The Streetfighter's home

Up-date

Just realised it's an awful loooong time since I last made a posting here.
2010.
Well, I had just bought the 748R in the last days of 2009.
We went through the track season together with some pain in the shape of an oil leak. A mysterious one. Took several track days before Lasse, a mate, finally solved the mystery which was a poorly tightened screw from the service at Halmstad Gustav. Fucking destroyed more than one day for me!!! (Oil leaking from cover into cylinder head behind cam belt cover - being drawn out and up by the wind as I was riding, onto the back of the cylinder and onto back wheel area).
Anyway.
Late summer Hauge's Pegaso is for sale. No, I'm not going to buy. Yes, I bought it a week later.
Fall, and I realise the Pasolini isn't quite satisfying my needs. I've been looking at Aprilia Falco ads on and off for several years. Find one in south of Sweden at the right price and only one previous owner. Turns out to be a really, really nice bike. What an engine!!!

December. Thoughts of new bikes replaces each other. Just as usual. Decide I will be tuning the heads of the 748R at well known English tuner. It will be great!!!
January 2011. Decide to fuck the tuning thoughts and go for 2010 Streetfighter instead. One previous owner and just under 2000 kms on the clock.
Februari 2011. Selling the Falco to a woman. Thinking about selling the Pegaso aswell. Should be thinking more about selling the 748R, but somehow that (previously) original game plan doesn't seem to be so bloody original any more...
Come on spring!!!!!!!!!
