 Hedlund-V-Twin-Engine-TimUK Hedlund-V-Twin-Roadracer-1987 hedlund2 hedlund1 hedlund3 hedlund4

Hedton (Swedish Hedlund racing v-twin engine in a Featherbed) from the other side, with a different front end.Here's a man building a Hedton/ Hedlon: albinracing. The interesting Google translation of the Swedish text gives this:

"I was in the day and greeted Ramsnidarlegenden Sune Olsson Hedemora (SOH)

and Sune was crafted to a very interesting bike with a newly Hedlund V twin to be fitted with spray and candies. More pictures here

Consider what some people are good, but on the other hand, there is probably a genius in all of us just have to find talent and get appreciation.

I myself can perform a trick with coffee spoons that not many can, they you. See ya"
