Hey Everyone,

I hope this finds you all well. I wanted to share a dream of mine with you all and see if anyone could offer some advice or maybe even make it a reality.

Living in Hungary, I've been daydreaming about a motorcycle trip to Nordkapp for quite some time. It's about an 8000 km round trip, which unfortunately seems a bit out of reach for me considering my limited holidays. However, I'm not one to give up easily, so I'm exploring a couple of options.

Firstly, I'm wondering if anyone would be up for a swap. I ride a BMW R1200R and a V-Strom 650, and in return for a Norwegian or Swedish swap, I'd be more than happy to host someone in Budapest and show them around Lake Balaton or other scenic spots. It could be a great opportunity for both of us to experience something new.

Alternatively, if a swap isn't feasible, I'd greatly appreciate any tips on affordable renting options in Norway or Sweden.

A bit about myself: even though this is my first time posting on this forum, I've been riding for almost 20 years, so I consider myself quite experienced. I've covered a fair bit of Europe in smaller trips, from Tallinn to the coast of Albania, so I'm no stranger to the joys of motorcycle travel. I like to think of myself as a chill rider who enjoys the journey as much as the destination.

So, if anyone has any insights, suggestions, or perhaps even an interest in a swap, I'd love to hear from you.

Ride safe,
Ben
