Just thought I’d pop this in afer tripping across it today and staring at it slack jawed as it played.
While we’re discussing alternative energy….
….what about this one? Came across this bike on an oldtimer show in Belgium, completely hand built around a Volkswagen diesel engine. Tons of torque, great fuel economy, super reliability, why not? Well, how about a lousy soundtrack, heavy weight, and ugly engine…. Still, I really like the craftsmanship and creativity that went into this bike.

Yamaha RD350 LC by Jason from Germany
Jason sent in his RD 350 scrambler some time ago. Nice to see a 2-stroke as a basis! Looks like loads of fun to drive. Thanks Jason!
Suzuki DR750- Urban Moto
Volker Schmidt lost 40 kilos (88 pounds) and so can you! Starting with a Suzuki Dr650, Volker Schmidt began removing everything not essential and using lightened versions of essential pieces. Power was increased with the addition of a 750cc engine and a Devil exhaust. Handling was improved with the help of Wilbers springs cushioning 17-inch rims. A steel-braided brake lines and a wavy rotor improve braking feedback and a cafe style seat means being able to handle the engine vibration feedback for many miles.
Volker’s bike lost 40 kilos on the remove-what-you-don’t-need-and-replace-what you-can-afford-to-diet and all he gained was jealous stares from his Wiesbaden, Germany neighbors. Lose weight, don’t wait.

Hang in there Steve, we’ll help you out! Introducing myself as one of the guest bloggers
Ha, my moment of fame! It’s a great honor for me to be a guest blogger for MPOTD. So who am I? Well, I am still trying to find that out, but I’ll share some facts; the name is Ton Stam, 38 years old, and I live in the beautiful Netherlands. I have built a couple of custom bikes, ranging from streetfighters to scramblers. Nowadays I have a weakness for customized oldies, but I still LOVE modern bikes that have been changed into something more personal.
Now for some hardware, this is my home-built Wrenchmonkees-inspired (can you tell 🙂 ) Z750 Twin, which I sold this summer to make room for some new projects. Was (and still is hopefully) a blast to ride! The action pics were taken by Michiel de Molenaar of shedbuiltbikes.com, thanks again Michiel!
Looking forward to share loads of nice rides, so keep ‘m coming!!
