One of the most hardcore bikes ever built

Stefan Farnell's 1000 cc Hedlund Racer. Built in 1985! One of the hardest and raddest bikes ever built.

Thank you Stefan!

Good Times

Some good ol' parties in Stockholm. Early -80's. Look closely: there's cool shit everywhere in these pics!

Forget that new pope Franz the 1st in Italy and check outta the real Pope of Performance: the one and only Cala Steimar! What Cala doesn't know (or have) in terms of H-D is probably not worth knowing (or having). A true Living legend!

Cala was the first who started to sell S&S stuff outside of the US. Musta been late -60's or early -70's.

Luv these pics! Think they are from early -80's...but not sure. Cala: help me out if you see this.

Check out Cala's High Performance amazing workshop and bikes here.

Sofia Hogs 1968

Bonafide Legends! Tearing up the streets of Stockholm in -68. So much history! So much respect!

Mattis and his goddess Urd.

These two Sofia Hogs scoots were built in Stockholm, Sweden in 1968. This is the real shit. Genuine bobbers with cool parts all over. We can only fall to our knees...!

Original Badass

The cover of the very first MCM in 1985 featuring original badass Choken and his epic Pan!

John Eyre

Back in the early -80's, when I and started getting into Swedish chopper rags like Hojmagasinet and MCM, all these beautiful drawings and paintings kept gracing the pages. They were all done by John Eyre.

Back then it was a huge inspiration to me.

And still is!

2nd thru 22nd of March in Stockholm: Old vehicle's-New paintings.

Erik's sweet Fix

Just hooked up with ol' time bud Fix-it-Erik who just had his killer bobber featured in MCM!

Erik always rode the shit outta the stuff he built! If it has two wheels it gotta be whipped! That's just how he rolls.

Dig this: it ain't no ol' Milwaukee tractor! This scoot has KTM 18/21 wheel combo, carbed 1670cc Wildstar motor cradled in parts of a -40's flathead frame, all chopped, bobbed, bent and soldered to perfection!

All the pics were shot by Stefan Boman! Big up's!

Attaboy! This is how we do it back home!

Triton International

I built this thing in Sweden back in -95 or so. It was based around a replica CroMo Manx frame and my buddies old genuine Lyta tank, the front sported John Tickle frontbrake and clip-on's. The motor I built from parts and it had a 750 Morgo kit, open primary belt and Hunt magneto. Rode it almost daily until I slammed into a car in -98 and split my nose. Fixed the frame (and nose) and got going again until the cams gave up in -99. Rebuilt it all in -00. Moved to California in -01. Rode it there. Moved to Munich in -03. Rode it there. Took this pic with Isaac in 2005 and then sold it...it was a good bike.
