XTreme Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 As you probably know my lifelong hero has been Jarno Saarinen who was killed in the Monza carnage in May 1973. Well one of my clients recently started going out with a young lady from Finland and he told me he was going there to meet her family last week. And by an amazing coincidence she was from Turku......Jarno's hometown. I told him all about Jarno cos hes not a biker (his girlfriend knew all about him cos he's a legend in Finland), and I suggested he should visit the memorial that's there. And this is the result! I've wanted to visit there for so long......maybe one day! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're thinking of an hemicorporectomy, the usual procedure carried out on folk spending time in abandoned cavernous areas with Pete, helps stop the spread of ginger/mange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if that was why the memorial had no legs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I love Finland, love the people the culture and the amazing beauty of the place. But for bloody Brexit I’d have retired there. The language is a bastard to learn tho. Kiitos paljon Xtreme, great thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to turn this into a Brexit thread but lucky you if you have residency in the EU. About half my close friendship group have managed to get EU passports / residency but sadly I can’t. I could live in the US but not sure that I want to do that with the way things are going over there, although the weather would be perfect for my other obsession, a superformance or backdraft cobra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
