Snow @ Mosta Hill...

Waking up to yet another snowy morning at Mosta Hill, when will it all end??? It must be atleast 3 or 4 winters since we had this much snow around here, right now trying to find a nice Volvo T22 to handle all the white stuff, I feel the need, the need for a tractor!!! 
Almost every night is spent with my bikes in the workshop and getting a bunch done so when spring rolls around I'll have some choices of rides, hopefully.....
Lately I have been surfing around and seen the LTO Project on a bunch of sites like Streetracker, Belladonna Trackers, Sideburn, Speed Junkies and even our own Swedish World Champ Bike Builder Stellan has given it his seal of approval so I guess doing a Speedway bike for the street is not as screwed up as everybody around me has soo nicely pointed out, and to all you out there that like it THANX....

LTO Left Turn Only...

Some have asked "when will LTO hit the streets", "is the project dead", "are you a chicken" etc. so I guess it's time to show some of the progress. Right now I feel the overall look is right on the $$$, Speedway but not really, don't wan't to do it the other way around since another Swede has already done that, the handlebars feel just right and finally tyres have been decided on, the rear is a 4.0-19" Avon Safety wich looks a bit fat but I like it, front was harder, there aren't a buch of 23" tyres to choose from, I don't want Speedway rubber and not the fat new Avon 23" so I went with bicycle, YES it's a Nokian tire from a Kronan, love the look but the handling!?!?!?! we'll see. What's left is some welding on the rear frame & tank, I have to finalize the decision on the rear brake so ISR can start making it, right now I like a sprocket brake with a 6-piston caliper if it can be made as large as 72 tooth. Then it's off to powdercoat and paint.

Dee-Dee Ducati....

Just got a batch of parts last week so this weekend I spent some time with my girl fitting adjustable 2-finger Titax brake & clutch grips, Valter Moto rear sets & gas cap all thanx to Boove.se but the coolest retro find of all time was a set of Supertrapp that Jonas @ Sunbike had just laying around, I just love the look of it. Thanx to all that support this project...
