Twin
Club MC is one of the oldest clubs in Sweden, it was founded in Norrtälje
in the spring of 1969.
The first clubhouse
were located in the southern parts of town, the so called "Bolkorna".
In 1977 the city let
us rent a bigger house at "Färsna" in the other end of the
town. The house was a mess, but being a pretty large club at that time it
soon was fixed up.
During this time the
club had the garage in the old steam brewery in the centre of town. This
was not a place we could stay in forever, so we started looking round for
a new place. We found out that the Swedish "Systembolaget", the
states alcohol sales organisation wanted to get rid of a building in Luleå
in northern Sweden. We bought it for 1 (one!) Sw. crown, pulled it down,
drove it to Norrtälje and rebuilt it here at a site we rented from
the town. In the winter of 1987 our new garage was ready.
Some years later we
found out that we had to leave the clubhouse in Färsna due to new restoring
needs and other building plans from the town. We decided that we were going
to build a new clubhouse on top of the garage, witch we did.
Having around 50 members
at this time, most categories of builders and such were to be found in the
club, and after about two years we opened our new clubhouse in 1994.
Today the club has around
40 members, male and female. Most members ride H-D, but there are also Indian,
Triumph, Norton and others in the garage.
Most of what we do relates to motorcycles in some way, but we also do some
sports and a lot of partys!
We also take a lot of
time to arrange one of the most well renown bike exhibitions in Europe,
Custom Bike Show. |
