Sorry if you guys find this non-moto, but I’m too stoked not to share.

Last year I bought this Honda SLR650 from 1999 with very low mileage for a new project:



Slowly but surely got some parts in:






But the final result is what really makes me happy. It ended up being a flat/street tracker with some MX parts on it and it actually really feels like a dirtbike on the road. So much fun!

It may not be exactly moto, but it sure is a beautiful MOTOrcycle and should be here where more of the VBT will see it. Great work! How long did it take you?

Ok, I wanted to hate your bike, especially after the first picture, but it turned out great.
That looks like a fun ride!

The only thing offensive is that you spent your BTC! HODL dude, at least until you can buy a Ducati!

Dude is killing it. Legal weed, hookers and a cool hot rod bike.

I have been there only once but I can say well done.

My sister lived in Amsterdam last summer and I specifically made her get a hat from that shop! Is it a popular place in Amsterdam?

Best shop in the city. Popular in the custom build bikes scene here. Small, but definitely worth a visit
