on the road

That's where rods & kustoms should be. Like these pictures of real drivers on the road to and from Bottrop. Driving to and from an event is always at least as much fun as the show itself. Listen to the 'Kings: even if there is no show to go to, just drive!
In fact, there's still time before we upload the bike pictures taken in Bottrop, you can go right now!

Bottrop; four wheels

Just an impression of the four wheeled vehicles roaming the Bottrop event field.
We're saving the two wheeled terrors for the next episode, so stick with us here...

Bottrop Kustom Kulture

In a few hours we'll be driving off to the Bottrop Kustom Kulture event in Germany. It's always nice to see so many rods, kustoms, bikes, artwork, friends and merchandise in one place. As usual there will also be a 1/8 mile flag start dragrace (it will be nice weather so nu excuses this time). Dice Magazine will be hosting the bike show for the first time there, which is a big plus. And as an added bonus, the incredible German cuisine; looking forward to those pork sandwich thingies!

No Paypal, no problem!

Most of the reactions we get are questions if some sort of payment method other than Paypal is possible. Sure, not a problem!
Just drop us a line at our email address, stating what you'd want to have and how you want to pay and we'll get to it right away. Bank transfer, cash-in-envelope (not recommended but possible) or cash in person (we'll be visiting a lot of European shows too). Or tie it to your pigeon and have it fly to us and we'll send it back with a backpack full of merch...

Merchandise

Thanks a bunch for the overwhelming reactions on our shirts! Last couple of days we've been busier with the merch than with our actual projects.
They're selling quicker than we could ever imagine. The girlies for instance are almost sold out.
Next time when we order shirts, as we had to turn down some requests unfortunately, we'll also have XXL made.
We have some other stuff planned first though, so stay tuned!

Flake Grips

We have a bunch of vintage Gran Turismo metalflake grips for sale. Will fit 22mm handlebars, in silver and blue only. Grips are $25.00 or €20,00 for a set. Contact toptattoodesignarea@live.com for shipping info. These babies have real vintage sparkle, not a cheap reissue!

ready for paint

The frame for the Weslake powered bike is almost ready for paint.
Don't you just love the look of that solder after having blasted off the old paintjob!
This will be the project most likely to be finished first, and it will rule!
