Honda Grom Roadtrip
“Is that a challenge? Don’t question my stupidity.”
Roughly 2485 km and 35 hours one way!
If I were to start riding south from Norway I could actually end up as far south as Rome, Italy!
Norway - South to North
My bike of choice is the Honda MSX 125! (“Grom” in the U.S.”) which I bought in 2021.
Being one of the smallest street legal 125cc’s out there, surely it would be the perfect motorcycle for such a long trip…right?
Ok, so here is the answer to the question I get asked a lot (quite understandably):
I’d like to show everyone that you can tour on just about anything. This is a very small bike with next to no luggage options - and it doesn’t have to be expensive!
The trip is meant to inspire those that haven’t yet gone on the tour they’ve wanted to, but found excuses like “my bike isn’t suited for touring” and the likes them.
“Why would you go on this trip?”
Sponsors:
Without them I would have been in a lot more trouble. Thank you!

I’ve always documented my journeys and this time is no different!
There are many moving parts in this project and even though I like to keep things a bit spontaneous, a project like this deserves a bit of planning.
