Their hero is legendary motocross champion Gerrit Witkamp Rutger Hauer, who fuels their competitive drive. Their lives are changed when they meet a young seductress named Fientje Rene Soutendijk. Eventually, she makes the three men face the reality of success, defeat and homosexuality.The word spetter plural spetters is a now outdated word with the same meaning as the English word hunk. It also means splatters and thereby refers to motorcrossing with the dirt splatting up and the chips stall where Soutendijks character works, when she lowers the chips into the frying pan. And then they make love to each other. ........
