    davie.jpgHi all!Svein here, picture showing my previous LT on a typical spring run. Had 3 Beemers: 1 K100RS which carried me and wife Astri some 150.000 miles all oaround Europe. Then a 1200LT which only lasted about 40.000K because of prohibitive maintenance costs. Current bike is a 2001 R1150RT named Gottfried. This one has the promise of being a long time family member!I run a hobby shop with remote control Big Boys Toys for a living (www.teknisk-hobby.no) , work 10-4 and spend as much time as possible on the bike, together with my wife of 40 years marriage. Got 2 kids and, sofar,  2 grandchildren. I also do a bit of free-lancing for the Norwegian motorcycle monthly MC-Avisa (www.mc-avisa.no) . Other bikes that have been living with me over the years: A number of Brit bikes, mostly BSA's. 1 Moto guzzi V7 Special, 2 Varaderos, 2 Tiger 955's.

    Welcome to the forum Svein and thanks for those amazing pictures. You can now compete with Jim from Maine about who has to shovel more snow. I really like snow, but it's a long distance relationship for me :-). Cheers,Alex

    There is one tiny little difference that I am jealous of. Norway has oil, that helps with the cash flow.

    Hi Svein. You live in very pretty country. I would love to ride the country in the summer. I spent 6 weeks in Hamar in 1994 in the winter.I also like the local singer Sissel. I have a couple of her CDs

    Here it is New Years Day in Maine and still SNOWING! I guess the slingers on my R69S will get done this year. Happy New Years to all and pray for peace on our Earth. Cheers. Jim
