Norway & Sweden By Van – Part 2

An Upside to Everything

Last weekend, me and some friends were at mini track-day with our motorcycles. I ended up in a faster group than them, so I was trying to push myself and the bike a bit. While coming out of a lap, just before the pit entry, my bike seized up…

Sweden’s Forgotten Car Cemetery

A while ago I went on a little road trip to the west of Sweden. In a tiny place called Båstnäs, there's the remains of a once huge car cemetery. The place is pretty well known these days, people even come from all over Europe to visit it. It…
