I’m a fourty-something spanish software developer living in Helsinki. This blog is about one of my biggest passions, motorcycling.
Yeah, I know, the world doesn’t need another blog. But I do. I decided to start this blog when I was seriously thinking of taking a motorcycle trip to Iceland and the Faroe Islands in the summer of 2017. I need to plan that trip carefully and have all the details gathered in one place. Also, being my first long motorcycle trip, and since I have never been in those countries, I want to expose the details hoping to get some feedback and advice for the preparations.
I also thought it could be interesting to share the adventure from the early preparations to the return home, and maybe others in the future will find in useful.
Besides that, I want to write about my motorbike, my gear, and my short weekend trips.
Cilvrni Gorvm means metal workers in latin, and it’s how the Romans referred to the celtic tribe that lived in my hometown, after their craftmanship. It is the oldest known reference of inhabitants of the area of Gijon.
I hope you join and enjoy this journey I just started.
