Some Norway Pics

I don't have that many to be honest as it was mainly about the riding
with few stops and the cameras didn't like the temperatures.

The pictures from the bike was on the easy (and incredibly good fun)
stuff - still in -15 territory though.

 

Nice.

Nice one. All that white stuff in the pics reminds me why I would never
attempt such a thing.

Kudos to you guys for being stupid enough to do it though.

What was the newspaper article saying, other than "look at the stupid
brits?"

 

"Scientific study proves combination of beer & motorcycles kills brain
cells"

 

The link to the article was in an earlier thread.

Using Google Translate

"The goal of the five motorcycle enthusiasts was the polar circle. They
started out from Mosjoen with fresh courage, but did turn back after
about 40 miles.

It was simply too cold, "said Stephen Packer. The biggest problem was
the icing on the inside of the visor as a result of cold. In addition,
the snail's pace in the north because of the grooved road surface.

- We give priority to safety. None of us wanted to end up in a trailer,
add to Mark Roberts. Friday afternoon relaxing on the Vikgården in
Mosjoen after the strenuous morning.

The quintet come from different places in England and has been running
motorcycle in the winter before, including in Germany. This year, they
thought to try something a little more extreme, and set course for
Norway. The ferry from Harwich brought them to Denmark, and after a
ferry ride from Frederikshavn to Oslo, they were ready for the big
winter. They have largely remained on the E6 north. The problems with
grooved lane joined in earnest in Grong and continued north to Mosjoen.

In Mosjoen were lodged with Marianne Myrnes Steinrud on Vikgården. The
five fully loaded with camping gear and has largely tent way.

Tents and equipment make the bikes heavy and cumbersome, so this is
something completely different than driving during the summer, they
emphasize. Unlike many foreign truck drivers, is the English well
equipped with proper studded. But that's the cold that prevented them
from reaching the goal, not the equipment. "

 

Both....

 

I'm sure Mark is dead chuffed at being called English in that article.
