Hello
In Norway we have lots of pay -roads, -bridges, -tunnels and -rings in
cities. Allmost all of them is free (no pay) for motorcycles. And the
very few wich claims pay for motorcykles will cost you about 12 NOK. (4
DEM). I am not quite sure, but I think Trondheim is free for
motorcycles.
Wellcome to Norway, it is butifull in summertime. Specially the western
cost from Bergen an north.
