What now?

Ok, now I´m a bit confused... A week ago I had a beer, where the bottle cap had a drawing of a raised fist on the inside (see THIS blogpost). I saw it as a message for me to "fight the power".

This weekend I had another one of the same type of beer, and guess what... This is what I found on the inside of the cap (see picture below). W.T.F? Confusing... Another political hand sign, but of a totally other significance... Now what do I do?

vintage b/w swedish choppers

A couple more from Colorod issue 2, 1971. Unfortunately just black/white this time. "ye purple ghost" was built by swedish chopper legend "Dollar" Sullivan.






I do not watermark my scans because I think it´s ugly and the pictures aren´t really mine to start with, I just scan them from old mags and publish them. So, feel free to steal and reblog my scans, but please do not put your own watermarks on them, and please remember to tell them where you found them! Thanks!

Bacterial Culture

Got another package in the mail today from Sweden.

I´m in the latest issue of the swedish magazine Bakteriekultur (Bacterial Culture). That´s nice.

My contribution to the mag is facsimiles from my dream diaries. You can have a look at the digital version of the magazine HERE (pages 20 - 25. Sorry, swedish only...)

I won!

Got two packages from Sweden in the mail today. One was this little surprise that I actually won in a quiz over at the Magneto Zoo blog. Go check it out, it´s cool!

Thanks, the pin is exellent!

(tell you more about the other package later)

Fight the Power

Had a bottle of beer last night. Found this little drawing on the inside of the cap... strange...

Must be a sign!

Fight the Power!

Norrtälje Custom bike Show 1975

You may have heard of Norrtälje Custom Bike Show, the most important bike show in Sweden and as such, one of the absolutely most important in europe. Last year Chopper Dave was one of the judges.
Now, as you can se below, Norrtälje Custom bike Show is not a new invention. It was totaly "tha shit" in -75, and sported, as you can see, high quality bikes already in those days.
