Re: Two wheels and a fishing rod
Enjoyed your report. I also like to pack a fishing outfit when away on the bike. A telescopic rod all set up & ready to fish. Keep it on top of kit in side pannier, so quick access and with it already set up with lure attached, can be fishing within minutes (mainly trout fishing). Your set-up s...

Re: Norway 2016
Steve great wee RR and photos, I'm hoping to do the Nordkapp thing next year as a matter of interest what would the average cost of the ferries in the Fjiords cost I know Norway isn't the cheapest of places to visit.

How have you mounted the main unit? Clamp or stick-on patch?

Bluetooth headset for BMW System 6 helmet?
BMW's own bluetooth setup seems way overpriced - does anyone here know of an alternative that will mount well on the System 6 helmet?

EDZ Yeti fleece or Knox Cold Killers Winter Jacket?
Anyone have any experience with either or both of these two 'mid layers'?
I have a BMW GS Dry jacket and am looking for a packable warm layer for a trip to northern Norway in the summer.
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Paul
