Norway Classic Meet

This weekend the Norwegian Classic Meet was arranged by the Classic Suzuki club. There were about 70 bikes at the meet under a bright sun and blue sky the whole weekend :)
As it is 500km each way, on very variable roads with mountain crossings etc, we took our bikes in a van instead of riding the whole distance. I brought my blue 550 and my friend the green custom 550.
I have loads of pictures but need to transfer and organise them, but will post some in this thread later. But one of the club board members has uploaded a bunch of pictures here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x4k7hxd9yn00 ... mNw4PA9gQa" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hey Knut, Thanks for sharing that. Very enjoyable indeed. Looks like that little country has at least half of the planet's remaining stock of Water Buffalos! :D 8)

Yes we have our share of buffalos over here. Suzuki was large in Scandinavia in the 70's, and still is, with dealerships all over.

Pay notice to the '77 GT750B, with black side panels. That particular bike is, as far as its possible to document (and the research has gone deep on this one), the very last GT750 to ever roll off the production line. That specific bike is marking the end of an icon.
