A little bit warmer now compared to when the previous photo was taken :)

This was back in February, one of the first rides for me this year. Some smaller roads through the forests still had patches of snow on them, and the lake in the background was frozen. But most roads were dry and nice that day :)

Sweet! Looks great :)

Sorry to hear about your brother. I bet he had plenty of fun on that bike though :) Thanks for sharing!

Long ride today, 380-390km (about 240 miles). About 260 of those kms in a group ride event. Mostly small roads, ~100 bikes. Quite fun! On my way home from the group ride I passed Vittskövle slott (built 1553-1577), and it looked so beautiful in the evening sun that I had to stop for a photo.

Finally some nice weather and dry roads here in Sweden, so I took a little trip across the bridge to Denmark and Copenhagen :) Still quite chilly in the air so I'm glad I got the heated grips installed last year. I got lucky in November, the surgery I was supposed to get done (which I...

My local dealer said to me last week that he will get the 401 in about 4 weeks time, so end of February. In Sweden at least. And if the info he got is correct :)

My local dealer mentioned to me last week that a Svartpilen 801 will arrive this summer, so that'd be the 790 engine I guess :) And the 401 will arrive in 3-4 weeks, will be interesting to see what they look like IRL.

I sometimes have to try a couple of times before the selection 'sticks'. By that I mean that sometimes I get the 'Release button' message, but the TC light doesn't turn on indicating TC is off. Usually I just ride 10-20 meters more and then stop and try again and then it usually sticks. But I...

I've never tried a limited power version, but I'd guess you'll get the same effect as on a regular version, richer air/fuel ratio in low rpm and low throttle which helps getting rid of the stuttering in those situations. These dongles don't give any additional power, only richer fuel mix in...

It's a great bike :) Mine is stock except for an O2 sensor controller dongle, the slightly more advanced version of the fuel dongle. Main difference is that this version uses the input signal from the O2 sensor, the cheaper dongles don't do this and you'll have to remove the O2 sensor in order...

I thi I think Kev mostly make these for the big thumpers. Check his ebay store on the link in previous post if there's other versions available, or send him a mail through ebay and ask him. I think you can find him on the KTM forums as well.

Wednesday offered a sunny day for a change. Mostly rain and windy here this time of the year, and temperatures close to freezing some mornings as well. Winter is almost here! But I managed to get one last ride early afternoon. About 50/50 gravel/tarmac. A couple of places along the gravel roads...

No, haven't bothered really :) Been too busy with non-motorcycle related issues for several months now so when I get to spend time with my two wheeled baby I just ride her :) And it's pretty discreet where it sits so the location doesn't bother me too much any more. Perhaps next season! Cheers!

Svartpilen 701 is indeed a wonderful bike :) Really nice bike history of yours!

Wonderful trip, and great pictures! Very inspiring. Now I want a van... :D Thanks for sharing!

Wednesday evening offered lovely bike weather, so I took a ride to the southwestern slope of Romeleåsen (Romele ridge in english I guess :) ) about 30km from where I live. It's a lovely spot that I sometimes pass on my rides, and I always take a break there. Sitting down 15-20 minutes and simply...

I've been using Knox Urbane Pro for three summers now. Comfortable and very well ventilated. https://www.planet-knox.com/product/urbane-pro-glove/

There was an R&G tail tidy on my bike when I bought it, but I took it off and went back to stock configuration since I didn't like the look of it. I think it messes up the back end too much, hides that lovely rear light and ruins the general lines of the back end. The main thing I don't like...

Svartpilen 701 2020 in Dalby, Lund här 👋 That's a lovely bike you've got there! I don't see too many Svart/Vit here either, even though we got a dealer in Sjöbo. I see more Norden on the roads here, which also is nice of course :) Two years ago, when I started riding again after a 30 year...
