Het verhaal achter deze...
The chief enemy of creativity is a "good sense. - Pablo Picasso
The combination of classic vehicles and art takes on a new dimension.
Stef van der Bijl, an insane artist, designer and childhood friend of Cool Classic Club founder Robbert Buijs.
To get an idea of what else this all-rounder comes up with: https://vanderbyl.nl/ .
This work of art is a thought child of a moment when Stef was walking down the street and saw a curved lantern next to a car crash.
The shape appealed to Steph immensely, and he immediately thought it would be a tank of a motorcycle.
Only 10 years later he found the motorcycle that was to be the basis for this process: a 1980 Harley Davidson Electraglide.
This Harley already had an EVO engine which did not heat up as much as the original Panhead engine.
All in all not only a showcard but also a technical tour de force.
Engine and tank were restored by Beast motorcycles.
Two surgical lights, a horse-drawn saddle, and the expertise of body shop Jansen produced a result that has moved many.
Consequently, the bike has won the same award twice at different events:
- Best Custom Bike Award at the Big Twin Bikeshow.
- Best Custom Bike Award at the Distinquished Gentlemen Ride.
Now the bike is looking for someone new to steal the show on a true work of art.
