Great vid as always Dag!! Whats all that white stuff around your bike? 

[ossvalk]

probably was not the smartest thing I have ever done, there was ice in lots of places running across the roads and salt on many of the intersections but it did feel pretty darn good.

Next time I do this I must remember to plug in the heated gloves though.


Dag you are the bomb.....and a real bad influence lol.....riding or pushing that bike across the snow.  Good thing its not an interstate you have a 100 lb lighter bike to deal with

[Dag]

So its not only in Norway they use salt.. That should be forbidden!
Do you have real winter in NY?

[Sludge]

They had a pretty good winter up in Tromso Norway that I once recall spending a month and a half of in a snow cave.

Operation "Cold Winter 88"

I was a US Marine and we spent the better part of 2 months moving every day or so and sleeping in snow caves.  No heat.  Very cold for the first two weeks. I actually wondered how I would survive.  After we got aclimated, it wasnt so bad.  Great northern light show.  LONG nights LOL.  I flew in helos (no heat there either) and the country up there was to say the least... Stunning!  Lots of work on the night vision goggles.  It was a very memorable trip and I would love to visit again, and experience that, except for the snow caves. ;)

We moved around alot of the area from Tromso, to Harstad, and Narvic.  Went a bit further north, but I cant remember any of the names.  Just the forest and snow.  I quickly learned not to land my helo on anything that had any sticks poking up from the snow.  It was the top of a small tree.  After a rather large hole in the bottom of my helo, we didnt make that mistake again LOL
