Motorcycling Kinship in Norway

Send us Fan Mail Rain taps the gear, nighttime hangs over the fjord, and I’m recording from a ship’s deck in Norway, far from my usual home base in Loveland, Colorado. What started as a delayed 40th wedding anniversary trip quickly turns into something bigger: a reminder that the world can feel enormous on a map, yet strangely close when you meet the right people.  Karen and I come to Norway carrying a lot of gratitude, and we get to live it out through real connections, not just sightseeing. We reunite with Maria, a former exchange student from Oslo who once lived with us, now building her own family. We also look ahead to Sweden next, where Karen’s roots pull us toward cousins and conversations that make travel feel personal.  Then we walk through old cobblestone streets and run into a motorcycle meetup. Different machines show up side by side, Harleys, BMWs, Ducati, Yamaha, Honda Goldwings, and somehow the brands do not matter. What hits me is the instant sense of belonging: riders as brothers and sisters, good people with a shared love for nature, community, and the calm thrill of motorcycling. It is a motorcycle podcast moment that speaks to rider camaraderie worldwide, even when you’re thousands of miles from your own garage.  Buy Ron a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/peacelovemoto Gear Up at the Shop: https://peacelovemotostore.com 📬 Get in Touch Contact: [email protected] BMW, Triumph, Honda, Ducati, mindfulness, motorcycle meditation, peak awareness, zen rider, twist twist breath, slow down move fast, wind therapy, throttle focus, mental clarity, two-wheel meditation, riding presence, open road peace, conscious riding, moto zen, inner peace, road therapy
