FROM SWEDEN TO AMERICA, THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME

Brother Albin's visit to America

This journey began in February 2004 when Brother Albin was voted in as our first full European member of the Brotherhood of the Grey Beard Bikers.
On July 25, 2004 our BGBB Brother Albin arrived from Sweden in the United States at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport,   this will document his journey through several states and visits with some of the BGBB Members in America.


The six photo's below were taken during Brother Albins visit with Brother Sax50 in Dallas Texas.

This is Brother Albin's first ride on American soil, we hope he has many, many more, "Ride on Brother Albin"

Well Brother Albin is back in Sweden safe and sound, his visit in our country is over, but the memory of his visit will remain in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives.
I think his visit to our country has enriched our lives, and given us a once in a liftime chance to understand a little more about how bikers think and feel all over the world.
