Johan Verdonkschot - the Mechanic
On April 1, 2016, I started my own company, VMS, with great enthusiasm. For six years, I worked for myself, doing what I love most: motorcycles. But over time, my passion for classic bikes, and especially 2-stroke machines, kept growing stronger.
So on April 1, 2022, I decided to take the next step. Since then, I have been working alongside Wiljan Feijen at VintageMotorcycles.nl. Our shared love for classic motorcycles brought us together, and now we spend our days finding, restoring, and preparing some of the most beautiful classic bikes.
Although I work with all types of motorcycles, 2-strokes remain my personal favorite. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience as a mechanic, ensuring these machines are brought back to top condition. I also have an eye for rare and special 2-strokes—I often manage to track down models that are hard to find. But my work isn’t limited to just 2-strokes; whether it’s a full restoration, a complete rebuild, or just maintenance, I make sure every bike runs as it should.
Together with the team at VintageMotorcycles.nl, I work daily on keeping these legendary machines alive. Whether you’re looking for a unique 2-stroke, another stunning classic, or just some good advice—you’re always welcome! 🏍🔥
