Why the vikings left there home?

Life in Scandinavia was hard; living there meant dealing with a harsh climate, rapid population growth, disputes over land, political turmoil and religious conflict with neighbouring saxons. Venturing out into other lands it meant that they could gain political asylum, economic benefits, trading opportunities, fame in battle and an escape from antagonism. The vikings were very skillful when it came to sailing and were very knowledgeable about the lands surrounding Scandinavia, and it was very easy for them to invade by sea. From voyages of trade, exploration and invasion, vikings discovered fertile lands that they later would settle. Farming and cultivation conditions in Scandinavia were very poor, so by moving they began to create an easier lifestyle. They needed large portions of land for their crops and livestock and leaving also meant that they would escape the conflict over resources. The vikings occupied many christian lands as retribution for previous conflict and also because they had converted and were starting to adopt to new customs. Many vikings lived good wealthy lives in Scandinavia with numerous possessions, but they wanted more room for their possessions and comfortable living. In order to do so many left Scandinavia and conquered or settled other lands. Many also left to trade in Europe; which at the time did not have much competition.

Why did the vikings leave their homelands?

The Vikings left their homeland because there wasn't much open land left in Scandinavia. There was richer soil in Iceland and in Greenland and at the time the climate was much warmer so it was perfect for farming. The Vikings also left their homelands to terrorize and plunder mainly all of Europe.

Can be either. In Scandinavia and Central Europe, right/rear is the normal set-up, but most shops can provide left/rear AKA Moto-style brakes if you ask for it.
