Harsh contrasts

Been having snow and sunshine in a strange mix lately, but it’s finally looking brighter and I’m trying to enjoy the sunshine and layering of clothes in the cold wind.

As soon as the temperature can stay a bit over freezing day and night it’s time to throw on the bags and get the camping gear on the bike and head out.

Addicted

My obsession comes in phases, right now I’m deep in a white helmet addiction.. it might be so that the white is the new matte black.

Another thing is that leather jackets are gaining a much higher status in my wardrobe lately. So versatile and looks good on any bike.

Do you have an obsession I need to look into? Please don’t say feet..

Born in the shadows

Lights on a bike are usually a big telltale on their age and that was one of the first things I wanted to change on the NX and bring it in to the modern age.

The oversized red plastic tail light had to go and the B6 led brake light from @denali_electronics was a perfect replacement. Bright, slim and also not red when off.

This little change for sure made the bike look much newer..

Unboxing

This was a good box opening, the summer gear to match the @husqvarnamotorcyclescandinavia upcoming loaner is starting to arrive.. and a graphical version of one of last years favorites, the @bell_powersports Moto-9 Flex feels like a solid pick.

Really loving how some motorcycle manufactures team up with well known brands to do their own line of gear. And Husqvarna is for sure part of that group, the @ride100percent goggles to match is damn nice!

Question is what bike would this look good on?

Working from home

Can’t complain over an office like this, being mobile and not bound to strict 9-to-5 times is a blessing when the sun is starting to bring some heat.

@alexandercsvensson is making the most of his little office setup on wheels.

Off-center

Been waiting to update my @quadlockmoto mount with the vibration dampener since I was gonna change the bars. It proved to be a bit harder to get it to blend in as good as I had it on my last bars.. but think I found a good solution now with it hovering just above the Speedo off-center to the right.

Would love a custom mount as the one @thorntonhundredmotorcycles did on their triumph utilizing the riser mounts and getting things more symmetrical.. always room for improvement!

Triple A

New season and new gear is a always a welcoming sight especially when things are getting slimmer and lighter but retaining or even getting a higher safety rating than before.

I’ve been riding in @ridejohndoe_official gear the last season and been super happy with their approach to safety and style. And the latest AAA certified single layer jeans is for sure a nice addition!

Blending the borders between everyday wear and motorcycle clothes..

Green of envy

Seems like no matter what season where in there is always an urge for what you don’t have. Right now I’m dreaming of deep green lush forests.. tomorrow it’s probably something els..

Oh, and please bring on the moto jersey temperatures.. NOW!

Black, gold and white

Matching outfit with the bike colors is never a bad idea.. as long as it’s not one of those hot pink sport bikes. Never go full on Power Rangers!

Digging deep

Sun drenched memories of sweat and sand in an awesome mix. This was almost exactly a year ago, sadly we are not blessed with the same weather right now.. ice cold winds and snow fall today.

More time for dreaming and planning things..

Chasing golden skies Long live the golden hour an

Chasing golden skies

Long live the golden hour and the evening rides to nowhere. I’m not really a morning person and love the late night editing session with music blasting and the darkness outside as company.. especially after ending the day with a ride into the sunset.

High tides and good vibes I think it’s time for

High tides and good vibes

I think it’s time for a beach visit soon again. It’s as close as I can get to a desert around here.. at least in amount of sand in one place.

Break the routine Finally a brake in the daily gr

Break the routine

Finally a brake in the daily grind and some Easter vacation from the 9-to-5 to get more fresh air and do all the things you said you should do once you have time..

For me that is finishing off my bike shed and finally getting a bit more organized.. and then all the family projects around the house and if all goes well a lot of time on two wheels..

Choices Even with just two bikes running I’m st

Choices

Even with just two bikes running I’m still finding my self struggling with what bike to ride when heading out. Even when I know this I’m constantly looking at other potential investments (that’s what you need to pitch them as). But in reality I think the only thing I need more of right now is time.

More time for riding, more time for shooting and more time for the family.. it’s not an issue easy equation..

Make it count Taking the last dirty rides before

Make it count

Taking the last dirty rides before the bike becomes much more street only. Starting to look forward to morning coffee runs and curvy country roads for this summer.

But also adding the luggage again and doing some longer rides would be sweet. Bit it all depends on how fuel economy and range will be after the changes..

Suit up What’s your style of clothing? Big logo

Suit up

What’s your style of clothing? Big logos and bright colors? I think everything has it’s place and time but I do always gravitate towards a muted earthy color palette with a lot of black.. it just always looks good, no matter what bike you ride!

And the ability to jump between styles and mix for the occasion is really fun and makes it a bit more interesting.. only thing I currently don’t own nor ever owned is a race suit, think most other forms of motorcycle clothing I got covered.

But a full leather suit for sure needs it’s bike and place..

Ride, shoot, repeat

The excitement and anticipation for this season is all time high right now. So many things are falling in to place and if the world could calm down a couple of notches also I’m pretty sure this season will be a damn good one.

Even if that’s not gonna happen I’m determined to live the mantra ride, shoot and repeat for sure.. and make the most out of what we have!

Kill your darlings

It’s always in the details where the big pictures is made.. I have a tendency to obsess over details and if something doesn’t feel right I need to changes it.

And at this point I’ve gone through everything on this bike over and over and carefully selected the parts I wanted.. so changing now feels really double-edged but sometimes you need to kill your darlings..

Step One Taking the first step is always the hard

Step One

Taking the first step is always the hardest and takes the most courage especially changing something you really like.. but I have a clear picture in my head where I’m going and I believe in it. But the bike will for sure look a bit strange in this in between stage and things might not 100% make sense before all puzzle pieces are in place..

First up is getting a new set of bars fitted. Went with a @renthal_street Street Fighter bar, a little higher and slightly more pullback for a little more upright position.

Loving the little drill jig for making the positioning holes for all the controls. And as always measure twice drill once..

Time is here

This weekend will be the starting point of the work with the scrambler. Damn exited and can’t wait to start showing the progress and what will happen.. will be a slow transformation as parts are still coming in and being made. But I just can’t wait more now..
