to meet up with any SOHC enthusiasts. Last time I was there was 2003 on our 3-week European trip riding the K4 CB750 through most of Western Europe. In days long gone by also attended the WER (Western European Ride: 1998/1999) where I met amongst others, the late Axl (Satanic Mechanic), Rene, Johnny etc. Good times!

thanks
Andy

You need to hook up with Deltarider and pick his brain so you can help us understand him!

Safe travels....

Yes Chromeburner is on my list as I have bought a few things from them in the past. Yes I miss Axl a lot he was such a great guy.
