    In 2016, there was a general ban on bonfires in forests and fields from 15 April to 15 September, but there are exceptions: "It is still permitted to make a fire where it obviously cannot cause a fire". In addition, the municipalities can grant permission for bonfires if local conditions so require. The exception also applies to established campfires.

    Great Video! I just turned 62 and ride a KLR-650. I carry the most gear for my comfort which is why I use a small single wheel offroad trailer. Keeps weight down low and off my motorcycle. I enjoy riding offroad more than on the road. Don't let age stop you. Being comfortable is so important. And if you use a CPAP to sleep with that is an easy fix and shouldn't keep you out of the woods. Regards, Jude

    Question for Emma; you've got the Enduristan handlebar bag (can't see if it's the small or the large one) on your motorcycle. It has an innovative fastening clamp system, as the manufacturer describes it, but I believe it's quite loose on your handlebar. How did you attach it? The only downside I see, is it doesn't have a quick lock system to detach the bag from its base, so in crowded areas you always have to take your valuables out of the bag to avoid it gets stolen.

  • @Skidmate
    @Skidmate2 ай бұрын

    Hi! I have the large version of the Handlebar bag and I use it upside down (because my handlebar has a crossbar). It fits really well on my handlebars, but it comes with 2 sizes of inlays and I use one big and one small one. If you want to I can measure the diameter of my bars, so you can know for sure! And yes these aren't removable (except for the phone case), but I'll take that over a tank bag any day😂. Thanks for commenting. cheers!🏍🙋‍♀️

    @@Skidmate You're welcome! If you would be so kind, because my bike has a crossbar as well, as I assume the standard diameters (22,28,32) for the handlebar will fit seamlessly.

    Very nice trip and scenery. I will point out however that open fire at summertime in Norway is strictly regulated. "Between 15 April and 15 September there is a general bonfire ban in Norway. In that case, it is not normally permitted to light bonfires, disposable grills, fire pans and other open fires in forests and outback without permission from the municipality."
