What's better than a tshansen video? Another tshansen movie! Can't wait for next episode. Cheers!
Hahaha, thank you Vitor, really appreciate that 😂🤩 More to come 🎥
Hallo thomas thanks for amazing videos !!!!! Have i nice trip!!!👋👋👋👋👋👍👍👍👍
Glad you like them! Cheers 🍻
@@tshansen 👍🍻🍻🍻🍻
That subtle change in cup colour to match the new bike 👌🏼
🤣 it is all in the details my friend 😇 you have a sharp eye 👏🏻
Thomas - seriously - what a wonderful bit of videography! Yes, you are working with staggeringly beautiful scenery but your videos capture it and your riding as though we are with you! Top, top video sir. Ride safe. Simon.
Awesome! Thank you so much Simon... really appreciate the nice comment 👏🏻 Stay safe, and more to come 🎥
Norway is exceptionally beautiful and you capture it so well. I continue to be impressed by the amount of time you spend on filming the different views. Great work! 🙌😀
Haha, thank you Kalle... well, you get a certain work rutine on it all, and I find it much more enjoyable to watch afterwords when you add to the views and extra production. I don't think it would be nearly as interesting to watch if I just had a helmet cam 🎥 but that is just my opinion. Appreciate the nice comments and support. Cheers
Your story beautifully told, Thomas....well done! And thank you!
Thank you Allen… glad you liked it. Appreciate it. Cheers
watching this reminds me of why I am going back to Norway this summer.
That is really great to hear. Nothing makes me more happy to hear. Cheers 👏🏻
WOWZA!
Thomas, what a great video! So many great shots throughout. Absolutely brilliant man!
Well done Sir! Well done!
Woho….. 🤩 So glad you enjoyed this as well. It was such a great experience to make this. And hope people have a better understanding how great it is to be out on adventures 👏🏻 Cheers
Can't wait to ride through your magnificent country this summer..!!!
I understand you so well Gert... I just hope you get lucky with the weather 🤩
@@tshansen me too!!!
What a fantastic video again. Thomas, the roads you ride and the views are beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 👌
Glad you enjoyed it Peter... love bringing you all with me on my adventures like this. Absolutely love it, more to come 🎥
Seeing your video's, I can't wait to come to your domain this year's vacation. 🏍
What a pleasure to my eyes‼️ I loved the drone footage‼️👍👍👍🔥🔥
Glad you enjoyed it Diego 🤩 Really appreciate it mate 👏🏻
hi thomas, your videos are some of the best travel videos i know. thanks for that 👍👍👍
Wow, thanks Volker, I really appreciate the nice comment 👏🏻 Thank you 🎥
I really like the loft addition👍🏻on the your tent (at 0.14) 😜. Great music choice, really goes well with what we are seeing, simply beautiful, Norway is a ADV riders dream.
Thank you my friend 🤩 Really glad you liked it. Struggled some to get this episode right, but it looks like it was quite a success 🍻 Cheers
Thanks Thomas loved the episode and brings back many memories of being there
Thank you Ian 🤩👏🏻
I really loved this vid! The shots of you riding on the roads beside the mountains are so exciting! Thanks for this!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for taking the time to comment on it. Really appreciate that 👏🏻
Wonderful video Tjommi! Dalsnibba is worth the extra time and Geiranger is beautiful. Last time i was there i took my inflatable kajak (packed in thevan) and paddled around the curve in Geirangerfjorden all the way to the waterfall Syv Søstre. A 3 hour paddle and nice drone shots as well. Oh Jordgubbar/strawberrys is always worth a stop. Could imagine they charged some for them 😅. First and second time i was at Trollstigen the old timber house was still the mainbuilding at the top. The served yummy rømmegröt 😁👍Keep it up Tjommi 🙌
Thank you so much Tjommi 🤩🎥 Glad to hear you enjoy them as well. Yeah, it is worth spending an extra day here if the weather is nice. A couple of really nice hikes as well. I have never been out to the 7 sisters with a kayak before, but I have been out there with a boat. Haha, the strawberries are a little bit expensive, but worth every penny, and I find great pleasure in supporting the locals in this way. I think Valldal berries are probably the best ones you get in Norway. It is just something with the ground here. Much more to come 🤣🎥 Skål
Perfect video, love the drone shots! So beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Looking forward to more.
