More engine power

My friend Speedy Gonzales Gunnar have no limits in his quest for more horse power in the flat head 750 Harley Davidson…..This Speed-Rally exhaust will make a huge difference. Wheelies and power slides will be on a daily basis now…..

Saturday swapmeet

Nice stamps.......

They have some good looking stamps in Sweden….And some good looking girls on Norton’s….

A busy weekend!

 

Autojumble on Friday evening.

Vintage motorcycle club board meeting Saturday.

Vintage motorcycle rally “Follo rundt” Sunday.

 

 

I was so trilled that I found my wife a nice present at the autojumble……A ice racing tire….I can tell you, every woman deserve one….

 

 

 

Bring the Sunbeam out……..The sun shines. The “Beam” with friends….

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prizes to my liking……Well, I did not win….

 

 

 

To brake or not to brake…..

 

The king of cool….

 

Have you noticed the adverts for Barbour in the magazines?  They use a photo of Steve McQueen on a Triumph Trophy from the 1964 ISDT. Can you see something wrong?

At work I have a poster of Steve McQueen on the wall….

 

The Barbour version dos not smoke…..That’s probably political correct for 2013. But motorcycling is not healthy either, and combusting engines are bad for the environment…..What about all the photos of Winston Churchill with a cigar?

 If the historic photos do not suit your adverts profile it is ok to change them?

The Vintage Revival at Montlhéry, France, 2013. # 3

I was presented with two bottles of wine from Laurent`s   (http://twist-grip.blogspot.no/ ) home town.

When he comes to visit Norway, I will give him a bottle of spirit that you can run your JAP speedway bike on….

My brother Dag is posing behind an Excelsior racer…..trying hard to look like he has owned it since new…

 

“Shit…..I hope the rider comes back soon…..I really need to go to the toilet…..”

 

 

Do you know how many persons you can get into a low budget hotel room?……We are sampling Laurent’s wine with some cheese. I can assure you that it was very nice.

 

Royal Enfield made bikes “like a gun”. This bike was made like a aeroplane…….

 

 

This rear end virtually says: “keep your distance!”

 

The Parisian girls were quite a hand full. They would not take a no for a no. She tried to get her wicked ways with Gunnar. But I can assure Gunnar’s wife that it was only friendly nibbling on the ear….I think that’s quite acceptable when you are lonely and a long way from home….

Some more photos of motoring’s la belle époque.

 

 

 

I now understand the meaning of a boat tail car.

 

The pilots view of a Harley Davidson Twin Cam.

 

Some riders really went fast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you do offerings to the God of speed, you have to take a ride back to base on the unglamorous chariot.

Old MacDonald had a farm……but he also had a couple of racing cars. The scary goat keeps felons away.

 

The Bonniksen Isochronous Speedometer, one of my favourite instruments. I think I need a bike with one attached.

 

 

 

McEvoy`s in glorious spring weather.

 

A well-deserved power nap before the next laps.

 

 

 

Jimmy Nail had a song called Crocodile Shoes……….And yes, I do think this is the actual pair….

 

 

Chanel No5 meets Castrol R40. You just have to love it!
