Cabo da Roca (Portugal) to Nordkapp (Norway)
For 14 years I dreamt of this trip. The journey was already planned a long time ago, and throughout all those years I had acquired a vast amount of information from people who had already gone to the North Cape in different types of vehicles.
In the few that had gone on a two wheeled vehicle, there where two details that immediately grabbed my attention, excluding me off the candidate list: One; having a tourism bike, and Two; having 5000€ to spend! I don't have a touristic bike, nor would I ever spend 5000€ on myself and leave the rest of my family at home. My objective is to show that it is possible to go on an almost 12 000 km trip with a non-touristic bike, without spending a great amount of money. This way, people can see that motorbike touring is at the grasp of any one regardless of what bike they have or the size of their bank account.
I consider it to be an enriching experience at all levels. I travelled through Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway. I drove close to 12 000kms in the most varied types of atmospheric conditions: sun, rain, cold, snow, from temperatures of 32ºC in Spain to +2ºC in Norway.
This was not only a 15 day trip of about 12 000kms, these were days of adventure in direct contact with other people, other cultures, other customs, and the indescribable beauty of the landscapes saluting me daily. I will never forget...
