The guitar intro had me expecting to see Charlie Daniels riding into the picture, singing "they call me a Tenerist, I reckon that I am..." Great video!

I live in Western Norway (Bergen) and as far as SW Norway tips, here are some of my fave roads. From Kristiansand take the Rv 9 highway north. At Rysstad turn west towards Suleskard. That takes you to Lysebotn/Lysefjord, you need to go there (look at one of my previous posts as to why). From...

I don't think they do anything but grade and resupply the gravel roads every now and then. Any chemical would be a big fat no-no in these areas. Oh and they get watered naturally every so often anyway.

Over the past few days I have enjoyed the mountains and gravel roads of eastern Norway. Lots of entertaining and at times challenging road surfaces, and views to die for. Our country isn't all that large, but we've got a lot of scenery packed into it :) Hemsedal, along one of five possible...

Last Sunday I rode from Bergen to Kristiansand, one of Norway’s southernmost cities. A straight-forward trip down there along the coast, a route I’ve travelled too many times to count. . Two ferries and no less than three under-sea tunnels along that route. About 7 hrs riding time. Not much to...

I know, I do that too. The name is what the manufacturer decided to call that type of camera. I have no idea why.

Velkommen! På tide med flere kule nordmenn her (Finnes det noe annet slag?) Welcome! About time we get more cool Norwegians here (Is there any other kind?)

Sierra1 "DOD Hummer" is my dash cam. Keeps me in line. Sort of. :) Damn thing keeps five hours of "evidence" on an SD card. BTJ would be thrilled. Sheikyerbooty I'm, actually "head honcho" of the local SPCA. Got to stay within certain limitations.

Jotunheimen Road, Norway. One of my favorites.

I second all of the above --- just had the exact same question. Couldn't for the life of me understand why my dealer had supplied me with a battery that had reversed terminals. Not for one second did it occur to me that it goes in "flatly" even though I was curious abouit the space next to it...

First real ride of the season, with my 26-yo son who rides an XJ6. Not a long ride, just a quickie out to Hellesøy north-west of Bergen, Norway. One of my great-grandfathers came from just south of here. And way back in another time, I served with the sheriff's office out here in the islands, as...

Du er ikke alene-- hilsning vestenfra You are not alone -- greetings from the West

Here's some scientific or at least physically visible proof of how the engine wears (or, really, doesn't...). Like many other YAMAHA engines, provided a minimum of care, the S10 engine can run 100K miles or more trouble-free. If you want it to. Also, look up Longhaupaul on Youtube and check out...

How about this one ... Jotunheimen Road in Eastern Norway

The Arctic Circle Center is a bit south of Fauske; to get to Nordkapp on Norwegian roads you'd normally pass it. Unless you'd seek out back roads and gravel roads an detours via Sweden just to not scoot on up the E6. :)

Well as indicated in the post above I'm on an "epic" ride. From Bergen, Norway, to the northern city of Bodoe. Total distance 1575 kms, which is just shy of 1000 miles. Might not seem to be much of deal, but ... it is all in one, eternal, never ending curve... I'm not kidding, the lengths of...

Today I took my Super Ten to a place that most of us have been repeatedly told to go to, but only few have dared to visit ... I made it all the way through ... I'm on a ride from Bergen Norway to Bodoe and back, more pics when I settle in up there.

Until and a bit beyond its discontinuation, french police were riding the TDM 900. A solid fit. If you knew the right sources, police model specific body parts were available. Coming from a TDM 900 to the Super Ténéré myself, I find it completely logical thath the fremch police took the same...

Well technically not today but the other day. I went from Bergen to the village of Baldersheim to deliver to a boater acquaintance a water pump to fit a Volvo Penta TAMD 60 C marine diesel engine. The guy has a boat just like mine (Fairline Turbo 36) and was in dire need of one new water pump...

I visited the village of Tørvikbygd yesterday, to meet with clients and study the new marina there. It got late, so I spent the night at the town of Norheimsund in spite of the distance from home being only 81 kms/50 miles. Didn't want to get home far beyond midnight due to road construction...
