Smile Happy New Year from Sweden

Hi guys, long time since...

Currently I have no motorcycle but I'm planning to start a bike project in the future. I'll soon retire and will have more time to be in the garage. The garage has been upgraded with a lot of old and well used machines for the play-phase.

I've been renovating a couple of mopeds for fun and as a training exercise for a bike renovation. I still remember the great CBR1000F with pleasure and wouldn't be sorry to own one in the future.

Cheers!

Very nice looking projects you got there! It'd be interesting to see what could you do with a 1000F.

Apparently you live somewhere near a Biltema got that exact same stool, tripods and bench grinder myself

Thanks m8 !

The grinder is from Se verktyg och maskiner från Verktygsboden. but the rest is BT-stuff.

One of my first bikes was a CBR 1000F. I was one of the best bikes I've ever own and it gave a lot of pleasure. This picture was taken on the way home from a track day at Gelleråsen, Karlskoga.

Nice to see you, R1, and happy new year to you as well.
I like your shop. I need to get a bigger one.

So how do you think team sweden will do in hockey this year? You guys have so many awesome players. Lundqvist, sedin, backstrom, eriksson, franzen, steen, zetterberg????
That's just a few! Their whole roster looks like that. It's unbelievable. Wtf do you guys eat over there?

Not a CBR but at least one old bike in the garage to produce blue smoke from time to time...
