Another arrival of -06

Kaj · Mar 11, 2006

Wow, it has arrived, my new blue-silver -06.

Unfortunately it is still -10 celcius degrees in Finland, so I left it to my dealer.

Some accessories:

-Foot shields

-Roller protections

-Yam's topcase (with silver lid, because the "silver line" cont. upwards)

-Innerbag topcase

-Backrest for topcase

-Side case liners (innerbags)

-Semi transparent tank pad (FJR)

I also ordered Yam's mounting kit for navigator, hope it'll be suitable for my Garmin Quest...

Now I only wish that weather would change B)

Congratulations Kaj!

When will temps be okay for you to ride? What are road conditions like where you are?

BTW, (on a completely different note) I back in elementary school, Finland was "my" country for a report. While reading about Finland, I grew to really respect the Finns for their tenaciousness at protecting their land. I felt sad when the gov't had to give away a large part of their country as part of the peace treaty. I presume alot of Finns still resentful for all that happened.

Normally here the driving season is April - September (October is maximum).

In other words, just six months reasonable weather. Roads are typically on good shape and you can find a good choice of different curvy roads. Only big issue is very low speed limit. Between 80 - 100 km/h (motorways 120 km/h), and the fine system is really awful, the amount you have to pay, depends on your salary level. Rich people can get fines like 150.000 € when driving 60 km/h when limit is only 40 km/h

ok, that is true, but then you gotta be really rich :agent:

To Sweden, Norway, Estonia...no problems at all, piece of cake.

To Russia, well, I should say don't even try...but of course it is possible. But I just wonder, why would you like to go to Russia?

This morning still -7 celcius (19 F) and half a meter snow everywhere...

I guess that I'll start driving with it 31.3. if weather changes as it normally does at this time of the year. I promise to show some pics a.s.a.p.

I hear there is a museum there worth seeing in St. Petersburg.

Ballet.

Anything else?
