     Stockholm, Sweden biker scene in the 80's

    This is the biker scene I mingled with during the 80s - great fun with many interesting concepts finding its way to the scene - It was such a vibrant era where Harley even sent reps across the Atlantic ocean to Stockholm steeling ideas and concept from custom bikes they saw on the streets that they brought back to the factory.

    Heaps of great guys and bikes (where I at the time felt like a noob and somewhat "out" due to my then newly purchased stock 1981 FLHC-80 (proud of my bike today though that still is with me)

    Some of the shots is from Djurgården (djurgårds brunn's parken) in Stockholm where we met spontaneously every Wednesday evening - This 100% spontaneous event grew into thousands of bikes over time resulting in bikers all the way from Denmark, Holland and Germany wanted to join in - A fantastic era without any of the B*S club factions that is going on now days (sadly no more where many clubs have been forced to shut down or join % factions)

    See, running car tyres on bikes is nothing new.

    And I thought Sweden was just 80's tennis legends, daggy cars and hot women....
