New hobby: Sup Board

I didn’t try this ever but a quite long time I was very interested. First I bought the board for my wife (she was talking about it almost all the time…) And because this summer was so nice I bought one also for myself!

She tried the board first time 20th of June

Even this board was very cheap it turned out quite ok! It keeps the direction even better than mine.

I tried mine first time 29th of June

My first time wasn’t very lucky! The paddle wasn’t tight enough and the blade of the paddle was gone! It went to the bottom of the lake. But soon I bought another paddle so I could go supping with my wife.
First time together we checked Lönnhammarinjärvi. That is not very big lake and water is very clear!
Our second time together was Grabbskog Storträsket. There we spent quite many hours paddling from the beach all the way to the grilling place of Västerby recreation area. That lean-to is on the otherside of the lake -it would be at least 6km’s of supping. Also the views on the lake made me decide that I want to have a camera on the next trip!
This next trip was in 25th of July. I chose the lake called “Iso Simi” which is very rare lake here in Raasepori. It doesn’t have houses built on the shore (or only a few near the road).

  • First rock
  • My wife
  • Obstacles on the lake
  • Beautiful shores
  • Small dam at the end of the lake

After we took a short walk at the other end of the lake I started to take videos. Until now I had my DJI Osmo Action hanging on my neck but now I needed to keep in the hand so that there would be some sense in shooting.
This is what I got:

Amazing Lake Simi in Raasepori

All shores of the Lake Simi are Nature reserve area. It means that camping and pretty much everything else is not ok. They are trying to keep the whole lake in it’s natural state.

TransEuroTrail 2021

In the beginning of July 2021 the Linesman of Finland (Roland from Austria) gave the task to me!
I was ofcourse very flattered about this and I was thinking should I take such a responsibility to me since I’m not very active rider anymore, But from the other hand I want to be more active! So here’s my reason to go riding Enduro more often!

I’m the new Linesman of TET Finland!

For my first active thing I went riding! Took my XChallenge very early in the morning…

Sun is about to rise…

I didn’t have too much planning done. First to ride to Iso-Valkee lake and to the TET route and then start to follow the route to Hämeenlinna and beyond. My main goal was to change the eastern route to go to EVO -area.
It was about 1,5 hours ride to Iso-Valkee.

Just before Kisko Kko (Church village of Kisko)
Somewhere in Kiikala forest

About 6.30 am I arrived to Lake Iso-Valkee -I had the video camera also with me!

Iso-Valkee as beautiful as always!
This place is already in Kanta-Häme (Tavastia proper)
Riding up to the lake highlands of Tavastia… 150 meters AMSL
Getting closer to Hämeenlinna
Short visit to Aulanko area in Hämeenlinna
And the TET route goes through Parola military area…

FInally I found the place to stay for the night quite close to EVO area and next morning I would meet Lauri and we would ride together few interesting roads of EVO.

Early morning in Kuohijärvi

After 2 days of riding in this interesting area I can say that I know area quite well!

These roads I was riding in EVO.

Here I separated from Lauri

I wasn’t sure where to ride on the 2nd day but the bike was making some strange sound! I got little bit help from Autohuolto Markku Ruuskanen in Luopioinen to find out that it wasn’t the rear wheel bearing that was making sound.
But I still decided to continue riding south… I was thinkin maybe to spend the night somewhere in Forssa (???)

I checked this Off-Road route near Toijala

But finally it was riding all the way back home! And it almost 400km’s in one day!
The whole trip was like this:

2 days Enduro trip…

And after few days of planning the new TET Finland route is ready for download!

Langinkoski rapids

We visited with my wife in this marvellous place on Maundy thursday. This place is famous because the Russian emperor Aleksander III built a fishing lodge there in 1889. The imperial family visited several times there!

Fishing lodge
Nice summer house!

This time of the year the rapids are very powerful and there is lots of water running down! Took quite many videos with my mobilephine and edited 5 minutes video to YouTube.

I definitely recommend to visit this place!

Winter 20-21

This winter we didn’t have snow until 3d of January. It didn’t even feel very strange because last winter we didn’t have snow at all! But then around 10th of january started the “crazy winter” -we cot half of meter of snow in only 2 days and then crazy cold weather!

This picture was taken 5th of January. It’s our local watertower and it looks like coffee machine!

In the beginning of January we visited Imatra and we got to enjoy the real winter before it started here in South Finland.
When the very cold temperatures started my working car’s heater didn’t want to operate anymore so it was impossible to work until I found what was wrong and it was fixed!

At the moment it seems that I have stop my business because Covid-19 and return to do ordinary work -but we’ll see what happens.

16th of January

17th of January we got to see a rare halo in the sky! It was a cloudbow. I’ve never seen it before and now I got quite many pictures of it!

A Cloudbow

Now the sun is shining brighly in the sky, the day lasts more than 9 hours and spring is getting closer! 3 days ago it was still crazy cold when the sun was setting (-16°).

New S1000R

In 2013 BMW introduced this naked superbike!
And when I saw it in Helsinki Motorcycle exhibition I simply had to have one! It was my first motorcycle I bought as a new one.
Then 2015 came the XR with same engine but totally different bike and the generation 2 was introduced first to the XR and now 1 year later comes totally new S1000R:

S1000R 2021

It has same engine that XR has. So no shift-cam technology. Same 165hp and 114Nm torque. But it is lighter than previous S1000R (199kg)!
So when Kawasaki & Ducati made super naked bikes with over 200hp -BMW decided NOT to go along in this kind of race. BMW thinks the real race is on the racetrack or in the streets.

Basic White Yellow
M Motorsport paintwork

This new S1000R has some nice options in it! Here’s the list:
Three riding modes, Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) and ABS Pro as standard. Optional equipment “Riding Modes Pro” with riding mode “Dynamic Pro”, Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), engine drag torque control, MSR, “Engine Brake” and “Power Wheelie.
The swingarm comes almost straight from S1000RR so this is one step closer to a racebike. And BMW promises it will be very fast and enjoyable ride!
Who are we to question this?
