200KM ride last Sunday

Me and a friend from work, Atle,  took our motorcycles out for a 200KM ride last Sunday, the weather was great and it was nice to drive together with someone. Atle drives a Honda V45 Magna 750C.

The ride from Kristiansand to the smaller places inland like Vegusdal sets for a ride full of neck-braking turns while the return from Arendal to Kristiansand we drove on E18 which is the main highway in this area.

We had a stop in Arendal for pizza and by coincidence the yearly boat exhibition was on that day so we got to see some nice boats as well :)
