Valdresflye and home, summer ride 2

Posted on December 26, 2019January 27, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Valdresflye is a “household name” in Norway, a name for both a road or route as well as a mountain plateau. It was also a part of my return route back to Oslo. Sunday morning the return began. The lingering high pressure produced absolute cloudless sky and perfect conditions for the first part of the…read more>>

Trollstigen & Geiranger, summer ride 2

Posted on December 15, 2019December 15, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Trollstigen, a serpentine mountain road and pass in Møre og Romsdal county was the first target of the day. Followed by Geiranger and Geirangerfjorden. Trollstigen is in Rauma Municipality, Møre og Romsdal county.  If you come from the south, along E136 and Rauma river, it’s hard to miss. More about that later. On gravel and…read more>>

Jotunheimen and northwards, summer ride 2

Posted on December 8, 2019December 14, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Jotunheimen in Norway is a national park and  mountainous area of roughly 3,500 km².  July 26th I left Oslo for another Norwegian long weekend  ride. Jotunheimen is a fantastic area for trekking, fishing, and camping . You can also rent cabins,  summer or winter. High season can be pretty expensive. According to Norwegian law, aka…read more>>

Air filters – all that glitters is not gold

Posted on December 5, 2019November 4, 2020 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Air filters do a very crucial job, that’s a no-brainer. You don’t need deep insight to realize the air filtration system also require frequent attention. The norm is to change air filter at service intervals for your motorcycle. But if you ride offroad, on gravel or dirt, it might be sensible to inspect more frequently….read more>>

The long way home, with detours

Posted on December 4, 2019April 8, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The long way home, that was our plan. Waking up on Sunday the weather was gorgeous. So we intended to make the most out of the day.  Right after breakfast we packed up and left Straand hotel in Vrådal. Before getting on, a few things about the/our hotel. It’s pretty good, but in my opinion,…read more>>

Lysebotn in western Norway, day 1&2

Posted on December 1, 2019December 4, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Lysebotn is a name that might not mean anything to lots of people. If you are a motorcycle rider, and have been in Norway, Lysebotn might ring a bell. If not, then you might have missed something worth going back to Norway to experience. Going west Friday July 12th the course was set for Vrådal,…read more>>

Return north, 2019 Summer adventure, day 16-18

Posted on November 24, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Return north was the next planned move. The adventure was coming to an end. But before the end, 3 days worth of riding, through Germany, Denmark and Sweden. I could have done the journey in two days with relative ease. But it would mean 5-600 kilometers a day. I’ve done much longer legs, with lots…read more>>

Harz Mountains, 2019 Summer adventure, day 15

Posted on November 1, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Harz Mountains, hills, woods, and a plethora of great roads. That was on the menu for the day, preceded by the breakfast menu which by the way was equally diverse. Got out around the usual time, not too early, not too late. Outside the air was warming up quickly. As the weather forecast indicated, the…read more>>

Through Germany, 2019 Summer adventure, day 14

Posted on October 27, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Through Germany to the Harz mountains, that was the plan of the day.  Which meant between 5-600 kilometers riding, depending on the small roads. One of the many great features of the BMW R1200GS & GS Adventure models is the riding comfort. I like the effortless, relaxed,  no-stress, almost docile way these motorcycles get down…read more>>

Going east, 2019 Summer adventure, day 13

Posted on October 20, 2019October 23, 2021 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Going east never was a part of my plans. But as the weather forecast brought news of a heatwave in France I had to, regrettably, drop the French Alps. Sometimes in life, well maybe a little more often than sometimes,  things don’t turn out as you’d hoped.  When it happens one just have to improvise,…read more>>
