Silence, but there’s life alright

Posted on July 25, 2022December 2, 2022 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Silence it’s good, every so often. Guess I went empty, sort of. That, and summer season never is a high for me writing-wise.  Think I went a bit sour in my pursuit to finish off the story about last year’s escapades. So silence was needed. And that coincided with the beginning of the motorcycle season….read more>>

Col de l’Iseran, a day, there and back

Posted on May 22, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Col de l’Iseran is the highest paved Alpine pass. It’s close to the French – Italian border, a must see or do for many motorcyclists. Settled in Italy the plan was to do a one day excursion. From Italy and over into France. Ride Col de l’Iseran, maybe a little bit beyond, and return. I’d…read more>>

I will not easily forget what happened in Italy September 2021. But first lets get through… Strada dell’ Assietta offroad (2) Assietta is a road many “pedalists” flock to. So…read more>>

Assietta or Strada dell’Assietta, a definite high

Posted on March 6, 2022August 9, 2023 by Knut Meyn 1 Comment

The Alpine military road known as Strada dell’Assietta is a road that, for many motorcycle riders sits high up on the list of must do’s. So also for me. But it wasn’t planned. Like so many other things, in life and on tour, it just happened. Actually, I wasn’t sure I’d do it, alone, on…read more>>

Five passes on a day, in France

Posted on March 3, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

August 28th became the day of the five passes.  A long day, a pretty long ride. But what does that matter when you’re in the French Alps? As I got started in the morning, nothing was planned. Well, I had a couple of passes on my list. But nothing definite. And absolutely no idea about…read more>>

Gorges de Verdon and back up north

Posted on February 20, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

One of the plans of August 27th was Gorges de Verdon, and side south in France. There are beautiful sights to be seen there, in plenty!  Before leaving home i had created a wish list of places. Originally I’d also thought to stay longer in the southern parts of France. Believing that, it being late…read more>>

South into France, over to Italy

Posted on January 30, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

The next morning heading south in France was the plan. Said farewell to the great guys I met at Hotel Le Roitelet and continued first west. Then south. Did think about going back into Switzerland. But I’d never been in the region, and mountains south of Lac Leman before. So first I took D22 slightly…read more>>

Switzerland and France, 2021 Euro Adventure, day 5

Posted on January 1, 2022February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

Most people who travel by road in Europe, wind up in Switzerland. Or at least, travel through, on their way south, north, east or west.  Switzerland has a lot to offer. Centrally placed in Europe, stunning nature, awesome roads, multiple mountain passes and quaint small cities or villages. It is an expensive country to travel…read more>>

Heading south, 2021 Euro Adventure, day 1-2

Posted on November 8, 2021February 12, 2023 by Knut Meyn Leave a comment

August 21st it was time to be heading south again. Given what happened to me last year the level of excitement was pretty high! Earlier in the year I wasn’t sure it would be possible, because of Corona. In Scandinavia as well as Europe. After multiple spring adventures in Norway I knew I was ready….read more>>
