Father of two, kayaker, motorcyclist, adventure rider, electric car driver, self-proclaimed nerd and a IBD warrior.

My new passion is sea kayaking,
I feel an enormous sense of freedom and mastery in beautiful nature.
I usually use a Seabird Expediton HV, my first kayak which works well but is not as playful as other kayaks.
I am a member of Grimstad Padleklubb and have taken the "Grunnkurs våttkort hav" (certification from the Norwegian Paddle Association)

When I´m out on the motorcycle I use my old but good BWM X-Challenge.

I love this bike, it does everything I want from tarmac to gravel to bad dirtroads.

It have Hyperpro suspension front with Mazocchi Shiver inserts, HyperPro suspension rear and Hotrod Welding luggage rack, X-Tank 9,5 liters extra fueltank, fotpeg lowers and protectionparts. Rayz Seat, Garmin Xumo XT navigation, LED low beam, Xenon highbeam, LED spot light + + +

My latest for fun trip was a week on TET Denmark and parts of TET Sweden. https://transeurotrail.org/

I used to document my trips with a  Sony a6000 with a Zeiss ALC-SH127 16-70 objectiv. It's defect and these days I use my iPhone 15 Pro.

My new "take with my on my trips" device is a Lenovo Thinkpad with 32GB RAM, 512GB system disc and 2TB second internal SSD disk.

The thing I love most is the BMW XC repair manual, saved as a iso file and is running as a virtual DVD ROM.

We have  a Athom Homey Pro smarthub to control our home.

It controls the hotwater heating based on price for power. it's also controlling both el. car chargers and heating in house.

It also act as an house alarm and turn on/off power to TV, chargers for iPads in nights ++

Did I told you I'm a nerd?

I have IBD (inflamatory Bowel Disease) / Ulcerative Colitis, had it since 1998.

It's a chronic disease, my immun system attacks my body.
The worst parts besides pain, urgency and fatigue is that I never know where or when i got a flare.
