Hi there! I’m Dave, born in Chicago, Illinois, residing in Stockholm, Sweden since 1976. My great passion is arranging and leading Harley-tours in the USA for Scandinavians, and I’ve been doing it for a long time!

In the beginning, I arranged tours for myself and my buddies or family members, then I found myself arranging tours for myself, my buddies and their buddies etc.. The groups just got bigger and bigger and we all have a great time. Wonderful!

Nowadays, since I began working for Harley-Davidson here in Sweden 2009, constantly meeting bikers and motorcycle-enthusiasts longing to ride in the USA, interest in my special “beliefs” concerning just how a Harley-tour in the USA should be has really grown!

I believe in new Harley-Davidson motorcycles. (but other makes are also available)

I believe in small, intimate groups composed of people who enjoy each others company and want to have a great time together.

I believe in the experience of The Ride. Every mile, every minute in the saddle, is each tours main attraction.

I believe in country roads leading us to Main Street America, where the locals wave, say “good morning” and really mean it.

I believe in breathtaking landscape and natural scenic beauty. Places a biker can only dream of experiencing.

I believe in fun! Fun when we ride, and fun when we’re not riding! Raising a cold bottle of beer together, toasting the days amazing trip as our bikes ping, cooling off, outside the local bar.

I believe in good food and drink, Rock n’ Roll and comfy hotels all throughout the tour. Enjoying a “Truckers Breakfast” every morning at the local diner after putting a few hours riding behind us is a must!

I believe in a reasonably early start each morning, spontaneous “butt-breaks” every now and again, and arriving at our destination each late-afternoon around 4-5PM.

I believe in planned stops, visiting sights and attractions along the way, but only at places that could remotley interest a biker.

I don’t believe so much in:

  • one-way rides
  • doing 500+ kilometers a day
  • strict scheduling
  • chase cars
  • tents
  • stress
  • big cities (unless absolutely necessary)
  • interstate highways (unless absolutely necessary)
  • night-riding
  • being a charter tourist
  • marathon-shopping

Som en summering så är jag väldigt nöjd med resan, det här kommer att vara ett minne för livet. Grabbarna i gruppen har varit väldigt trevliga och Dave är helt enkelt en av de trevligaste och roligaste människor jag någonsin träffat 🥰.

Dessutom har vi träffat fantastiska människor under resan, roliga, hjälpsamma, givmilda och trevliga och det är väl dags att helt avliva myten om att Amerikaner är ytliga och okunniga. En superresa helt enkelt!