Glad you enjoyed it! much more to come Elwood 👏🏻
Hello Thomas. Thank you once again for a beautiful video - love the purr of the T7. Be well. Cheers
Hello Bob, and so glad to hear you enjoyed this video 🤩 I absolutely love the sound of the T7 my self. Really good sounding engine. Cheers, take care. 👏🏻
Motovlogging on another level - just watch & learn. Superb footage, editing and storytelling. Really impresssive
Legend! Thank you so much for the nice comment, it is highly appreciated 👏🏻
So nice. THX for this great Video and the perfect cut.
You're very welcome and glad you liked it 🤩🎥
Super film 🎥 Thomas!, what a stunning place. Beautifully filmed too. All of the footage was great, but there was a moment when you were blasting down the mountain pass that I just ached to be there!!. Great stuff my friend 👏 Cheers, Steve
Glad you enjoyed it Stephen 🤩 Haha, yeah, going down the serpentines from the top of Trollstigen is just something else. I think I rode the whole thing two times just for my own enjoyment that night. So nice weather and little traffic. Loved it 🔥
Hello Thomas. Another great video with very good drone shots. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next video. Have a nice weekend, greetings from Frank.
Thanks 👍 More to come soon 🎥
Thanks for a really god riding and a beutiful movie . You really get some beutifull clip on this ride .I have been driving this road with my homecar but after this i get really inspired to take my bike and do the trip. 😊👍
Thanks a lot Mats. This roads are so much more enjoyable on a motorcycle compared to car. Will highly recommend you to do the trip on a bike as well. Cheers
Thanks for the breathtaking views👍
You are welcome! Glad you liked it 👏🏻🔥
It's nice to relax and just enjoy your fantastic videos, dream and prepare for the new motorcycle season. Really looking forward to take my bike out of the garage and enjoy many ours on Norwegian mountain roads and find nice tent or hammock camp sites. Thanks for sharing your moments .
Thank you very much Anders. Really appreciate the nice feedback, and truly motivational to hear my videos makes people dream of a new season and go out on their own adventures. Thank you for this. Cheers 🍻
Another fantastic video of in my opinion, the most beautiful Country in the world. I managed a solo tour of Norway, Finland and Sweden in June 2022 after 2 years of planning, and I'm heading back in June this year with a couple of friends, only as far North as Storjord then into Sweden before heading back to the UK.
keep the videos coming, they are amazing!
Thank you so much David, really appreciate the nice comment. Sounds like you are gonna take your friends on quite an adventure 👏🏻 More to come really soon, new episode ready in a couple of days. Cheers ☕️
Amazing - what a ride!
Thank you, it was quite a day on two wheels. 🤩🎥
Epic Thomas, just Epic. 🤛😎🤜
Thank you so much mate. Really glad you liked it 👏🏻🤩
Amazing job like always Thomas, love the feeling of your videos. 🙂
Thank you very much Mike. I know you understand how much work is put into them 👏🏻 Hope to see you on the bike again soon. Cheers
@tshansen yes I do my friend, and that's why I appreciate your videos even more. Honestly, you with you work deserves hundreds of thousands subs already. I'm realising new video tomorrow. Would love to hear your opinion aswell. Thank you 😊
Ad we say in Danmark, Norway is the home for the Trolls. ❤
Indeed it is! It is not difficoult to understand where all the tales and stories originate when you read some of the fairytales from our culture
A very well-deserved Jack & Coke after that stunning ride during the day. Norway is so beautiful, your videos, drone footage as well, is incredible how much work and passion you put into...thank you so much for doing this for us Thomas!!!
