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

Hei Badrakumar,
No Carnet necessary for Scandinavia.
Driving Licence, may be smart to have an International Driving Licence in case you have an accident - it's not mandatory.
Registration docs,
Green Card, proof of valid insurance.
Big smile - gets you everywhere.
Velkommen
Peter, in Oslo

Green Card
Hei Badrakumar,
Short answer: Green Card (it's green) is the name of the certificate your insurance company issues for travel in european countries confirming that you have adequete cover for any damage you might cause to another person or thing. It used to be free, probably not anymore.
Long answer: International Motor Insurance Card System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
To your list of documents you should add a couple of standard accident forms - that way you know what you are signing, and have some idea of what your opponent is stating.
Watch out for both wild and domestic animals using the roads, your Green Card and accident report won't help very much if you hit an elk.
Have a good trip
Peter, in Oslo
