The last two days on the road were spent in northern Germany and Denmark. We still had quite a distance to go to Hirtshals and our ferries. In reality it would be more than two days for us to get back home. But Hirtshals and the north of Denmark marked the end of the Euro-Adventure….read more>>
2022 Adventures
Returning north in France (2022-5)
Tuesday September 20th it was time to begin returning north. Another day of road improvisation, and another unknown destination. Well actually the returning north started the day before, just as we rode through Combe Laval. But this particular morning it was more the sensation of a turning point. Though adventures were to still to be…read more>>
Combe Laval, France (2022-4)
Combe Laval was a target while in France in 2021. But I chose another route further south, and as a result had to drop that plan. I’ve for long wanted to ride D76, the scenic route also known as “Route et cirque de Combe Laval”. A year later it was finally going to happen. Truls-Erik…read more>>
Riding South in France (2022-3)
I did some riding south in France in 2021. Came through Switzerland then as well, a few miles further east, a bit closer to Bern. Experiences from that adventure did influence our choice of direction. Whereas I’d been in the area before, it was a new experience for Truls-Erik. And as conditions at higher altitudes…read more>>
Rapidly through Germany to Switzerland (2022-2)
Riding rapidly through Germany on the way south made sense. Especially as we only had 12 days at our disposal. Early on I hadn’t made any definite decision about direction. Decided on a southern route that kept alternatives open. The weather forecast did seem to rule out some of the options. The next few days…read more>>
A late Euro Adventure start (2022-1)
Circumstances led to a late Euro Adventure in 2022. Originally the plan had been to leave early September. But things didn’t go as planned (again). When I say late, it’s seen through the goggles of a Norwegian. And in regards to seasons in Norway. When days get shorter, and the temperature drops, especially at higher…read more>>
Fyresdal to Oslo, a 2022 mini adventure (2)
Fyresdal to Oslo isn’t a very long ride. Probably something like 230-240 kilometers. But then you have to take the main roads. Consequently my plan was to take an alternative route which involved all sorts of smaller roads. And gravel, dirt based of course. Then later onto E134, from Notodden via Kongsberg, to Drammen. After…read more>>
Southwest weekend, a 2022 mini adventure (1)
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>>
Time for a change, time to let it go (?)
55 000 kilometers over two 7 months seasons, 65 000 kilometers since new. For a 2019 model that is a “fair bit”? Time for a change, why? Several reasons. None are related to dissatisfaction with the motorcycle. Rather mileage and second hand value. If you ride a lot, like me, I am sure the situation…read more>>
