Late winter road trip.
Last year I
delivered some magnetos to Lindom in Sweden for repair. He is located some 500
km from me, so it is not often I go there. The Mooneyes Bike Show was coming up…..and
the MC collection museum is not far away. I invited some friends and we had an instant
weekend road trip..
A cool
place to hold a bike show, an old industrial building.
Enjoy the
eye candy.
Lindoms well
equipped magneto workshop.
Geeks at
the museum….
Marlon
Brando are watching when you do your business….

Summer memories
Yes, I am
still here…..I have been moving house and workshop. There was a lot of iron to
shift and I have still a lot of bike bits to move….a workshop to complete.
All work
and no play makes Jack a dull boy so here you have some summer memories.
George
came over from England.
Trying out Gunnar’s
Velocette Thuruxton for size.
Skogsløpet….a
Norwegian vintage rally.
Visiting
Knut`s well equipped workshop
Two masters
discuss the finer details of a dolls head gearbox.
George`s
report in “The Classic bike guide”
Goodwood
revival with the boys.
Beer and Norton’s
seem to find me wherever I go…
Some shall
be pardoned and some punished.
If you are
old and lonely get, yourself a Manx Norton and all the nice girls will line up…..A well-known
fact…
You know
you are in the company of nerds when the construction of a wooden workbench
takes half an hour of investigation.
Lurking pickpockets
and villains can be a problem when you are traveling.

A wet day at Kala raceway.
I have been
looking forward to this for a long time. As usual more time has been spent in
the workshop than I have expected. At the other hand maybe my wife likes oily
and sweaty men?
The weather
forecast on Friday was not that bad….
Well, the
weather men are like FIFA….Not to be trusted. So we had to wait until the worst rain had stopped
and the pikes had left the track.
I had some
time to check out the bikes of my competitors……and it looks like there is a serious
engine in this one….
So I
decided to play safe and use the Tribsa to get some fast laps….
My bike
pushers and handy men are relaxing and trying to spot suitable girls….
Don`t mess
with men that uses a Dodge weapons carrier to start their bike….
Oh yea…..The
BSA boys are ready to rumble……
At a time I
thought that it was game over…..The exhaust pipe broke clean off in the weld,
close to the cylinder head….Some steel wire made a good temporary fix.
And yes…..Those
two shady looking blokes behind the bike are my body guards….
We got the chance to ride a few practice laps….So
it`s Goldie time….
“Attention!
….Will all turn their heads to the left”
Electrical
problems stopped me just after half a lap….But the Goldie had a lot of power
when it ran. Let`s just say like the
Terminator: I`ll be back.
Have you
ever wondered how the view from the infield of a race track looks like?
The final…..Serious business…This can turn both ways, who will lady luck ride with today?
I do believe
that Lady Luck has a thing for bearded men….
