Just returned from my trip and thanks to the info on here did some fantastic roads. The Aursjovegen was my highlight, and would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about it.

Help with Lofoten
Hi, I'm new to this site, I've just got my GS after not having a bike for 6+ years.
I used to live in Svolvaer in Lofoten, in the mid 90's and I have been up there on my bike and in car a few of times since. I still have a lot of friends up there and I am planing another trip up there sooner of later too see them.
It's a great place to visit and defiantly worth the trip.
Although it is a while since I lived there if I can be any help please drop me a line.

Hi!
I'm late - sorry.
But I could'nt help as I have never been at Lofoten.
-But perhaps we meet!

That's why Norway has virtually no tourism, I suppose that itself makes it an attractive destination. You can do Norway on the cheap, stay in hostels and don't dine or drink out.I'm in Oslo at the moment and glad it's a business trip - £27 for a pizza and 400ml glass of Coke Zero
Everything seems to cost basically double the price at home

It's worth saving for we spent 3 1/2 weeks going up through sweden to Nordkapp then down west coast, absolutely superb think it cost about 2 1/2 K all in and we did not camp not that cheap but what a holiday (6500 miles rnd trip)
Camp, take your own food and top up with occasional supermarket purchases. It really is not too expensive. Coffee and cake or coffee and snacks at Statoil stations are good deals too.

Many places do free or half price refils on coffee too

Bike Hire near Oslo
Anybody have any recommendations for a bike hire company in Oslo or Bergan for a trip up to the North Cape.

Norway is expensive, no question about it. But there are a lot of misleading info around. Sven; I am pretty sure this was a large pizza for 2-3 persons?
An Italian style pizza for one is usually between NOK 120 - 180 in a nice place in Oslo, let's say 150 on average. Add 35 for the drink, and remember that you are not expected to tip. At today's rates that is around GBP 16. I don't think I pay that much less in London, with your 10 -15% tips added?

Just wondering who the UK registered GS was that I passed on the 520 between Håra to Sauda last week. Probably one of the most awesome of awesomest roads I've ever done, even though I was in the cage !! https://www.facebook.com/K100RS/videos/10152920333926496/?l=1464821560907113655

Fabulous videos! Thanks for posting.
I've been a couple of times to your beautiful country to go diving out of Narvik and Bergen. Next time will definitely be on the motorbike

norway at the end of feb...
i've just had a quick scan through the massive selection of posts and info, but couldn't see anything about the, erm, colder months. i fancy doing the primus rally, near oslo, at the end of next february and am unsure about a lot of things. mainly what kind of tyres to use? is it a legal requirement to have winter tyres?/studded tyres? can i have studs fitted at a garage when the weather turns bad? can i use studded tyres if there is no snow/ice on the roads? what about snow chains? any help appreciated. karl
