Just four days after returning from my first long ride, I was invited to a family friend who had rented a small fishing- cabin in the deeeep forests on the Swedish border.:D:D:p
To level the matrimonial balance, she once again sad Yes!
I was partly riding in and on the outskirts of a national park, but the weather there was too heavy to get a picture.
Anyway, 1315kms of joy, alot of smiles. Fuel average at 44.7 mpg.
Temps between 55-75.
Wine organic red from Cameleon Argentina…very good.
Here’s a few pics.

A small tribute to those who supplies the fuel for my ST…..slightly misplaced location of these rigs perhaps…

Very cheap and nice accomodation at a troutriver near Gol. $50.

About 60 miles of gravel/dirt roads before I reached my destination. Very demanding riding.

The cabin with my host pondering on the bench. Electricity from solar panel. Outdoor peeing. Moose droppings everywhere…

My favourite fishing spot. Sweden on the other side of the lake. Caught pike and bass, just enough for dinner.

A selfservice cabin on my return, very cosy and $33 a night.

Heavy rain awaits ahead, but nice roads kept up the spirit.

Beautiful pictures of the countryside. That dirt road must have been a tough ride and felt longer I bet. Thanks for the ride along.

You’re welcome!
Shared happiness doubles up, or something like that.
In the beginning I just dared to hold 25mph, but after a while I could hold 40mph….had a few near tip overs.
Very little traffic luckily.
Radiator was hit by quite alot of pebbles and sand, but after a good cleanup, I couldn’t find any damages.
