For last couple of years I have been riding around on a Honda Ruckus/Zoomer. Made some short trips and two longer ones.
I am sorry to say that have not taking to many photos, but it is more fun to ride than taking photos.

Two summers ago I took a ride south, from Stockholm to Sjöbo and back again, to meet some friends. Around 1700km (1050 miles) there and back again. The photo quality is not good, but I used a disposable camera. I followed a the "Sweden Trail" a bicycle trail that goes from south to north of Sweden. It took me two days of riding to get down and two days to get home again.

Some kind of outdoor museum.

Last picture of that trip.
My but did not like me after four days in the sadle.

And last Summer I made the same trip again and took even less photos. But this time I did get me an Airhawk so my butt did not hate me so much.

An historical petrolstation.

On both these trips I did have a lovely weather.

And finaly last spring I took a shorter trip just north of Stockholm.
About 250km (155 miles).

Started early in morning.

Looking out on the beutifull Stockholm

The next pictures are from an old weapons factory "Wira bruk".
They started making weapons here around 1630 mostly swords and other sharpegded contraptions.

On the road again.

An old church.

Penningby castle.

An even older church.

Runestone

Thats all. I hope you enjoy my photos.
Feel free to ask anything.

Thanks for sharing and keep it up! Reminds me a lot of New England here in the States with quaint little villages and rural scenes. Just different architecture. Have a Karma on me! Aaron

What a beautiful country! Great pics and you have just put most of us to shame with evidence of all your wonderful rides. You did some serious scootin to cover more than 1K miles in TWO DAYS! We call the sore butt "Monkey Butt" here - maybe you do also. You can even buy powder and creams for the condition!

Most citys and villages have roads for bicycles here in Sweden, and you can drive your mopeds on them to. The weather is getting better, soon I will take a longer ride. Mvh J

The Swedes don't trash their countryside like Americans do. Very pristine country, looks almost untouched...

Hello again,
Got myself a MC-licence and sold my Ruckus/Zoomer. And I did not get me a new scooter, I got me a bike instead a Kawasaki KLE500.
But I am missing my old ride, so I have started to looking fo a scooter again. Not that the KLE is a bad bike, but...

King,

Just stumbled on this link. Great pictures! I really enjoyed your perspective and composition, let alone the beautiful subject matter.

I have both a scooter and a motorcycle, a Suzuki 700 Intruder. It's nice to have both. I'll bet you end up with a scooter again.
