My aunt is visiting and wanted to take a trip around the vilages
She moved south in the 60s so she wanted to se how it had changed
so wife and i gave her a trip in mothers coupe

Random creek in the forest



Traditional 19th century NorthSwedish farmhouse


We stoped by at some rapids and had coffe and mothers freshly baked spongekake and chocolate chip cookies




A fisherman decided it was more interesting talking to aunt and the wife




Some random pics

So the summer is soon over. With some luck we have a month left,
but probably 2 weeks
So we go to my wifes hometown Lycksele for the annual Motorweek
I had prefered to drive the galaxie but some problems with the brakes
stoped thath. So its wifes SL as a substitute

We left home with overcast skies



Stoped by at stepsons place
The German shepherd that broke wifes leg last summer



Wife and my Grand stepson



then scenerys like this for 3 hours only broken up by abandoned villages and overgrowing farmland











Somebody have restored an old Gulf gasstation in an dying village. There was a VW type3,Opel Kapitän, and a VW type3
rallycross car inside









Was open from 1947-1982  about then the big death of the inland started to show. It begun in the 60s
but was in full blow in the 80s

Great pics Heo! 

Sorry to hear about the Galaxie, but brakes are for sissies.  It reminds me of F1 boss Gunther Steiner a while back making a remark on the radio about his driver Mick Schumacher:  "He's driving so slowly he doesn't need the brakes!"

I love the shots of the inland areas, and the Gulf station.  Enjoy your time with the family.  Cute Grandkid  :D  I'll be thinking of you guys when I'm on the lake in northern Minnesota in a few weeks.  Lots of Swedes up around there!

Last night we had a tropical night, to hot to sleep so i took the AJS for a ride at 1.00 a clock
Moonlit a hard  southern breeze and a thunderstorm in the distance, it was a magic view
Drove around for a couple of hours on smal roads.
There was no trafic exept for me so i turned of the headligt not that a 6 volt lucas head light
make a big differance ;D And no need to stress the perhaps a few amp generator
Was fantastic, just me wind in the face and the motorcycle playing its bass solo.
Seems to run better and better the moore i use it
Today we had the hotest day of the year 90 degrees in the shadow. summer going out with a bang

Times like that are magical!

I remember when I was young and (a little less) stupid I did a long 2:00 am water skiing session under a full moon.  There was nobody around and the ocean was perfectly still.  It was spectacular!  Of course you had to know where the rocks and other hazards were, but that's stuff for old people to worry about  :o :o

I'm jealous of your epic motorcycle ride.  Those are rare times when you're one with your machine and everything feels right.
