Mark, Fat Fred and Luke from our chapter in Almere at the clubhouse in Opmeer. The blue FXR is from Mark and the yellow FXR is from Luke.

As I mentioned last week, today’s the 100th ‘small puzzle’ to spot the Rogues Brotherhood ‘R’ which also can be purchased in our webshop.

This time the picture-puzzle a bit lager in pixel-size, just for the fun of it and because its the hundredth time we’re of the streets for several minutes.

While editing this picture above I couldn’t stop thinking about a Dutch song which children sing during Sint Nicolaas time in Holland and some former colonies. It starts with; ”Sinterklaasje kom maar binnen met je knecht” and ‘knecht’ is in this particular case not the ‘rainbow or black Piet’ where gradually half the world is whining about. Bare that in mind.

For those of you who understand the Dutch language no futher explanation is needed. End for those of you who don’t… here’s a tip; use your imagination… Succes again with spotting the ‘R’. Till next time

Our highly valued member Sloper has a small forge at home with which he forges various objects for and on behalf of our club, such as club gifts.

Recently M&M visited him and while he was there he also showed his skills in blacksmithing.

Below some photos

Last week several guests arrived at our clubhouse. Among them members from Death MF and Deathtraps MC.

From left to right we see Luke, Victor, Hank, Mark, Buddy, Beer, Olly,Bob, Wicky, Snickle and M&M.

And as befits a good host, we don’t leave our guests to fend for themselves. Last Saturday we had a tourist tour on the program including the world famous windmills that provide our country with dry feet for many centuries. Even now they help. Especially during extreme rainfall. Of course there is much more to see, but as with any road trip; you have to make choices.

Making ready to hit the road

Typically Dutch; ‘windmills’.

Back at the clubhouse later in the day time for some beer or whatever. Yank, in the middle, showing how it’s done…

This advert by FuBaR, Anaheim, California can be seen in Easyriders Magazine number 41 from November 1976. It’s a rather ambiguous advertisement, but that didn’t spoil the fun at the time.

I would like it to be seen more like the above than what is being forced on us these days after a dozen committees first consider what is shown and believe that it is unacceptable because of misogyny or that it does not meet gender neutrality.
I understand that there should be a certain restraint, but nowadays almost everything is pushed to the limit and that, in my opinion, is not good for anyone.

Next time it will be the hundredth time we try to find the ‘r’ without being distracted by, for example, the number of gears the bike below may have.

I myself was distracted due to the fact that I could not perceive a bicycle bell….
Yes, yes, Brass, dream on…

Look what I dug up from decades ago. In the center of the photo we see Fonda. Next to him, sitting on the grass, Beer, just like me a club-founder. I don’t know who the other persons are.

Edit; The missing persons are from left to right Maup, Meindert, then Fonda and Beer and the last in blue outfit is, so I’ve been told, Gerard.

And off to the party we’re going to…

Wicky just handed over our club gift to René. Hugo on the left.

A toast on the next five years

Yesterday ChopperheadZ MC Putten celebrated their 5th anniversary. A good opportunity to party together with other invited visitors and with all the members of ChopperheadZ and of course to celebrate them.

Fortunately, the weather was very much in everyone’s favor. For months we have had lousy weather as far as the sun is concerned, but since last week the temperatures are approaching 20 degrees Celsius, in other words, your ‘balls’ shrink less…But that aside.
We had a great time and wish them all the best in achieving the next lustrum.

Wicky, our president, leaving the party.

Some of us stayed longer of course….
