Now I am going to sound like a grumpy old man here. I watched the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGpPVIR2bW4 Now I must admit from certain angles it looks a bit reminiscent of a classic AT in some of the shots. And that got me thinking, have bikes actually progressed that much? What is...

To be honest the police are correct.

Has anyone used the ferry from Emshaven, Holland to Kristiansand to cut out Denmark? Yes, you will be glad you took it. I drove my car, but even so N Germany and Denmark are f&#king boring (driven many times) unless you want to stop and see places there. You also arrive in Kristiansand at 09:00...

I can’t add much to what’s already been said but when you first fill up at the’Staatoil’ petrol station, purchase their mug and subsequent refills will be free - a welcome boost in a country that is both breathtakingly beautiful and breathtakingly expensive.

So reliability has been a non issue for me, and for most owners I think the same will apply. Of course some bikes will have issues, but I don't think ...