I really enjoy a good whisky or a jack at the end of days like this. Just set the mood and wraps everything up in such a great package. Really appreciate the nice comment about my work. It is quite humbling to receive so much praise and appreciation. Thank you ☺️
@@tshansen When I come over I'll bring what I can from home. We make a lot in Kentucky USA. Some of it has a label. Haha
Very good….production getting better with each video. Well done 👏👏👏
Thank you very much Hein, really glad to hear that. I try to learn from earlier videos and make each video a little bit bette than the last. Cheers
Another great video mate. I love this series
Thank you Curno 🤩 Appreciate it 🍻
oh just beautiful,
you show the places that I want to see in real.
hope it works in the next time.
really nice video 🤩
Thank you 🤗 Glad you enjoyed it. It is something special to visit these places for the first time. Cheers
Thank you ! high quality ;-)
Glad you like it Skyrider… appreciate it 🤩
Awesome - love your videos 😎😎🤘🤘👍👍 thanks so much for sharing 🙏🙏🍀🍀
Thank you so much Matthias 👏🏻 Thank you for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it 🔥
Min norsk er veldig grunnleggende, men jeg kan si at videoene dine er fantastiske. Tusen takk!
Hehe, Tuen Takk for det 👏🏻
You are a really good ambassador of Norway👌
Thank you Ralf, appreciate that 👏🏻
thanks Thomas✌
You are welcome mate 👏🏻
At 10:29, upper right corner of the camping site, red car, blue tent, that was me and my wife, cool coincidence 🙂
Thank you for sharing.
No way! Haha, that is so cool, if I’m not mistaking, your wife had some trouble with here foot? Or had a support on the leg? Glad you enjoyed it mate. Cheers
@@tshansen Wow, you remember us then. Yes, actually she is left side paralyzed after a stroke some 30 years ago. What an awesome trip we had, though.
Cheers mate
@@ekhaat yeah, i do think i have photographic memory when it comes to certain things. And I always try to remember and be aware of my surroundings. Sorry to hear about the stroke, but so admirable to see you out camping and enjoying life this way.
You have perfectly staged the beautiful landscape again, Thomas. Thank you very much, I'm already looking forward to the next episode.
Thank you Claudius, really appreciate the support, and glad you liked this episode as well. I need to work some more on my story telling skills, but practise makes perfect. Cheers
I just discovered your channel, what an outstanding journey you are on, or were on, hopefully I will continue to see new postings from your channel, thanks for the videos Robert from the U.S.
Thank you so much Robert, really glad to hear you enjoy this trip. Much more is coming from me in the upcoming years. (I just started) But I’m not sure when i will manage to get out on a long trip like this again. Hopefully in August/September this year as well. Cheers
Many many switchbacks 👍
Indeed, and so great to ride 🤩👏🏻
Vakkert, fint håndarbeid i etterkant! 👍😊
Takk Geir, glad du likte den. Var en fantastisk dag på alle måter dette. 🎥
Norway has really epic landscapes, and with your drone footage, followed by epic music then it´s even better. Thank you Thomas.
Wow, thank you Rene, that is quite a nice comment. Appreciate it. 👏🏻
Ones again another great episode, keep up with the good work :)
Thank you Draxzer 🤩 will do my best, and have much more to come in the upcoming weeks. 🎥
Awesome work, Hansen, riktigt bra videojobb!
Takk Takk Roy, hyggelig å høre at du likte filmen 🤩
Another great video !
Thanks for creating amazing content.
Glad you enjoy it!, really appreciate the nice comment. Cheers
Beautiful captured!
Thank you very much Chris, glad you enjoyed it 👏🏻
Greetings from Oregon brother that drone shows the freaking most awesome winding climbing roads i want to ride! thanks ride safe
Thank you David. Those roads are insane fund to ride on a bike. Just so damn epic. Highly recommended 🤩
Thank you David. Those roads are insane fund to ride on a bike. Just so damn epic. Highly recommended 🤩
Love the jack and coke end to the day. Thanks for the video, makes me happy to think about motocamping on my T7!!
Yeah.... I'm not a big drinker, but I love to sit down an celebrate a great day with a drink or two (mostly whisky) but I have been really into jack and coke this year. Love that mix. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers 🥃
Oh that little gravel road on the right side at 6:18 it got all of my curiosity.
