Thank you for being candid with us. I hope your channel keeps growing and the happiness level keeps rising. When you roll on that throttle and start laughing and having a blast it is very heartwarming, and makes me llaugh and feel a little of that joy with ya, so thank you. Those mirrors you put on are nice. In the video it looks like there is almost no vibration.

Thomas you are not alone I’ve battled depression for 30 years I’ve learned a lot of what helps to overcome it. You are moving in the right direction getting out and enjoying the outdoors riding bikes and making content, I moved from Massachusetts to California as a means to help myself. The winters in Massachusetts are probably almost as severe as Norway And long winters compound my depression, I do believe in geological cures! But it takes more than that having the right people in your life makes a huge difference and having a mission that gives your life a meaningful purpose is important. I pray Gods supernatural help into your life

We all go through this... and people do seem to think content creators have an idillic life... we don't we just share the good bits.

It's better to ride a slow bike quick

At 5:20 your handlebars look off alignment. I just bought a 2024 and I have the same problem. Take it to the dealership to have the triple clamps re- inline. Be happy! Motorcycle is also my space!

It's very refreshing to watch how real you are, nothing fake. Life is not easy, and it is fun to see how this "outlet" has really fired you up and given you a counter-balance to the junk that gets thrown at you. Bravo!!

Making content is therapy for you in my view. It’s where your mind wants to be perhaps. It’s natural for us humans to seek out things that make us feel good. Regardless of your struggles, your content is awesome, you’re a natural in front of the camera. Just continue to be yourself, that’s what your subscribers want, it’s really what keeps us coming back. 👊🏼

like the honesty here mate, i think a lot of us are struggling in silence these days , its a strange time to be alive , keep plugging away we are in this together even if its just on a chat section on a video

Thank you, Thomas, for another great video. It takes a lot of courage to open up to strangers on the internet. However, those of us who have subscribed to your channel and watch each of your videos are not strangers, we are your friends. You are a special person which was evident from the very first video you posted. We fellow motorcyclists can certainly identify with the joy that riding a motorcycle brings you. It has been my passion for 55 years and still brings me unlimited joy every time I ride. I only wish we could get together here in Arizona and do some riding together. Please keep the videos coming. Your friend, Mark

kudos brother, authenticity demands courage and courage is the greatest attribute of all. By sharing your struggle you help others know they're not alone in struggling. That's an empowing gift. Respect. and thanks for the vids

You and me both brother,one day at a time,don’t you have a snowmobile? Helps get threw the winter

Good Work Thomas. I don’t use my motorcycle for its intended purpose either. Stay safe out there, and keep us updated.

Very enjoyable watch. Can see a bit of myself in you so knew wasn't all fun and games. Keep up the videos as they make me smile. Regards from Ireland

Great video and topic to bring up! Biking definitely puts you in a place that puts your mind at easy; just you and the bike. I wish you the best!

Hey man, you are making some really good content! do what you do, don’t change anything

What a nice bike!!

Thank you for the testimony. I see me in your words. It is not easy to know how to live. In one moment we are over the moon, and in the other we can be down. I find amazing how a motorcycle can be our medicine. There are other sources such as a bit of sport to make us feel powerful and relaxed. It also makes us better riders. Cheers from Portugal. Visit Portugal some day.

You have to go offroad on this bike Thomas. Just let me now and we can maybe take a ride on the TET. Best regards from Thomas Rue (SimpleGuyon2wheels)

Keep the content coming. I think we all see in ourselves some of what you shared.

Hey Thomas, thanks for the video. I would recommend that you add an ultra lightweight camping chair to your camping outfit; adds a touch of civilization when you're out in the middle of nowhere.

Life is hard, you spend your entire life figuring it out and then you die. Our modern life is complicated, I struggle with the same things and sometimes riding my bike even makes it worse. Because I feel guilty for not enjoying it more, its hard to be present when u are feeling down or the mood isnt there. I was planning to do a summer trip this year but returned home after one day, not in the right headspace for it.. good luck with your camping.

We're all human and usually things aren't always as good as videos show but I still love your style and enthusiasm. Saw a lot of frustrations during the mirror install video XD I lost my license last year getting a little too ambitious on a 120hp 636 and have been having a really rough year so watching your videos and seeing your enthusiasm helps. Keep it up.

Thomas you hang in there , life’s tough , get on your bike scare yourself a bit , it always works for me✊🏻

Stay happy! It is nice to watch your content. You're a genuine person. And we all know there are always those darker moments. I appreciate that you talk about it. Hi from Sweden.

Yes on the bike i feel so good too. I ride as often i can to clear my head. You are not alone my biker friend :)

We live in a golden age of helpful resources. I am mid way through the Tergar - Joy of Living program. It’s a graduated meditation course. I am finding it hugely beneficial. Hey, what luggage are you planning on getting? I recon the Kriega stuff would work pretty well.

