Skåne rundt 2011

Here is some photos from” Skåne rundt “2011. I had some problems with my camera so there is only a few that turned out good. Can it be Lucas parts in the camera?

“The machine is dangerous, be careful”

Johan uses a beer can to shim up the fixing on the generator……First he had to taste a few to find the best suitable can…..I think I go and shim up a generator myself….A dirty job but someone have to do it….

What to do when you have summer holiday……..

This summer I managed to lure my family to go to two motorcycle museums, this time in Sweden. I will post some museum bikes now and then.

Always look out for the Swedish locals; some of them jump out in the road.

First stop was Eds MC og Motor museum.

Some interesting racing machines:

1958 Norton Featherbed, Norton M50 crank case, homemade cylinder and a lot of handmade stuff. 350 cc.

Also a `58 Featherbed special. Modified ES2 engine boosted up with Jawa crank and rod.

A Matchless based road racer.

Salty Dollar

I got this link from a friend in US….A French team preparing a Dollar/J.A.P.  for the Salt Flats.  A great idea! So I bought a T shirt to support them. You can do that too, click in:
