As some may recall, my younger brother went to the AMD World Championships in Sturgis. He got an honorable 16:th place and had a great time there (apart from the clowns at DHL scratching and denting his bike - Grrrrrrrrrr). Here is an interview with him from the event and a decent close-up of the bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBzWN9Nmmrk&feature=youtu.be Enjoy!

Your brother is one talented SOB! He builds bikes that actually look like motorcycles should. ( that's my highest compliment ) You must be very proud of him. 
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

That's one beautifully done bike there alright, Bengt. And, it was great watching your brother explain his creation there, too! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing it. I can't imagine the amount of time and work it takes to design and build such a machine! Spectacular!

what a cool bike! thanks for sharing that. I love the concept - what would a chopper have looked like in the 30s. I think he nailed it.
...you're gonna feel a little pressure....

I have been on Piper to drag his bike down to my place for a photosession since he repainted it but even better if they both showed up 
Hurry up Piper! .... the snow is soon here

Gotta say there sure is a lot of talent over there in Sweden, isn't there folks?! (...both in bike-building AND photography!!!)
