Bottrop Kustom Kulture | Germany | June 2011

Yesterday and Friday we visited the Bottrop Kustom Kulture event in Germany.. Unfortunately the rain showed up after 3 months of dryness... It didn't stop most of the enthusiasts and a bunch of great cars & bikes showed up. I didn't take too many pics since there were too many people to talk too, and too little time. We met some old and new friends and before we knew it, it was time to drive back home again. Anyways, it was good to see all you guys again: Kutty Noteboom, Nicke Svensson, the Flake Kings, Outcast Rudy, Dean Micetich, Laurent Bagnard. Also, it was great to meet Jeremiah from Love Cycles and photographer Adam Wright. I bumped into him on stage while shooting Duane Peters & the U.S. Bombs. What a coincidence. He asked me to come by when I was in the Nor Cal area a couple times in the past, but I never made it so far. Now I met him here, an hour from home. A weird situation because at first we couldn't even talk to eachother because of Duane's noise, and he recognized me because I had a DutchmanPhotos sticker on my lens...

My favorite Love Cycles creation..

Jokers' Peter Long Hair...

Nick Svensson made the trip all the way from Stockholm, together with the Jokers. Nick lead the way on his UL sidehack, with Adam Wright as his co-pilot.
