First I have to confess that this is my mistake! I didn’t read the conditions about making the change or cancelling the booking! But since I’ve been using booking.com quite many times (more than 50 bookings made!) I didn’t think this would be possible!
This guesthouse has this “special condition” about the cancellation (and possible changes). It says: “Please note, if cancelled or modified, 100 percent of the first night will be charged. Deposit: 100 percent of the first night may be charged anytime after booking.”
I made my booking in the beginning of december and then I cancelled it about 2 weeks later (and 7 months before the actual arrival time!!) So due to the regulations and this special condition I lost the whole amount of money already 7 months before I ever made any trip!!
This is not possible here in Finland! But maybe in Lithuania it is possible to cheat travellers like this! And for us motorcycle riders it is quite impossible anyway to make this in-advance bookings because you don’t know what happens tomorrow…

If you’re using booking.com to find a place to stay, please always read the notes and conditions about cancellation or making changes to your booking!
I also put very negative feedback to trip advisor and google!

Tickets are for sale NOW! This is going to be COOL happening in Finland in August 21. – 23. Street motorcycle races… All I can say is Wow!
In Finland buy them here
This amazing piece of machinery is now aviable…. ok not in the stores yet but the prize is known for all and it’s 24701 euros (in Finland). That makes it pretty much the same than BMW S1000XR and Ducati Multistrada… and these are the main competitors too!
The finnish introduction here (language is still english!)
It’s very aggressive lookig bike and I’m wondering if 1290 Sper Duke is called “The Beast” then what will this be???
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.
Took this ride again… I have to make it at least once in a year and it really is a special ride. The road has nice corners…. with VERY NICE uphills and downhills and that makes the bike maybe a fly a bit… if you turn the throttle in a right place just a little!
It’s definitely a top 3 road in Finland!
And here we go…
Year ago I had S1000R and the camera was in my helmet:

I’m slowly starting to feel like this bike is actuallly very good looking!
Now you have a possibility to buy almost as good as new Honda Crosstourer!
Nyt voit ostaa itsellesi loistavan pyörän: Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer! This is very nice in paved and in gravel roads! Tämä on loistava asfaltti- ja hiekkateillä!

BMW motorcycles finnish import-company got their first bike last week! There’s even a picture about the bike itself.
And also a short text with this picture: “It seems that shape of the bike is a little bit more boxy than we thought!”
Pyörä on kevyt, ketterä ja helppo ajettava. Se syöksyy mutkaan suihkuhävittäjän lailla ja on mutkassa vakaa ja nopea. Käännöksestä toiseen siirtyminen ei vaadi kummoista vastaohjausliikettä vaan pikemminkin leualla osoitetaan kevyesti uuteen suuntaan ja hetkessä pyörä on kantillaan seuraavassa mutkassa.
Mutkasta ulos tullessa se kiihtyy moottorin uskomattoman voimantuoton ansiosta silmänräpäyksessä haluttuun nopeuteen ja tekee sen määrätietoisen herkästi mutta myös helposti eturenkaan asfaltista irroittamalla… Nyt täytyy opetella keulimaan koska eihän se käy päinsä että joka kerta kun eturengas nousee niin automaattisesti lasken kaasua!
Jotkut ovat kritisoineet pyörää kevyeksi ja levottomaksi matkapyöräksi. Minä ainakin olen sitä mieltä että ihan mielellään tuolla pidempääkin matkaa ajaa! Sporttiset sivulaukut on tilattu ja tankkilaukun kiinnikkeet samoin. Pian on Puudeli valmis pitkälle matkalle!
Ja vielä tämmönen “esittelyvideo”
