This seems to be a spot for bike pictures. So behold, my bike. Only nice comments please! I suspect she knows how to read.
In the mountains of Norway, 2017 summer.
At Hell Grill, near Trondheim, 2017 summer. The spot I named my, first ever, travel series after.
And a slightly closer look, for those who like to admire big engines.
For anyone interested in the statistics:
It is a Honda Valkyrie, from 1997.
Engine is 1520cc flat six. Originally it had 72kw and 130nm. Who knows how much is left, but it is plenty. No need to shift down, for 100-150m overtaking, with 2 people and fully loaded cases.
Riding it feels like you're sitting on a couch. Maneuvering in tight places is really annoying, even though it weighs only 340kg. So almost a third less, than new Goldwings.
Cases came with the bike. They each hold 5kg of goods. So beer run is totally doable. It also had a windshield, when I bought it. Good thing about windshields is, that they are removable. I did not wait long, to use this magnificent feature. It felt as if I had stepped out a convertible, on to a motorcycle. I can now fully enjoy the weather.
