Jotunheimen and northwards, summer ride 2

Posted on December 8, 2019December 9, 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, 2019December 9, 2019 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, 2019December 5, 2019 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, 2019November 27, 2019 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, 2019November 10, 2019 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 27, 2019 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 20, 2019 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>>

Folkestone & folly, 2019 Summer adventure, day 12

Posted on October 7, 2019October 8, 2019 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Folkestone was my next destination. An overnight stay, then southeast into & through France. Didn’t happen, but mistakes & shit certainly happened! Before going to Folkestone, and my (almost) last miles on British soil, I had decided to ride into Oxford. Over the course of the past 4 decades I’ve been in England more times…read more>>

Mid Wales & Oxford, 2019 Summer adventure, day 11

Posted on October 5, 2019October 6, 2019 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

Mid Wales, Elan Valley, South Wales and then Oxford. That was my “plan” for the day. Rough ideas would probably be a better fit.  Got up not too early and had a good English breakfast at Brigands Inn.  The sort of good English breakfast that might be perceived as a direct opposite of a healthy…read more>>
