Svensk midsommar :)

Suzuki Tzar

For Ola, from me, from a friend who knows the guy with the bike. Eh...

Tokyo flight

I went for a little flight with a friend living in my building who's got a pilots license, really really spectacular to see Tokyo from birds eye perspective, it's huge of course, dense to say the least and it also gives you a little remainder of your own size and importance on this planet...

Tamiya prototype...

Perfect friday night at home! 

Carr Magazine

If you're interested in car and bike design sketches there's an excellent mag made by a mate of mine called Carr Magazine, my diesel-Zoomer is now sporting a fancy sticker from named mag and the attention and interest from the Tokyo-leute is immense to say the least, I reckon it has boosted sales of the forth edition beyond imagination.

Marek, how about sending over some mags in return for this free advertising? Same address as last time, thank you very much! ;)

Also, check the sketchsite at simkom.com

RC166 progress

Made a little bit of progress on the Tamiya RC166 last week, got some red paint on the tank and tail, looks good but I think one more layer would be even better. It's just... you know, I'm bound to screw it up if I paint one more time and then I have to sand it down and shit and I'll be pissed off with myself and it'll be standing on my desk for another few weeks and so on... To paint one more time or to not paint one more time, that is the question. 

Btw, saw a nice sportster a few days ago, I'm no Harley fan, but this stuff I like! 

Traffic...

This is how it looked leaving Tokyo this morning, would like to say that it was worth it but there was people and stupid cars everywhere and finally it started raining and we came back home soaked. That's what you get from messing with the first official holiday of Golden week...

Btw, Zoomer is fixed and well again :)

Zoom-bada-boom!

I'm a moron. Just bought a used Honda Zoomer (Ruckus) from a friend at work, perfect for scooting around town, slow but kinda fun. First time at the gas station I got a bit confused cause I always use the high octane petrol for the Ducati, but there's a regular option aswell as diesel. I wanted to get regular for the Zoomer, but in a flash state of imbecilliness I didn't bother to ask which one of 3 options it was. Yellow I know, it's the high-octane. That leaves green and red. Red felt like a caution/warning color in my mind at this moment and I didn't want any trouble so I picked green. That was my only real argument for picking green, wtf?? On the way back home it got quite clear that green is diesel. Why oh why is it so difficult to ask first...

 Zoomer.

Diesel.

Moron.

The Ducati is running fine though, new chain and stuff, going riding the coming days, will put together a riding vid of that hopefully. It's a long time since I posted anything of the Duc so here's a iphone pic of her showing off the new gold chain. 

CB and be em dub

Dirty 'shop of the seat and rear light which we plan for the CB, seat plate is done and we have a good contact for making it this time. Hopefully... 

 And the BMW got new tires, we likey!

I'm bored...

I'm on the way back to Japan, waiting for my transit-flight at the airport in Moscow. It's really no fun at all here. So I dug out some weird old pics that me and some friends did a few years back after coming up with the concept: Anabolympics. The idea is simple, it's fully allowed and encouraged to go all out with any type of doping, epo, steriods, anything goes! Surely there's an public interest to see how far the human body can be pushed and what records can be set. I imagine a scenario where the 100-meter runners are brought out to the track by forklifts since their bodies will be so unbelievable pumped up that they can't carry their own weight. They would of course be madly explosive runners, but basically completely spent after those 100 meters...

Here's a few of the ones we did back then. Unfortunately I can't find the original description of the characters and their type of doping, they all had names and explanations and stuff, hilarious stories. Anyway, first out: the classic one of focusing on only one part of the body...

Same here actually, but the poor guy to the right, although massively strong, did up the wrong arm...

Aahh, sometimes there are hormone side effects to those little pills...

Ha ha, I love this one, 1938, when people still did the scissor style!

Advanced stuff: the muscle-morphing style, making sure that you have the power where you need it althrough the shot-put... thing... throw.

And the more primitive version just mating man and bear for brute force! Hard to imagine the paws in those shoes though...

Shit, this only took 15min to do, still got hours left before boarding...
