Jokers #8 2011 pictures

<



























































Jokers #8 was this weekend. To bad its over.
I had a fukkin great time this year. Alot of good friends, old and new.

We started our trip from Gothenburg with 6 harleys and me in my roadster.
we had good company from England. Jimmy, a really friendly guy from London who came all the way with his 48 panhead.
Mikey from team Smod had some problems with leakin gastank but we fixed it with soap. It almoust held all the way but in the end he was soaping his tank every 10th second but it still leaked alot. So we had to stop and take it the rest of the trip in a van.

Friday night was good , the weather sucked donkey boner, but instead everyone was totally wasted and Brutus played on the scene that night. Damn guys, you rock!!
The Phantom was out in the crowd this year as well. He even had a stand in for sathurday. Nisse from A -Bombers carclub took over his torch for the night.

The next day there was a great bike and car show during the day.
It was alot of bikes this year. from Deuthchland, england, holland, Finland and maybe some more. Damn there are good bike builders in europe.

my pal Peter ,the "little bit tired" guy on the last pic came with his white with red scallops 1936 knucklehead bobber.
A rare sight!

at the evening it was full party until early morning as ordinary.
Thanks for a super party this year boys and gals!

We had a sweet ride home on sunday with sunshine and nice wiew out my window on some of gothenburgs nicest choppers.

See ya at the Fücker chopper fest in july.

The Hidden 1937 Chevy

I had this old 1937 chevrolet Master a couple of years ago.
Found it in Norway , when I had a visit to a old man to buy a pair of NOS 1928 Ford fenders.

Funny story on this car. It was hidden for the nazi troops when they occupied Norway during world war II.
The owner dug a big hole in the ground then hide the car for the nazi troops who took all the vehicles they could find to move faster.
The car remain hidden until the 60´s then they took it back to suface and repaint the car blue. They drove it for a few years then put it into a barn.
There it was until I bought it. I didnt even want the car but the price was right and I was lucky enough to have all the money I needed in my wallet that day. I even borrow his trailer to bring it over to sweden!

I sold the car later and bought a ticket to Australia and surfed for 4 mounths.
Sweet.

Stan "the ironman" Dishong & The Hog

The Hog was built in the late 50’s, based on a Harley with a 96 cui engine.
Stan built the engine himself, with double chain driven overhead cams, and a injector.
In 1958 he ran mid 9’s on the 1/4 mile, with elapsed times at 130 mph.
Back in 1965 he sat a trackrecord at Lions Dragstrip with a 147 mph pass.
Stan and The Hog was never defeated on the track, and he went on to win over 200 races.
Stan Dishong successfully ran his motorcycle business for nearly 30 years out of his shop in Vallejo, Ca.
