Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 7, 2016 RED!!!!
keny Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 I'm think I will ride black today, white to the Joy Dunlop memorial stone in Tallinn. But yes, red if I had a red one!
keny Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Dutchy has arrived to Finland! And I did take the "black" bike, should not, speedo cable snapped....
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 7, 2016 Seafood...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 7, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 7, 2016 From home to Stockholm is about 1,600km as Keny can attest. One can also do "a little detour".... :-)
AndreasH Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 Last Saturday I had the pleasure of having a visit from Dutchy before he was leaving with the ferry from Stockholm. Good luck on the tour and for the future job! Cheers Andreas
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 8, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 8, 2016 It was nice to meet you Andreas, your family AND the swedish NR! :-) Keny met me in Salo and really made me sweat that day. 370km blasting around places like "the King's Road" and the local version of the "green hell". Very fast twisty public road with blind crests (to be taken at speed) and rising and falling. Nurburgring Finnish Style. Lovely. But here you have oncoming traffic... And once at his family home, we got to sweat some more.... :-) His eldest son kept on pouring the water on the wood-fired stove, checking if I could hack it.... :-)
rexsaugerty Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 damn. i have to hit the garage tonight to get bike done by the end of week

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 8, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 8, 2016 Well, if by popular demand AND a "we will not ban you if you do" commitment from HS and/or the mod team, we will be happy to.... :-)
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 8, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah, it was about time and surely not gonna last another 3k.... So off we went to For some tyres, in stock they had Metzeler Z6's and they will do me just fine
Helweg Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I remember the feeling ( even it's a long time ago ) like having a new bike, when putting new skoes on ?
keny Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 So you have to testride the new tires to feel how good they are, right. Before the start. At the shore Later the sun arrived Ok, it was only a short spin to the shore, piloin on Dutchy to get bikes down there and have 3 generations of VFR´s in one pic whit a nice views behind. And Bert, thanks for the taster!
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted August 9, 2016 Author Member Contributer Posted August 9, 2016 Off with Kenny and his son to Tallinn to the Joey Dunlop stone to pay our respect to yer maun.

I just started reading this thread last night. Sorry to hear about the work situation Dutchy, but I'm sure with your attitude you'll find something new soon. And your response to the situation: Do a long tour, is perfect. Hit the road, bond with the bike, clear the mind, visit friends, and see how others live to get some perspective. I always enjoy your ride posts--keep the photos coming.
