Amsterdam opens its first shop for the vintage and custom motorcycle enthusiast.
The Rusty Gold Motor Shop.
At least, if it's up to Zoran Holtkamp. He started a crowdfunding today to make this dream come true ...
The custom bike scene is growing according to Zoran and at the Rusty Gold Swap & Meet (his annual flea market for motorcycle enthusiasts) he noticed that there is a huge demand for beautiful motorcycle gear. From special parts, old parts to art, to beautiful clothing that completes the picture of a vintage or custom motorcycle and its rider.
"All very difficult to find," says Zoran. “The Swap + Meet is only once a year. So that's why I decided to build a permanent place in the city where you can go all year for the most beautiful and hard-to-find motorcycle gear. New and vintage ”. "The Rusty Gold Motor Shop".
The voice over in his campaign (Theo Wesselo) video asks him if that is all he is going to sell in the shop. "No, certainly not." Answer Zoran firmly. "It must also be a place where you as a motorcycle enthusiast can drink a good cup of coffee."
With the crowdfunding on Indiegogo he tries to reach the Amsterdam motorcyclist. And there are a lot of very original investments ready to help him financially. From a custom Rusty Gold coffee mug, to a photo shoot with you and your motorcycle.
“Of course I already saved some money, but I hope to get the last bit of money this way. I would much rather do that with my direct target group than with the bank. And of course it is a nice way to get some fame for the shop. ”
He wants to open in September. The campaign on Indiegogo runs 30 days. So be quick to get hold of one of his original perks, but watch at least his funny video.
