The Swedes are observant and give you space, so that was nice. The Norwegians seem to be mostly confused by motorcycles - I did a bit of filtering (you call it lane-splitting), which scared a few drivers, so I stopped. Overall, I think most of continental europe is better at looking out for motorcyclists than British drivers - which is a fabulous start! Hey Dave,

I did a cross-country trip in the US a few years ago, but across *Europe* would be incredible. Very much looking forward to your updates and images. How are Europeans drivers with motorcyclists? Do they share the road, are they mindful of us motorcycle riders, etc.? In the US it's a really mixed bag -- depends on the area. -Dave Woah! Awesome!

It's all a far cry from when we used to flick elastic bands at each other in the Fast Car/Classics Monthly offices. All the best. May many shits and giggles be with you. Dude.
