This is Part 16 of my trip continuing the journey today reaching the start of the 630Km Kystriksveien (a really scenic Coastal Road), Norway is just full of fabulous roads and scenery, the weather continues to be very kind to me, and the hours of daylight make it difficult to know when to stop for the day. If you’re reading this and get the opportunity I can truly recommend it!
The whole journey took me through the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and into Norway right the way up to Nordkapp, the furthest point you can travel by motorcycle or car in mainland Europe and then back through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France over a 7 week period late May – mid July 2023
I am back in the UK now, but please do add your comments and I’ll get back to you.
Hoping you can “Like” the video, as this does help the channel.
All my best wishes, thanks again for watching

Thanks again Nick!
Love this series Nick, thank you , some journey and the video is a great way to relive it and for us to see it , cheers.
Sometimes motorways/fast roads are a necessary evil when progress is required. The camp site at the end seemed very peaceful.
Love the Journey, did most of it back in 1984 on a gsx750, would be interesting to do a vidoe on costings for the trip.
Even E6 looked like a pleasant ride. You were lucky finding such nice campsites. Looking forward to next week’s episode. Cheers for now, Jim
Loving your trip. Thanks for sharing it with us. Your the personification of calm. Badly needed in these times.
Yet another great episode Nick thanks. Audio whilst riding was pretty muffled I thought.
Not the most interesting episode Nick…. Bit of feedback:-the audio quality is somewhat ‘dull’, not always able to hear your ‘mutterings’!
Great series Nick enjoying it thanks.
As I recently got a CB500X I follow you closely and looking forward to summer when I can ride my own in Sweden. A little suggestion: In some situations your voice is very low and sometimes hard to understand, at least for a non-englishman, so please raise your voice a little.
I'm norwegian and agree with you on E6. Røros if going east and the ferries west of Trondheim if going west would be my recommendation. Anyway, thank you for visiting our country.
