Åland including archipelago. 10 years ago

Post by ErikGustav2 »

Memories pops up when I see the plans for Godspeed.
The rain is falling outside. So I search in my picture archive.
To show some views from this trip.
2 friends making a trip for some days.
I used a Moto Guzzi California 1989 (if I remember correct)
And my friend used a Harley Davidsson softtail 2003.

Åland including the archipelago is very special. There are hard restrictions on who can buy a property.
And what can be done with it.
It is a living area. But in old style. It feels like travelling backward 100 years in time.

There has been many more trips after that.
2 times 2-stroke meeting o Åland
1 Club run for Throttle Twisters including poker run
And several trips using the north path, to get to Lokalahti
And riding inner and outer "RIng lane" around Åbo

Maybe this can inspire someone
