So after answering the call to for volunteers, it seems that the sponsors are coming in to allow us to create the potential for a really good event.
The reason for only saying potential is that it is the people attending that will make an event, and the attendee list so far is looking rather good for an interesting event.
Details of what is happening can be found on the web site

Helsinki Bike Show
So i went to the Helsinki Motorcycle show on Saturday.
It was interesting as it was much larger this year, and the spreading out allowed it to feel less "crowded".
The effect was to have three "halls" or area's; the mainstream/manufacture's hall, the small dealers/misc-stuff hall and upstairs there was the custom/vintage hall, along with a cinema showing Easy Rider.
The mainstream all was crowded and not so much new, although the Finnish Ploice stand was interesting as it was projecting videos of chases of speeders, and showing what was the average speeds and the actual offical speed limits in those places.
Most of the stands had a couple of girls in tight clothing sitting on bikes.
The small-dealers/misc-stuff hall benefitted from not being crowded by the custom hall, so the ailes could be a bit wider, making it wasier to browse or just walk as you choose (other years the aisles were smaller making it a bit more difficult to just walk around as the people buying/fondling the merchandise would fill up the aisles causing blockages).
The custom hall, was kind of interesting, as the same as last year a couple of the local workshops had transplanted themselves to the hall and were showing their work live(ish).
Overall, a good afternoon out.
My pictures from the event are shown below:
