The Rocker®
I was at a filling station in Handen taking photos of a Ford Fairlane a while back when I heard this Harley drive up. It was Stefan, from Stockholm. He is a technician, and works at Com Hem. He was out riding with a friend. It was a very warm day today as you can see on his outfit. They were heading to Rosenhill, and a very popular biker cafe there. To get there they would drive a road nicknamed Slingerbulten. There's at least one motorcycle accident on that road every week, but Stefan told me that they were out cruising at a somewhat slower pace. Sure was a good day for that. I asked him if he had been to the big Harley meet at Gålö last summer. It rained most of that weekend, but Stefan had been there.
belle moto, il ne lui manque que le blouson noir pour etre l'aigle noir
ReplyDeleteOnce again, excellent Steffe. Great portrait.
ReplyDeletenice Harley!
ReplyDeleteBlack is very IN! I hope he does not skid on that road, because the gravel rash would be nasty.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you have the (R) logo on the heading, Steffe?
Uauuu nice moto!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good day (only one road accident) ... cool portraiture of the "Rocker" ...
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought as Julie. Only here it's called road rash. Hope Stefan doesn't have an accident on any road.
ReplyDeleteSweden was definitely born to be wild.
ReplyDeleteThat's one mean looking machine Steffe, huge!! but he looks like he can handle it well. Great portrait.
ReplyDeleteIt's only there to confuse you Julie.
ReplyDeleteRocker is the name of the bike. I googled a few Harley models and some of them had the ® and the ™ in the name.
Great portrait, not many bikers here, too many scooterists.
ReplyDeleteTo confuse me ... it succeeded ... but that is not hard!!
ReplyDeleteHei Steffe.
ReplyDeleteTAKK for hilsener og tanker nå når det virkelig har vært spesielle tilstander her i Norge! Det har varmet og gjort godt å vite at omverdenen bryr seg!
Så mange flotte portretter du har tatt av svært ulike mennesketyper!
Du bør utgi en bok om menneske du har møtt på din veg!
Jeg klikker inn igjen om ikke lenge!
Håper du har en god SOMMER!:)
