    In 2015 we had a group ride with motocachers few times but we also decided to do it “bigger” in 2016. So we took the boat to Tallinn and spent 4 days outside Finland. We visited over 20 caches: 3 castles, 2 waterfalls, 2 special cliffs, an old submarinebase and an old nuclearbase and ofcourse many roads.
    Boat arrives to Tallinn 09.30 (thursday morning) am and 10am we were already in the first place!

    This is Tallinn TV-tower (https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id6336) where you can visit in 170 meters to see the view but we only visited the parking area and soon continued to the next place.

    This is Jägala waterfall (https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id6334), only 30km’s east from Tallinn.
    Then we also rode some nice roads with more corners than usually in Estonia:
    From Leesi to Loksa https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id4975 and
    from Loksa to Vihasoo (following the coastline) https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id4978
    Somewhere there in the middle we visited the old submarine base (From the Russian rule).

    This is amazing abandoned place where I have visited before. But it still makes me think about the working conditions during Russian rule! https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id4977
    Here’s a video from Hara to Loksa village:

    Next we had another waterfall, over 30 meters high!

    This is Valaste waterfall quite close to Russian border, there’s also a beautiful view to the sea (Gulf of Finland) https://motocaching.net/en/cache/view/id6335
    We spent the night in Mustvee, a small city beside the Lake Peipsi. This is a huge lake with half of it belonging to Russia.

  • Finally I desided to take my FIRST bike out! And what a weekend it was! Almost 700 kilometers (>500km on sunday) with my first bike BMW S1000XR!
    573It’s not difficult to guess what was my first first direction? Yes, to Inkoo and Fagervik! That road simply makes you smile everytime you ride it!
    576
    The Café wasn’t open but I didn’t mind. I only stopped to take this photo and then I continued to enjoy my first “real” motorcycle ride (of 2016)!
    On sunday we had a groupride in eastern Uusimaa. There was 11 bikes in the start.
    581
    This picture is from the first break in Pukkila.
    586
    And this is from the last break in Kulloo. The route was just fantastic!! You can hardly find any better roads this close to Helsinki (East side). Only in the north side of Pukkila we visited shortly Päijät-Häme province, otherwise we stayed in Uusimaa province. Here is the route.

  • 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!)
    sdgt
    It’s very aggressive lookig bike and I’m wondering if 1290 Sper Duke is called “The Beast” then what will this be???

  • Finally! This is what I was waiting…

    2 guys says the best is KTM, 1 says the best is BMW. And they all say the fastest is BMW!!!

  • 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.
    XR

  • 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”

  • 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!”

  • 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!

  • Vanha pyörä myyty! Hieman yli 20tkm tuli sillä ajettua ja täytyypä sanoa että todella nautinnollisia kilometrejä olivat! Uskomattoman helppo ja mukava ajettava. Mutta niin monta mielenkiintoista adventurepyörää markkinoille tuli tänä keväänä että semmonen piti sitten saada!!
    Eli nimi on paperissa ja kesäkuun 13. päivä sen pitäisi olla mulla! BMW S1000XR (punainen)
    BMWMI_master_side_1920x1440_2
    Odottavan aika on tässä kohtaa liian pitkä joten jonkun päristimen ostan siksi aikaa. Todennäköisesti semmosen jolla pystyy ajelemaan tuolla metsien siimeksessä. Esim BMW F650 tms. Katotaan nyt.

    My new bike will be BMW S1000XR (red) and I will have it on June 13. It will be SO LONG TIME to wait!!
