Autumn have clenched its cold fist around most of Norway. Sent gusts of cold polar winds down along the coastline, across mountains and into valleys. It’s all good, though on a personal note I have to say I hope we’re in for a short and mild winter. On the other hand I’d like at least some…read more>>

2017 Summer Adventure part 8, into Austria
Will start this post more less like the previous; left the hotel in the morning and set course for Austria. A beautiful morning indeed. However, it started earlier than the previous. Much thanks to a group of women talking loudly front of the hotel, VERY early. Must have been around sunrise. They sat not too…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 7, Slovakia
Left Zakopane in the morning, set course for the Tatra Mountains and Slovakia. With high expectations for mountain road crossing that actually never took place. Tatra Mountains have few roads Much fewer than expected. In fact, almost none near Zakopane. Might be different further east. Whereas one elsewhere in Europe or Scandinavia, can choose…read more>>
Autumn ride & homeland nature (Part 2)
Coming down into the valley Nore & Uvdal we landed in the village Rødberg, took a little break and discussed where our Autumn ride would go next. Gravel-On-Wards Northwards We agreed on a route, and had at first a navigational miss. Partially my fault or rather, had a minor GPS mishap due to lack…read more>>
Autumn ride & homeland nature (Part 1)
I’ve been posting lots from the summer’s adventure of late. Therefore thought it might be high time for something else for a change. Like pictures (with words) from an Autumn ride… In the Motherland of Norway nature is something else, roads are something else. All who rides a motorcycle should try the Norwegian experience, at…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 6, Zakopane
Headed out of Wroclaw in the morning, continuing the two-wheel adventure towards Zakopane. A little (too) early to avoid the expected rush traffic entirely. Would call it a partial success. Made it out of town, headed further south, and for a while I had some space on the roads, great! The general feeling this far…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure – Part 5, Wroclaw – Poland
Had decided to avoid big cities during the summer’s adventure as much as possible. Primarily because of traffic (congestion) and heat. Better to hop on a plane, stay central and explore by foot or public transport. Wroclaw was one of few exceptions. Despite efforts, the GPS sometimes led me trough cities rather than around. Reason…read more>>
And then there were two…. (motorcycles)
It’s hard to find motorcycles or motorcycle types that works (well) for everything. August this year the solution to the challenge presented itself in a beneficial way. I’ll come to that but first…. What the market wants The Adventure segment is completely dominating the motorcycle market today. Reason simply being, demand. More and more people…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure Part 4, Poland
I had a eastern Germany adventure back in the 90s, and also traveled through the country. That was not long after the fall of the wall. 20 odd years ago indeed a different experience of the country (now region). Buildings, apart from governmental or public ones, looked run down. As if the proprietors were…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure Part 3, Germany & Poland
Mentioned in previous post, the Gedser – Rostock ferry trip is over in ca 45 minutes. That’s all it takes from Denmark to Germany. Motorcycle Adventure part III could commence. Well, in fairness I have to add some minutes to get on and off the ferry. So lets say maybe like 1 hour. Still, an…read more>>
