I have just returned from a great 4 week ride, Netherlands to Northcape, Jun/July 2012. It was on a rented Yamaha XT660Z Tenere from RB Motoren in The Netherlands. No incidents, just a fine ride on a fine bike.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the midnight sun, even though I was there for 3 midnights. That's life. I found a lot of good info on roads and places to see from other HU bloggers. Thanks heaps.
Not much reading, but lots of photos. It is written for my family, but I am sure you'll enjoy it anyway. Lou777AUS
