Motorcycle Rescue

History

In Jack’s early years he was hooked on two 2 things, these where airplanes and classic Harley– Davidsons.

So Jack found a way to combine both ways . He became a aircraft mechanic in the Royal Netherlands Air force, working  for 24 years on military jet aircraft like;  NF- 5 Northrop; F-104 Starfighter and the  F- 16  fighting Falcon.

And in the evening he worked in his shed on building and restoring Harleys.
