My Swedish buddy..

[soonerbillz]

So not to hijack the reed thread...
John's not really a Swede, he is a Englishman who has lived in Sweden for many years.
But I was talking to him yesterday.. about some of his projects.  I can listen for hours to him as he explains all the things he is working on.
He is an inventor of sorts.. but loves bikes and other moving things. Among other things he owns and races a really nice YDS2.
John has been doing and creating radical projects for a long time.
He really is a  pretty competent builder.
I've attached a pic of his home made land/ice speed sled on which he hopes to break the world record for ice racing.
The sled is powered by a rocket that John designed and built himself.
Also attached is a pic of John with his completely made from scratch motorcycle. Again, he designed and built the engine from scratch, cases.. jugs and all.
There are a lot of folks out there building all kinds of amazing things for sure.. but John truly is a one of a kind and I'm lucky to call him a friend.
