Just came back from Harley meet on Bornholm, a small Danish island. A very relaxed atmosphere people was just enjoying themselves and having fun. The original plan was to stay from Friday to Monday and see a bit of the island while I was where there. But the weather wasn’t too good and since it [...] Keep reading

I had heard the rumor of an American girl touring Europe on a vintage motorcycle. Today I learned that it’s true, her name is Jacqui Van Ham and she’s riding a 1972 BMW R75/5 (Thanks to my buddy Olaf, for the tip). I think it’s bloody great what she’s doing, and I wish it was me.

This weekend was Bedrock weekend (for the uninitiated, that is a pre 54 motorcycle and car meet), and as usual it was bloody good event. The track this year was long and very difficult for the lads on two wheels. But they did great and delivered one of the most entertaining races I’ve seen yet. [...] Keep reading

Sony Ericsson, just released a new Ducati phone. Car brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini etc. have been putting their name to notebook computers for a while. I wonder if this is the first move from motorcycle manufacturers to do the same for phones. Next up might be a skull shaped clamp shell from the Milwaukee buys. Via: [...] Keep reading

The good people from Sturgis Rally has provided me with tickets for all three concerts at Sturgis. But since I’m not going, I’ve decided to give away the tickets to you.

Just watched Brittown the new motorcycle movie from the guys behind Chopper Town - The Sinners. Brittown follows a guy called Meatball who excels in building vintage British motorcycles like Triumph, BSA etc. The movie is loaded with paralyzing moments of cool vintage motorcycles being put to actual use.

There’s not much to criticize on this years Super Rally. Logistics where great, food was good, music was good, and the beer was reasonably prized. Just one thing was bad, and that was the police being a little less than easy to work with at the entrance. I had no problems, but when the rally began [...] Keep reading

This weekend was super rally weekend, and my bike got finished just in time to make the run. The weather was beyond great and there was no mechanical hick ups along the way. That was more than enough to make it a great weekend. But things was going to get even better. On Saturday I had [...] Keep reading

You might have forgotten, or at least you don’t think about it much. But if you really try to recall, what is the first memory you have about motorcycles? When did the bug bite? Here’s when the bug bit me I didn’t really have motorcycles in my life when I was a kid, so as far as [...] Keep reading

Yea, well it’s a pocket bike but never the less. I know I’m probably on thin ice here concerning both animal welfare and the seriousness of the blog, but what the heck. Think of the possibilities. Next step is to train the little fellow to drive down to the local store and pick a six [...] Keep reading
