A Danish Affair

I spent 3 weeks in Denmark on a study tour for my work. This is my biking encounter, which mainly involved attending the annual British Bike Rally with Finn and his riding gang, the Low-Flyers.

Finn had an old Norton then, but has since upgraded to a Duke.

It is a 750SS. Here he is at a Ducati track day.

Finn's brother Ralf has the big daddy, the 900.

And here the two of them are going to look for the sausage creature.

The Low-flyers make an annual pelgrimage to France. This is a stop on the way.

And this is the arrival at the campsite.

A menacing Speed Triple arriving.

At the annual British Bike Rally (usually meant for older British bikes) there was a stand-off between guys on newer Triumphs wanting to race, and the race-organisers refusing to let them, as they would undoubtedly record the fastest times. This guy eventually raced, but his (and other's) times were unofficial.

The drag strip is actually a service road for those windmills, but it works pretty well!

The compulsory burnout. Feeling the pressure from those exhausts are enormous when you stand behind them!

A little bit more smoke if you don't mind, please...

A twin-engined monster!

The British rally does not stop bikes from all shapes, sizes and nationalities to come - as long as they parked outside the entrance of the venue!

This guy brought his Mama's Vibrator from as far as Sweden.

This is a Triumph...

Or maybe it used to be a Triumph!

Wheelie bars? On these little machines? You bet!

No prices for guessing who is not enjoying Denmark's cold! Finn has the Norton 850 Commando (at the back), and his friend Bent, with the Triumph Bonneville. In the middle is his son Magnus.

The bike meeting (or rally!) is hosted annually by the Mosten Motorcycle Club. This is Finn and his son, Johan.
Until then, the Low-flyers mostly owned classic British bikes. Finally getting tired of the endless spannering, they have upgraded to modern (non-japanese!) machines.

Exploring Denmark was a memorable experience. Here I am with some of my collegues.


My experience as a fisherman was put to good use!
