Re: Nordkapp Solo
Hi Ben, a more economical bike would make a big difference, I reckon £800 of that was fuel. Plus the costs of traveling via Rotterdam added a lot. If I did it again I'd try and book the freight ferry out of Immingham, that would shave a lot off the time & cost, although of course you'd miss seei...

Re: Electric bikes and cars - get real

If it comes good you'll be able to recharge a car in the same time as it takes to fill up with petrol and have a 400 mile range. Quite how we gene...
