To be honest some of the bikes are from countries around -- Like Germany and Denmark but 85 % or so is from Sweden.
Long winters and there is more garage time So it is a big hobby Be it cars or bikes
the joke -- Good way to save youngsters from Sport --and besides not all can play in Rock Bands

Some lovely old bikes there!

Even better, they are being ridden!

That is an amazing video. Just one after another being ridden into the line up. No trailer queens there.

As there was Indians in that lineup, it would be rude to not point out that Oscar Hedstrom, one of the founders of Indian Motorcycles was in fact born in Sweden. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Hedstrom

I think there are about 750 thousand ethnic Swedes in the U.S., including me. That’s interesting about Indian.

Edit: My guesstimate was off by a few million.
