Your spelling is perfect. Matti Hautamäki as all ski jumpers are very popular here. However Matti still has a long way to go before getting into category of the greats (Nykänen, Ahonen).
Viren and Mieto were great athletics in their time. However they both are now state congressmen here

Hey boys, I know I'm not the only straight shaving Harley rider out there. What are you riding? I'm on my 03 Road King. I'm at work right now, I'll post pics later.

Here you go buddy; been riding hogs for years, take care and ride safe. HOG

Heres mine when I bought it. Since then I've added Black Vance & Hines Pipes and a Big breather.

One of many I've had.
'47FL


No calluses on my thumb from starting.


One in progress but on hold at that moment.


The only thing I have the runs at the moment.
'79 1000CC Nekkid Wing.


See no EVO, Speak no EVO, Fear no EVO.

Ah well no Harley here. I did get a small cruiser, but a Harley was not in the budget. I ride a Honda Shadow every day it's not raining. When it's raining, I stay home.

If I hadn't messed with HD junk for so long, I'd probably ride "rice", a Guzzi, or a Triumph ROCKET III.

Just having difficulty with wanting to learn to wrench on something new and different.

That "Wing" is OK. Gets around good and reliable as all get out. Just ain't what I'm used to.

RIDE RUDE!

Got lotsa bikes, but this one is an old 73 CZ 250 Enduro "Made from old German tanks" brick of a motorcycle! Will not stall, will not quit! Cannot break it! Loaded with a Trick CZ swingarm, Michelin tyres, the "best" Works suspension shocks and one-off Circle F pipe,Trick front fork valving, old vintage Mikuni and Gem reed valve that money can buy! Silly!

Tough lookin little sled for sure.

Always thought I'd like to try a dirt bike. My problem is that every one I've sat on had my toes barely touching the ground and I've got a 32" inseam.

Buddy of mine has two Ex Swedish Army Husqvarna's with auto transmissions. I'd need some tall extensions on my feet for those beasts.

Maybe I should try a kiddy dirt bike. LOL

You could do that! Here is a 74 Honda MR 50 Hand Clutch 2 stroke! The smallest real Motocross bike! OR a 72 QA 50, the only bike Honda made with pushrods! 2 speeds, Auto! Get on down! Getya some! HA!
