Happy Holidays!
I hope you all have some great Christmas holidays! Here in Norrköping it was warm enough today to take a Christmas-spin! At least two bikes were out and about today, I saw a Ducati Monster and a Jap-bike of some kind. Incredible! Probably the first time since decades one could ride on Christmas Day in this hemisphere. Last year at this time there was at least half a metre of snow, and riding seemed like a far away dream of another time… .
Anyway, my beloved spoiled me this Christmas with some essential accessories for the garage months

Aiming for Manx Grand Prix 2012
That’s what we are doing. And how about you?
Let me post a nice slow motion shot from last year’s GP with racing bikes below. Besides, much better weather they have there, too. At least in comparison to us right now. I mean, honest, as a motorcyclist, does one need winter?! Yes, winter is quality time for repairs, you might say. But. Do you really use winter for that? Is it not rather so that about two weeks before the season starts you realise “oh, sh…, I should have fixed this and that”? I mean, where otherwise do all these accumulated emergency-repair-jobs at workshops in April result from? So. As a motorcyclist one does not need winter, if you ask me. Our two-wheeled friends decide anyway themselves when it is a convenient time (to them) for breaking down. And if you are lucky enough, you get some notice. And if not, well.
Therefore, enjoy the cold period of the year to dream up some nice trip for next summer. Just like we do.
Merry Christmas, everyone! 
Hugo is ready for next season!
Just wanted to share that I have now one working motorcycle! My v50 III got a proper service by Janne at Italia Bike Center in Arboga. There was not much to fix, luckily, but since I had no idea when it last got served by a dealer, I let Janne take a look at it. He is an expert with Guzzis, and one of the few mechanics in Sweden who really know their shit when it comes down to these old models.
Here some pictures of Hugo in front of Reijmyre Glasbruk, where we stopped on a Sunday tour.

Café Racer at its finest
Something to warm the heart with after the first night of proper frost and freeze in our area.
Happy Friday!

Oma rocks!
“Oma” is the German word for “Grandma” – so I thought this is quite a cool number plate. Who knows, maybe granny actually is setting off with this one?
