These days I can view old music-videos whenever I like; thanks to YouTube. When I was just a young guy I had to spent a lot of time to visit all the expensive concerts to see some good music. The television networks showed only the commercially attractive pop music in those days.
So nowadays it’s kind of luxury for me to see Nina performing “Naturträne”. 
Only this plate is left from my fathers bicycle. The old frame is thrown away many years ago. It wasn’t possible to repair the old brakes, bearings and forks …… at least not by a simple guy like me. It would be more like a restauration.

Yesterday Marjan took me to a concert in the Stadsschouwburg in Bruges. Maria Farantouri gave a concert in this old theatre.
Unfortunately, she didn’t perform one of her famous songs; therefore it’s in the next video.
O, Antonis !
I’m sure Ruben’s future will be OK. He is gifted with the artistic and honest genes of his parents. He will become famous one day !
But for now; I’m simply glad he gives some colour to our Zeeland. ;-)
A new television-program made by the VPRO. Turkisch and Maroccan based humor ! Starting 23 November.
I think I’ll like it …….
I had a good time watching this debate ! Highly recommended ………..
Yesterday I tried to get home between the rainshowers ………..
They are preparing the natural dunes for sand suppletion to strengthen them and by doing so, building higher and broader artificial dunes.
I hope they planned a comfortable cycling path straight through the dunes !
The blue coloured “anti-flat” stuff came peeping through, so I decided to buy a new set for my front wheels.
They did 10,000 kilometers and since a marathon is 42 km, the “plus” must be standing for about 19,958 kilometers
Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres are made in Indonesia; so must be good stuff, because a lot of relatives live there !
Not a single flat during the 10,000 kilometers ! So I’m satisfied. While I was changing the tyres, I noticed I had to renew a broken spoke. It’s easy to renew a spoke of a Quest. I never had to dismantle the wheel for this job. A year ago I ordered about ten spokes at Velomobiel.nl and I had to renew 4 till now. I think that’s OK……. The front wheels get a lot of force sideways.
During the wear and tear of the tyres, I didn’t adjust the Cateye set-up. So the new tyres with their larger circumference will have a negative effect on my speed ……….. ;-(
It’s that time of the year the colours are changing …….

Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings were in Breda last weekend. We used to call him “the Silent Stone” in the day’s he was playing in the famous band.

A few hours nice and quiet reading, after I found Velovision issue 35 in our mailbox
A few months ago I made the next photo. By accident I found it back on a site of the KNCV !!!!!

No Helmet, Please!
Mike made a beautiful video in which he explains the stupidness of the helmet mandatory in Australia …..
