Better late than never......
It's been 4 years since my last "proper" bike trip. 4 years since South America. 4 years since I've done anything except day trips. 4 years!!!
After much pre-varicating and inertia; I'm finally heading up through Europe to Norway in early June. The plan is the boat fron Harwich to the Hook of Holland; winding up through Holland, Germany and Denmark to Hirtshals where I'll get another boat to Kristiansand in Norway. Then meander up through the fjords for a few days before retracing my steps .
The mighty XT is my steed of choice for this trip. I also acquired a Honda CRF250 Rally last year; but I've not done anything to prep it for longer trips yet. So the trusty Yamaha will continue its world tour.

The Honda CRF250 Rally. The new kid on the block; but LOADS of potential. |
