Just another Saturday...

Started out with at trip to visit Janne & Chrisse at Italia Bike Center in Arboga to have a look at some hot new Ducati products, leaving with a Ducati sweatshirt and belt, those guys could sell freezers to Eskimoes...Then it was back to Enköping and over to bro Tony at Six Pack Customs where he had gathered some of his (and my) friends and customers to celebrate one year at his new shop. Lucka of NCRacing was there with his latest build, a Suzuki 2011 European Drag Bike Championship contender and as usual was Mad Man Ove Åkermann there burning rubber with his 900hp small block 32 Ford Coupe, thanx Tony for a great show.....

Tractor love...

Me and K decided to take a couple of days on Österlen, once there I found out there was a Ferguson TE20 Grålle Rally in Skåne Tranås that must not be missed. At Skåne Tranås we found a field of dreams, a field of Grålle tractors, restored, untoched with unbeleivable patina and even one with a home made wooden cab, cool.....
There were a bunch of differnt tractors there, one more awesome than the other....
But when it comes to tractors I prefer red heads and there's nothing like the Volvo T21, T24 and T25 series. I just have to get me one of these, preferably with serious patina, can you get more Hot Rod???There were also some nice bikes and mopeds attending....
...and cars including a Dodge Pick Up with some (painted on!?!?) patina and a personal plate with attitude....Cool stuff but what made the day was a Grålle stuffed with 12 cylinders of air-cooled Deutz motor, insane rear tires and an exhaust to be seen and heard!! The owner drove it around with an ear to ear grin, wonder why...Not really wanting to leave but all that's fun has an end, we then went shopping at a bunch of junk/vintage stores and this exercise bike caught my eye but cost as much as a decent T24, I'll have that instead...DP says: Nice weekend away from it all....

IKEA table Båten...

Started to surf for a cool looking motor for the boat, Stellan my ego mentor, World Champion Bike builder and all around bad influence commented that I must have a "tändkulemotor" to be cool enough but I remember those great looking black Mercury motors from my childhood, I just need one of those and I think I might just have found one. Well while surfing for pix of Mercury outboards from the 60-70's I found this one, if IKEA ever made a boat this would be IT...

Träbåtskärlek.....

Yesterday this little dinghy landed at Mosta Hill, now I have to start to scrape and varnish the little thing so next summer I can cruise Alsta Sjön on warm nights with a 6-pack at my side. Now all I need to find is an old Mercury 4.5 hp motor just like in the picture since looks in the boating world is supposedly verry important...
