BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Norway is on my Bucket list.  I want to get the family over there for a Christmas holiday.  I believe there is some area that goes to town for Christmas and has a village or area that you can stay at and its "real White Christmas stuff... Its a long way but if I sell a few of ...

There is a club over here called the Ulysses Motorcycle Club for older riders, min age of 40 to join ... So we tend to be a more laid back crowd.  We have an annual get together called the AGM and this year its in Wodonga (halfway between Sydney and Melbourne) so a group of us are off there...

Excellent info, really great stuff. I was secretly hoping that the 2014 was the same. The deal is very good on 2014 models. The keyless is no deal breaker hats for sure. I have a Prius that has that and I end up putting it in the little slot anyway.
