Hello guys and girls, I'm Yves, I'm 42 and I live in Belgium, will try to write in english so it's good to see the bikestuff and train my english at the same time. I was in the VW-scene for years untill 7 years ago I met my new girlfriend and got 2 kids in 1 day 
So we bought a house that needed some attention and so the cars had to go... no time ... no money for the VW-stuff...
But the feeling of thinking what changes to make, coming up with some own ideas, working on something standing in the garage and taking it out by good weather for some easy cruising was never far away... with a last major work at the house, changing the roof next year there is still no real budget for an other dream of mine a Harley bobber...
When a copple of months ago I wanted to surprise my stepson and bought him a second hand chopper, a blue one with yellow flames, off course he was happy with it... but I had to look after a few things that needed to be replaced and that way I got that bike-chopper feeling and started to spent some time in my garage again.
After hours of surfing on the net I landed up the RRB-site and liked these bikes and the feeling around it so much that I decided to give myself a low budget to get myself a cheap bike and spent some more hours on thinking and working on it.
Over here it's hard to find some "custom minded bikers" so I was very happy to find RRB!!!
Have seen a lot and learned a lot already on the RRB site and want to greet you all.
Some pics.
Bought it like this...
and at the moment came to this...
Further plans... matching the rear wheel to the front one, 3 speed SA wide rear axle and in winter time strip the bike to a bare frame and paint it mat black and put it together again so I can ride it next summer as almost a new bike.
Greetings from Belgium
