I have just returned from a great 4 week ride, Netherlands to Northcape, Jun/July 2012. It was on a rented Yamaha XT660Z Tenere from RB Motoren in The Netherlands. No incidents, just a fine ride on a fine bike.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to see the midnight sun, even though I was there for 3 midnights. That's life. I found a lot of good info on roads and places to see from other HU bloggers. Thanks heaps.
Not much reading, but lots of photos. It is written for my family, but I am sure you'll enjoy it anyway. Lou777AUS

I think there are 2 types of people who do this gig, biker nuts who want to go travelling, and travelling nuts who want to go biking. To be fair I'm being harsh, Dave is mostly piss taking and Marc is just being careful. A small blot on what has already been a mental trip, and its only just started.
Riding south through the America's on a 30 year old 250cc motorcycle, all alone except a teddy bear to fight off monsters.
What happened when Joe decided he wanted to see some of the world by motorbike...
