belfastguzzi Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 It's somewhere I have wanted to get to – someone should arrange a trip – and figure out for me how I can find some free time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already planned next years trips- all the UK Guzzi Club rallies, hopefully the UK and German V11 rallies plus Erin and a biking holiday in the USA. Thats what I get for carrying 15 days holiday over into next year! I really fancy Norway in 2007 though. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy 69365[/snapback] Thats it then, discuss it at the Erin this year, also serves the purpose that we can tolerate each others offline personality and presence. and then arrange for 07. There was a big scandinavian rally that was posted on here that could be an idea to take in. If we arrange it in advance you should be able to sort the time away one hopes. Mdude posted one for 06 and Tikkanen posted an 05 Nordic one in Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belfastguzzi Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 "There was a big scandinavian rally that was posted on here that could be an idea to take in." Saw that, but there's no way of getting the free time. 2007 though...... "tolerate each others offline personality and presence" This is clearly the biggest problem. The ferry crossing should provide more than enough social contact. Thereafter, I suggest that Guzzirider travels North to South, you go West to East, I'll go South – North. Plus, 2007 gives Guzzirider a whole extra year to mature... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guzzirider Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Why would I want to mature????? My mental age of 18 suits me fine. I am happy to carry a zimmer frame and a camode for the old men of the trip. Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sure...plan around me In all fairness, I probably wouldn't be able to match everyone else's schedules. That and I probably wouldn't be able to keep up pint-wise during the ferry crossing though it would be nice to launch an invasion on Norway with a platoon of Guzzis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When driving in Norway you have to expect some bad weather, so dress for it. I'd say that late July probably has the most stable weather, but theres such a lot of traffic in late july/early august when everyones on holiday.... old german geezers with mobile homes... And: theres a ferry from Newcastle to Bergen. When in Bergen, you are right in the middle of it all. Drive north or south along the coast and be amazed. I also think that the prices on booze on the ferry will help to smooth out all personality issues... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
