The autumn has been quite wet and cold this year. As we moved into the last week of September a high pressure settled over the…read more>>

2500 kilometers review – 2024 KTM 390 Adventure
2500 kilometers passed with the 2024 KTM 390 Adventure. Not much but enough to form an opinion about the motorcycle. If you are considering to buy a new one new, think fast.

KTM 390 Adventure (2024), got myself one
The 2024 KTM 390 Adventure has been a sales success in Norway this year. Reason being a huge discount from the KTM due to overstocking. So I decided to take a punt.

Mosel valley, Burg Eltz and north (2022-6)
Mosel valley in Germany is a beautiful drive or ride. A visit to Burg Eltz makes the experience even better! It had been four years since I came this way. Didn’t take quite the same route though. Back then I visited the castle for the first time, and stayed overnight not far from it. Unsurprising,…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>>
