Oh how I want a winter project...
So, Been looking at finn.no for fun stuff, and Lo and behold I found fun stuff!
Like this nice little FL 1200, bidding starts at 70K NOK...
Pictured below is by far the best starting point for a winter project I have found. cheap too..
Now I just need to find a nice donorbike..
Maybe this un-used 1340 EVO?
Or maybe this '55 Pan? would change out the frame though.. way to much rake for my liking..
oh well.. we'll have to see what the money gods say next year...

No posts for a while.. time to do something about that.
So.. I havent posted for a while, lots of stuff going on at work and at home so I been super busy..
Been riding my bike as much as the weather will permit, I aint going to ride it to work and leave it standing in the rain all day, I'd like to keep it as rust free as possible.. a hard task in this part of the country.
There is this other guy that works in the same building as me that rides an old p.o.s. Virago that leaks more oil than the Troll A platform and has a seat that is mostly duct tape.. now, if the guy rode it that ragged in all kinds of weather for the right reason, fine. thats cool. but his reasoning, its cheaper fuel-wise.. What the fuck man!? go get a prius and shut up allready. If your riding a bike purely for the economy of it then you missed something.
right, now that thats off my chest..
I'll try to get some images up this weekend of my bike and helmet with their new Death machine stickers! (thanks Kyle for the stickers and T-shirts.. but man oh man.. XL in the states is a fucking TENT here in Norway.. so medium stuff for me from now on.. )
so, for now.. my desctop background from my secondary PC at work.. something I threw together while waiting for renders to finish.. sorry to all the people whos websites I have pillaged to make it..and yea. .thats a jaguar x-type.. I like 'em.. I might buy one next year.. who knows..

New helmet? or new Jacket?
So, I got my birthday coming up (oh gods.. I'm old enough allready! let me off!)
And I'm considering giving my self a nice gift this year (again!)
so, here are my options..
This is my helmet, its a comfortable, practical helmet.
(Harley ghost flame modular helmet)
But I sooo like the look of the Bandit XXR!
And they just so happen to have them in stock at my Harley dealer.
so my dilema is this, my wife has already got a helmet (and my ghost flame is too big for her anyway) and the old helmet is in great condition and only 2 years old..
So I can't really justify getting a new one on the grounds of the old one not being good or safe enough (although the Bandit is a full face, so in theory it offers slightly better face protection..)
and it aint over there, see I've also been wanting a new leather riding jacket for ages (got a harley FXRG jacket at the moment..)
now unlike some people I don't just shake the money tree and buy stuff, I work damn har for the money I make so I can't just go out and get both..
urgh... choises..
Anyway.. IF I get a leather jacket, I've been looking into getting one of these.
I know its a racing jacket, but hey.. I like Corona!
hehe.. I could always get one of these.. but I preferr to have a helmet that actuly protects my head..

Project time!
Actually, waht the title should read is: What I am going to do when I have a spare $2995,-
Lying around and suddenly don't have shitloads to do on the house..
But mark my words.. a couple of years and I'll be opening boxes marked "parts"
