Norway is a long way away, but it is worth every mile. It took Dave three days to work out the options for getting there and then discovered one of the famous roads is closed until 2025.
Anyway ... Norway ... we are coming:

Motorcycles ... it is all a matter of perspective.😂
It has been a lot (!) of years since I rode a motorcycle on the track, so it was time to correct that mistake. With my ego parked in the paddock, it was back to the novice group to me and my weapon of choice? My Honda NT1100. What could possibly go wrong ....

It has been a lot of years since I've been on track. Will it be like "riding a bike", once learnt never forgotten, or is this a repeat of my first track day?

What am I doing??
The rain looks to be heading toward . That will spice up the racing even more. Glad I'm not making any tyre choices.
Friday. The sun is shining, and I should be writing about track days. I'm sure there is something I need to check that can only be done in person.

That moment you decide to video and someone decides to walk through the frame 😃
When the man from DHL says to expect my SW-MOTECH package between 17:30 to 18:30
Sunny but still cold, and the backroads are covered in a mixture of rock salt and dry mud. Took me an hour to find somewhere in the Derbyshire Dales that wasn't littered with "tourists". All of that said ... It was wonderful - 11 out of 😄10. Thoroughly recommended.
A video in which not a lot happens. I ride a few bends and then slow down for a village. January, and the sun was out. What else was I going to do?
