This year, the Koning Zelfbouwdag of Motoport Hengelo had a convincing overall winner: Maarten Poodt.
And Maarten is now a 'manufacturer' instead of a hobbyist. In recent years he has built a motor every year.
He even has a certain style: It must be a Yamaha, sport / sporty model, ex-factory look, and not unimportantly do what he stands for; good steering sporty driving ...
From 1 to 4 cylinder or from streetfighter to sporty touring buffalo. If only it is something that someone else has not yet made. So rebuild a Yamaha XS650? Nothing of that. That has been done a thousand times.
Oh, and for the rest he is putting together seats to help fellow builders .. And he does so perfectionist too….
