A couple of weeks ago I've visited our friends at Wrench Kings and owner Joost Dingemans told me everything about his journey with his workshop and his ambitious future plans. It was great to feel the awesome vibe of a proud guy standing with two feet on the ground (in his own workshop). Of course, … [Read more...] about Honda CB750 Restomod by Wrench Kings

Triumph Bonneville T100 by Droog Moto
Husband/wife Max and Erica of Droog Moto quickly made fame with their custom motorcycles. They’ve opened up their shop last year and delivered a handful of machines with post-apocalyptic looks which are best to be labeled as scramblers. It all started with this Honda CM400. But they don’t focus on … [Read more...] about Triumph Bonneville T100 by Droog Moto
Yamaha DT125 Scrambler by Ranger Korat
Small two strokes have something special. I don't know if it's their sound, their smell, the gas response, or a combination of these factors, but the fact is, that they have a strong attraction (on a lot of us!). The two stroke as an engine is becoming rarer every day, so if I stumble upon a cool … [Read more...] about Yamaha DT125 Scrambler by Ranger Korat

Dirt Track Weapon: Gianpaolo’s Yamaha WR400
While the typical cafe racer had a huge revival this and the past decennium, the biggest hype seems to be over. Almost every customized motorcycle with clip ons got the tag "cafe" and people seem to be a bit tired of the cafe racer (don't get me wrong, I still love them, if done properly). … [Read more...] about Dirt Track Weapon: Gianpaolo’s Yamaha WR400
Bavarian Beauty: BMW R100RT Classic Racer by Wrench Kings
With the ever growing scene of custom motorcycles, I'm proud of everything that's "Made in Holland". I keep in close contact with all builders like Arjan from Ironwood Customs, Wido of Wimoto, Daan of Moto Adonis and of course the Wrench Kings. Last weekend I've paid a visit to the last one. A … [Read more...] about Bavarian Beauty: BMW R100RT Classic Racer by Wrench Kings
