A legend's gone...

I usually don't do this but when I heard Dennis Hopper's gone I had to. I have had the Easy Rider poster framed and on the wall for years, I have also met the man in his Venice house some years back and all those movies, Easy Rider, Blue Velvet, Inside man, The last ride, L.A.P.D To Protect and Serve, Ticker, Waterwold, True Romance, Colours, Hoosiers, Apocalypse Now, Rebel Without a Cause, I can go on for ever. Dennis will truely be missed by more people than me....

Art for art's sake...

More Carbon...

Skitskraj & Ducati Monster Bro Bertil came by to show off his latest 2-wheel wonder, this Carbon masterpiece made by Kardan i Italy is almost as cool as a Ducati, but only almost, ask Bertil! I guess he wishes he had a motor and a wider seat....

DP says: Nothing beats some nicely laid carbonfiber....

The Hammerite Special....

Just a quick tease, the Piaggio Ciao has changed name to The Hammerrite Special since it's painted Hammerrite Black (duuhhh) and finally I have found those elusive 127mm rear wheel spokes by way of Suzuki in Japan (Thanx DinMC), now Cykel Doktorn just have to lace up the rear wheel but otherwise it's done, BMX meets Piaggio Ciao moped and it all get outta hand....

DP says: Just for fun, just for the hell of it......

Feel honored....

The other day I was asked by the Church of Choppers / FTW Ride Crew to contribute to the FTW Ride Sweden Blog, I'll do my best....

DP says: Looking forward to alot of riding this summer....

Carbon & primer....

Dee-Dee Ducati is getting close to evolution 2010, still the exhaust has to be welded up, a new headlight decided on and all brake and clutch lines be changed to new black spun stainless TRW from the crew at HardParts. Helmet #63 came by way of Fritte Bergs Turken over at Garage24 a cool & light HJC FS-10 in raw carbon, Dee-Dee got some new cam belt covers and clutch cover also in raw carbon from Alien Moto, the new Mivv exhaust is also carbon so soon Dee-Dee Ducati is a primer & carbon stripper, my dream girl.......

DP says: THANX to the crew @ Church of Choppers for the stickies....

Scooter mania...

Has hit again, this time dear friend Kerstin got the "bug" and after some Blocket.se surfing she found a sweet 1984 Vespa PK 125 Automatica that she bought and quickly named Tomaten, during the winter it has been fitted with a bunch of chrome, rims, wire hupcaps, rear rack, brake levers, mirrors and to give it that Cadillac feel a white seat and grips. Tomaten is here hangin' with my 2010 summer scooter a Piaggio X7 250ie, a great ride....

DP says: What's with all these Vespa owners around me....
