COTY FBI 2012
This year we have COTY ON THE ROAD the INTERACTION SELECTION .So your bicycle have to do a cruise. Everybody gets a coty card with on the backside first, second and third place. And you must fill in the personal name of the person. So you must introduce yourself to the person and ask his name and perhaps something about his bicycle. So there is more interaction between the people, and you have a conversation with a person you never would speak to perhaps. On the Saturday we get your card back and on the end of the day at the Vliegenbos the Chopperdome have some nice things for first, second and third place winners. So everybody is in the COTY and can join the COTY.

| "This machine is truly one of a kind." (JB) | "“El Rey” is one of the best examples of progressive bike design that I have seen in a quite a while, and I can say that without hesitation." (JB) | "Quality components, gearing and a -take no prisoners- attitude in demanding the best, makes this bike one of the top contenders of 2011." (JB) |
"I think most people would agree that if we looked for the best in what 3 wheeled design had to offer, then “Minx” would gratify the desire." (JB) |
"Dyketracker, hints at future trends and possibilities. Aspects of appearance and function combine to make a beautiful and positive statement. Enjoy its message, and view it as a change in attitude – it is a stepping stone to greater possibilities." (JB) |
Merry Choppin and Happy Cruisin
