(Language is a mix of German and English but makes perfect sense)

:o

I'll probably be riding the same route... next August !

;)

PS Norway's NordKapp coordinates are  71°10[ch8242]21[ch8243]N 25°47[ch8242]40[ch8243]E so that's pret-t-ty high up North...

Barrow, Alaska is 71°16[ch8242]23[ch8243]N 156°48[ch8242]38[ch8243]W, so it's even higher up  :o but it's harder to get there...

PS.. I notice in your signature... 103 octane?...
Is that different in Europe?...

Well, the Brits would call it "5-star"...

We have Shell Optimax (local name, Shell V-Power) and AGIP BluSuper, they are both rated "Street-legal racing fuel"

BMW recommends 98-100 octane fuel for its "M-class" GTs and all 4-valve flat-twin motorcycles.

I don't really feed the Savage 103-octane, but it's a nice signature item  8-)

This one's in Italy, along the coast of Lake Garda, a favorite of German tourists.

It was cold in my office this morning as I watched the first video.....it seemed even colder in here while watching the video.  I am just not adventurous enough to do that.......but respect those who are.  It would be impossible for me to survive that kind of cold.

On the last two videos - both roads looked like they would be lots of fun.

They were all good videos.....and I preferred listening to the engine sound......rather than music.
