Western Norway- the land of Trolls
 

Hello, Im a man at the age of (omg) 45, from the western part of Norway. I'v been ridin motorcycles more or less my hole life, from 100ccm's at the age of 16, through softchoppers, several XT's and now my main ride is the awsome Triumph Speed Triple R, and the trusty 97' Tenere as the second bike
After some rides in the mountains last summer and this spring, I have started to modify the 660, and I am considering new suspension as an easy solution for the summer, and maybe some engine tweaks and upgrades during the winter, along with a custom built seat and an upgrade on the brakes.
My dream is to ride the Silk Road, but I belive that it wil stay as that...a dream. :-D
Since the bike had a Hepco & Becker top case when I bought it many years ago, I recently mounted a H&B pannier frame system, and hopefully the 35 ltr box for the right side and the 40 ltr for the left has arrived when I come home from work this time (I work on an oil rig in the North sea)
But enough talk, how 'bout some pics? :-)

:hello: and :welcome: to :660:

Hello & welcome along, nice pictures by the way. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum! , looks like a great place to ride. Steve

Welkom!

Nice bike. My girlfriend has the older version (3yf) without the double headlight. Where do you live in Norway. I'm just back from a trip to Norway to visit some relatives above Bergen along the Sognefjord.

Welcome and thank you for the pics!

:006: Welcome on board.

Nice bike! :023:

Thank you so much, for the warm welcome.
To Arjen: I live a little south and east of Bergen, in the Hardanger region, s� you where a little further to the north when you where at the Sognefjord. Both places are stunning, indeed:happy3:

I am still at work on the oilrig, but when I get home I plan a trip to the eastern parts of Norway, with pine forrests, bigger lakes and a facinating history,

Anyone that have a good suggestion on a rear suspension, I will change that this winter :)

Preparing for a small expeditionto eastern Norway.
 

While spending too much time at work, while the rain pours down at home,
I have been planning for a small expedition during august, to the woods, big lakes and gravel roads in the east.
New footpegs, tyres (TKC 80) a front fender-lifter (home made) and steel braided brake hoses are installed, new progressive springs for the front fork will be installed next week.


Soon start to pack up the camping gear and get ready... pics will come.

Heres a few pics from my mancave:
