During the 20`s and 30`s American Motorcycles of several brands where used in the Scandinavian racing scene. Most common where Harleys and then Indian as number two. Norway had less tracks than Sweden and Denmark. In Norway most racing took place on horse race tracks.
Some of these pics I might have previously posted on the AMCA board, some not.
Three photos of Swedish daredevil Erik Westberg. He did get two 8 valve Harleys from the factory during his carreer. Many of Eriks speed records where set on ice during winter. These guys where brave!
Danish Harley racer`s,

What better way to start the New Year than with some pictures from the cave-gang from Trondheim! Those guys are the funniest bunch you can ever imagine! And some real good friends! They do not take things serious no matter what… Which’s one of the things I’m going to try to live up to in 2010! Life is funny if you want to;o) Happy New Year!!
