The 2021 (motorcycle) season is still months away (here). Many look forward to spring. Forward to, hopefully, some normality. How normal the year of 2021 and season will be, largely depends on us, the citizens. On the nations of the world. Vaccines may help, especially if people take them.

Year: 2020
Briefly – late November rambling
Briefly, yeah just a bit of rambling. Not much going on to be honest. That’s not only because of COVID-19. There are other reasons. if you’ve read one, or maybe two, of the earlier posts here you know about those other reasons. Surely an abrupt way to end the 2020 motorcycle season. Followed by a…read more>>
Patience is a virtue they say, well
Patience is a virtue they say. 1 month plus has passed since the last update. 4 months since the accident, a little less since surgery. So perhaps it’s time for a verbal mouthful. Patience and impatience For the impatient 4 months might seem like an eternity. And one should, long since, have enjoyed miraculous progress…read more>>

Or reduced…read more>>
Saturday January 4th, morning rambling
Saturday morning. Woke up, got coffee brewing going. Gave CAT medicine. Then fed CAT (in that order). In retrospect maybe fed CAT a bit too much. It happens. Shit happens, sometimes shit happens without shit. CAT-shit happens without shit. Sometimes. I’ll come back to that, and CAT shit a moment. While typing this I realize,…read more>>
Fall in Norway, seen from a motorcycle
Fall in Norway can be pretty spectacular when you ride about. On days with sun and decent temperature the brilliant colors transforms the landscape. Fall, especially in later September, means lower average temperatures. This is a good thing for motorcycle riders with lots of safety gear on. As you move into October inner lining comes…read more>>
