History



My name is Theo Louwes.
I live in the North of Holland, about 30 km from the circuit Assen.
I started racing and business in 1956.

My first bike was an Norton Manx 350cc in 1962.

The first year I became Dutch Champion was in 1964.

The second time I became the best in the Netherlands was in 1968 and I've been six times second best with the Aermacchi 350cc and the Norton Manx 500cc.

In 1969 I started international races on the Yamaha TR-2 and Norton Manx 500cc. With most successes in Le Mans.

In 1970 the Fanclub Louwes bought a Kawasaki H1R 3-cylinder 500cc, we were competitive, but the motorbike was not always stable and left us often with engine problems.

With ups and downs and good memories I finished my racing career in 1974. I decided to spend more time on my business.

In the year 1983 I had a comeback on the Suzuki RG500-3 500cc and I became Dutch champion once more in the same year.

Received invitations for International races again, and started in 1984 on the Suzuki RG500-6, mostly races in Asia.

In 1986 started racing on Suzuki RGB MK8 BAKKER Frame.

1988/89 racing with former ex-world champion Franco Uncini engine XR45

Finished my career again, last race on the 10th of december 1989, Jakarta Indonesia.
