Fjords,ferry crossings, mountains where the snow is still not melted along the road, glaciers, stunning views, roads with no traffic, you can camp where ever you want. I dare to say the western part of Norway is as made for motorcycle touring.
A sidecar hack is so practical when touring like this, bringing all you need along for camping.
OK, I did not do this trip by any of my old Harley`s but I really wish to do so.
Maybe next time?
Hope whoever read my blog forgive there is a few peaks of the Beemers.
Camp at Hardangervidda, 1183 meters above sea level
What a small world, when crossing a mountain we met Teun "the crazy Dutcman" which I learned to know some years ago at a motorcycle meet. He is the only person I know doing an average of 100 000km a year on motorcycle!!!!
Sognefjellet, crossing the mountain pass. Glaciers and still snow along the road since last winter.
HDOCN (Harley Owners Club Norway) meet at Gudvangen where the valley is 4-500 meters wide and the mountain above your head at both sides are 11-1200 meters tall. 2 km up the valley a huge part a a cliff calculated to weigh 250000 kg fell from 800 meters down to the valley bottom, no it didnt happen in jurrasic times, it id happen last fall.
Climbing up the mountains from Aurland overviewing the fjord. This single lane road take you from sea level straight up the hill trough a huge number of S curves to approx 1200 meters above sea level. One of my favs.
When traveling the fjords ferries are a great part of getting you from one side to the other. When taking the ferry from Gudvangen to Kaupanger a two hours trip its really cool seeing all these small roadless communities along the fjord where still people live their lifes, no road no noise and most surely no connection to the mobile phone system. Imagine!
