ISR (or the ultimate barn find)

Believe it or not, there are still "barn finds" out there. This is a racing bike build by the famous swedish company ISR. Known mostly for their greate brakes. They build about 60 chassis for different engines in the early eighties, before the japs started with their R bikes.
Square tubing of chromemolymangan, magnesium wheels,brakes and lower forks.
This bike, with a Motospeed tuned GSX 1100 engine, was sitting in a garage only a few kilometrs from where i live. For over twenty years. Lucky for me the owner has decided to sell it. And i picked
it up in a hurry. Had to wait two hours for him to find all the parts. In the first picture it was just like American pickers. But it was all there.
This is Swedish racing history....  

Destroyed by Waltz

Even the german mr. Marcus Waltz "destroy"  Triumph these days.....

XR 1000 Touring

 You don't see many XR 's as a touring machine. You don't even see them often at all.

Clean as clean could be, flathead choppers are also rare these days.

Muffler Heaven

The other day a friend of mine bought a shitload of parts for japanese bikes from the eighties. And among that it was a box of  MCM mufflers that i got a hold of.
I thought i have seen most of the strange/weird stuff from the past, but square mufflers was new.
I really don't know yet what to put it on, but maybe som day........  

Suzuki Garage

This garage belongs to my first boss . He was the Suzuki dealer in our town in the late sixties, seventies
and a few years into the eighties. The period bikes was the two cylinder t-250,t-350 and t-500. Then come the triples, the GT series and then the four strokers came along.
This is from his garage today when he is building up the GS series and he also have this passion for the offroad model of SP-370. The bikes he makes are serious made with many parts made of stainless. Like wheel axels, chain tensioners and assorted bolts and nuts. He is not a total original freak, the importent thing is that they work.        

Summertime 2011

This beautiful Ford was parked outside our local cemetery on one of the few sunny Sundays this year.

Jeff Decker, Superrally 2008 Denmark.

I had the greate pleasure to meet mr  Jeff Decker (or JD as he says about himself)  in Denmark
when he and some other custom builders from the US was attending the Superrally.
His bronze sculptures was fantastic to look at, as was both the Crocker and the Cyclone.
Mr. JD was also extremely friendly and we where talking about the bikes for a long time.
