Yamaha Virago XV 535 with licence plate MS-42-NV

bubble mail:

"Beste Lennard,
via het Puchforum heb ik je e-mailadres gekregen naar aanleiding van het volgende verhaal:
Ik ben op zoek naar de oude motor van m'n vader, die we na zijn overlijden helaas moesten verkopen. Het gaat om een (destijds rode) Yamaha Virago XV 535 met kenteken MS-42-NV. Volgens het RDW rijdt hij nog op de weg, maar van hun krijg ik natuurlijk geen naam van de eigenaar.
Ik hoop dat je iets voor me kan betekenen.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Daniël Ploeger"

Flat Track training from the Dutch-Brothers at MCS HOF - part 6

My last Flat Track pictures from Saturday at MCS Hof organized by Dirk Pieper and the Dutch-Brothers. I bought a Liverpool Pirates bib some time ago and this seemed the perfect day to ride with it, ha! It was nice to feel that I picked up a thing or two about riding on the oval during the day and in the last session I was getting more and more confident on the track. As you can see I need to buy a race suit. The only leathers pants I have is a little bit small, haha.

That's Dirk Pieper, our hero of the day, in the first picture.

Two times before I've been riding on a modern 2 stroke KTM on a dirt track, just a couple of rounds. That's all the "race" experience that I had so far so for me it was a dream come true to have the opportunity to ride on a race track all day long.

It's veeeeery hard to capture our amazing speed on photo's :)
I felt like I was going crazy fast but when I look the pictures it shows I was riding like a snail...
I'm the dude with the Shark Brazil helmet. I don't have a racing suit so I was wearing a leather pants that was to small, and a leather jacket without proper protection so I'll need to invest in a better race suit next time. But the good news is that nobody crashed during the day!
