Had a bizzy weekend... Friday: MHS vintage swap at Malmby Fairground, an old military airstrip 5 minutes from the club. Walked around a couple of hours looking at to much flea market BS, and some cool old stuff. Then I went 130km (81miles) down to Peking MC in Norrköping to put my tent up at there Summer Party, as I´ve done most years the last 20 years. After an hour at Peking I went another 130 km down to Västervik for the event.
Manfred at Mc-Nytt, the oldest motorcycle magazine in Sweden, made me an offer I couldn't refuse; to bee in the jury for "Guldbågen" ("The Golden Bike"), a prize of 50,000 SKR (about $7000 USD). The jury worked from 11am to 7 pm, the prize cermony was at 9pm. Then I went back to Peking MC. Good ride!

Modern "board track bikes" built by to young Swedish guys working at Calles Chopperdelar.I don´t thing the builder of the green bike is even 20 years old! Herman, the withebike builder is in his mid 20's, I think. The withe bike was runner up in Guldbågen and a "Waltz Hardcore-looker" with turbocharged Suzuki TL 1000 engine, built in his laundry, was 3rd.