Beautiful scenery and videography, great job at capturing it and awsome choice of material it really brings you the feeling of being there yourself! Can't wait to visit Sweden and Norway as soon as I have time.. I've planned this offroad motorcycle camping trip for August 2021 with my 2009 BMW F800GS but due to Covid and other things I had to cancel it in the last moment...
Haha, it got my attention as well, but it was just a short little road with nothing special to be honest. So I had to turn back after a coulpe of meters. Yeah covid hit all of us pretty hard, hope you can plan for a new trip this year 👏🏻 Really glad to hear you liked this episode. Cheers ☕️
wow
You liked it? 🔥👏🏻 cheers
Hello 🙋🏻♂️ nice as always. That shoot from 3:12 💪😁
Thank you mate, really glad to hear you enjoyed this 👏🏻🔥
Well Mr Hansen you are starting to make your mark. Are you shooting for an Academy Award? If you are then you surely should be walking the Red Carpet soon! This session was just outstanding. We, the audience are extremely lucky to be able to take 11:04 out of our lives to be so entertained by what you have spent endless hours (6 Months) to create. Nothing more needs to be said other than your subscriber rate should be in the millions. Chapeau my friend! Please keep up your incredible creative flow. PS The Norwegian tourism bureau owes you big time!
Wow, Thank you so much for this comment James, it is hard to describe for me how much it means 👏🏻🤩 i’m just enjoying the whole process of creating and making great videos! I left this footage for a couple of months, before i started editing it! Needed to take care of other projects before i could sink in to this story and Get the right flow 👏🏻
Well, i’m happy with the followers i got! A engaging community that gives me a lot of Feedback and help me to become better 🎥👌🏻 that is the most important! I have no plans on stopping anytime soon! I will continue to make even more videos in the future! The best thing people can do is to watch my content! Comment if they like it or want me to do something different and if it is good enough! People will share it 👏🏻🔥 that is a incredible achievment
Such beautiful cinematography! Really excellent work!
Glad you think so, makes me happy to hear Tim. Cheers 👏🏻🎥
Dear Thomas, continue to inspire us! What a great trip, what an amazing video! I miss my motorcycle so much, but hope to get one back soon. Videos on your equipment, loading of the bike, planning of your trips, capturing and editing advice would be very welcome. Best regards from Canada.
Thank you so much sir, really appreciate the nice comment, and so glad to hear you enjoyed them. I'm taking notes and will make sure to cover some if not all in future videos. Stay safe. Cheers
Outstanding cinematography, love Norway, Geiranger is stunning, we stayed at the Hotel Union there in June, but will camp at the site there next time 👌🏼
Thank you Simon, and yes… Geiranger is quite amazing, and hotel union is a really nice hotel i can highly recommend. If you enjoy camping, this is a great campsite. Cheers
Fantastiske scener
Nok en gang, stor takk for hyggelig tilbakemelding. Veldig kjekt å høre at du liker innholdet jeg lager. Vestlandet byr på masse perler. Fantastiske steder ligger som perler på en snor.
WOW..that is some spectacular views. Another inspirational video. Keep them coming please 🙂
It is easy to be the camera man when you have scenery like this. Glad you enjoyed it Johan... more to come, much more 🤩
Fantastic video. I have been to all these places still I enjoyed your video.
Thank you mate 🤩👏🏻 it is quite something! Norway has some really Nice scenic places! Did you have the same luck with the weather?
@@tshansen Norway is absolutely amazing, I love riding my motorcycle (T7) there. I was there for 3 weeks and had 4, 5 rainy days which is lucky.
Excellent vid and drone footage. Lot of work getting those action shots. Back and forth, do it again. Good editing. Lot of action and not much talk. Much appreciated. My bud Jarl (Norwegian Xplorer) did a driving vid of the same road a while back. He's also hiked and camped most of the high points in Norway and Sweden. I like it best from a bike. It's a must for me when I come over soon. Thank you.
