Very nice bike, rich. Do you have a photo without any other bikes or cars in the background, and ideally without the boxes installed ... for a little collection of good CB1100 photos ? Thanks

Not in subfreezing temps, or anytime riding faster than 15 mph Wink

182 miles on the DLX today through several WV backroads….on one tank of gas. Still had one bar showing on the fuel gauge when I pulled into the garage. That’s the most miles I’ve ridden it in one day so far.

If you are coming to the rally this August, you’ll probably see that same HD Street Glide. It belongs to my friend Jeff, who attended the Kentucky rally in 2018.

That DLX is looking spicy! Great job!

There's a fjord right by the city I live in (Trondheim), and on the other side of it there's a large peninsula (Fosen) with lots and lots of 'secret' roads that are super exciting to ride. The scenery in Fosen changes so quickly (and significantly), you go from cruising along winding coastal roads to fairy tale forests to skirting hills and cliffs and gorges and in the interior there are proper mountains. I have lived here most of my life, but I am nowhere near having explored it all. To get there, I can either ride a couple of hours north of here and then turn west, or I can get on one of several ferries, the closest one about twenty minutes from my home. Yesterday I chose the first route, north on the 'highway', then west. I wanted to take a hidden road across a mountain that I've taken once before, to see if it really was as great as I remembered it (or if I was just euphoric from getting the CB1100).
After a couple of hours north and just a few km westward, this is the start of it. Up, up, up.

The road climbs fast through scattered houses and farms before turning into a dirt road for 25-30 km. That bit was a bit difficult last time, pebbles and dust and fishtailing CB, but it was in GREAT shape yesterday, smooth as silk and with enough grip to allow leaning in some corners which feels weirdly exhilarating (silk with lots of sheep on it, though - had to pay attention):

Almost at the top there's this what looks like a small quarry lake and a church, and even my atheist ass could appreciate the spiritual lift of having a place of worship up there in the heart of (almost) wild nature. Also, my camera does black and white quite nicely if conditions are right:

Then, crossing into the next municipality, the road becomes paved. Phew. The rest of the way it's just this absolutely perfect twistie that snakes through the mountain, passing rugged cliffs, untouched forests, lakes, and gorgeous, but probably challenging farmland.

Almost 80 km after the first picture, I stopped at this spot, thinking I had made it down to the fjord, but this was a fresh water lake and there was still some twisting descent left before I was down at sea level (I assume you know that a fjord is the ocean).

Next a 45 minute leg on the main Fosen roads took me to the closest ferry, which lands about twenty minutes from here. A fun, but busy road winding along the water's edge right over there to the city, which is the white stuff you see to the left.

Edit: this stretch, between the city and the ferry quay, is with no contest at all the road I have ridden bikes on the most. On my first bike, a BMW R65GS, I used to challenge myself in various ways: nothing but third gear, same rpm the entire way, never under a certain speed, then never under five more (and so on). It's busy, so you can never fully open up, but it's so curvy it doesn't matter. Every 30 minutes or so a ferry empties itself and a snake of cars go to town, but if I'm lucky and hit it between ferries it always puts a smile on my face. It continues past the ferry quay as well for a lovely ride around another farmland peninsula, so it's a very good starting point for a ride from Trondheim.

I saw a fox, several raptors, a flock of cranes, deer, sheep and more sheep, and at least four different varieties of cow.
This turned into a ride report again, didn't it?

About 5-6 hours round trip - zero traffic, and zero cops. Yay!
10/10!

Nice Hovmod. Reminds me a bit of west coast Canada. Zero traffic? Perfect.

Great, Hovmod. Sounds like wonderful riding.

Great pictures too.

Perfect day out Hovmod.
