Another big European show/expo, this one in the heart of the Netherlands, with 2 full halls of custom bikes and everything about the lifestyle, held during 3 days last weekend Nov. 7-9 at the former Autotron Museum of Rosmalen. 90 bikes competed in a bike show organized by Bigtwin Magazine and I will feature some of the best during the coming months. Waiting for it, a few postcards from the event. (all photography @ H. Roesler for Cyril Huze)
Eeesh ! Is it just me or does it seem to others that perhaps those Dutch are .. err … ‘ enjoying ‘ a bit too much of those …. hmmmn … errr….. ________ in the Netherlands ? Cause in my opinion …. most of this stuff is just plain downright …. weird !

Say what you want about the Dutch. At least they haven’t fallen for the Big Wheel Bagger craze. I thoroughly enjoyed my two trips to the Netherlands. I assume you were referring to the coffeeshops.
Nice to see something totally fresh in custom design ideas…all the stuff over here is looking like it’s out of the same catalog with different paint jobs…
SD – ” fallen for the big wheel bagger craze ” Agreed ! “…. referring to the Coffee shops ” ? Yes … that and much more potent ! The Dutch in general ? The wife is one .. so … but that still doesn’t excuse the Dr Tim induced weird and ludicrous customs at this show … at least not in my opinion 😉
Looks like “big Twin” is a bit of a misnomer for this show — looks like a bit of everything there. I guess a parallel twin counts except the displacement might be a bit small to be considered big. Not sure I care for the bearded guys riding position with his knees in his chest — probably ok to get to the next coffee shop. Agree with no Big Wheels.
HD Rifer. It’s called the Bigtwin Expo because it’s organized by european Bigtwin magazine.
I really tried to find something of interest about these bikes besides the hirsute contortionist.
Alas, no other highlights.
