Heceventure

New adventure awaits. I've done a huge job with Annie during the last summer and winter. All the covers got painted etc. The biggest problem after the crash was in the front. Both front tubes and triangles were bent. Luckily I found a second hand front end at eBay. Ordering stuff from Italy seemed like a bed idea but fortunately it worked fine. So after a very busy "last minute evening" I finally managed to get Annie on the road last September. I rode to meet a couple of other Finnish overlanders about a hundred kilometers from my home. After the test ride it was time to call it a winter and get back on working with the bike. She turned out to look great and the front suspension works better than before the crash. I suppose it was a little bent already when I got the bike. I also installed new tires. This time I'll test Mitas E-07 both front and rear. We'll see if they last as long as Heidenau k60

I took the rest of my days in Austin very easily. I played with my favorite  (and only) niece, went to see some cool cars. Visited a hardware store, fixed some fence and saw the statue of Stevie Ray Vaughan. I also took a little walk in the forest nearby. From the Finn's point of view it was more of a walk in the bush. On Tuesday I took Lyft to the airport and noticed that Norwegian Airlines had organized me a new adventure. The flight was delayed for an hour. In the end it departed nearly 3 hours late which meant that I couldn't get to the next flight from London to Helsinki. That meant an extra 9 hours waiting at the airport. It seems destiny didn't want me to get home yet. Even the last flight was delayed for one hour. But finally at around 2 am I got home and straight to bed. Being awake more than 36 hours in a row takes it's toll. My trip is now over. It's hard to understand that I left quite precisely 6 mon
