Auto jumble at the hot rod garage.

Had to get up early this morning. We where going to a auto jumble. Mostly car parts, but you never know.....I found a rear light!! The jumble are held at the nearest place to hot rod heaven in my part of the world. Browse thru the pictures and enjoy!

Last night I went to have a look at Gunnar "Speedy Gonzales" progress in the garage. Always interesting to have a close look there, he might have stuff I need.....He was also serving cake and drinks.....perfect!

A Triumph 5S engine from 1939 in need of some TLC.............

A rare bird.

It`s the first warm and sunny Sunday of spring, that`s probably why I am inside carpentering a new roof in the living room. It`s all about timing........The good thing is that I can see and hear all the bikes passing my house. For the record: the roof is not my idea. Suddenly I hear the sound of a single. It stops at my house. I can sense a welcomed brake in the roofing.

 This is not a common bike. An Ardie from 1931. I think the model is called Silberpfeil. Made in Germany by Ardie Werk Nürnberg. English made JAP 500cc engine and Burman gerbox. Aluminum frame and a lot of chrome make the bike very shiny.This is a well restored and sorted bike.

I found out that Ardie also made a hot dog machine......That`s probably why Hans where heading to a snack bar. I think i know the order: "Eine grose bratwürst bitte".

Healthy diet.....

Burgers and heads, the meny at todays classic bike meet. The local cafe.....the waitress was not to impressed.

The meny from left: Norton Inter 350cc, aluminum/bronze, ca 1937. Rudge Ulster, 500cc, bronze, 1933-34. Rudge Special 500cc, cast iron, 1933-34.

They are still out there!

Sometime at work we get in orders that are extremely urgent. Yesterday we had to get parts made and machined for a generator. To get them delivered fast enough I had to drive them out myself.

Just when I had delivered the spares I got a phone call: “Have you seen the bike adverted today? I think it`s a Triumph”. I had not and was a long way from home. But surprise, I was only 10 minutes away from the bike. So I went off to the seller. Best thing you can do, look at bikes when you are paid for it. This is the bike, covered in dust and chicken shit:

The engine is a side valve Triumph, 5S or 6S, from late `30 is. The bike parts? I think it is a Tornax, once fitted with a JAP engine.

The average sidecar chauffeur?

I was planning to send you all a nice Easter greeting and an update on the bikes. But you have to settle for this diabolic rider. Might be my friend at  http://americanmotorcyclesnorway.blogspot.com/ . I have seen him with a sidecar outfit from time to time.....
