Route was 380 km’s from Sejny (Poland) to Radzyn Podlaski (Poland). We were very close to the Belarus border in some parts of the route. Last 80 km’s was heavy rain and then just before we arrived to our destination the rain stopped and the road was almost dry. This was the route.
Me and my bike in Sejny:
Belarus border:
10 bikes taking a break in Poland:
10 bikes parked outside the small hotel in Radzyn Podlaski:
And finally one video from 2nd day ride from somewhere in Poland countryside:

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!
Me with one fellow rider took the jumping start and left a day earlier than the others.
7.30 in the morning we’re already on the way to Tallinn by boat. Aafter arriving Estonia we rode east to see Jagala Waterfalls.
These look a little bit like Niagara falls but this time there were not much water running. We rode more east to find Leesi Village. From there starts maybe the best road of Estonia with nice bends and corners… Actually there are no real motorcycle roads in Estonia… but at least something.
Then there is abandoned Hara submarine base, which was last time used before 1991 under Soviet occupation.
After these nice roads and sites we finally took the straight road to Tartu.
300 kilometers and now we are in small hotel southside of Tartu –Hotel Starest
This was the route of today.
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 Inkoo:
In Raasepori:
In Mustio:
In Lohja:
And another in Lohja:
Now you have a possibility to buy almost as good as new Honda Crosstourer!

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!”
It was a kind of carnival in Vantaa today! Motorcycle store Allright had their “Hemmopäivät” again and there were some tents with nice special prices, lots of good stuff for-sale with very low prices… and ofcourse parking area full of bikes to take a test ride. Kawasaki, Triumph and BMW (With 1 Aprilia) and I chose mainly BMW bikes to have a quick test.
BMW K1600GT is heavy. It’s still very easy to ride if you just get it on the roll… And becouse it’s heavy it doesn’t feel too powerful either. This was the biggest disappointment!
Triumph Tiger 800XcX is very light, nice and easy to ride, nice torque and powerline in the engine. I would rather choose this than 800GS!
BMW S1000RR is smooth, easy and so damn light! Until the RPM meter reaches 8000… after that it’s all about crazyness and speed!! If I would be 15 years younger I would have this for sure!! And I would probably already be dead…
BMW R1200RS was the best ride of today. Extremely good riding position, powerful engine, so much electronics to make the ride easier and so many ways to use the bike! This would be the best bike for me from these 4…
