Following a few shots from our recent tour...

GF was pretty busy with planning




two days of scenic routes from Vienna to Innsbruck, car train to Hamburg




Hamburg to Kiel on motorway, waiting for the ferry to Oslo







me, bloody tourist...




evening on deck...

riding up through Sweden...




parking at the cabin as instructed by owner...







Norway welcomes with a rainbow... we rode right into... weird...




well known...




gotta love those cabins

back south across the Arctic Circle...

... the nation where dirt-roads are smoother then the paved ones... mostly...







my GF the lucky one...










Atlantic Ocean Road...

Wow. Thanks for sharing.

GF figured she'd found a curvy road...




yeah... right... a lumbering trail, big rocks, narrow back-sweeps... but we battled through




humongous cruise ships getting dwarfed by the landscape...

avoiding tunnels and going over the mountains...








back in Oslo, ferry port...







Kiel, foggy, haze...




now where is that car-train terminal?!!...







back in AuSTria, again mountains and waterfalls...







about 6500km/4000miles, partially unpaved roads left quite some crusting...




my activities inspired my GF to hose down her NT as well...

Very jealous.....not sure I'll get to do it on a bike but the car (with roof down!) has been discussed as an option.....

Spectacular! Thanks for sharing your trip with all of us.

Great pictures. Thanks for the follow along. In my next life I am going to live in Europe for the Motorcycle roads. Sometimes I feel like I have one foot in the US and one foot in Europe, but never really am settled in either place. I guess it is the trials and tribulations of being a military brat my whole life.

Thanks for posting your trip. I really enjoy getting a look at countries I am not familiar with. Nice that it wasn't all the tourist traps.

Some rumors going around there...
I'd say price levels are bearable...
Depending on size & appliances cabins range NOK 400~800,- (€ 37~75,-), the most expensive (huge, with a/c, large flat TV, etc...) came for NOK 1800,- (€ 170,-)
A "premium chicken burger" (at a gas station!) came for NOK 59,- (€ 5.58,-), the fries NOK 22,- (€ 2.08,-), a 0.5ltr Coke NOK 27,- (€ 2.55,-)...
Fuel is slightly over Austrian prices...
total expenses for two folks and two motorcycles, including car train (Innsbruck<>Hamburg with nice cabin) and ferry (Kiel<>Oslo, also nice outboard cabin, dinner, breakfast) round-trips, 2 weeks Scandinavia, the 4 days touring in Austria, fuel, food, etc... were aprox € 5000,-... not really shocking IMO...

Thanks! With the strong dollar now, looks like prices have come down.
