Bought these today. Are these the best gloves in the world? Maybe not for the track or racing (they fit there too!) But as universal motorcycle gloves? What I’ve heard about these, we sure are very close to it!
First thing to tell is the fitting -it’s perfect! They don’t feel too tight anywhere or there’s no empty space anywhere!
Second thing is the 5 year warranty, so if these will have any false or damage I will get new ones!
Third thing is that they are waterproof and windproof! So ok, maybe these are not the best gloves to ride if it’s very warm weather! But I really suggest you make a investment for your future (as motorcycle rider)! Buy Rukka!
Bought these from superbikers

Today was BMW motorcycle dealers Season 2015 start! Little bit unlucky that it’s so damn cold (-1 celsius) since it has been very nice weather more than a week before this. But I took my Xmoto and wanted to take a test ride with some of the new models…
I got R1200R which was brand new!
This was a good test ride after Dorsoduro a week ago. These bikes have pretty much the same kind of specs but when Aprilia was giving everything even from the lowest rpm the BMW did the same but little bit softer. This has the same performance but much better suspension! And ofcourse the different riding modes gives the BMW more possible ways to ride it (rainy weather, gravel roads, city-riding, highway and so on…)
With this bike you can really understand why you dont actually need so much horsepower to ride fast! In the curvy mountain roads this might be the best possible bike ever! This is a real gentlemans sport tourer! Unfortunately for me the bike is little bit too low, seat-hight is 79 cm’s.
This bike is for sale in Biketeam.
I went to the motorcycle store to take a test ride on MT-09 Tracer. But of course no bike to ride…
So I took this:
Yamaha MT-07 Cage (edition) and this actually looks very cool!
So I sat down to the seat and noticed my knees were almost in my chin! Ok there’s not a lot of space here…
Then I turned the engine on and started to smile a little bit. It sounded so nice (for a small bike!).
Took a short test ride and noticed how very easy it was to handle with the throttle quite sensitive but it was easy to learn how much you can twist it without bike attacking like crazy.
And actually when the bike is so light (not more than 170kg’s) and it has this new 2-cylinder engine it was so much fun to ride!
It really felt like a sport bike and like a big bike at the same time! Just because it gives so much power even from the lower rpm’s.
And then if you look at the price of the bike you finally realize how much there is to do for the other brands to compete this…
Amazing cheap, amazing power and very easy to ride…. Big recommendation from me!

Took a first testride of this spring. What a bike!!! It was Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200 (2011) and the specs says it has 128hp @8700rpm and 115Nm @7500rpm… But as I was riding this evil killer machine it felt LOT MORE!
When you’re sitting so close to the handlebar and the bike still has so much power it feels like you’re ruling the world!
This bike has very sensitive throttle (when in “sport mode”) and it actually attacks so fast if you just twist it a little bit… And even with 3rd gear you have soon 150km/h speed and you didn’t even thought about it!
If only I would not like to make motorcycle trips so much… I would be VERY HAPPY person to own such a bike -Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200! This one has only 6500km’s in it and I think it’s cheap! It’s for sale in Espoo R.M. Heino.

The weather forecast promised a real nice weather for today so I desided to leave home early. I’m very lucky that I bought myself a new motorcycle suit (Alpinestars Valparaiso) so that even there was some rain I didn’t get wet at all!
First I decided to check the breakwater in Vuosari. It would be such a nice place if only there’s some sunshine!
As you can see all the ice is already gone!
Then I rode to Gumbostrand -village in Sipoo. There is a very strange place where the national museum made some diggings because they actually believed some old guy (Name: Ior Bock) when he was telling that there is some kind of temple deep in the rock. Diggings were made in the 80’s and nowadays the hole is full of water. But it’s still a very strange of formation…
Now few hours after I came back home there’s finally some sunshine. But it’s too late because soon it’s going to be dark.
Tomorrow I’ll ride again!
This is what I got:
