If you live in a tempered climatic zone, with seasons, in Europe, northern Europe, America or Asia, then maybe it’s familiar. Yeah I am thinking of late spring, much too late spring! And late it is, for us up in Scandinavia, this year At the time of writing this rant it’s March 28th. Last night…read more>>

Tires, a tiring topic you cannot retire from
Since picking up riding again, after more than a quarter of a century “in darkness”, the topic around and about tires bounces back, all the time. What to choose, and what to use. Tires, not an -ism, not a religion although sometimes I wonder if that is exactly what the topic has evolved, or rather…read more>>
Rewind, pictures and rides from 2015
The season is ending here up north, or ebbing out. Thought to rewind a little bit, post some pics from rides in 2015. Late May that year, after over 32 years of absence, I was “back in the saddle”. Thanks to a friend and fellow rider I “saw the light”, again. The expression might not…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 10, Italy & South Tyrol
From Kirchberg in Tyrol the thought, more than the/a plan, was to ride south to Italy, and the Dolomites. For as long as possible, try to avoid rain. After the heavy shower in Kitzbuhel, I felt no urge to steer right into one such, again. Fortunately, weather in Austria looked ok, though there was pretty…read more>>
Pics from another Autumn ride, season not over yet!
Autumn have clenched its cold fist around most of Norway. Sent gusts of cold polar winds down along the coastline, across mountains and into valleys. It’s all good, though on a personal note I have to say I hope we’re in for a short and mild winter. On the other hand I’d like at least some…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 8, into Austria
Will start this post more less like the previous; left the hotel in the morning and set course for Austria. A beautiful morning indeed. However, it started earlier than the previous. Much thanks to a group of women talking loudly front of the hotel, VERY early. Must have been around sunrise. They sat not too…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure part 7, Slovakia
Left Zakopane in the morning, set course for the Tatra Mountains and Slovakia. With high expectations for mountain road crossing that actually never took place. Tatra Mountains have few roads Much fewer than expected. In fact, almost none near Zakopane. Might be different further east. Whereas one elsewhere in Europe or Scandinavia, can choose…read more>>
Autumn ride & homeland nature (Part 1)
I’ve been posting lots from the summer’s adventure of late. Therefore thought it might be high time for something else for a change. Like pictures (with words) from an Autumn ride… In the Motherland of Norway nature is something else, roads are something else. All who rides a motorcycle should try the Norwegian experience, at…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure Part 1, the beginning
Around mid-July I set out on what would turn out to become the best Motorcycle adventure ever. And, the longest! Alone, like last year. One friend is a candidate for joining in on such adventures but it did not work out with his schedule. Some Adventure Statistics Travel time: 15 days and some hours during…read more>>
A new two-wheel “toy”, and it’s really an Adventure!
I’ve been bitten by MC excitement bug, again. But it won’t always be about this topic, even if right now it might look like kinda one-sided. but as spring evolves into later spring, and summer, I’ll post more pictures, again. It’s was an MC Adventure to ride two-wheel style back in the later half of the 70s. I…read more>>
