Today it has been two years since the start of my journey!
Year ago I was planning to celebrate my 1st year on a road in Bali, but things did not go as planned… That celebration was held in a german hospital. Continue reading
I have been writing stories to BMW Finland club magazine. All the stories can be found under Gallery and Publication (Unfortunately all the stories are in Finnish).
Files are quite big, so it might take a while to download these stories.
WOW! This is amazing! Over 100 000 visits in less than 15 months!
What makes this even more amazing is that if a person visits 100 times a day in my page, it will be counted as only one visit!
Thank you boys and girls, men and women 🙂
I am working already with a next story from Malaysia, so stories will keep on coming (sorry that they come so late).

All ebay parts are now here! Unfortunately I was not able to get all the big parts from ebay, which means that I need to buy them from Touratech, BMW and SR-racing. Good thing was that most of them I was able to find from ebay, because this way I saved roughly 70% of the costs! If I would have needed to buy all the parts new, then total cost would have been around €7000!!! Continue reading
Now I have updated my personal protection.
I got new helmet, new gloves (this time full leather) and new protection jacket. Continue reading

I have finally given up and created a facebook page.
I will put short status updates and some photos to facebook, but all longer stories and majority of the photos will stay in this blog page.
You can find me from Facebook by searching name WhereIsHemuli or by clicking Facebook link from the left side of this blog.
PS: You do not need to have facebook account to read updates and look photos on my facebook account.
Greetings from Thailand again.
Today I crossed the border between Laos and Thailand.
I am not sure if all paperwork (with the bike) went correctly, but I will see that when I cross the border to Malaysia in couple of weeks.
No updates from Laos, because internet speed over there was extremely poor. So Vietnam part 2 will appear online (hopefully) in few days.
Current status:
Rubber seal in front ball join (front suspension) is busted (temporary fix with tape). New ball joint is already in Bangkok and it will be replaced on Wednesday.
GPS blanks out randomly and display is distorted when I take another route as it guides me to.
GPS bracket is totally broken, my temporary fix in 4000 islands did not last longer than this…
Seat cover has a new hole (it was fixed in Bangkok when I was there last time). Touratech sent me a new seat cover to TT Thailand free of charge!
ABS unit has some problem when temperature goes over 33C. Do not know yet how I can get this fixed.
Otherwise everything is great 🙂 Today I had perfect ride in NE Thailand (after the heavy thunderstorm) 🙂
