Sounds great, never been to Orkney, Scotland is brilliant.

Whereabouts are you up there?

What a coincidence, just been looking at motorcycle tour operators and White Rose Tours are, for the first time, offering a trip to Norway.

Haven't used the guys myself yet, but they are local to me and I have heard some good reports.

Excellent, have you been to Austria before, we were there last year.

It's a shame the ferry doesn't run from Newcastle to Norway anymore.

What's Norway like for motorcyclists?

Looking at the possibility of a 2 week trip to Germany.

What have you got planned for 2015?

Living in the NE of England, approximately halfway between Lands End & John O'Groats allowed me to take two separate 4 day trips to LE & JOG.

Had a week at Klotten on the Mosel in Germany & a 16 day trip to Northern Spain.

Where did you get to in 2014?

Swapped the cylinder head protectors from the 2010 bike to the 2012 model, didn't use a torque wrench, just hand-tight.

The 2010 model pictured was part-ex'd at Allan Jefferies.

Test road one and preferred the Twin Cam model.

What have you got?

Now on to my second Twin Cam model, had a 2010 bike (see photo) covering 38,000 miles in 4 years.



Recently changed it for a 2012 model in Midnight Blue Metallic with 3,000 miles on the clock.

What have you got or had?

Had a 2007 model for 3.5 years covering 39,000 miles.
