Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #1 That looks like a great trip! Enjoy the beer, there's plenty of it, its cheap....and very tasty........... I'm planning a visit to the BMW party for 2021 |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #2 Looks like a blast. Norway is beautiful with some truly amazing roads, but beware of Police and speeding. Can be quite costly. (The Norwegian covernment doesn't earn their money on oil, It's speeding fines...) Done Gothenburg- Kiel - Hook van Holland-Harwich a couple of times, (lands 1 hr earlier in Kiel, 9 am). Plenty of time to get to Hook. We took a detour around Hamburg and crossed Elbe with road ferry at Gluckstadt. |

Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #3 yes, Highway all the way. Plan to leave Munich early sunday morning, 730 km to Rostock, staying there overnight. Ferry monday morning leaving 7.30 and arriving Trelleborg at 13.45. Then it's just 630 km to Stockholm, will be home in time to watch the late evening news. |

Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #6Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #3 I do not like the highways by bike, it's bored and riding the tires square. But if time does not allow it is not possible otherwise. In such cases I would prefer a car with trailer, but that will be too expensive for you with the ferry ?

Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #7Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #6Zitat von Holger im Beitrag #3 I actually enjoy doing those day-long solo highway rides. Just you, the bike and the destination with some good music and your own thoughts. Kind of meditation. |

Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #1 Hi Baracuda, Mrs Fugly and I will be in Garmish with a view to understanding if's it's worth having a stand for the business there in 2020. Would be good to put faces to names etc over a beer and bratwurst

Zitat von Bacaruda im Beitrag #5  I'd heard about very expensive speeding fines, so thank you for the reminder  A chap on another forum (previous bike) told a tale of how he sailed past a line of traffic at about between 5 & 7 kmph over the speed limit in Norway. An unmarked car then emerged from the line, pulled him over, on the spot fine that he thought was about £45. When he got to the hotel that evening and worked it out, it was actually £450 !!! Ouch. I didn't do any speeding through Sweden, Finland and north Norway when I rode to Nordkapp in 2016; I won't be speeding on this trip either Cheers Paul B. |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #12 Norway is really a beautiful country, the many pictures, films and reports on the web are always very impressive, but the fines are above average. I don't want to race there, but how easy it is to drive 20km/h faster than the allowed 80km/h on a straight road ! The speed measurement should also be done with helicopters? I prefer to drive to Norway with a cozy camper and wife and dog Here is a list of fines that I've googled: Offense fine in euros (conversion rate 9) 20 km / h too fast from 375 Over 50 km / h too fast from 900 Mobile phone at the wheel 135 Drug limit of 0.2 at the wheel exceeded 520 Without daytime running lights from 250 Red light violation 570 Right of way disregarded from 600

Like in some places in UK, Norway have average measuring of speed over a distance. |
