Hey!
I ride a 2008 SVSA and am a student in your quite windy (but beautiful) country. :D I have a few questions:
When does the season "officialy" start? In how much time will the rides be less about "fuck i think i`ve frozen to the seat"? :lmao:
What ride routes cand you recommend around Aarhus/Horsens area?
Is it okay to park on the sidewalks? Do I need a parking disc (that would look really funny)?
What is the general attitude of the politi towards bikers? :innocent:
Where does the average biker go for a beer in the above mentioned region?
google translate work like a charm so writing in danish is ok.
Thanks

1.march - about may/june :-)

Dont know, im from Copenhagen :-)

No parking disc. It depends on the specific city, rules a different from town to town :-( normally it is accepted if a (danish barnevogn) in the double size can pass on the sidewalk, but its better to park on the road, if theres a parking space for motorcycles', otherwise you can use a parking spot for a car...
What is the general attitude of the politi towards bikers? :innocent:
Dont ride like an idiot, and be polite if pulled over.
Where does the average biker go for a beer in the above mentioned region? Still dont know :-)
google translate work like a charm so writing in danish is ok. Should have done this, my iPad keeps changing the words back in Danish :-/
Thanks

Thanks for the info Henrik !
May/June? No way... that`s just so far away :dead: :))
There was some sun this week and I didn't resist the urge for a ride. So I took Matilda (yepp, the name of my SV) and swirled around the countryside up until Alro and back.
I was basically just a big lump of ice when I got back but it was big fun and worth it. :thumbsup:

Where and when do the MC rallies start? :D

Cudos for taking her out so early.
As mentioned, the season officially starts march 1st, but often we have to wait until early april due to snow and salt on the roads. Temperatures tend to stay above 10 degrees celcius late in april.
I'm usually somewhat creative with my parking, and haven't had any problems yet.
The police generally don't bitch that much about bikers. 95% of them don't give a damn if you're exhaust is a bit too loud, but as Henrik says, if you ride like an idiot, you're sure to piss them off. Being polite goes a long long way with danish law-enforcement. I've talked my way out of things you wouldn't believe with a humble and friendly attitude. Just don't get caught by their radars ;-).
Like a few others from the forum, I'm from Aarhus as well. I'd be happy to show you some of the better routes in the area, once my bike gets out of hibernation.
Remember that unlike most other countries, danish authorities LOVE spreading salt all over the roads, and it can cause some pretty bad rust on your bike. I'd recommend washing it after each ride untill they stop, which should be when temperatures stay above 0 at night.

Wake up.
Sunshine.
Get on bike.
Ride 2 Aarhus.
Come back via Hov and a lot of small villages.
Have a beer.

Well both the salt and the fact that my insurance doesn´t cover before 1 March keeps me from riding.

One of the commonly used meeting points in Aarhus is the Shell gasstation on Silkeborgvej by the old Ceres brewery.
I live between Aarhus and Horsens. Skanderborg. Send me a pm, or start a thread when you want to ride.

I found out it`s a really nice ride up to Silkeborg via Ry. Nice eye candy.
Blz, thanks mate :thumbsup:
I am of hungarian descent but were born in another country (does not make sense? we`ll get it sort it out at a beer :) )
I lived about 80 km from this : www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCgft55KLJg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCgft55KLJg#ws)
In 2010 I went for a ride there with my old bike and got the first snow fall of the year. Big fun!

Hey!
I don`t want to open a new topic since I have this one for my problem.
Does anyone have a dynamometric wrench for tightening the rear axle nuts? I need to tighten my chain and want to do it the right way.
Someone within 70km of Horsens maybe? :D
