Hi
Im new to this site but just wanted to say about my experience of scandinavia,Ive got some Danish mates I have toured with afew times around Germany and Slovenia,which is brilliant, I went to see them in Denmark and found it really nice.The Danes are very friendly and although flat its a great country.After leaving DK I went up south Sweden to Oslo.I booked all the hotels on line and paid no more than mainland europe,the food is pricey but just eat abit less! everytime I stopped locals would warn me about speeding-dont-the fines are massive.Its kind of nice not speeding you can look around more.I would definitly recommend scandanavia and hope to do north cape at some point.Ta

Here's a link to a movie i made last summer. From my home to a biker friendly cafe, over one of the better motorcycleroads south of Stockholm, among bikers named "slingerbulten" (translates to winding bolt) Just to show that not all roads in Sweden are straight and booring.
The film is 13 min long. The fun stuff starts after 5 minutes,   :smiley:

Coman!

You sound like an expert in Denmark , Sweden and Norway !

It is one thing to run in these countries - as a foreigner - another thing is to know the good places . It's exactly the same conditions that apply when someone visits your country.

Norway is a very beautiful country and you can spend many weeks without seeing it all. Just as with Sweden. Not everything is about to run highways or choose expensive hotels. You can find Bed and Breakfast and other nice places .

As for Denmark ! Yes, correctly guessed ! I am Danish and so much pride in our kingdom. Unlike the one facing the dried island west of Denmark called the United Kingdom , we have in Denmark beautiful scenery, clean beaches and beautiful forests. We do not have mountains, but we have a beautiful scenery and many good roads and attractions that you can visit . Prices in Denmark is not very different from those you know from your own duck pond - and you'll no doubt be surprised that we in this country are very open , friendly and generally always refers to foreigners nicely. We even speak your language and most of them can commit themselves in writing - so that you can understand our dialect. How's your Danish language in speech and writing ?

I'll take any criticism of my country. But when I read such a large collection of irreverent description of Denmark - and the rest of Scandinavia, so I'll have to bite your head off!

Should there be someone from the UK who might be tempted to visit Denmark and want to get good information - maybe even visit a GTR-friend on their way......my door is always open!

Hi Coman,
I lived in Copenhagen from 1978 until 1984 and rate Denmark as the best country I have lived in.( And theres been a few). I was in my twenties and it was full on partying. Great people, great attitude to life. Jeg elsker Danmark!

Maybe one day not too far away I will take my GTR to revisit old haunts.

Happy Trails
We're going all the way till the wheels fall off and burn and the sun peels the paint and the seat cover fades and the water moccasins die...
