a LOT".įor those who don't know, American choppers tended to run with springer or girder forks that were stretched as much as 21".

I asked "what do you do on rough roads?" The answer was "Oh, they flex. I'll never forget the first time I saw a Swedish chopper- it had rigid fork tubes, without plungers. I'd been on the road about a month and needed a break so I just chilled out there for 3 days and smoked some weed and read and soaked up the greenness (I was re-reading 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' which took me back 30 years to when I was in my 20s and that just added to the ethereal nature of the place). An elderly lady would slowly walk round each morning from somewhere nearby and take my twelve euros other than that I might have been the only person for miles. I was the only person on site and had the whole place to myself for I think, 12€ a night. While I'm digging through the old pics, check out this hostel in an ancient farmhouse that a random Swedish biker I met at another fuel stop took me to. They had a workshop in miniature packed into the sidecar, tools spares oils all sorts of stuff. Swedish owned, they rode it all over the place. Oh yeah and this was on the ferry from Denmark with me. Pulled in for fuel and this was at the next pump. I rode through Sweden on my fatboy a couple of years back going from Denmark to Estonia. Need to find an OEM part?
