Around the world Norwegians

[Lunatic]

I got stopped up for a couple days with shiping parts out to folks. These two fellows from Norway stopped past my place for a stop over. They are traveling around the planet on their Nimbus sidecar rigs.

As XS11 topics go, they stopped here and admired my XS1100 sidecar, but not a whole lot past that.

That's cool! I see they passed through my REAL home state of Montana. Through some of the roughest terrain too.

THEY MISSED YELLOWSTONE PARK! And Jackson Hole Wyoming. But the snow in Yellowstone is probably around 8' about now.

But they're Norwegians, they're used to that!

They're looking for a place to stay, about half way between Minneapolis and Milwaukee if anyone has a place to offer.

tell them to stay north (maybe)

If they keep to the UP of Michigan, they can crash out at my place when they hit the Lower (Peninsula). Although, that may not be wise, as the kind folks at the weather service forecast a foot of snow by Sunday. It's an option, though.

Update

Yesterday they visited the Spam museum in Austin MN and are now headed into WI on their way to meet up with Eric Buell.
bad joke of the day?
"What do Nimbus Riders and Buell riders have in common."

oh, thats not nice at all.
I', ashamed of having posted that . . . sort of.

The duo have entrusted me with T shirt sales for the US. This shoudl be fun.
Traveling the world vicariously with those two. What an adventure!
