Now some written impressions ...

Norway, is an unbelievable country. Peter Forwood and his wife are Harleytravellers from Australia, who traveld more than one Million miles by their Harley in all countries all over the world. He named Norway as the most impressive contry he has ever visited. I can agree to 100% !

Norway has 3,5 Million people living there. 1 1/2 Million people are living in the three biggest cities. Only 2 Million people are living over a coutry outside these cities and the country has a size like Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. But there are living over 110 Million people ...

All there is big loneliness.

For example our trip along the Jostedalsbreenglacier over the top we had a small street about 80 Miles and there we have seen only three cars during our trip.

It's like unreal. you have to explore by yourself.

Best traveltime is the time between June and September. Up to May and from the beginning of October you will find there a lot of Snow.

We return to there this year again for 2 weeks from the end of June. That's the best time because of the midnightsun. That means sunrise will happen at 3 o'clock and the sunset will happen at 1 o'clock. That means you have light over all the day for 22 hours and you are able to ride for a long time every day :-)))

The people are extrem friendly and all are able to talk with you in english. Unbelievable, but true !!!!

The pics from this trip are resulting from our time in South Norway. We rented our Harley at Harley dealer in Bergen (they picked us up from the airport Bergen). Our ride began in Bergen and we went up to Alesund in the North. We visited Trollstigen, Road to Atlantic, Jostedalsbreenglacier and a lot of Fjords expecially Geirangerfjord. The trip was for a first view on Norway about 5 days.

This year we return to there and do the same with our own bikes and we begin our trip in Kristiansand in South and we travel up to the Lofoten in the North.

If you will get more informations, I will publish them at our homepage www.twincam-tours.de

Have a nice sunday.

Achim

Enjoy !

WOW double Z, what a beautiful country. Thanks for sharing you ride.

Alesius · « **Reply #38 on:** March 18, 2012, 07:23:58 AM »

Achim, phantastic pictures and impressions (again), and another great addition to my travel plans list

Thanks a lot for sharing!

zz59 · « **Reply #39 on:** March 18, 2012, 07:30:29 AM »

Hello Alesius.

Got your pn, will answer during the next week. Thanks for your comment. Greetz. Achim

BALIS · « **Reply #40 on:** March 18, 2012, 07:34:16 AM »

Hog have their national rally in Roros south of Trondheim from June 29 till the 1st of July 2012.

spydglide · « **Reply #41 on:** March 18, 2012, 08:46:50 AM »

Thanks for posting a great ride report/pics Achim. Glad you're rentals didn't have problems, as it appears that any 'help' would be remote. What were the daytime temps you experienced during your rides there? spyder

zz59 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 18, 2012, 09:21:11 AM »

Hello Spyder.

Indeed, the rentals worked absolutely fine. When we left the Harley Dealer at Bergen, we got a phonenumber from the ceo. He told us, that he is the man in orway for us. If there would be any problems, we should phone him, whenever at day and night. It was very impressive. We can recomment this guy to 1000 per cent.

Day by day we started our trip at 9 a.m. after breakfast and the trip mostly ended between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.

All daystrips had around 100 and 150 miles, because we used a lot of time for making pics and movies. But we always do that, I mean traveling slowly on the small roads.

Have a nice day.

Achim

Awesome photos and looks like a very beautiful country.

Might need to add Norway to the list of countries I would like to visit.

My grandfather (dads side) migrated to South Dakota from Oslo, Norway with his dad in the early 1900's leaving large family behind. Grandpa soon married to another Norwegian he met in Minnesota and raised a family of 16 kids on a little farm house in New Effington, S.D. Growing up, my dad and some of his siblings would often make trips back to Oslo for 4-6 week visits and we kids never got to go. But back in June 2001, my dad invited me on 4 week visit to Oslo with other family members. We stayed in moderate size home near Lake Bogstadvannet and I had the greatest time in my life. The countryside in and around Oslo is breathtaking beautiful and the people are the friendliest that I've experienced anywhere. Our four week visit went by fast and I was intrigued enough that i defiantly want to visit Norway again. Id love stay a couple months and do nothing but travel the countrysides by motorbike. Someday I'm going to make this happen.

Great pictures amigo Achim....hey guys we should have the next CVO GTG there!!

Wild Card · « **Reply #47 on:** March 19, 2012, 09:51:45 AM »

Beautiful pics! We just bought a car in Sweden through Volvo's overseas delivery program and are going to pick it up in June. Thanks to your pics, we'll be adding a bit of your route to our itinerary.

zz59 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 19, 2012, 10:31:34 AM »

Hey Jorge, great idea (next CVO GTG) !!!!

Would be there too. In July we have a trip to Norway again for 2 weeks by our own bikes (no rentals).

Means, we have enough space for eqippment (movie and pics) with us. In late July this year I will show all here on the forum :-)

Have a nice day.

Hi Achim.
I was many times in Norway for skiing and I agree that it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. To have a bike trip through Norway is definitely a future target for me. I am looking forward to read and see your report. Do you plan to take the ferry from Germany to Norway. A wonderful route is to take the swedish west coast up to Norway.

Ride safe and have fun.

Great pics! If you get a chance to visit Stavanger, check out their altstadt area. There's also a good H-D shop nearby--forgot the name at the moment--but they have a decent selection and cool shirts. From Stavanger, head up to the top of the fjords; the view of the town from 1,000 feet up is great!

Raptor · « **Reply #52 on:** March 25, 2012, 01:39:17 AM »

zz59, thanks for sharing your adventure with us! My mothers parents are from Norway. It is funny that so many Norwegians speak English now, my mother was born in the United States but could only speak Norwegian until she 5 years old.

My fathers parents are from Dummer, Germany near Lake Dummer. Dummer is also my Sir name or last name. I would really like to take a trip to Norway and Germany some day and your great pictures have made me want to spend time there even more!

charlie · « **Reply #53 on:** March 25, 2012, 04:25:07 PM »

Great pictures, I have never been to Norway, but I've spent 3 years in Germany back in the mid 70's, and you all have some beautiful country side as well.
