South southwest of Norway was my target during first half of June 2022. Inspired by a friend who went the same direction a week before. It would be only a two day adventure. Had chosen a place I knew from before, at a great location. Will come back to that later. The weather forecast was…read more>>

5000 kilometers on a 2023 KTM 890 Adventure
5000 kilometers already done on the 2023 KTM 890 Adventure, it’s gone fast and, minus one niggle, trouble free! The niggle turned out to be an assembly issue, and not one related specifically to the bike. But more about that later. What I can say after the first 5000 kilometers is that this motorcycle, from…read more>>
2023 KTM 890 Adventure first impressions
The 2023 KTM 890 Adventure was, and still is, a much anticipated incarnation of the already well established 890 platform. Late April 2023 it was my turn to get acquainted. Those of you who have browsed this site, will already know where I come from. I did try alternatives in the category or class, last…read more>>
Continental TKC 70 Rocks review, does it rock?
Continental TKC 70 Rocks came out, think it was early 2020. A more aggressive, offroad oriented version than TKC70. I decided to try it. Prices on motorcycle tires were crazy in 2022. Especially in Norway. So much so that I had a little shock when I got the bill on the new Continental set. And…read more>>
The return back north, 2021 Adventure (11)
The return back north was going to be a long one. It always is, for Norwegians who ride all the way down to central Europe. And up again. In that respect we who live up north are at a clear disadvantage. If our goal is to explore Europe, then we have to cover 2-2500 of…read more>>
How to combat imposters & why it’s important
How to combat imposters on social media? Is it at all possible? Well, if we don’t try then we make it harder for ourselves! Before getting on with the topic, did not foresee that, just few days after the previous post, I’d be back hammering on the keyboard about the same topic. Thought I’d said…read more>>
Imposters and impersonators on social media
Imposters and impersonators flourish on social media. A recent experience compelled me to sit down and write about it. The reason isn’t just because of my own, personal, experience. But for anyone who might be exposed to the same. And as much, those who’ve had their identify stolen. With pictures, social network and everything. Before…read more>>
Timmelsjoch high alpine road, 2021 (10)
Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road is for many a goal, and more than once. Know people who consider riding it obligatory, when in Austria. Been a few years since I was here last time. Decided I could not leave Austria without having ridden the road and pass again. I’d also made an appointment to meet up…read more>>
The Grossglockner High Alpine Road – 2021 (9)
It’s almost inconceivable to travel into, or around in, the Austrian Alps without riding Grossglockner High Alpine Road. Whether from one side to the other, or both directions. The Grossglockner high alpine road is one of those roads that, whether you enter from the north or the south, gives some bubbling form of excitement. Maybe…read more>>

Motorcycle riding in The Dolomites is a breathtaking experience. It offers some of the most exhilarating rides in the world. Winding roads, sharp turns, and stunning views. It’s no wonder that motorcyclists from all over flock to the Dolomites each year to experience the thrill. It’s no wonder I had to go back soon or…read more>>
