It took about one year to reach 30 000 kilometers on the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. Most of those 30 000 kilometers I did last year. Early spring was cold here up north. But right before Easter the odo turned over the 30k mark, in my ownership. I bought the bike on ca 10k…read more>>
Daily rant, this & that
The 2021 season – return to a passion
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. Equally, following guidelines helps, a lot….read more>>
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>>
3 months passed since the accident
3 months have passed since the accident. In one way it feels like eons ago. Yet in other ways, a mere fortnight, from time to time. I spent 8 weeks at Godthaab rehab center in Bærum, Norway. That got me off to a much swifter improvement than what I would have accomplished at home. Leave…read more>>
Shit happens, sometimes in the right places
Shit happens, sometimes in the right places. This is (also) a truth and, as it were, a truth I much prefer when shit does happen. So Monday April 6th the motorcycle season was supposed to start for me. A little late compared to last year. But those who wait for something good never wait in…read more>>
Hearing protection, loss of hearing or Tinnitus
Hearing protection is a must if you’re riding a motorcycle. The consequences of no or poor protection can be serious and long, or life lasting. Hearing protection should never be ignored. if you work in noisy environments, you probably know this very well. Take no risks. Sustained sound/sonic pressure can cause life-long damages. 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>>
Reminiscing & consuming, a fools tale
Reminiscing & consuming. A few days ago a friend shared some links to prog rock music not heard in ages. That sent me into a musical reminiscing mode. One particular song but it did not end there, thankfully. More about that shortly. On second thought, maybe not so shortly. A package from Chinesia Fast forward…read more>>
Mid-March is a climatically confusing period
Mid-March is a climatically confusing period in the SometimesBackwardsKingdom of Nor-Way. People (some) long (strongly) for spring. However, a) very b) awfully frequently these people find themselves in a emotional, fictitious battle. This battle takes place, every other day, with the not-to-want-to-perish King Winter. All while his “autobot” cannons, fires off an impressive amount of…read more>>
