yes, we have quite many good bands over here. HIM is now maybe the most known and famous band outside Finland. But there is other great bands too like Hanoi Rocks, Sister Manik, Children of Bodom, Apocalyptica and many more. In Sweden there is bands like Hellacopters, Backyard Babies, Hives and Nomads which are really great hard-rock bands!

We have too long winter even though I live in Southern Finland. And because we have roads covered with ice and snow at least from November to April, there is nothing else to do but customize or repair bikes or drink beer. Or maybe both at the same time...[sm=icon_guiness.gif]

 

Lots of great bands from up there. If I named 20 of my favorite bands, probably at least three quarters of them would be from northern europe. Arch Enemy, Therion, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity from Sweden, Mercenary from Denmark, Tristania from Norway, After Forever from Netherlands, Nightwish from Finland and lots more.

i was into fast a long time ago but now i like to take my dyna and enjoy the ride . and you got to understand 20or 30 years ago it was no big deal to go fast today there is to many cages out there but you really got to understand it does not make any diffence what you ride when you hit that car at 90 m.p.h. or fast you got to that speed you are still just as dead myself i enjoy rideing to much and i want to keep doing it so yea i have slowed down but i still have just as much fun with out seeing how fast i can go.

 

Anyone have anything newer to report along the lines of this thread?

 

nothing will ever touch the inline 4 that honda come out with in the 70's all the old school CB 750's lead the way to sportbikes as we know them... the cafe's that i build out of them are still smoking some of the new rice burner 600 rockets... it is just a great motor... that is why all the major companys still use it! Who is going to be the first to take that... a rotory motor woudl be SICK!

Sick, dude!

 

I hear ya, my SV650 will smoke my bob in the 1/4 and top end but just barely since I had the Bob tuned on a dyno.It's a shame you gotta spend a grand or more to get a 15K Harley to run almost as well as a 6K ricer.But what are ya gonna do you can't sell it without losing thousands.
