The Mystery Panhead.

I run into this Panhead when i was in Stockholm a couple years ago. If you take a look at all the details, you can see that the owner is thinking "way out of the box". Forks and brakes from a mx bike,fuel injection, oil tank with filters and so on. He was complaining on the soft tail frame, that was shit. Some will say ugly and some will say interesting. We was camping next to the bike and it was funny to watch people going by. Most just walked by, but sometimes they went three steps ahead and then suddenly stopped and went back and beginning to study the bike.
The owner was super nice and we had a good conversation.

Ellwood Racing Engine

John Ellwood and his engines. Is he a genius or totally freaked out. Time will show, look up and search the internet. Read for yourself. (I think he must be a genius).

The Pit..where the strange things are....

Puch Maxi with a sidecar.

Mysterious Sachs engine, now with rotary valve. Nice sound

Angle grinder outside the work shop.

Hmmm big toys for big boys.

Another starting device.

Hedlund Harley.....

I saw this in the parking at the classic races in Sviestad Sweden two weeks ago. It did draw a lot of attention, the sound was great but the frame sucks. It was a HD softail frame. I talk to the owner while he was stopping on the gas station and he told me it was a great runner with lots of power.
