Harley repair shop in early twenties at "Majorstuen" in Oslo. The bike in the middle is a Harley sport with in line boxer engine. Our former King Olav used to own one of those. Somewhere I have a photo with the then prince Olav and his Harley.

This is a photo from 1946 when my Henderson K was still in traffic. I recieved this from the bikes last user that I learned to know by a strange coincidence. He is 86 years old, sharp as a knive and he remembered the bike well.

Tor visiting from Stavanger



My good friend Tor from Stavanger stayed over from Friday to Saturday first weekend after A-Bombers. He went South to visit me and to go further on to join the Lucas Rally on Saturday. He was as usual touring one of his two original Harley brothers, both 1975 Pink AMF Electra`s (they have consequtive chassis numbers and where the only new Harleys sold in Norway this year). Tor is a true guru in anything Harley and have many old Harley`s as well as related memorabilia and litterature.

These are some photos of my 1939 W taken by the first owner and his then girlfriend.
They are taken late fourties when they toured extensively trough the south, west and mid Norway. The Hotel in background on one of the pics is the famoused "Stalheimskleiva Hotel".
