Scootin' on top of the World

I got this e-mail from Frankie5Angles, a DBI Freelancer who's ridin' in Norseland this month, and thought I'd share it with y'all. On the right's a picture I took at Trader Jack's Roadside during Bike Week 2006

Hellö from da top of da world!

We decided to cross da border over to Norway today after all. Fuck it, we're already wet and freezing so it doesn't matter much. We went to check in a hotel on da Norse side and da clerk said 1 room wit 2 beds was 600 dollars!!! We think that was his way of telling us he didn't want bikers to stay there. Fucking jerk-offs all over da world I guess. ):->
We got a room on da Finnish side for $20 each. We start back south of da Artic circle tomorrow and Vedde (my Finnish co-worker) and I should be back inHellsinki Thursday (July 13). This has been quite an experiance. There is no place like this on earth. The scenery is amazing, and da fact that people actually live here year round is even more amazing. My buddy Sami said last winter it was -47 c in Lapland with 3 meters of snow!! Fuck, that's cold!! You can ride for 100+ miles and see no one anywhere. Just Reindeer and Moose. Well, I better get some rest as tomorrow is anotherlong day of riding.
The first day we rode 12 hours from Hellsinki to Lapland over 600 miles! Today we rode 12 hours too but only half da milage as it was freezing and raining it's ass off all da while trying to dodge Reindeer. At one point we rounded a turn to see over 100 of them in da middle of da road. Needless to say bikers here are da real thing. No trailor queens like in da states!!
