(Ok I make a combined ride report and introduction in this thread. I know there is a designated place for ride reports, and I will use it after this report, but for this report I feel the introduction thread is a proper place.)
The Long Wait finally ended. I never got Galaxy 250 XTR, but I got a Skyteam 250 ST enduro. I took a train to Tampere and said goodbye to the train. As much as I like to travel by train, I much more prefer to travel by motorcycle.
I felt so abandoned I almost cried because I called three people to take me to the Skyteam dealer and everyone of them were unable to do it. One had to get his kids and wife and bring them here and there, one had to lead a meeting, and one had to go get wheels and tires for himself. People have so much life I at times wonder could they share some.
Luckily there are professional transportation services. I took a taxi from the railway station and proceeded to the Skyteam dealer. There was much love in the air when I saw my Skyteam for the first time.
She was not perfectly brand new but still quite unused.
Would you buy a bike from this man? I did happily. It was a blast to do business with him.
After leading an important meeting Tomas had time to come check my bike.
When I drove around Tampere I met two guys drinking beer and racing with these little bugs. The Ferrari used to be the winner but for some reason things has changed.
My Skyteam stares coldly at the fuel prize in Finland.

Good to see you got some wheels! Looking forward to hearing more. What is May in Finland like, is it warm enough to really enjoy riding?
When I drove around Tampere I met two guys drinking beer and racing with these little bugs. Sounds like Finland is like Australia, without the flies and sun! Fuel prices here at present are about equivalent to just over a dollar US a litre.

We had extraordinary warm weather here for about almost two weeks. The temperatures were +25 Celcius (77 Fahrenheit) and more. According to forecasts it will be much colder in the upcoming week. Colder than it should be normally.
Fuel costs here 1.5 euro one litre. It is quite some more than 1 euro per litre. Flies we don't have that much but we have mosquitos.
It can take some days before I can continue the story, work issues, but I can't complain of that even though I need to photograph funerals. Such can be life.

Great buy, Moilami!! We used to have the 200 Skyteams imported and distributed by United Motors, but they lost interest in the dual sport, and now UM is no longer in business here. I know that Skyteam had an exclusive deal with UM, but now they might be able to bring these over. They seem more interesting than the 200, that is for sure!

05-22-2010, 01:45 AMHi Moilami,
great to see that you finally got your ride. Very nice bike and popular color... You report is really nice and funny. Hope to see more coming up from you and the bike. I didn't look much around in China on local bikes besides the XTR and the JH600. Is this bike being sold in China too? Anyone knows the maker?
Wishing you many fun miles on the bike - and lot's of pictures for us...
Cheers,
AW.
