I highly recommend the country! Can't wait to go back. Bergen is seriously the hottie capital of the world and the scenery is spectacular.

Fantastic video (nice camerawork as well) -- not many times that I watch something and wish I was there!

I need to go make the same trip sometime with side detours through Sweden and Finland (I'm USA/Finnish heritage) -- and do it when I'm still single! Anyone have a spare motorcycle they'd like to loan me for 2 or 3 weeks?

Also anyone know whom is the musician/artist in the background music throughout?

Thanks for posting!

Mark,

You can either ---
Take my bike in exchange for some MotoCreations goodies
or
Rent a bike and we can go together

The music is the Icelandic band Sigur Ros (victorious rose).
It's their first CD, Von (hope). It's the third track you hear in the video.
Their following albums are less dark, but very very very good.
The amount of depth and mistery/adventure is astounding.
Lyrics are a mix of Icelandic and a self invented "Hopelandish".
It's my favorite band - by a large margin.

Cool video! How's Denmark for riding? I've got the Danish-American thing going (unfortunately not a choice on the census, or for scholarships, or affirmative action).

What's the helmet the guy on the R1200 is wearing? It looks to be full-faced, but have a nice field-of-view...

Danes are very nice people, laid back and welcoming. Denmark is completely flat, which makes their
roads a little boring, IMHO.

I don't know excactly which brand, but I think it's not a full face - the chin bar isn't fully covering the chin. I would call it a Gold Wing helmet.....
