Our latest custom motorcycle – BMW R65
Madame and Monsieur, we present you the newest custom motorcycle from 7seven customs house.
The base was a BMW R65 with 14.000 kilometers on the clock, parts that we disassemble were almost like new, all other parts, that were showing 30+ year old bike, have been restored, painted or newly made, made and designed in house.
It must be said that this is a motorcycle brought to the conversion by the customer and rebuilt according to their wishes. The implementation itself was in our hands. We are very pleased with the look, also the customer is. This is the beauty of our job. At the end we are all happy!

Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride
2020 SOLO RIDE
Ljubljana, nedelja, 27. september
V Sloveniji zboli za rakom vsako leto več kot 7.000 moških. Možnost obolenja se s starostjo veča, najpogostejše mesto raka moških v Sloveniji pa je ravno na prostati, še pravijo podatki Registra raka Republike Slovenije.
Vsakoletni, sedaj že tradicionalni dogodek – Destinguished Gentleman’s ride ali poslovenjeno uglajena gosposka vožnja, kjer so motoristi, moški in ženske v uglajenih oblekah in z določenimi motocikli, je letos minil v prilagojeni, drugačni obliki. Kot vse v letošnjem letu, zaradi zdravstvenih razmer in priporočil proti širjenju koronavirusa. Tako so sicer druženje pred in po vožnji ter skupno vodeno vožnjo po mestu Ljubljana in njeni okolici, spremenili v samostojno vožnjo brez zaključnega druženja ravno z naslovom skrbi za zdravje. Kljub temu se nas je peščica srečala v centru Ljubljane in del poti odpeljala skupaj, na dobre stare čase.
Dobrodelni motoristi in motoristke, ki jih združuje enaka miselnost, se zberejo na isti dan po celem svetu. Dobrodelno noto udeleženci nakazujejo z zbranimi donacijami za raziskave rakave bolezni, ki jih prejmejo temu namenjene ustanove in teh je za več kot 5 milijonov dolarjev letno.
Ustanovni organizatorji dogodka DGR, iz Avstralije, pa so že sporočili, da bodo dogodek iz dosedajšnje zadnje nedelje v septembru premaknili na zadnjo nedeljo v maju. Tako bo naslednji dogodek uglajenih voznikov na motorjih od letos naprej pred poletjem, zato vas lepo vabimo, da si v koledarjih zadnjo majsko nedeljo že označite in se nam pridružite ali sodelujete kot gledalec.

Scrambler TransAlp XL700
2009 Honda transalp XL700 scrambler
So this is Transalp XL700, owner said, i don’t want to ride a stock bike, everybody is joking about this bike, so i want something different! At first we had good idea how the bike should looked, but owner said, no it’s too much, he wanted softer version and that’s it. Still kind a hard and raw version of transalp at the same time. We love it!
DGR 2020 update
Distinguished gentlemans ride Ljubljana 2020 BO! Pa vendar na drugačen način, kot smo bili vajeni do sedaj, Korona je pač pustila posledice, na katere se bomo morali navaditi oziroma prilagoditi.
Ker je DGR dobrodelni event, ki se hkrati odvija po celem svetu, morajo Avstralci (organizator) gledati celo sliko, zato so se odločili, da bo letos DGR v obliki SOLO vožnje.
Svetovno gledano so si zamislili zadevo takole:
– datum dogodka: 27. september 2020
– prijave ostajajo odprte in so obvezne
– zbirajo se donacije
– udeležence spodbujamo, da se oblečejo dogodku primerno
– in se odpravijo na SOLO vožnjo, naredijo selfi, video…
– vsebino se deli na DGR omrežje (obvestilo ob prijavi) in socialna omrežja, uporablja se v naprej določene #
