Hello Folks - nice you remembered me :)

In 2014 I made my 8500 km trip to Portugal, Spain and Gibraltar. All pictures HERE!

In 2015 and 2016 I only visited some rallies with my micro airstream behind the bike.

This June and July I plan to visit Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Norway to see the midnight sun and celebrate Midsummers Night in Stockholm.
9500 km with three weeks time to reach the Nordkapp and come back.

:applause: wow :applause: wow :applause: wow

Just read this from start to finish.

I'm a huge fan of tiny trailers (yet to build my own) and a keen motorcyclist too, so your build has been fascinating.

Well done sir :thumbsup:

Wow is right! What an awesome road trip and some pretty fabulous pictures to prove it.

I wonder how easy it was for you to get turned around when you got to the point where the road was covered with snow pack?

So nice to see how much use you're getting out of it. Thanks for the update.

That was a challenge, because the road was as wide as my rig long :(
Rolled slowly back and made a sharp turn backwards until the stern of the trailer hung over the abyss, then turned downwards.
Main problem: No reverse gear! But the Goldwing now has got one :)

Yes - 1600 more pictures :?

I'm busy deleting, to reduce the number of pics, that I will edit in the end of the process.
When I'm thru, there will be a new link HERE

Norway, Copenhagen and Stockholm were three items on my bucket list :)