Another great video. You are not alone my friend , any person who is capable of independent thought , is creative and searching for a meaning , will always be riding on the knife edge of sanity in this mad mad world . But it's better than being a sheep and following the flock. Your motorcycle is your release and your passport to happiness . Congratulations. Rural Norway is beatiful and a good place to ride ( killer white vans are everywhere in the world ). We call people who live in rural areas "rednecks" , they have a different view of society and don't want to be part of the mainstream . Haha , rather like motorcyclists . I've worked with a few Norwegians I know what you mean by " polite" dissaproval 😂. I counted one "galore" , or was it "lagore" ? 🤣. You always cheer me up . Ride safe .

The exhaust sounds so good!

❤ I like your style

Thomas.. Thank you.. Thank you for showing life isent perfect. we all have our masks we put on, we all have our demons.. but we all have the ability to make someone smile, and that is where you shine. you are a godsent, you are purehearted, just.. thank you thomas. Thank you.

Right now, I am on my way down south. Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, and back home to Denmark, 30 days of pure fun on the Tenere👍

Where I live in New England the Tenere700 is practically unknown. I have never actually seen one. They are rarely provided to this market for some reason. Yet it seems like every other dude in Australia owns one.

The Tenere is great for offroad. But I hated it for onroad travel. It would be great if my BMW F850GS had the Tenere CP2 engine. Then you'd have the perfect on and offroad midweight bike!

You should see "Twist of the wrist 2" by California Superbike School's Keith Code. Riding 45 years it's the best information I've had so far. Edit: I bought a '23 base model 'Heritage white'. Lovin' it.

Forgot to ask last week you on the gram brother??

The max speed limit where I drive is 100 km so the CP2 in my XSR is perfect for me. But other friends I drive with disagree. They are driving a bike that they are only using a small portion of what there bike is capable of doing. To me it's a waste. To each there own.

I was going to buy a new MT07 but found a Yamaha xsr 700 with 4000 miles on clock cheaper same bike really

The only time I've felt like I could use a bit more power from my CP2 is on big US interstates where everyone is going 90. But to be honest I really hate being on those roads anyways. It isn't even fun and more power wouldn't make it any less shitty. On any normal road the CP2 engine is an absolute goldilocks engine in my opinion. Genuinely perfect.

mirror clips facing different directions. 5:40-8:20. is it normal or am i missing somethin else?

Just got my 600 mile service done this morning. 👍🏼

Hi mate, great video! I have the exact thoughts about CP3, its literally perfect :P

😅 couldn't agree more. I am still under 1K kms with mine and even under 5K rpms, this machine still offers enough! How is the wind buffeting for you on the T7?

If you mainly road ride but occasional off-road Suggest you try Honda Transalp 750 or Suzuki vstrom 800de they have bit more power than the tenere but if you want more off-road then tenere would be my choice.

Rather stupid opinion and needless, more than anything. No point at all.

My Yamaha is 1854cc's and I love it. My KLR 650 checks most of the boxes though!

Good video and agree entirely. Thing is the Tenere has so much more to give. I hated motorway speeds in such high revs. If you can pull away easily in third gear its too low geared. As I mentioned in a previous post. Decat remap de snorkel the air box and change lid add a tooth on front and drop one or two on back. Result is what the bike should have been . It breaths and engine is far more tractable. More power that you don't need but its there if needed and far better economy mpg or mpl but enables a more relaxed ride as cruising about at motorway speeds is all below 5k revs . l love how the wife whom also rides can get on the back and makes no difference to how bike goes. The Tenere is strangled standard its bonkers fun unleashed. The Tenere engine is great standard but best twin ever made was KTM 950 sm hence all the mods to Tenere .

Good thing is that we all have different opinions and there are a lot of motorcycles for everyone. The search for adrenaline decreases when we get older and that's a good thing.

Another enjoyable video. True about people not needing more for the road, just encourages you to lose your license

Thank you, Thomas, for another enjoyable video. For the roads you're riding in Norway, certainly 700cc is plenty of power and the Tenere 700 is light enough that you can do some reasonable off-road riding with it. Here in Arizona, I do very little highway riding but when I do, it's nice to have lots of acceleration from highway speed (70 mph or 115 km/hr) when you want to pass a tractor trailer quickly or when some bonehead is tailgating you. I also agree that nobody needs the power and acceleration of a 1000cc sportbike (most can do 95-100 mph in FIRST gear), but speaking from experience, it sure is fun. If someone has the money and enough will power and common sense not to be stupid on it, who am I to judge (being the owner of a Ducati 996 and GSXR 750 in addition to my Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro ADV bike). Also, the music is great and not too loud that it interferes with your dialog. Looking forward to your next video.

I got the regular T700 last year. Live in Drammen and got it to use on gravel and offroad. Totally agree with respect to hp. If the cp2 isn't sufficient for what this bike is build for you are either a serious pro or you don't know what you are talking about. 75hp on gravel and offroad is MOORE than you need. If you are a speed monster on the autobahn, buy another bike.
