- I have never had any direct interest in riding a motorcycle.
I like this better.
Here you have time to see and experience more, says Reine Karlsson.
He and his friend Jan Kjerrulf rent a garage in the old locomotive sheds in Boden.
There, old mopeds and cars can share the limited space.
- We built a loft to get more space, but it became quite fast too, says Karlsson.
Bought a "relapse moped" as a 30-year-old
He started driving a moped when he was 15 years old, but then his interest died abruptly and then gained new momentum when he would turn 30 years old.
- Then I bought my first recoil moped.
A Monarped with belt drive, says Reine Karlsson.
After that, he was stuck.
"0.8 horses who want to taste the green grass"
Jan Kjerrulf's interest cannot be missed either.
- The soul has time.
You have a lot more time for impressions.
You have time to both see and hear what you have around you.
It is much more harmonious than riding a motorcycle, he says and kicks off the moped:
- There are 0.8 horses that want to go out and taste the green grass.
He's got the look.
Reine Karlsson in Boden loves her retro mopeds.
