Met Lindsay at Brighton and just returned yesterday after meeting friends and their family along the way.

Loads of useful information from Lindsay. Thank you very much.

I was able to drive up to 375 miles in a day. But comfortable with 250 to 300 miles on motor-way. Non-motor-way should be less. Understood my physical capacity and bike well.

I am planning to give up doing all the way to Nordkapp as most of the attraction is in southern Norway. There is time constrain this year due to work commitments. So have to plan for next summer.

Hi I did a full tour of finland, norway sweden denmark a few years ago on my goldwing 1500..

Some cheap places to stay ...try the internet hotels .com.......
Mainly stayed in the camping huts. Standards varied but reasonably priced... Very best with ensuite etc cost 50 euro..

Nordkapp is a must.... Midnight sun etc....


PS Its cold in nortern norway even in midsummer. Message me if you want more info. John

It's in Norwegian, but you can get a fairly good translation by using google translate. If you have questions, I'll answer if I can
The article lists scenic roads from all parts of the country.

Norges beste MC-turer - VG Nett om Bil og trafikk

Enjoy
Hi!
I have ridden some of the recommended trips and they were beautiful. Could certainly tell you more and even translate the report´s most important aspects...
Just be aware of the fact that almost everything is expensive and that it is common to have sheep going freely on the countryside.
Cheers from Sweden, Toby

I hope to make it this year. This route appears suitable. I have spoken to DFDS and they are going to send me a booking form. But the booking will be confirmed only in june. They will start the summer time table in June. So have to wait till that time.

Any better suggestions keeping in mind me from Inverness

Thanks

Hi pandits

I am an Indian Passport holder and living in UK on Permanent Residency VISA. I do have to take a Norway VISA to travel.

I bought my bike in UK with UK registration and have full UK licence.

I read through the Carnet de Passages en Douane in this site. Just clarify to me if I need a Carnet de Passage for my trip to Norway.

Please opine
