Originally a sheet metal worker. First rode a
speedway bike at a home-made track outside Stockholm at the age
of 16.
Made his 2nd half debut at the Gubbangens Idrossplatt,
Stockholm in 1960. He is the eldest of the three brothers. While
still at school in Stockholm, Bengt became interested in speedway
and saw his first ever shale meet when he was only seven.
That meeting stuck in his mind and at every opportunity
he would creep up to the safety fence and watch the riders whizzing
past.
