It does cause some problems, but crossing your arms puts everything back in a familiar place.Man, that starter being on the left handle bar would be hard to get used to.

What brand are those crashbars ? Don’t think I’ve ever seen them before.
I think those are the crash bars made by Heed.

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. So he bought one that I had kept for about a decade as a spare (I don't even have those engines anymore).
This is the first time ever that I've gone on a ride and came back home with MORE money than I had when I left.... about 1K$ so not just pennies, either.
My 26-yo. son joined me on his XJ6 Diversion, he's "on a learner's permit" so needs a bit of mileage. I know whose son he is, seeing as how I constantly have to tell him over the intercom to slow down and go easy in the blind curves (is there any other kind?)... We made a stop at the little town of Tysse (pic below) on the way back. When I was in my early twenties my dad was in the roofing business, and we did all the roofs on the textile mill there. It was a hot summer, like just now, so we'd regularly leave the hot roofs to cool off in the cold fjord water.
Much like my last trip to Tørvikbygd just an hour or so east of Baldersheim, the route consists of a mix of generally nice two-lane highways (which is what we have outside of the cities) and twisty, god-awfully narrow single-carriage roads following the coastline out the fjords. Sometimes a challenge, but as age and "experience" has taught me, if you stay at moderate speeds the ride will always be enjoyable. For this ride, I had thought to take a different route going back. But that includes either one or two ferries (one of them is the gray route in the google maps pic below). Taking any one of these routes would mean getting home around 11 pm. So we went straight back, which is fine, it all looks and feels different going in the other direction anyway,