Much appreciated Sam... Really glad to hear you enjoyed it. It takes some time and effort, but the result becomes so much better when you add to it in this way (imo) I tried to hike and bike, but that was really hard. everytime I hiked I wanted to ride, and every time I ride I wanted to hike. And getting with me all the equipment was a pain, because you need extra shoes, backpack etc. So now I split it so I can do one thing at the time. But I do understand that is not so easy when you not living here. I understand that most people that are into adventure riding are also huge fan of hiking, fishing, camping and just the adventure life. Cheers
Excellent,
Many many thanks 👏🏻
Just having my morning coffee watching this episode- we missed each other by a few days as my brother and I were in Norway between August 20-28 last year. Thank you for sharing this beautiful scenery with us. Good mix of camera angles and drone shots. 🤙
Haha, it would have been so damn epic to meet you in a campsite or on the road. Wonder how long it would have taken me to recognise you. Glad you liked this episode mate, thank you for the nice comment. Cheers
Breathtaking video. Thank you for sharing. Went to Nordkapp in june 2022 thanks to all your great videos. Was enjoying each and every minute of the trip. What an amazing country.
Great to hear! I really wanted to go up there last year as well, but did not have the time. One day I get up there again, there is just something incredible with the Lofoten and Senja island. Cheers
Exceptional landscape and filmmaking, Thomas. Thank your for a wonderful Saturady morning. Norway would be a good country for my venerable Transalp. But first ACT/TET Romania this summer. Günter/Nürnberg
Many thanks Günter… Really glad to hear you enjoyed this episode. I have looked really hard on the ACT myself the last couple of weeks. Would love to do Greece this year. Cheers
@@tshansen Greece is a long way. But the North should be a dream ride, a Greek friend told me and urged me to ride it. It's a long way down there, Thomas. You could pass via Nürnberg and stay. Cheers, Günter
@@enduromotorradtouren Yeah, it has to be a long vacation! But some trips you just need to take the time! Appreciate that my friend, and will hold you up on that offer when the times come 👏🏻🔥 really appreciate the offer
@@tshansen We find a date when both of you are here, Thomas. And me, too. I have a lot of tours this season. Just sitting over Basecamp with Romania, two weeks, lots to see off the tracks. Quite an interesting country, that's an eye-opener. Cheers, Günter
Recept för en bra dag…..koka kaffe, på med tofflorna, placera sig skönt i soffa, starta datorn och sätt på en av Thomas filmer på storbilds-tv. Det blir inte mycket bättre än så här. Förtrollande bra filmat som vanligt! Snyggt jobbat!
Haha, det er oppskriften på en veldig bra dag hører jeg 🤣👏🏻 Kjektå høre at du likte filmen. Mer kommer, mye mer 😇🎥
Awesome mini-doc capture, story and edit! The quality of your vids is first class! Wonderful to see and enjoy your passion, the effort you put in on the road and behind the computer is without peer! Thank you once again for creating and sharing such beautiful work.
I too am a ‘Croc’ fan for 15 yrs now 🤣
Thank you so much for the nice comment and ongoing support. It is quite humbling to sit here and get so many nice comments about my work, and see how many that enjoyed watching it. So again, thank you so much. Really do appreciate it. Crocs is the only way brother 😆
This is only the 2nd episode and It's already hard to find the right compliments for your work Thomas and how much you inspire everyone to go out there!! I hope this is the year that Norway's Tourism Board finds your work and contacts you, as I'm yet to find someone that promotes so much their home Country, for free, and in such a magnificent way!! Thanks Thomas!! 👍👍
It is really hard for me to describe how much your comments mean to me, you have a way with compliments that really hit’s and i really appreciate it. Thank you my friend 👏🏻 Really glad you enjoyed this episode as well mate. Cheers
@@tshansen They're easy for me to say Thomas because they're honest and true. Your editing skills and visual judgment are immense and even though you're daily job is very important, and you can even save lives, you should also invest in this passion you have of cinematography.
