First of all, thanks for putting my blog on the opening page. If the road is so narrow that two vehicles can not pass each other without one has to give way, it is permitted to use the entire road´s width. We have roads with center lines, but as long as they don´t have a double line, one can cross without being fined. The roads with missing center lines usually has little traffic and we prefer to travel outside the tourist season, usually in late May (best weather). In July and most of August the roads are way over-populated by tourists and it's not as fun to drive, but compared to the traff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fd02gNmQiY MC-routes in western Norway. The Fiord district. I´ve had several requests on what parts of western Norway is worth travelling on a motorcycle.

It is the Laerdalstunnel in western Norway. Being the longest tunnel in the country, it is more than 15 miles, the constructors made three of these halls, to counteract claustrophobia among the drivers.

The best time to visit (western) Norway would be early June before the summer traffic sets in. The weather usually is better in June, but if I were to choose between July or August, I would recommend late in August. Here is a picture from another sweet place for mountain carving; Lysebotn in sw-Norway: I don't know how drunk the road engineers were when building this road, but it's a lot of fun to ride.

It's the Aurland fiord, part of the Sognefiord, world's second longest fiord, stretching more than 120 miles. More info here This route is possible to view in FlashStream on RoadMC.com. Select: Norway> Aurland-Laerdal 2003 in the menu. There is a new stream published, showing The Sogn Mountain Road - "Sognefjellsveien 2004", one of the most scenic roads in Norway.

Banks of snow at the Aurland Mountain Road,
tob commented on tob's gallery image in Member's Gallery
I dont know how high they were, but the bank on the right was at least 15 feet high, maybe as much as 20. It was like driving through a corridor, not knowing what was around next corner. -
Exhaust pipes are, on the R1: Yoshimura and on my VFR: G&G Bike. Hesjedal Waterfall is by the road from Dale (east of Bergen) to Modalen. Very narrow roads and very scenic.
