Suzuki Cavalcade Club Finland
Suzuki Cavalcade Club Finland
The birth of SCC Finland
Back
in
2000
I´ve
got
the
first
glimps
of
this
big
bike.
For
a
few
years
Cade
was
constantly
in
my
mind
and
I
decided
to
place an announcement to the “Yellow Market” Keltainen Pörssi paper. Motorcycle importer Timo Herranen from
Japsirauta
bike
shop
contacted
me.
He
had
an
1988
LX
model
for
sale
in
California.
We
came
to
a
deal
and
I
saw
my
Cade
live
in
Timo´s
garage
on
summer
2004.
It
was
truely
love
at
first
sight
making
me
forgot
Voyagers,
Harleys
and
Gold
Wings. My soul was sold to Cavalcade!
During first summer I got to know the Cade a bit more thinking is it really possible to lose my heart to this bike. So be it.
I
started
to
locate
other
Cades
and
owners
in
Finland,
which
was
not
an
easy
task.
I
learnt
to
know
that
establishing
a
Cavalcade-Club
was
in
mind
of
Rauno
Urpalainen
from
Motsikka
back
in
80’s.
For
the
lack
of
his
time
to
the
cause
it
was
only
an
idea
for
some
time.
After
visiting
Ranu
I
decided
to
give
it
a
try
if
I
only
can
find
more
Cade
riders
willing
to
commit to establish the club.
Club
foundation
protocol
was
signed
by
myself,
Ari
Lekander,
Heikki
Salonen
and
Jari
Lassila
in
Lahti
city
at
ST1
gas
station
on
Tampereentie
352.
It
was
then
sent
to
governments
association
registry
for
approvance
dated
20th
of
May
2006.
Officially
the
club
was
founded
one
month
later
20th
of
June
2006.
So
finally,
after
21
years
since
first
Cavalcade
landed
on
finnish soil, Suzuki Cavalcade Club Finland ry was officially registered.
Today the club consists of 24 members. We have 32 Cades in traffic and eight is known removed from motor vehicle
register or trashed.
