Iron Horse Mc Show 2010

This time around I´m going to take a chance and post some pictures that are not taken by myself. These pictures are from 2010 Iron Horse MC Nyköping Bike show. The pictures are taken by one of Sweden´s finest photographers Janne Lindström from Blotsvens MC. Some great shots capturing the spirit of the show and the Swedish biker-culture! Thanks Janne for the pictures and I hope you don´t sue me for reposting them here in my blog.. :) Enjoy!

Mike D

If you know Mike, you'll know he has the best stories.



I was laughing so much when he was telling me how he came across his as-raced-in-the-sixties T120C.



Anyway, you can read about it in the next issue. I don't know where Mike finds the energy: fettling so many cool bikes, working a day job, raising a family, running the Cycle Lodge and organising Born Free... 4.



Good to talk to you again Mike.

Moto Guzzi 500 GTS.

There is something with an unrestored bike you can`t create again. This beautiful 1936 Moto Guzzi 500 GTS are resting at Arvika Fordonsmuseum, Sweden.

 

                     From the era when detailing was important. Even on a humble IOE single.

Always late

My wife was listening to Bob Harris tonight while cooking the dinner and called me in... "They're playing Lefty!". Had a little dance to a song that was no.1 in the chart 60 years ago today.



Makes me hope there is a little bar in Brooklyn where Tip Top Daddy and I can drink a few brews and listen to Lefty and the rest. Makes me think of my old truck that was my haven, my shrine to old country music, where I could turn up the volume and get lost in sentimentality.



Apologies for the video; turn it up and listen to a voice that is as plaintive as they come.

A shadow of its former self

My Pan's still in bits, thanks for asking. Bits that are scattered all over the UK.



Boz has most of the engine down in Kent, and is balancing the crank and honing those barrels... as... we... speak.



Richard has the rest of the bike in Lincolnshire.



And I have the photos. And the memories (thanks Gareth).



Won't be long though. I hope.
