Summer Plans
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2012 11:29 am
Hello fellow TRX'ers
I'm not sure if this is the correct section for this but I have been making my plans for this summer and having unbelievebly received a 2 week pass out from er indoors so I have now planned a ride with my 2 brothers upto the arctic circle maybe upto the North Cape but we'll see.
Weapon of choice for this trip will be the TRX (naturally), not that I've got any options
. It'll be treated to new tyres/brake pads and an engine service before we go.The brothers have bought themselves a R1100RS and Aprilia RSV factory ( I know - not what I'd call a touring machine but hey ho, he's the one riding it)
The plan is to get the ferry from Harwich over to Esbjerg (how do you pronounce that?) on the 2nd June then ride over to Sweden and turn left a bit a tank on up doing about 3-400miles a day. Got to be honest I, I can't wait!!! We will be stopping in Hostels and maybe the odd hotel but with no Femmes in tow it should be without complications. The intention is then to head over to the Norwegian coast and maybe pop into Narvik and then try out some of the Fjords.
We have set up a facebook page and its 'Arctic Roll' ( remember that? ice cream in a sponge - delicious) where we will be keeping a bit of a travel log with plenty of pics, its for family and friends and for new friends we'll scoop up on the way so if you want to join please log on(in?!). Its all public domain so if you are from the website do let me know as we won't be allowing unknowns in just to save any hassle.
I know there are a couple of guys from Sweden on the forum so any tips relevant to our trip they would be well received and if we are heading near you maybe you could look us up?
Cheers All
Mike
