The Motorcycle show.


Last weekend was very busy. I organized the Norwegian vintage motorcycle club`s display at the two yearly motorcycle show near Oslo. Here`s some photos of the display.



It is 150 km from me to the show…..So I better not forget anything.





Can it be……Yes, it`s Steve McQueen`s long lost second cousin….



It seems that café racers are the thing to have this year…

Glad Jul.


I found these photos on the Facebook……I liked them so much that I recycled them. It`s the time to wish you Glad Jul!




Mr. Olsen, on the first photo, and the Fjerdingen family on the second. They are from Stjørdal, Norway on a winter modified Motosacoche.

Recycling.



Some years ago I went to the Manx Grand Prix. As the good husband I am, I bought my wife a present: gold ear jewelry with the three legs of Mann. But surprise, me and my wife have different taste……The gift was left unused in her drawer….
But now I need some bling for a Norton, so late one night I reprocessed the gift…




This will most certainly make the bike go faster, and Isle of Mans motto: "Quocunque Jeceris Stabit" "Whithersoever you throw it, it will stand" will make sense when I go arse over tit ….

Hunting season...



It is Hunting season in Norway now….The perfect time to overhaul a Joe Hunt magneto. New bearings, oil seal, points and condenser. I don`t want to be a sitting duck in the spring…

High Speed Motorcycling.



These brake linings came with some Norton 16 H parts. I did not know that 16H`s are capable of high speed….But only the best are good enough…..

Something for the weekend sir?

This must be the best wine to impress your wife…?

You are allowed to drink this wine and ride a veteran motorcycle……But you must have equal amounts in each leg…

Free beer...

 
 
 
Last night I helped a friend to install a new magneto and set the ignition timing on a 1938 Ariel Red Hunter.
After he left I discovered a bottle beer he had left for me…..
 
 
 
 
 
I don`t need enemies when I have friends like that…..

Classic Remise Düsseldorf

 
 
This is the place to go to in Düsseldorf. Here you can have a meal and a beer among classic cars and bikes.
 
 
 



At this museum like old roundhouse for locomotives you can find workshops, related businesses, retail shops for classic car and motorcycle and sales and showrooms for classic cars. There is also a Ducati dealer there.









 
 
Owners of classic cars can rent one of the 75 completely glassed-in individual garages where they can park their cars.
 








A Moto Guzzi 65B, 63 cc from 1948. This is for sale at one of the dealers.






From the bistro.

Christmas tree stands really need a pair of TT carbs……
