Tampere Supercross & OffroadExpo @ Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre (TESC) - 11th of November 2017 - Tampere, Finland

Here's my photos from Tampere Supercross and OffroadExpo held at the Tampere Exhibition and Sports Centre (TESC) 10-11th of November 2017. First time the event took place in 2012 and act as a final event for Finnish Supercross championships in 2012 and 2013. 2014 the competition turned international.

Head2Head format was introduced this year where two riders compete against each other. Six heats decided the winner and #48 Joan Cross took the first place in Saturdays competition. The main competition started with two qualifying rounds and consisted of four heats and two finals. It was a tight battle between #91 Alex Ray and #151 Harri Kullas. Harri won the final on Friday but on Saturday it was Alex's time to shine and take the first place. 

Between heats there was also 50cc and 65cc Minicross exhibition races. Pit area for competitors was constructed beside the OffroadExpo fair area which had over 50 exhibitors and was free of charge for visitors. New KTM Freeride E-XC electric bike grapped my attention. I also recorded quite a lot of video clips and I will upload them to my Instagram account.

Westcoast Motor Show @ Botnia Hall - Part 5 - American - 24th of September 2017 - Vaasa, Finland

Here's the last set of photos from the event. I saved the biggest category last 😉 Lots of cool cars were on display in this category. Probably my favorite ones were 1932 Ford 5W Coupe, 1947 Buick Roadmaster, 1957 Pontiac Starchief and 1971 Chevrolet Camaro if I had to name a few.

American and yankee cars have been very popular in Finland for a long time. There are a lot of events (shows, cruises, meet ups, swap meets etc.) based around this scene and most of them are located in southern part of Finland. With that said there are a lot of nice events also elsewhere around Finland like this one in Ostrobothnia.

Westcoast Motor Show @ Botnia Hall - Part 1 - Motorsports - 24th of September 2017 - Vaasa, Finland

Last Sunday I made a one day trip to Vaasa to visit Westcoast Motor Show for the first time. I had quite a busy schedule that day. I took a train from Oulu around 9 am in the morning and arrived to Vaasa little over 1 pm. Botnia Hall, where the event took place, is located in Mustasaari, around 7 kilometers from the city centre. A quick cab drive took me under 15 minutes to reach my destination.

Westcoast Motor Show is arranged by a local association called Westcoast Street Cruisers ry. Show features all kinds of vehicles from restored classics to heavily modified cars and motorcycles. There were also few snowmobiles, which I will cover later.

Helsinki Bike Show 2017 - 10th of June - Helsinki, Finland

Here's a peek to some of the motorcycles displayed at the Helsinki Bike Show last June. Show was held in Kaivopuisto, Helsinki. Weather was great that day, warm and sunny, which helped to gather more visitors and motorcycles around the venue. Helsinki Bike Show is an annual event hosted by Modified Motorcycle Association of Finland. It's also free of charge. I'm glad that I finally got to the time edit these photos and show them to all of you. Enjoy!
