Moottoripyöräily
It was such a wonderful weather today! I took my XR and rode west. I had few motocache missing from my found list. But first I took Mustio ironworks area because I wanted to make a new cache there!
That is an old mining locomotive from 1903. Both vehicles are made in Germany.
Then I continued on with some gravel-road riding. This time of the year they are in very good condition!
Then finally I reached my destination very close to Hanko city (Most southern point of Finland). There is a spring that bubbles clear water all year. And this spring is famous because the wife of Russian tsar Alexander III wanted to stop here and drink many times on her boat trips in the gulf of Finland. Her name was Dagmar.
The forrest around the spring is very nice!
And the water in the spring is crystal clear!
There are 2 different kind of stairs to the spring: The old stone stairs and the new wooden stairs.
I have been riding this road usually 5-10 times every summer so I know it quite well. But still I love it! And now finally I found a good place for my GoPro camera in my S1000XR I have some video for you all!
This is Fagervikintie in south-west Finland, very near to the sea. In the map you’ll find it here!
From east to west the road has 60km/h speedlimit first. Then there’s a 500 meters part that is a museumroad and it has 40km/h speed limit. But after that you can open the throttle with 80km/h speed limit -and I must tell you there are few corners where you can’t even ride 80! Maybe 50 or 60 at most!
13 bikes took the ride to the archipelago area of the west coast. Kasnäs is the village in Kemio island. But first we had to take 200km’s ride there and then back…
Here are the pictures!
Few of theme here:
And yes! Your eyes are not lying… I got myself another XR already! I must be the top buyer in the whole wide world of the S1000XR! This one is called Dragoné!
Here it is. And it looks very good!
This wasn’t that interesting day. Road was straight, not much to see (except the castle!) and one missed crossing and 30 km’s gravel road after that.
This was the route.
We stopped in the city called Cesis (in Latvia) and there is an amazing old castle.
And we also checked the castle in Sigulda:
I still think that Sigulda is a very special town. There’s so much to see and so many places to visit. Maybe the best city to spend few days in whole Baltic countries!
Today I got my bike from 1000km service, so now I can ride it on the edge and make wheelies like crazy… (In my dreams!) but anyway the maximum-rpm is now possible and my bike is ready to the trip!
It starts on friday (day after tomorrow) 7.30 am with the boat from Helsinki to Tallinn.
And all the 10 bikes will (or should) be in Sigulda (Latvia) on sunday morning.

I just got my new bike: BMW S1000XR
and I took a 50km’s ride and it made me SMILE! Nothing but SMILE!
It’s beautiful, it rides so smoothly but if you want to… You can really make it attack like Dragon…
Yes I named this one “Dragon”
Took a quite long ride in only gravel (180km’s). I’m starting to really like it!
