    Hi :)
    Looking forward to taking part in this forum.
    I have been riding two-wheelers for many years. Started with a Yamaha LS2 100cc (1978) and the last one I had was a BMW K1600 GLT (2024). I have now decided to move to the Adventure segment and have bought a Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer 2022 model with 7000 km on the clock. I live in Northern Norway where we still have snow-covered roads, so the season will not start for about 1 month, depending on the weather.
    Looking forward to snow-free roads and temperatures above 0 degrees Celsius.
    Best reg
    Tore

    Hi and thanks for that :)
    Now I just have to be patient and wait for the roads to be clear of snow so I can take my "maiden ride" of the season.

    Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome :)
    I'm going to pick up my bike in the latter half of May. It will be a 2000 km ride from Bergen to Kirkenes through Sweden and Finland.
    I'm going to ride part of the distance with my brother, who rides a Rocket 3. Looking forward to it and will post pictures of the bike and the ride north

    Hi :)
    You have a sharp eye. It's a bike I bought in Murmansk in the mid-90s, a Ural 650cc. Fun bike, but only had it for a short time.
