“ Passion and Curiosity !
JENS LYCK
What’s it all about ?
Did the ”Passion and Curiosity” quote make you stop for a second and wonder what this site is about ?
Motorcyclelife.eu is documenting my motorcycle trips across most of Europe as well as modifications and improvements on my bikes.
It’s my hope that the content on the site will inspire other people to visit new places on their motorcycle – it’s such a great way to travel.
Motorcycles are all about passion, and the urge to travel and explore new places is caused by curiosity – So the quote describes the contents of the site in just two words.
You have now been warned about what is ahead – enjoy the site 🙂

Hepco & Becker crash bar …
Not an easy install because the cooler/radiator and exhaust need to be removed to remove the original bracket for the fog lights.
And before you can get to the radiator, it is necessary to remove a zillion plastic fairing parts.
But the new crash bar is now installed and I’m very happy with the result.
3D printed chain gauge …
Clever tool designed by a fellow NT1100 owner in the UK 👍🏆
Valve adjustment …
One exhaust valve close to minimum spec, so I decided to adjust it a bit looser (5/100 mm thinner shim)

3D printed pannier holders …
Nice 3D printed brackets to stire the NT1100 panniers on the garage wall.
Fixing a most annoying problem with the panniers …
The two retaining straps in each pannier have a bad habit of getting squeezed in between the pannier case and the lid when you close the pannier.
Using a short adjustable rubber band between the straps ensures that they are pulled towards the center of the pannier when it is closed.
And you can still easily get your gear in and out of the pannier.
Problem solved 👍🏁

Back home again …
After 4 long days and 1400 km, we was back home in Denmark.
Lots of beautiful sights and a great experience – and only a bit of rain on the first day 🌍😎🏍️🏍️👍
And I am very much aware that it is a massive privelege to be able to go on a motorcycle trip with my daughter ❤️
Last night in Kalmar …
We walked out to the castle and back to Kalmar’s centre and had dinner st a nice Greek restaurant.
