In the end of May 2009 I went on a little road trip. The goal was to get to the annual Bike Fest in Trondheim and Oslo Open in the capitol of Norway Oslo! The events where held the same weekend, that is Bike Fest on Saturday and Oslo Open on Sunday. I arrived in Trondheim on Friday evening (which is about 1000km or 621 miles from my home) and attended the Bike fest on Saturday and then drove to Oslo on Saturday evening (which is about 550km or 342 miles) Enjoyed the Oslo Open bike gathering and the Norwegian Championship of Custom Bike Building, and then drove home on Sunday evening.. A trip to remember with loads of cool bikes, interesting people and many nice hours in the saddle ;o)

In Iceland there is a long tradition in building 4x4 cars! The most known concept is “Arctic Trucks” which actually is a company specializing in rebuilding Toyota jeeps and pick-ups. The tradition in changing other kinds of cars is much older and goes way back to the seventies. Back then there were mostly US cars people chose. Now days they rebuild almost any kind of car from any country. And they use them to get in to the back country and on to the glaciers. Check out more of Arctic trucks and other 4x4 on youtube.com ;o)

This weekend I have been busy in the garage. My good friend Benn Peter came to visit and we did some finishing touches on his Sporty Bobber. I welded the exhaust (again) and he did some gas tank repair. We also did some serious drinking on Friday night which included some fine Cognac from a guy named “Hardy” and some Norwegian booze called “Gammel (dirty) Oppland” Akevitt ;o) On Saturday my buddy Helge dropped in for a few hours to work on his Panhead chopper. The pictures are taken with Benn’s unique photo setup. There is no Photoshop effects used to get the pictures this way only a digital Canon camera and a 60 year old Kodak camera!! Check out the equipment and some more unique photos from Benn at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bennpeter/
