    This year was hectic when it comes to buying and selling bikes. I startet with the first T120 sold in Norway. Rode it 5000 km and sold it close up to full new price, this due to the waiting list on the Bonnevilles. Bought a Thruxton R and did 2000 km on that before jumping back to a new T120 late autum :) First summer with no money loss, strange but Triumph will get the volume up so this was a one time opportunity.

    But here is some pictures from the riding in south Norway, don't hesitate if you are planning to ride up here. We are more than happy to tip you on the right course.

    Started up with small country side roads up to Telemark and the mountains.

    Over Suleskard, a road that evry bikers should take if you are nearby.

    Made a quick stop home, of with the panniers and out the same day. But this time with to friends on their Bmw GS. It would show to be the modern bike /handling vs classic style.

    Here we are on a farm that offered room for a low price

    Riding the cost back, here just outside Stavanger

    Hello Henry, my wife and I were over in Norway on my Honda ST1300 Pan European back in 2003 and loved the place,,,,,,,,,,except for the price of alcohol :eek:. We stopped in Voss staying at the Fleischers Hotel which we used as our base for daily ride outs.

    The reason for our visit was that during WW2 my father took part in the liberation of Norway with the SAS.
    He always wanted to go back to Norway but because of mums ill health he never made it.
    Unfortunately dad past away in December 2002 and I promised that I'd go for him, mission accomplished :).

    That was I nice thing to do, and I hope you enjoyed the memories. The contribution from SAS was important, and will never be forgotten.

    Great pics, yet another country to add to my ever growing list. Haven't made it out of England on a bike since the 70's!

    God jul :) yes that ferry should start up, and it could be important for England after the brexit to get a
    motorway into the scandiavia marked
