  • TET Norway has been updated and the new sections goes through the gravel roads on the West Coast. There are many fantastic roads with amazing views. A lot of them are paved roads but there is fantastic scenery with lots of twisty roads, fjords and mountains.
    TET Norway is now 17 sections and it has little bit over 9000km!

    TET Norway Linesman says:
    This is the biggest revision of TET Norway since we started. Limitations because of restrictions to preserve the wild reindeer herds force us to avoid the area of Nordøsterdalen for a while. Because of this we have added a series of new Sections that will take you through most of the absolute best motorcycle roads in the western parts of Norway.

    Expect breathtaking scenery around every corner, going from 1 meter above sea level at one moment to 1000 meters above sea level the next. It is not all on dirt, but it is still very much an adventure with spectacular views and small twisty paved roads in areas where there is hardly room for a road.

    The following text will soon be included on the TET N webpage, but in the meantime here’s the detail:

    When to ride:

    A lot of the roads are high up in the mountains. Depending on the winter, some of the roads may not open until end of June. We would say that mid-June through September would be the best time frame for a trip through all the sections.

    Expect a lot of tourists on some of these routes in July, especially Lysebotn, Geiranger and Lofoten. It is possible to ride the routes in the tourist season as well, but expect some traffic.

    Ferries:

    Unavoidably there are lots of ferry crossings on the new TET N route. We recommend that you create an account at www.ferrypay.no This will get you better prices on the ferries and save a lot of time.


  • My BMW G650 XChallenge and my friends new bike Suzuki DRZ4s riding around the forest roads and tracks in Salo. We started from Kisko (or Toija). The video is in Finnish but there’s not much talking.

    The route was following partly the one that I made about a month ago.
    I found some really great tracks back then and now I was able to add a couple more. This was definitely the best ride of the year!


  • I’ve done this ride now 3 times this year. First I made the real adventure ride in June:

    This was 203 kilometers and it took around 5 hours. You can check the video of this ride here
    Then I made a smooth adventure ride (about 30km of gravel road) like this:

    This was 159km and it took around 3 hours. It would have been much faster but I arrived to Tallinn by boat on friday afternoon at 5PM. So there was a rush hour and the first 20km took about 1 hour.
    Video of this ride here:

    And 2 pictures of that evening:

    When I was riding back to Tallinn from this trip I chose the main road number 4. It’s also called “Via Baltica”. That is 132km and it took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I don’t have a video of this ride because it was raining and the road is very boring!

  • August Fever

    Still riding OffRoad!
    Later this autumn it would be nice to make one challenging riding day with some of my friends. And since there is still many tracks and paths I didn’t ride in Salo area… I made a track for me to check some new places.
    I’m sorry but I’m not sharing this gpx here -not even as a picture.

    There’s definitely some places that can be much more challenging after the rain. Now it was dry everywhere.

  • And I ordered one ofcourse!

    The sensor is now 1/1,1 inches (same sensor than DJI Osmo Action 6)
    It shoots 8K 360 video in 50fps (X5 was 30fps)
    Max photo resolution for 360 picture is 120MP!
    It weights less than X5, it’s 24,5mm shorter and 4mm wider

    It has 2600mAh battery that makes possible even 3 hours of 8K video shooting!

  • I decided to test if it’s really true that I might not enjoy riding any more?!?
    I was riding a day and I was trying to find the kind of tracks that I usually enjoy the most. These are the OffRoad tracks that are not too difficult… I checked few new ones from the map but I didn’t make any route beforehand.

    I made about 100km’s… Like this!

    I started with riding in the forest without any paths -it was full Off Road!

    And my route went by an old copper mine (Orijärven kuparikaivos)

    And ofcourse I made a video about my day:

    And YES! I was enjoying the day a lot! Gonna do it again soon!

  • Yesterday suddenly around 2 PM I thought “Let’s go riding!”
    I didn’t take my camera and I didn’t take my GPS! I just put on some light riding gear and did it.

    That was 210 kilometers with roads and tracks that I’ve done before. But without GPS I was also little bit lost few times. That was fun!

    This is the forest road in Lönnhammar (Lohja).

    This is a small pond near Suomusjärvi. Been here many times but this summer it was the first time!

    This is the place of my terrible crash 9 years ago! (Blog update here)

    And the last picture I took quite near of my home and added it to the picture chase of moottoripyora.org. This is a nice one because you can’t find it right away with google or AI.


  • This will be between 03.08.2026 – 18.08.2026
    The area is around Hukkakero, Kittilä…
    TET Sections 1 and 7 are NOT possible to ride through!
    You need to find detour that is best for you.


  • TransEuroTrail organisation added a new layer to the atlas.transeurotrail.org
    You can now see the fire warnings in the area of the TET!
    The normal view looks like this:

    And on the upper-left corner you can see the button…
    And when you click it:

    This is the view with the fire warnings.
    But you must remember this is not “official” -it’s always better to find out where you can see the official information!
    In Finland that would be here: https://en.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/warnings
