Due to other necessary priorities I haven't been very active on the scooterscene here in Stavanger so far this year. We are expecting a little princess any time now, actually we are 4 days past due. Having several home improvement projects going, I need to focus on getting them finished. Really looking forward to being a dad, but not really looking forward to spend the rest of the evening in the basement, sanding plaster walls...
So far, the little time spent in the garage has been to change oil on Regine and to take her out to commute to work. Also, I've finally got some sort of a homepage for Roughnecks Scooterclub up and running, but this will require much more work before I'm satisfied. Hopefully I will get more time to work on Ferdinand this summer, but how far I will progress here is uncertain.
I am still attending this years scooterevent, Classic Scooterrun 2010 Trondheim, looking forward to this!

Desireable things
My girlfriend and I are expecting a little princess medio May, so I've been rather busy lately with all other things than my own scooters... I'm currently spending most of my spare time on home improvement and preparations for the little lady.
The leftover spare time I get for myself is mostly spent in front of the computer... *geek*
Anyway, as the new IT/web responsible for Roughnecks Scooterclub, I've spent a great deal of my geek time sourcing the web for scooter related info. Roughnecks Scooterclub is currently without a homepage, and I have willingly agreed to start design one, along with a club logo. I'll report on this work in the time to come!
It's fascinating what you can find on the web; I leave you with some desireable objects for hard core scooterist's homes:

Starting off with something for my little princess! Doesn't look cheap!
Wish I had one of those when I was two...
A new lamp for the office?
Perhaps a new chair as well?!
Believe it or not: This Vespa is all carbon fibre...
*Pure desire*

Incontinent Vespas & getting control of the garage
This morning smelled different than other mornings... My missus complained about gasoline smell from the basement, which also incorporates the garage.
I immediately understood what the problem was, more about that here in Regines blog.
Yosephine has been out of service since the puncture, but things are about to happen, I hope... More about that here.
Lately, I have also been in the "tidying-things-up" mood, and the past few days I've got some quality time in the garage. Working on getting control over my "overflooded" garage and workshop area in the basement of my house, I'm looking at getting the garage equipped with new work benches and getting control of all my tools. Not an easy task, but it's getting better every day.
This is this weeks result:
These rolling tool cabinets comes in different configurations and price categories. But I'm sure it will be worth the cost, I have a nasty habit of buying new equipment because I can't find the equipment that I already have...

A rolling cabinet for all my TIG stuff...
Argon bottle and TIG consumables go inside, plenty of space.
Now, I've been a pretty nice fella this year, so can I have one of these for X-mas?
By the way, meet my new companions:
Mr Race, excellent companion on cold days...
and Cleo (Siamese) and Linus (Korat), eagerly follows me into the garage if I forget to close the door.

Roughnecks scooterclub meeting
Roughnecks scooterclub holds meetings right outside Stavanger, in Randaberg, typically one or two times every month. The club has its own workshop, and a handful of dedicated scooter enthusiasts.
This Monday it was crowded (5 being a crowd...), and we got to discuss and review a lot of scooter related stuff.
If you are interested in joining the club, feel free to contact us (either on my blog) or say hi on the facebook homepage. The club is working on getting a website up and running, but for now the Facebook page is easiest way of getting in contact.
BTW: A great thanks to Victor for supplying me with a scrap headset and half a engine block to test weld in.

Winterseason is getting close
It's November, but still scooter-weather here in Stavanger. Almost every day I commute to work with either Yosephine or Regine. Both blogs have been updated with new posts.
As long as the weather stays above a couple of degrees Centigrades, I will continue scootering to work.
With regards to restoration work on Ferdinand, things have been going very slowly lately. Weather does not permit painting of parts outside, neither is it pleasant to work in a cold garage.
