Woke to a nice sunny morning. Another slow start to the day as we are heading to Sollentuna for mid-morning. Di is going to get her hair done by a hairdresser recommended by Mia. While Di and Elin disappeared in to the hairdressers, Jim, Johan and I had a walk around the Stinson Shopping Centre. Last time we were here it was still only under construction with only a few shops open but now it has grown considerably . We went and met the girls and Di's new hair cut looks terrific.
On the top of the hill above the lake there is an art gallery with these very impressive sculptures outside.
Close to the art gallery I came across this interesting looking building and it took me a while to work out what it was. I suppose I was in a mind set that didn't expect to find a motor cycle museum in this location but what a little gem it turned out to be.
The museum is built on two levels with a central atrium with this spiral display of bikes in the middle.
All of the bikes are in pristine condition and beautifully displayed. There aren't as many bikes as at the National motor bike museum in the UK but this display is with out doubt the better.

I'm not sure what this was but it looked special.
A 1961 Vincent Rapide 1000cc V-Twin.
A 1960 AJS 7R racing bike, 350cc single.
A 1968 500cc single Velocette Clubman.
My favourite bike of all time, a 1965 500cc single Velocette Thruxton.
A 1974 Rickman-Triumph 650cc twin Cafe Racer.
A 1986 Ducati Mille 973cc V-Twin.
A 1999 Egli-Vincent 1000cc V-Twin
The name says it all.
A pretty Aermacchi 350cc racer.
Afternoon fika and Di's new hair cut. Looking good!
Back in Annesdal, I shortened the rad cables to the lights above the dinning table and helped Jim to reduce the height of the dinning bench, which was made easy with the new circular saw.