1 Day we will meet in Norway and we will have a beer together, promise!
@@BlackThor15 i’m investing a lot in this business and have great pleasure in it 👏🏻🔥 i make sure to have a bottle of proper viking champagne ready for us 🔥🔥
@@tshansen Yessss!! 🙌👍
Hey Thomas Another fantastic video , you put so much effort it your filming 👍
Must be a complete PIA to keep stopping and setting up camera etc
There are professional companies vids that aren’t as well put together as yours 👌
Your pride and effort really shine through , take care and ride safe mate 👍
Haha, thank you mate... well, I dont see it as PIA to do it, I find it quite rewarding and all part of the fun. You create so much better videos this way (in my opinion) Really appreciate the nice comments, much more to come soon 🤩🎥 Stay safe mate
Please add some behind the scenes footage of capturing this 🙌
I will try to make a little series of videos how I go about making my videos, how I set up my camera, what I choose to shoot and how I edit it all together. With practical examples. If that is something you are thinking about?
Awesome Thomas....just awesome!!! At times, I see similarities between Norway and the Rocky Mountains of Alberta and BC! Thanks for sharing your time, efforts and countryside with us! All the best from CANADA!
Glad you enjoyed it mate, i see what you mean about similarity, same with New Zealand as well. Quite similar to norway. Cheers, appreciate it
Glad you enjoyed it mate, i see what you mean about similarity, same with New Zealand as well. Quite similar to norway. Cheers, appreciate it
Yet another great video Thomas. Well done. It makes you want to get on your bike and ride to Norway. Love it!
Hello Wiel, and thank you for the nice comment. Hope you are doing great. Cheers
Fantastic footage, masterclass editing and storytelling. It is such a joy to watch these videos! Keep it up! 👍🏻
Thank you Bernt… really glad to hear you enjoyed this and my other videos. Thank you. Cheers
Amazing, simply amazing. What a country and nature. Love your stories mate ❤
Glad you like them Berrie, really appreciate the feedback and that you enjoy watching my videos. Cheers 🍻
This is just episode two and I'm gonna run out of superlatives. Awesome filming! Whilst compared to almost any other motorcycle vlogger I've watched, and those aren't few, you certainly take it to the next level. Both with rgds to audio, video/quality, frame selections, and editing on the whole. I fully appreciate the time it takes to produce what's nothing short of a documentary. Thoroughly enjoyable. And, since being one of those who've ridding along the same roads, can't really say it's good medicine vs the PMS level (LOL). Cheers mate :)
Wow… thank you so much Knut… that is quite a compliment and to be honest, quite humbling to read. So impressive that so many enjoy my travels and content. I’m trying to become better and learn new stuff all the time, so making all this is really rewarding and gives me great challenges. Haha, well… i can tell you one thing. Editing this, and looking trough all the footage is not good for the PMS either.. Damn i want nice weather and new Adventures soon 😂 Cheers mate, enjoy your weekend.
Perfect trip and video. Beautiful landscape, super 👍
Many thanks mate... appreciate you taking the time and watch it. Cheers
Amazing video again Thomas. @3:21.....the drone footage is just fantastic!! I really can't wait to go to Norway again.
Thank you Luc 🤩 Really glad to hear you enjoy the drone footage. It brings a little bit extra to the whole production, I have to admit that 🎥
you really live in a beautiful country. I once attempted to visit Geiranger but I couldn't make it there, perhaps I should try again!
Thank you mate, Norway is indeed beautiful with a lot of great roads. You should put it on your bucket list again. It is something else, and from what I have heard, there may be a new NewCastle ferry in the next coulpe of years to bergen
@@tshansen definitely in my bucket list and I am happy to hear that finally there'll be a ferry from Newcastle to Bergen. I've always wondered why there's no ferry or flights to either Newcastle or even the Shetland Isles. So great news!
Im coming over to Norway with my world raid in June with 2 other bikers, after watching your videos i cant wait to experience it first hand, it looks stunning
Absolutely love that bike, and i really hope you are lucky with the weather and will enjoy the scenic places as much as i do. Cheers
I understand that Norways history is much older than the US. The roads through the mountains in Norway can be very very old or build by armies of the past. The US doesn’t have a lot of roads like those there. The US is so big we just built roads to move people quickly from point A to B. But it’s really beautiful here.
