Yesterday evening, prior to the Ride in Choppernight, our brothers in Almere made sure that everything was okay before the party started.
On June the 2nd a second ride in choppernight will be organised. Make sure to be there to and win the prize of free drinks. We’ll keep you posted..
This day, May 5th, everybody in Holland celebrates ‘Liberation day’ and what better way to celebrate it if you don’t have to pay for your own drinks.
There’s only one catch, your chopper has to be the best and if not, you still have a great party with like-minded chopper riders.
It took some time, but finally we now have solar panels installed at our clubhouse. We use a lot of current 24/7 the whole year. We hope to lower the costs of our energy bill. That would be a huge relief and it can have a positive effect on our contribution we have to pay each year.
Stop picking your nose for a while, or whatever you do at the moment and spot the ‘R’
This discussion was still going on in the 1970s. Nowadays this is no longer the case. Anyway, at the time this could ruin many party.
And as stated in the June 1972 edition of Easyriders magazine, both systems must in any case be properly adjusted.
Below is the article in question that discussed the correct adjustment of drum brakes. For those who still have access to an chopper/motorbike with drum brake[s] can learn something from this, if they didn’t already know this.
In the August 1978 issue of Easyriders Magazine number 62 there was this Sportster chopper build by Jammer. Jammer was one of the ‘main’ suppliers of chopperparts those days. Jammer’s Handbook was a sort of chopper parts bible back then. Their first issue appeared in 1973. I started buying them since number eight, 1980.
In 2019 I posted more about the history of Jammer cycle parts. The Sportster below is a very neat ‘machine’. But if you have that many parts to choose from and if you choose well of course, the result will be something like you see below.

Ok, this was the tenth issue of Easyriders Magazine printed. The cartoon below suggested a torn page, but it ain’t. Look at some of the datails in the page below. That’s what I call master art on a few inches. Over 50 year old biker humor.
What more to say?
Each year we celebrate our kings birthday. And as always he, Willem-Alexander, visits our clubhouse to raise a glass. Well, it would be nice of course…
Long live the king!
