Building, biking, Dutchman moving to Norway

[scheffers]

my NL house is sold. in january we will move to sausvatn!!!
not sure if i will manage to finish the bike here in NL, don't feel so much for taking it to Norway... we'll see..

[Erman]

I think you should sell that one. The way it stands now, I doubt they will let it pass road inspection

[scheffers]

I know, if i would take it to Norway it would go in parts, build it up in Norway and take it back to Holland for selling afterwards.. hope to get it done before going to Norway and sell it here in NL.

I'd like to start on a snowscooter custom project in Norway!

It sounds terrific to foreigners, to believe that we can ride snowscooters just because we have snow. Not quite right. Depending on where you live of course, but in general it is quite difficult to ride snowscooters legally. Even for us in the Red Cross, who need to use these on occations, we have trouble to get permissions to train on driving here in "the lowlands".

OK! good point, that was my next question, how is it with permissions etc... I couldn't really find anything on that subject in english on the web.... we will be moving to Sausvatn, Bronnoy..

Sorry, only in Norwegian so you need a Google translation (this use to be an interesting text ):

So, basically, the content of that article is as follows:

All motorized traffic outside habitable areas are regulated by law. The main principles are that recreational use of motorized vehicles are generally prohibited, but may be permitted if certain conditions are met. Any such use requires permission from the property owner, but a property owner cannot alone give you permission to ride your snowmobile on his land - due to the general prohibition.
In Finnmark and Nord-Troms counties, recreational use of motorized vehicles are permitted on tracks and frozen lakes.

The current goverment has currently allowed 100 municipalities to establish tracks and test recreational use of snowmobiles.

You should check with Brønnøysund municipality before you start the build. You may well get permission if you can package it in a nice wrapping

will do that later.

if i can find a nice cheap scooter i will start building, it is Always more about the building than the riding for me anyway!

A lot of people in this region drive snowscooters. The recipe is to load the scooter on a hanger and drive to the sweedish border. There are few restrictions in Sweden. (Next to impossible in Norway)

I ride snowmobiles and love it! I started riding bikes just to have something to do so the summer would'nt feel so long.

Winter is AWESOME!

[scheffers]

SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!

never ridden one myself, ski'd all my life though! :-)å

[DrGreve]

Both Hattfjelldal and Hemnes municipalities have so called fishing tracks for snowmobiles during winter, and from Sausvatn to the Sweden border is aprox 1,5 hours drive.

and from Sausvatn to the Sweden border is aprox 1,5 hours drive.

Yes !

We also have a snowmobile, but I do not get to use it as often as I would like, not so much snow here.
The one we bought was NOK. 10.000,- and is a bit old, but works fine! Lynx GL3900 with a fisty Rotax 600 2 cyl. engine.

(And of course... I do not drive it at all, as that is not allowed here... Might be partly allowed on our own land though)

Once you try it you get hooke'd.
No speedlimits, no cops, no roads to follow, no traffic and best of all no people for miles and miles!
Just pure freedom to do and go where ever you want.
