Riding to Sweden and Norway

Three of us recently rode to Lillehammer (about a hundred miles north of Oslo) in Norway. I was riding my Ducati Multistrada from Oxfordshire in England while Matt (on his Triumph Tiger XC) and Bob (on his Yamaha MT-09 Tracer) were riding from the Isle of Man. Taking different ferries, we met near Rotterdam in the Netherlands, before blasting across Germany and catching the ferry to Gothenburg and then riding north. From there the fun began with Sweden and Norway's excellent roads: well maintained, smooth, quiet and twisty.

Below you'll find three videos of different stages of our 8 day, 2,020 mile trip, the routes we took and some pictures from along the way.

Volvo Museum, Gothenburg

On our recent tour of Sweden and Norway we stopped off at the Volvo Museum while we were in Gothenburg. Inside they have their models dating from the 1920s through to today's cars, trucks, buses, racing cars and concept vehicles which didn't make production.

Below is a highlights gallery and video.

Car and Motorcycle Sound Compilation

If there's one reason which is stopping me jumping aboard the electric car revolution, it's the lack of aural drama. I love the sound of a big V8, or a screaming motorcycle engine. With that in mind, and an ever-growing collection of video footage in my archives, I decided to pull together a video encompassing some of the best examples I've recorded over the last year or so. So, if you want to hear what a couple of V12 Lamborghini Diablos and a Ferrari F12 sound like when they're attacking their rev limiters in unison sounds like, then look no further. On the two wheeled front, prepare to be assaulted by the aggressive roar of Isle of Man TT bikes, accelerating flat out at around 180mph. You'll find that, and more, in the video below. Turn up your speakers, and enjoy.
