There is one place with BMW and Yamaha, a two hours trip from Oslo, but they didn't list which bikes. They do, however, mention that bigger bikes cost more than $1k and for some models they require a minimum age of 40 years. They might also require a Norwegian license, but I would have to call them to know for sure. If you want to ask me about this later, remind me of McPartner, Lazy Boys and Speed (Sandefjord).

Funny thing, one of them dudes actually killed himself on the bridge scene. He wasn't happy on how close he came to it so he tried it again. Ended up as a bug splatter.

The dude that invented the ski-off the cliff-into wing suit killed himself as well about two weeks ago. One of his skis didn't come off and he went into a dead spin, no time to open the chute.

Dude's name was Shane McConkey

Is it just TOO obvious that none of the late "rocket boys" was Norwegian?  At least IronMan had a crash suit!

Hmmmm...  I think I've "stumbled upon" an answer as to why these lads did what they did...
