English guy in Vantaa saying hello

Hi all

There's a new Electra EFI being ridden around West Vantaa this summer. By me!

Picked her up on Friday from Piikkiö. Great to meet Kari and Verneri.

Just 5 days and already 500 on the clock. Time for an oil change..

Some pics:









Would be up for a ride out if anyone's interested?

Cheers

Lou

Hello Lou!

Nice to have you in these circles too :-)

There is a coffee house at Bemböle and motorists gather there Tuesdays after 6PM.

I'll put a link to this thread to Finnish section, so maybe you'll have somebody to chat with some Tuesday?

PS BTW, she looks good...

Hi Kaitsu

Thanks for the greeting and the tip.

In great style of us 50-year-olds, I will have to pass on the next two weeks to meet up. I'm working late both those weeks, but then I'm a free man.

Could you please tell me where in Bemböle the meet up is? It's in darkest Espoo, no? OK. We Englishmen have been to worse places..



Cheers!

Hello again.

Coffee house has pages at www.bembolenkahvitupa.net/ and there is address, so you can navigate with it.

I have ca. 100 miles there, but I have tried to visit there at least one time every season. I put a note on another thread for you get contacts for meeting there. You can contact me via REOC Finnish Branch email if you need more information concerning activities in Helsinki area. Address is reoc dot finland ad yahoo dot co dot uk.

REgards, Kaitsu

I'm planning to be at Bemböle on Tuesday 12th June, if anyone fancies a meet?

Otherwise, I'll probably take a ride to the Lahti museum on Saturday or Sunday.

Hello Lou,

I just scheduled to come to Bemböle 12th June, so we'll meet there around 18PM.

I'll try to get more of us there too. At least this comes early, so everyone has a chance :-)


REgards, Kaitsu

Looks like a plan!

See you (all) then.

I have put the word around, so there will at least one more than us.

Use google translator to get a hint what we are blabberin', but don't laugh for translation :-)


REgards, Kaitsu

My great mate Tom will be joining me, so we're now two rabble-rousing Rebublican Enfielders coming to Bembole on our bikes.

In other news, got my 1st service today c/o Guy Wickström. Really nice guy. Let me hang around and watch and have a chat - i.e. ask stupid questions. Got a full service + oil change 120€. Excellent.

G. Wickström is famous among the Royalists at capital city area. He has been servicin RE's so long time that he knows all the tricks.

Most stupid question is that you never asked and were stuck on the road for that reason. Everyone is novice at first and bulletsattva is reached only by miles and done repairs though these newer ones are pretty flawless and don't consume oil like older ones.

I'll be at Bemböle also 5th, so spread the word if you are not yourself coming.


REgards, Kaj

Hello Lou.

I just wanted to tell that two bikes are going to come today (12th) to Bemböle ca. 6PM


Regards, Kaj

Hey Kaj

Looks like just the one of me. Old mate Tom not replied to my mail yesterday.

See you fellows later.
