YZ 490....

Finally after spending some time searching Blocket, Enduro MX & E-bay I found an 1985 Yamaha YZ 490 ex Håkan "Carla" Carlqvist machine!!!! This will be a Mosta Hill winter project running beside Lucy Vespa, the monster air cooled 2-stroker will be something along the lines of a street tracker, or something, so now I need SR500 wheels, Fs1 fueltank, NCCR XR seat, UFO Vintage number plates, handlebars and a bunch of stuff....

Mods vs Rockers 2009...

Two "trailer queens" beeing unloaded....

Muscle Machine, right on...Dee-Dee Ducati by herself.. Peppe's TriTon looks alot like his NorPrilia!?!?!?!Coolest bike all day.....Mopeds Rule!!!Need I say more....½ size Guzzi....Two cool 4-wheeled rides...

Yesterday me and Dee-Dee Ducati went to town to beat the crap out of a shitload of Mods on Vespa, Lambretta and other not so mannly rides, we joined in with the Rocker Crew but sadly Dee-Dee is a bit too young (I like my girls young), the Rocker organizers has set a pre 79 limit on non Britt, Euro Trash bikes although I saw a load of new Triumph in the lineup, me and Dee-Dee joined in on the ride anyway and it was a blast riding on to S.t Eriksbron stopping up all trafic and meeting the Mods, ready to rumble. We all, Mods & Rockers joined up for a ride through at sun drenched Stockholm to Nytorget for the lineup & count, Rockers won by 2 rides. At Nytorget I had the chance to hang with a bunch of friends and cool people. A huge THANX goes out to Lambretta Club Stockholm and Ton Up Club Stockholm for a great day, although I felt a bit like an outsider but next year I'll be rolling on Lucy Vespa with the Mods Crew....

Some pix from this last week...

First Peppe from Raven MC came by with his ultra cool NorPrilia, frame based on a Norton Featherbed fitted with an Aprilia RSV Mille Rotax V-Twin, Cafe Racers don't get much better than this....Yesterday & today (Saturday) has been spent at Strul MCC for the 24'th anual Mälaren Runt Run, Dee-Dee Ducati did her first public outing and she played well with all. Did some serious looking around for a new headlight for the girl and it's a toss up between Harley V-Rod & Night- Rod, both look great and time will tell what I'll fit. There were a ton of cool bikes and some that caught my eye was the Flower Power Electra Glide, a tribute to the 40'th anniversary of Woodstock maybe, the Indian with brass seat and don't get me going on the Vespa with sidecar, that thing rocks my world...Last but not least, Kent Ryssen Farman of Norrvalla MC had no googles for night riding so we went by a gas station and picked up these faboulus protective googles so he could hit the road for the 120km ride hom in the rain, looking good there dude!!!!!

DP says: Great couple of days, new friends made and I really like the company...

Dee-Dee Ducati...

First outing for my girl today, better late then never. I got her finished enough to roll on the road, sounds awesome, looks like you'll expect a stripper named Dee-Dee to look, slightly used but a sight for sore eyes, I'm in love!!! Now I have to go over all bolts so she'll be ready for her first public exposure, Mälaren Runt and later on Saturday nite it's Wheels Magazine Stockholm Crusing and I hope the girl will make a bunch of new friends....

DP says: Sadly not been able to get her done untill now but WTF....

DP Shop Hack Mk II....

Since the Shop Hack Skoda has been retired Diesel Doris has arrived to take it's place as Shop Hack at Mosta Hill, she's a Turbo Diesel, big, white........ refrigerator?!?!?!?
.
DP says: Stay tuned....

Thanx Shop Hack....

Time is not always good to us, some age slowly, some quickly, some have surgery and that is what the DP Race Tech Shop Hack Skoda is in seriuos need of, rust and neglect has caused her to look sad, used and abused, the choice was finding someone that could do the welding and getting the girl back in shape again but sadly I have decided it's not worth it, sorry baby! Now what will happen no one knows, it's talk about Hood Ride it, someone want to buy it but for now the Skoda will stay at Mosta Hill....

DP says: Shop Hack Mk II is already in da house, stay tuned....

A Vespa moved in....

As I said earlier the Vespa disease is spreading, wine & spirits guru Ingela found an ad for a 84 Vespa PK 80, it did not run but looked OK so she bought it on the picture and the other day she came over to show off her find she calls Marängen, we went to Hot Rod Max for some of his mechanical wizardry, he kicked and pushed to start it but no go, sat down and looked at it and said: Woodruff Key, the flywheel was removed and sure it was broken, replaced it and kicked it over 3 times then Max looks at Ingela and ask did you remove the key?? It started on the first try after the igniton was turned on. Looking closer it had a Polini 125cc cyllinder, Polini reed intake with Dellorto carb and a Polini "banana" exhaust so the Vespa turned out to be one hell of a buy....
