Whether you are planning to go or are already riding in Norway, here are some useful sources for your two wheel adventure!
Motorcycle rental
Fly & ride? Located only 30 minutes from the Oslo Airport Gardermoen, the family business ‘Nordic Riders‘ offers both rental bikes and custom and premade riding routes to the most scenic locations and roads in Norway. 👍🏻
Weather forecast
Yr.no is a collaborative weather forecast service delivered by Meteorologisk Institutt and the national TV broadcaster NRK. Probably the most reliable weather forecast for Norway – and its available in English. 👌 Also check my own Weather Planner for motorcyclists!

Planning 🗺️
I find it difficult to claim that one tool is clearly better than others. They all have strength and weaknesses. But what I CAN say, is that I’m super-happy with My Route App (MRA) for roadtrips. They offer a great web interface for planning, and an App for turn-by-turn navigation on my phone.
If I want to be more adventurous on gravel and off-road, I use Stegra.io
