My kind of bridge

Yep, it would be a blast to do it on a bike at that speed. 
I think I'd like to practise it a bit slower, being on the wrong side of the road.   :eek

Sitting here sticking to my chair in 30+ degrees at 8:22 am, I am thinking that a trip to Norway on that road would be really 'cool'. Anybody know how much it would cost to get my ST to Norway?

More cost effective to rent one when you get there.

Nah, I might ride overland on the ST like the bloke in Biggles story. Would have to take my favourite girl, or maybe rent one?????  Might be a good road but too far away, and we have some great roads here that I have yet to ride!

Wouldn't cost as much and there would be no one to nag me (you don't have to talk to them). Be less stuff to carry too.
