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....

RSV4....

Today our first 2010 RSV4 landed, man is it a coool bike! Sadly Sweden will only get a few of these machines so the importer will not let us have a demo-bike and I will not be able to spend this summer on the back of one, atleast not at the moment....

DP says: Awesome bike and I'll ride one this summer, believe me....

This thing rocks my world...

DP says: Please, please KTM send one my way ASAP.....

Hennings Splitty...

Went by good friend Hennings workshop to take a look at his Splitty PickUp, untouched exterior and some nice stuff underneath....

DP says: Feel the need, the need for a V-Dub...

Project update....

Dee-Dee Ducati is in serious need of an exhaust, last summer she was way to loud so I talked to the nice guys at Hard Parts, they supplied a Mivv RSV GP pipe in carbon and Chrisse at Italia Bike found me a used manifold, now Indian Guru Benny Åkerlind at Strul MCC will work his welding magic on it all....

YZ 490 Street Tracker is slowly coming together, I just picked up a set of Suzuki aloy rims 19" front & 18" rear that looks just right....

Just-4-Fun Piaggio Ciao is the latest bunch of parts to hit the workbench at Mosta Hill, one late night in the workshop looking at a Piaggio Ciao frame and a bunch of BMX parts got the creative juices flowing and now I'm just waiting for the relaced rear wheel, Ciao hub with 20" BMX rim to match the front BMX wheel, this thing will be a hooot....

LTO Project this is what it's all about, I just have to get this thing on the road, it's awesome and will be a monster to drive...

DP says: Just what's going on while the snow is coming down....

Mom's got a Benz...

Since my mom's Mitsubishi was written of by the insurance company after she got sideswiped we have been looking for a new whip for her, a couple of weeks of searching Blocket we finally found this nice looking 2003 A140 Benz so now she'll be crusing in style....

DP says: Mom's got a car with a star.....

Gasoline Magazine...

Yesterday we had some long awaited spring action at Mosta Hill, Mattias of Swedens finest Hot Rod rag Gasoline Magazine came by to shoot som pix of the LTO Project for an upcoming issue, this means that I now must get this thing on the road for the 25'th anniversary Mälaren Runt so I can represent....

DP says: Great rag! Cool dude! Thanx Mattias.....

Status Update Anxiety....

A brand new three-letter acronym (SUA) for those who can't stay away from Blogger, Twitter and Face Book, just what we need....

DP says: What? Who? Me? Nooooo.....

This is stupid...

Sure there's nothing like a winter with snow but this is starting to get silly and this weekend the Meteorologists are promising or should I say threatening with another 20 cm of the white stuff. What's with all this talk about global warming? where's it at? we need to go burn some fossil fuels ASAP or we all be stuck in the snow....

DP says: Who'll trade a Skoda PickUp for a tractor with a snow blade.....

Petrol Scooter Magazine....

Good friend and all around wild & crazy scooter dude Paul ItaljetDragster.com Robinson who on his last visit to Stockholm spent a couple of days in jail at Långholmen has relaunched his now web based scooter magazine Petrol and there's the story on one of my favourite toys, The Formula. She's been around since 2001 and more than once I have lost all interest and parked her in a corner but every time I roll her out I just fall in love all over, she's a looker....

DP says: Paul you'r my hero....

Saab + Spyker = True....

First Koeningsegg wanted to buy, then GM decided to close it down, now Spyker is the new owner who ever thought that.....

DP says: Can't wait to see the result.....

The Formula...

Again the girl is going to get her story told, a couple of years ago Mange Jensen of Swedish (now defunct) Street Fighter rag Bomber Magazine shot some real cool pix for a story he wrote, now good friend and PVC-Scooter freak Paul ItaljetDragster.com Robinson who did the first story just after she rolled out in May 2002 for Twist & Go Magazine will again feature her this time in the relaunch of his web-magazine Petrol with the pix shot by Mange....

DP says: Don't ever get tired looking at her, I like....

This is insane.....

Coldest winter in years where's the global warming? Since New Year's Eve the temp has not been above -14 celsius at Mosta Hill and the night between tuseday & wednesday it hit -27, that's f*ckin COLD!! good thing is no frozen water pipes and Diesel Doris starts all the time since she got a new battery from Santa. Right now I just feel like doing like the bear and go hybernate untill spring rolls around. Mosta Hill is frozen but it's my frozen paradise...

DP says: Soon, verry soon the sun comes out and it's bike weather again, I think....

2010 here we go.....

2010 just-4-fun Ciao BMX project.....

2009 was easily put a mixed bag of trix, heart faliure, hospital time, drugs (for my heart), Dee-Dee Ducati was finished and ridden, DP Race Tech Shop Hack Mk II was picked up and plans were made for her. I spent a bunch of time on a 09 Vespa GTS 300 ie and just loved it and inbetween that it was work, work, work and more work, I'm not complaining there are way to many that don't have a job to go to. Also during the year new friend were made both IRL, Strul MCC and the "Ol Boys" there have become a place I often visit, and through this Blog Stellan Egeland over at Vardagsmighty and I have been playing phone tag for a while now and some others have become "viritual bros" like Speed Junkies, Blood Falcons, Rocket Garage & Trailer Park Limo. Bloggin' around I have those daily must check, Church of Choppers Bubble Visor Sideburn Shinya Kimura, can't wait to see that MV done, Den of Sportsters Attack Choppers Tant Sprit and Chop Cult. We also did our own new Blog Skåpbil 4 Ever, I also want to give a shout to all my friends over at Aprilia Forum, La Famigilia Aprilia Svezia Svenska Scooter Klubben and Svenska Ducati Klubben, whoever said: The Internet is just a passing fad.......

Project status at Mosta Hill is as follows: Dee-Dee Ducati is getting some updates, new headlight, brake & clutch pumps, carbon fibre, exhaust, a new clutch and some other stuff. DP Race Tech Shop Hack MkII aka Diesel Doris will have lowering springs, Alfa Romeo rims, stripes & stickers fitted by Hot Rods by Max early spring. ZY 490 Street Tracker still in early stages so we'll see where it goes. Project LTO well I'd love to get around to it during 2010. There's also Lucy Vespa and a new just-4-fun Ciao BMX project that will (hopefully) roll during 2010 and I'm still looking for that decent Volvo T22 or T24 tractor to Hot Rod...

To all of you that have visited during 2009, a big thanx and hope to see ya again soon, to those of you who I have had contact with during 2009, hope to keep it up even 2010 and I look forward to making new friends world wide, 2010 will rock!!!!!

DP says: Happy New Year......
