Juha, nice to see things moving again, hope you are well and keeping safe my friend.

It seems like a million years since we had fun at Alastaro.

Finnish beer is tasty!
A good reason for us at the other side of the Baltic sea to enjoy a party boat over to Helsinki or Turku in the 80's when it was possible to purchase taxfree direct after leaving Stockholm.
Red Koskenkorva was like nitro in the drinks mixed in the cabin!! E85

Drinks from the bars very weak, more like E10.

PeWe, from memory, beer in Finland is called olut, it was very nice but really expensive compared to prices in the UK.
We were lucky the second time I went over, there was a guy racing who was sponsored by a brewery and he was giving beer away by the case load. haha.

Oh yeah Sam, I'm doing fine. Working a lot so don't have much time to play with my bikes but I try to do it as much as I can.
At least I didn't end up selling any of them

Must have been a million years ago when you look at Jesse

Absolutely right Sam and did you notice that guy is racing Pro Stock now?

I didn't Juha but I can't remember his name anyway so I wouldn't know if I had seen it.

At least I like it Per

I live in Turku so those boats are almost too familiar

Next stop will be JL Meccanica, Mänttä.

Had these headers laying around in the shop so decided to give it a go. With a little cutting and welding they should fit pretty well.

Looking real nice Juha, keep up the good work my friend.

I'll do my best Sam! Starting a new job next Monday so I decided to do the last drive to work tomorrow (80km one way) in style and borrowed Elli's '59 Impala

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #62 on:** May 14, 2021, 06:54:57 am »

Juha, Elli's bike has to many wheels. hahaha.

Here you go, one Bimota replica swingarm by JL Meccanica.

Leino · « **Reply #65 on:** July 30, 2021, 01:31:56 am »

Before someone points it out, yes, I know the shock mounts are not "correct" for a Bimota replica but I'm a poor truck driver and wanted more options for rear shocks over the authenticity

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #66 on:** July 30, 2021, 03:27:28 pm »

Looks cool mate, working correctly is more important than looking correct.

Stev-o · « **Reply #67 on:** August 02, 2021, 04:06:44 pm »

The swingarm looks good and I love the header setup!

Looks cool Juha, the shock mount is like the Honda factory CR750s, so should make it a lot quicker. lol.
