In 2015 and then earlier this year i visited Yrjo Vesterinen at Apico. This was followed by a trip to his home and also a look at his incredible private motorcycle collection. I photo'ed everything and its all online now.

 

There's an interesting detailed career interview in chronological order . There are many many photos of his motorcycles collection  ,home , retro trials clothing , even his baby photos + riding photos

 

Its for trials fans who like the detail and its all typed up word for word , straight from the horses mouth. Ive put it on my hobby web. Due to the amount of content it took a lifetime to arrange.

 

Grab a cuppa ..... say goodbye to the wife for a while  and slip back to the 70's .

A great lunchtime read to set the mood just before I step in to the car to head for the Fort.

Outstandig! Thanks. /Carl

What a great read. Thank you Yrjo for being so open and James for another great feature.

Looked again at the part where the bikes are displayed and spotted a Sony C7 video.

We had one of those it weighed a ton they were built like a piece of military equipment, absolutely unlike anything you buy today.
