I get my Fireblade. Four hour train journey there, followed by a few hours riding it back home. Should be a day to remember.

Corrected for you!! Mr. Green

In all seriousness will you get to ride it much before the weather turns?

No, not much, the insurance covers me until the end of October (standard policy), but today was great - sunny though cool. The bike prices here are much lower now than they will be in the spring, so the Fireblade is really next year's bike (though i will ride it when I can for the next 5 weeks) and the old GSX will be up for sale April/May. I have a reasonable size brick-built shed I keep the bikes in, so should be fine. Once the snow falls, it's all down to the Subaru.

Well, seems she only took three pics, and this is the only one not blurred. Still that's me, the Fireblade and an authentic Finnish background (part of my garden).

Only slightly! It's a 1930s dairy, I plan to repair it next year. The walls are about 2 feet thick!

Karhu? I have a can at home waiting for a nice day to enjoy it properly (since my mum only brought back a single can). Would have loved a few bottles instead. Thumbs Up

I prefer Karjala, the cans, the region and the 'blade are all red and black.

Never tried it I don't think. The Karhu labels are red and black too (and gold, but I didn't factor that in Laughing ). Any beer from Finland tastes an improvement over my usual Tennents lager filth over here, but Finns have an acquired tastes for spirits/liqueurs (for example Koskenkorva is foul, and I foolishly paid for salmiakki koskenkorva last time I visited).

Salmiakki kossu is a cruel invention, kossu alone is OK, but as with most Finnish drinking, the aim it to render yourself incapable, not to enjoy yourself! Real men drink kossu straight from the bottle passing it around until empty. Or unconscious.

I love koskenkorva, but it was just a small standard bottle. Not the flavoured liquorice shite.
