First of all: if you want to contact me, mail me at otto@cbx-inox.com.
My name is Otto Nijs and I live in a town near Nijmegen, Holland. I teach Multimedia at the Arnhem Academy of Art and Design. I've been riding bikes since 1993; I started out with a Suzuki GS 750, after that came an original red CBX (A-type) which I rode for a period of five years, followed by a Suzuki DR800 one cylinder. My hobbies are building bikes, kickboxing, running and designing stuff.
My looks without a helmet? Just point at the picture...

From February 2002 to June 2011 I rode this Suzuki GSX-R 1100, the bike of which I used fork and wheels for the CBX INOX. It was my daily means of transport, in summer and winter.

 

May 2011: back to basic. From 155bhp to 50bhp, from 1100cc to 800cc, from four to one cylinder, from a 1994 bike to a 1990 bike. Quite weird to take so many steps back but the loss of power is well compensated with this bike's huge fun-factor: speed bumps, winding roads and sandy trails are a blast with this matt black Suzuki DR800.

(please stop mailing me about the grey protective rail; I already painted it matt black)

September 2002 I initiated a new project. A bike based on a Chevy 5.7L V8 engine, and there are some turbos and nitrous oxide involved. And no, this bike's not gonna look like a Boss Hoss ;-)
