Small change of plans!

Yes, it has turned into quite a shit show today, this search for spokes, because it was simply unsuccessful.

Several stores from Lahti to Helsinki were checked and nothing suitable could be found.

Ordering the spare parts from the Honda racing team and then waiting for delivery would take a week, so all in all, it's a huge mess...

C'est la vie!

But what can you do, you have to keep going, although now very, very carefully and avoid shitty roads that spread the asphalt between potholes, because further spoke loss will make the wheel unstable and could also lead to a flat tire.

The good thing is that the unworthy Gaijin doesn't have to change his plans much and the new plan looks as follows:

The Baltic states will be visited as planned and then Poland will be crossed to reach Austria.

In the meantime, ten spokes are ordered and hopefully they will be in stock by the time the unworthy traveler arrives, so that they can be mounted next week. The rest of these parts will continue the journey with, so that such a damn mess doesn't happen again.

If this had happened in Norway, I would probably have cursed so loudly that the next glaciers would have started calving, the Finnish fir trees would have lost their needles, and any brown bears present would have dropped the freshly caught salmon from their mouths or vomited it back up due to the sickening words they heard.

...also, the little bears would have cleaned their ears to get rid of the acoustic shit from their brains.

Out of frustration and because the stinking traveler also didn't have breakfast, a Chinese buffet was devoured and then an attempt was made to visit Helsinki as a tourist.

Well...

My lesbian staff, blessed with delicate, velvety skin, already know that a city is not really the bomb (exception Bruges!!) for the BOSAMO and let's just say, we'll leave it at that and not even make an attempt to visit such concrete blocks anymore, as it is completely uninteresting for the ignorant.

Small towns will still be visited, if there is anything exciting lounging around there that absolutely must be photographed.

P.s.: My mistakes are like big cities to you: they don't interest you, right!
