Bikes ridden


I listed all the bikes I've ridden over the years.  I gave them stars according to how I liked them so the stars are clearly my "feel based" opinion (or recollection) and not so much a statement of how good or bad a bike is. Whats the point? There is none.

Lofoten ride

Lofoten motorcycle trip

Made it back in one piece. A good ride, but the weather sucked a bit.

Some notes from the trip:


- the backrest was just spectacular on those long boring stretches
- tank size was not a problem at any point
- waterproof luggage proved to be very necessary this time
- too much stuff came along (again)
- need better riding gear, having separate rain gear sucks
- invest in really really good "come hell or high water" gloves (had several crappy ones with me)
- stock suspension is absolutely fine
- phone still sucks as GPS navigator
- have your own straps for any future train rides

On my way



I will be on my way up north and towards the Lofoten Islands tomorrow evening. Updating the blog from the road with the phone is too much of a hassle, but if you want to tag along you can see updates from the road on my Instagram account https://www.instagram.com/web_biker/

Below is the plan for 4 days of riding.
