Hello from northern Sweden

[V Saarela]

wow, it looks like everyone makes a introduce so.....

V(Veijo) Saarela, usually called VS, living at the north part of Sweden, not far away from the arctic circle.
Manage five kids and still married with the same wife....

I have owned all Transalp models, also all Varderomodels. Today I have 09 model. Usual I ride about 35000 kms/year, but last year the Varadero did only about 5000.(have to drive car about 90000 kms)
But, when I have the time to do a ride, I do it properly. Last eight years I´ve found the small cc fun and do some longer tourings on them(125 and 50cc). Also done winterriding on roads almost twenty years. Today I do my winterriding on a CBR 600.

My Varadero:


CBR 600 witch I use only wintertime:


The 125 innova I ride only once last year. Among others, 1720kms in 25 hours.


My Honda Vision 50cc(swedish scoot has only topspeed 42 kph) wich I among others visit Italy with
 

I have lot of films on youtube, please visit for a ride

Thanks for the welcome Two Plugs. Also, feels like I´m been at this forum since I got my first Varadero.

People do great jobs here and we forgot sometimes, they do it for free and because their love to the amazing bike(note....for the Money), the Varadero. No, I don´t find the CT a amazing ment in Money....yet).
Thanks!
Also, of course a big thanks to jamesmc and of course his boss(wife). I´m sure when they saddle down from the moneyhunting in Canada, they will be back here and tell us that.....riding and enjoy the life around biking was much much better 

My life has always been in someway...."all has to happen in this moment". I´m sure I had been on many VCIM if the payment etc not had been done few months before(yes, I understand why it´s that way). I´m sure if the meeting was neighbor I could´t manage it.....
