Current bike

As you can see, my main hobby is motorcycling and because market trends go to different direction than my taste, I use (again) a GPX Kawasaki from 1980s. Sporty tourers aren't actually made currently, unless you want a 1400cc monster like ZZR. Current trend is to make very nimble race track bikes and those are pain in windy roads, they won't go straight at all. GPX on the hand needs a determined driver who knows that he wants to turn and can use enough force to achieve that. On the other hand it goes straight there where you point it at, very relaxing on the straight road. Side winds won't change its direction at all.

Unlike most people, I don't put my face here, I'm not a handsome man. Some pictures may be still broken after a hard drive failure, those are replaced as soon as/if I find originals.

Happenings page is a collection of pictures and comments (some in Finnish) from meetings around Finland over the years and new ones are added as they happen.
