Hi from Sweden

Post by CbfRider »

Hej,

Lynw here, some of you may remember me (or not want to lol) but been bikeless for a long while and off the forums for equally as long.

A lot happened in that time, now resident in Sweden and finally back biking and loving the biking here. A country twice the size of the UK and 1/7th the population (and traffic) is heaven for biking... and most people get scooters at 15 so have 2 wheel experience so the drivers are pretty decent on the whole (Stockholm is excepted lol).

Just thought I would rejoing TRC and then saw the update that its closing down so joined here as I will no doubt need some help with some maintenance questions about the CBF at some point.

Hope everyone is doing great, I am in a far better place than I was last time I was on the forum. And if anyone has any plans for touring in Scandinavia, give me a holler. I have a trip from here in Huskvarna to Bergen, up to Tromso, and down through Sweden on hold thanks to the travel restrictions in place right now. But the Atlantic road is my main bucket list ride right now :D

Thanks Weeksy. :thumbup:

Mr Longbeard, I know many Swedes who refuse to eat surströmming too!! And no amount of alcohol exists to ever get me to say "ja" to my friend who comes from the north and regularly eats it and says I should try it lol
