Aviation

I have been stationed in Norway and Billund for the last 5 weeks, so I'm really looking forward to get home and see Denmark, my bikes and the workshop for a short while : )
But this is Aviation, and that's what I'm doing at the moment. It's very educational, and a lot of fun.


MD83 BLL Airport.
I was there to replace an APU oilpump and perform an A-check.




















There is almost no access for the replacement of the oilpump when the APU is installed at the Aircraft.





















In Norway I vent to a rescue helicopter hangar, to see their pride : )
The tailrotor only wants to kill you !





















High technology
























This is the real deal : ) Avions de Transport Régional - ATR, the Aircrafts that I'm working at most of the time.

Knuckle Bobber

As time goes on, I'm getting more and more excited about making a Knuckle bobber out of my 45 flathead project. And save the Flathead engine for later : )

I got the bike
















I got the engine

Then I 'just' have to put it together

Denmark

Today is a sad day for Denmark. We were voting for the governments, and the Communists won.50,3% against 49,7%.
The conclusion is that 50,3% of the citizens are confused.

Anyway, life goes on – let’s hope for the best, and enjoy our lives as much as possible : )

Ink

It's now more than one year since I got my last tattoo, I think I'll soon be ready for the next one ; )
I would love to have a traditional swallow bird, with inspiration from the Sailor Jerry Tattoos - so all that is left is to make an appointment...

Sailor Jerrys version:





















My version:




Later on, when I finish my education I would like to get a nice and classic tattoo, with a proppeller - this is the idea that I'm working on:


























This is some old aviation flash :)

After Mosten Raceday

As expected, Mosten Raceday was really nice. This year I came one day earlier than usual, but it was really worth it !
The first day Johnny Winter played one hell of a concert, this is absolute one of the best concerts I have heard. Hats off to this old man.
Friday was the day of the qualifications for the race Saturday. That means from 9:00 AM till 6:00 PM two days in a row, I spend most of my time sitting at the stand, looking at the race track. Excellent !


Johnny Winter and his band

















Most of the concert Johnny was sitting on a chair, because he hardly can't see anymore, but I promise he still knows how to play the guitar !


















Dragracing !!!

















During the qualifications, an engine at one of the bikes blew off the forward cyllinder and cyllinder head. The explosion was so powerfull that it teared off a 6ton strap installed for situations like this, and continued to the frame and teared the frame apart ! If you look carefully at the following picture, you can see that the front legs of the frame are completely broken. The frame is sitting at the dragway, but the front wheel is not touching the grund.
















This is the same bike in the pit later on. They used their time to disassambly everything, to et ready to weld on a new front part of the frame, when they get back home.
















More dragracing

















One of the fastest bikes was this Gulf painted top fuel bike
















Look at this beauty

















More from the pit


















S & S Dragrace Sportster engine ! This is a nice one I thik.


















When we get drunk and in a good mood we always make a few pictures of random sleeping persons :D



















The ACDC cover band "Back in Black" was playing saturday evening, it was quite nice as well, but not the real deal



















Among the dragbikes I found one cute Indian... Ready to get chopped ? :D :D


















A lot of cars was driving as well, but most of them is not so intereting (I think) only the Top Doorslammers is really something. They drives almost as fast as the fastest bikes !
