Steinar's VFR season of 1996
In may 1996, I bought a 1995 VFR750F, registered in october 1995, with 3400km on the clock when I bought it. This picture archive, contains pictures from my first (but hopefully not last) season, on a VFR.

Veiskilt for 306
The roadsign that trancends languages. The text part of the sign goes "The road between Hvarnes and Nes, is". The rest is left as an excercise for the reader.

VFR på Hove fjellgard
My VFR 750F outside Hove fjellgard. I'd hoped for better weather, and their outdoors 'restaurant' to be operating. But this is Norway after all,... too cold and wet.

VFR på grus
The VFR as a dirt bike. There was a road marked from Ål in Hallingdal, to Hemsedal. It started out as an asphalt road. What to do when I hit dirt? Turn around? Nah!

VFR opp Sognefjellet
Climbing up Sognefjellet, the markers for each 100 metre zips past pretty quickly. Kinda steep... This is the 1000 metre line.

VFR ved polarsirkelen
West view of the arctic circle. As a kid, I used to think that the markers went all around the globe, and I used to wonder about the people who had put them up. Now I know better... but it's like there's a bit of magic missing... Saltfjellet, Norway
