Casual

Keeping it clean and simple for the around town spin. Just wished there where more things to actually use as destination around here sometimes.

It’s forest and fields that dominate around here.. getting an urban feel is not the easiest task. Small town issues I guess..

Hideout

Mixing up the helmet selection, not all helmets in my little collection is retro or off-road helmets.. I have this one also.

I bought this Shoei RF1200 as a commuter helmet to use for the everyday beating. And to this date this is still the helmet I rank highest in comfort and feel overall. Quiet and stable at speed.. just an all round great helmet, and for being a somewhat sport bike helmet it doesn’t look to bad either.

Also, yes! I wear sunglasses under tinted visors. For sunny or partly cloudy days it works the best for me, I don’t find the tinted visors to be tinted enough to keep the sun out of my eyes. Especially when you are used to having a peak to block the sun completely..

Reflection

Looking back is not always a bad thing, @uglybros_usa posted the first image they ever reposted from me back in 2017 today. It’s sure been a wild ride since then and so much have happened but some things stays the same.. my UglyBros pants still hold a special place in my wardrobe.

I bought me first pair in 2017 when I was on a work trip to California and managed to do a pit stop at the Ducati dealer in Hollywood. I more or less lived in those pants after that.. I still have them but these Featherbed-K in these shoots have taken over as my favorite pair.

Back roads

Where did the summer go?! Been raining for days now and temps have dropped significantly.

I don’t mind riding in the rain but it sure adds a layer of complexity. And if the option is given to wait for some dryer weather I’ll take that right now especially with the scrambler..

The NX is still out of the game with the wiring all exposed, when one thing needs to be fixed it usually brings on a couple of more tings that is good to do at the same time.. so new ignition lock solution and new left side switches is on the menu.

Seven Zero One

Can’t deny that the Svartpilen looks damn good In this setting. There is something with the modern retro thing that really appeals to me.

Could really see this bike with a full black plastics kit and some other small changes would really push it in to almost Nuda territory..

On the line

So close on having all parts ready to start the process of change. Just picked up the new tank! So damn exited about the new look.. but at the same time gonna miss this look.

Only thing holding me back right now is to get the bike through the yearly service before changing to much..

Around the block

Taken the evening ride without any real destination is my new favorite routine. Close the computer and just go.. to day it had a destination tho, picked up the screws for the mirror clamps.

Getting closer and closer to finally being ready with this project. Next up is to figure out shipping.. probably my least favorite subject since I moved back to Sweden. It’s slow and expensive here.. got so spoiled with the fast and to the door shipping in Cali.

Location scouting This parking structure been on

Location scouting

This parking structure been on my shoot list for so long and needed a little scouting before some upcoming projects. I can only say this place is better than I thought.

I need to start to refill my Google Maps saved tab again. If you live around Gothenburg or the west coast and know a good location please drop a line in the DMs. Can always trade some scouting shots for a Google Maps pin.

Hello yellow

Fresh pair of gloves and a whole lot of asphalt. What not to love about that?!

Current weather could be summed up with “looks like summer, feels like winter in the wind”.. but, as long as it stay dry I’m happy. And even better news is that planning has kicked off for the first longer trip of the year, so needed now!

Classic

This setup is hard to beat.. the scrambler and a Moto 3 goes hand in and hand for me especially with the high front fender look. And see I don’t only own black or white helmets!

Stay golden

Evening spin to the land of golden fields and lonely roads. What I dream off sitting in front of the computer all day..

And in other news, looks like a big piece to the puzzle is arriving this week. So damn hyped on this one..

Black on black

“When in doubt go black”.. it’s the boring and easy choice but it’s also looks damn good! I never really intended this bike to be all black it’s just been the way things have happened but I do have started to sketch ideas for something new.

Now I just need to wait for the temperatures to rise a bit so I can paint in my paint booth aka the great outdoors. Use what you have and make the most of it.

Into the unknown

Might be the image that describes the road ahead right now. Nothing is really clear more than what’s here right now.

What’s clear is the solution to the ignition switch tho.. going the upgrade solution with a
mo.lock from @motogadget as I have one that was originally meant for my SR500. A weekend spent with wiring is never a dull weekend..

Slow moving

Been a huge set back on the weather front and when it finally looked a little better my ignition lock on the NX has completely given up.

So, time for next upgrade ASAP! Anyone has any tips on something good and potentially better to switch the old ignition lock for?

Hold tight Jumping in to the questions from today

Hold tight

Jumping in to the questions from today’s Q&A soon. Been super busy this weekend getting my little bike shed done and ready for one more bike.

It will be a tight squeeze but really looking forward to getting my hands on this bike.. will see what kind of changes we can sneak in with out breaching any contracts.

The Scrambler is still waiting for delivery of parts to get further in the transformation..

Open roads Getting closer and closer to the point

Open roads

Getting closer and closer to the point where the bags need to be mounted again and a destination chosen.

Would love an alp crossing to be part of this years travel but hard to make any plans yet. The good news is I’m seeing more and more people posting about they are getting vaccinated so hopefully things will settle down soon.

Face off

I’m for sure more comfortable behind a helmet or even better behind the camera. This pandemic has brought some strange habits and things in to our lives.. for me it’s the little hamster shaped fur thing.

Soon time to get back to normal habits I hope..

Thinking of claiming this place as mine and making it into my bat cave. Just need a little cleanup..

Unbreakable

We just had snow/rain pouring down and the little pre-summer vibe only lasted for a couple of days.. but it was so well needed and now nothing can break us as we got the taste of what’s coming!!

Shadow chaser

Making the most of the weather and keeping the camera going. Really enjoying being more behind the camera and getting views and shots I wouldn’t get my self.

This has opened up a whole set of new gear I “need”.. a wider lens is high on the list right now.
