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!

In Raasepori:

Now you have a possibility to buy almost as good as new Honda Crosstourer!

I wrote about this site before. But now it’s published also in english! I think it’s the best possible site to find new places and roads!! And it’s about us bikers to make it even better. Check it out now!!
(Even if you’re from anywhere else than Finland)
https://motocaching.net/
It says in the frontpage: “Using the free Motocaching service, motorists can share awesome destinations, spots, suggest the coolest curvy roads, and journey to the coziest of places to take a break!”
At the moment I’m the number 1 cachemaker… But I really would like to see someone else make lots of caches!
MotorCycleNews took the testride in Spain. They liked it…. Ahh “like” is not really a word to describe all that they’ve experienced!
“From the beginning of our test route near Barcelona there was immediately no doubt that the XR is both a proper, adventure-style machine *– it’s a tall, substantial bike with bars that brace your arms wide behind a meaty fairing complete with hand-adjustable, two-position screen – but it’s also one with the heart of a snarling beast.”
“Plenty of sportsbikes are set to be shamed by the XR, I guarantee.”
“On this experience, the XR isn’t just a bike for all reasons, I’m struggling to think of any reason why you wouldn’t want one. Prices, TBC, are set to start around £13K for the bog basic that no-one will want, the around 15 for the fully-loaded variants.”
This Bike should arrive (TO ME!) after 34 days of waiting!
