Kawasaki W650 Aluminium Tank

I don't like routine and monotony; I think it's poison for the soul. For me, a day without working on a project or following my passions is a wasted day.

In line with this sentiment, I always try to find ways to improve the shop and expand on the variety of parts I offer for sale.

Today, I'd like to introduce a new member of the family, so to speak...the Kawasaki W650 aluminium tank.

This tank follows the original shape of the W650 tank and comes in 2 versions:

• with the original brackets for the rubber tank pads
• smooth, without the brackets

The aluminium is 2.5mm thick and the tank's capacity is about 15liters. The tank comes with a petcock and a lockable lid with 2 keys.
All our tanks have been pressure-tested with about 3bar and are carefully packed to withstand international transit.

Other tank styles from the Yamaha SR line-up, can also be made for the W650. Please drop me an email and we'll try to work something out.

The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride 2013 - THAILAND

The most distinguished ride of the year is now in the books. With over 35 countries and more than 145 cities worldwide, the DGR managed to raise over 200.000$ for charity. That's no small feat, considering that this event is only at its second year.

I've been enthusiastic about it from the start and this year 35 people joined me here in Thailand. We had 2 groups participating: one from Pattaya and another from Bangkok. Both groups met halfway in Bang Saen, a little beach town in Chonburi province.

The Bangkok group got soaked on the way down, but luckily the weather in Bang Saen was great. Actually, it was pretty hot...I even got a sunburn on my bald head!

It was great to meet some very fine and like-minded gentlemen and gentle ladies from Thailand, Russia, England and Australia.
We had some cool prizes for the most distinguished riders, including Addiction t-shirts, Omega toolrolls, and of course t-shirts from Elders Helmets, who was so generous to give away a very cool Daytona helmet.


Thank you all for participating and donating for the good cause and hope to see you again next year!

Mr. Igor, the lucky winner of an Elders Helmet!

Gents just arrived from Bangkok, where they got pretty soaked.

 While we were having lunch, a newly wed couple came to take their wedding pictures. They didn't come on bikes, but they sure as hell knew the dress code!
