YES


Make sure you go tell your friend and his father what a great time you had too.

Congrats on the trip! If you like France, you're gonna love Norway
Best time of year is actually now, because over the last few weeks everything has turned green after a long winter and all the flowers are blossoming, end of may/early june are absolutely fantastic over here.
Pretty much everything here is scenic, but just to highlight a few stretches that I've driven:

Fv51 between Fagernes and Vågåmo
Fv55 between Lom and Sogndal
E6 from Lillehammer to Dombås
E16 from Lærdal til Bergen via Voss
Rv15 from Stryn to Byrkelo
Fv63 from Åndalsnes down via Geiranger to Rv15 (very touristy in summer, but for a good reason!)
Fv64 "Atlanterhavsvegen" from Kristiansund southwards, with the famous bridge

These are just a few to get you started, from the top of my head. Basically, you can't go wrong here as far as scenic drives go. I'm probably a little bit biased but even if you'd correct for that it's still pretty amazing!

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
