New to me Yamaha XT350 first trip: Norwegian mountain roads

Recently bought this beauty!
As a 16 year old boy, a long time ago, I used to ride a Suzuki ts50x and dual sport bikes was the real deal! Driving this bike is almost like beeing 16 again and is tons of fun to drive!
After buying and driving it a short drive to the gas station, this is the first real drive with this bike, and I decided to go driving on some nice mountain roads locally. Bringing a sleeping bag, fishing rod and plan to sleep under the stars somewhere..
Not all goes as planned, and I end up returning home. Beeing 20-25 kilometers away from mobile phone reception and to break down is more adventure than I had planned for today.. So I played safe and went home.
Hopefully the bike is soon back on the road and ready for more fun!

Great vid! I was just in Trondheim, beautiful place. Can't wait to ride my XT350 in South Africa

Many thanks 😊! I can imagine there are many roads and places that a XT350 or other dual sport bike would be really fun to drive in South Africa also 😊

@@mattdrat3087 really like the old dual sport bikes. They give an impressive amount of driving pleasure for its engine size 😊
