Hi, 

I have a K1100LT 92 model wich I have recently bought. I`m building a cafe racer, and looking for info and tips on the way  

Kind regards
Jarle

Welcome Jakey,  

Just read an article in the latest copy of the UK Motorcycle News.  Sounds like a cracker of a place to ride and leaves the Alpes for dead.  

It's now on the bucket list.  

Cheers, Dave.

Welcome Jakey from Ireland

Tackler - It is a wonderful but expensive country. I managed to get three times on k's

Don't forget to visit Inge if you do go !

I've been drumming up support from a group of friends to ride the E6 from Oslo to Isnestoften in the next couple of years. I also desparately want to ride the Trolltunga Pass.

Just checking some old photo's and was obviously close to Sandnes !

Thanks Simon,  

Yeah, I have heard it is expensive and visiting Inge would have to be a bit like a pilgrimage.  Has the banner been to Nordkapp?  

The earliest I will be able to go is in about four years time, so lots of time to prepare.  I would be leaving from the UK, most likely Devon and my first concern would be the best ferry route to get there.  Minimum of two weeks.  

Anyway, I have been toying with the idea of keeping one of my 75s in Europe for quite a while.  No need for annual MOT if you live in my part of Oz, so having a suitably prepared bike would be upon me.  Just keep paying the rego and suitable insurance.  

So Dai, what is a reasonable expectation to get from north to south for your trip?  About 1,700km in distance would be a lot slower than I am used to.  

Having watched Free Jimmy and read Jo Nesbo, what's not to like?  

Apologies Jarle, if we have hijacked your intro.  

Cheers, Dave.

Near 7500 Km/4700 miles, including three ferry crossings, one of which is overnight. Also, I wouldn't want to do it in less than three weeks, otherwise I'd never get to actually see anything. That's still 200 miles a day.

Nah - better make it a month.

I retire in seven years. Maybe then.