The history here goes way back, and it is really fascinating how we had to learn to make tunnels and crazy mountain roads to get from one side to the other. We see so many pictures and videos from your part of the world, and we know it is beautiful... I just need to get over there and see it with my own eyes. So much of the US I want to experience. Cheers
@@tshansen I would love to see you make it over here. But I also know you have obligations, family and work. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
Great video, fantastic cinematography too.
The World Raid still living up to your expectations?
Two filling caps! Annoying? 😜
Thank you so much mate... appreciate it. It lives up and exceed my expectations... I just really love this bike for my use. The two filling caps are not an issue at all... first time was a little bit fiddly, but you get the hang of operating it with one hand, so it is second nature now. 👏🏻
Stunning views! Norway is such a beatiful country❣️ I have been on a number of roadtrips to the most northern parts, but you have just inspired me for my next visit👏🏼🏍💨💨. Not much traffic👍🤔
That is really nice to hear Lars. Some parts of norway is not that crowded when you visit outside season. In the middle of summer it can be a lot of traffic here. Cheers
@@tshansen thanks for your comment👍 Last year I did 6000km way up to Kirkenes/Oscar II Chapel/ Vardö/ Hamningveg/.. Simply loved it❣️🏍️💨💨 Looking forward to your next episode!
Nice of you to visit my fjord and take my ferry,,,, just kidding. I have family outside Molde, in Kleive. I drove these same roads and ferry but by car. I hope to motorcycle pa Norge within a couple of years. I was born in Namsos and live in western Canada now. My bike videos are not as good as yours but I am trying. Takk for the tips and trips!
Hahaha.... I have some family in Molde my self, but I don't have any contact with them anymore, it is far out on my mother side. Norway is great in a car as well, but it is just something special about riding around on the bike. You get to see and smell so much more of the environments. Aaaah... you was born in rock city. Nice, how is Canada doing in these times. Stay safe Geir. Cheers ☕️
@@tshansen we are still in winter where I am and it will be mid April before bike season starts. I live in Golden, British Columbia. It is very mountainous here and there are miles and miles of forestry roads to adventure on. I bought a Suz DR650 2 years ago and have put 5,000 kms on it just biking the local roads. I have a UA-cam channel called Goldegeir if you want to see some of the area I drive in. I have 2 road bikes for asphalt, 1978 Yamaha 650 Special and a 2002 Kaw Vulcan Nomad 1500. The scenery is spectacular and I recommend that if you are a biker, you must do western Canada at least one in your life. Lookup Icefields Parkway as an example. It is just down the road from me. Every view is a picture postcard, just like Norway. Safe travels!
Ah! Those twisties ✊🏻😬👊🏻
Perfect combination on a great adventure bike. Glad you enjoyed it mate. Cheers
@@tshansen Gotta say, the bike is sounding awesome 👌🏻
@@CampbellZeroOne I have to agree… i absolute love the sound of this bike… it is so damn good, and when I’m going downhill and let go of the throttle… braap papapapa
@@tshansen 😂😂😂 It's addictive, I know!
@@CampbellZeroOne Haha, boys and their toys she use to say 😂
Så vackert där! Körde där i somras. Denna sommar blir det Strynfjellsvegen och briksdalsbreen samt lite annat. Vi åkte över Jotunheimensvägen förra gången och skulle vilja åka dit igen.
Takk for det Henrik... Ja dette er virkelig blandt det fineste av hva Sør-Norge har å tilby. Jotunheimsvegen er også veldig fin. Hele Beitostøl området også.
@@tshansen Ska försöka hitta riktigt bra tältplatser bara, sådana där wow-platser när man öppnar tältet på morgonen. Tack för dina grymma videos! Man blir att längta till våren 😍
@@Henka-mxpartsse ja, de kan være litt vanskelig å finne noen ganger, eller så er de opptatt. Det som er litt negativt med sosiale medier, de fleste vet akkurat hvor de skal campe 😇
@@tshansen haha 😂
Production value on par with the best of them! Very enjoyable to watch, even though it's close to home, Sogn og Fjordane is just something special. Hilsen en annen Bergenser på T7 ;)
Much appreciated Thomas 🤩👏🏻 Sogn og Fjordane is probably one of the best county in Norway when it comes to motorcycle riding. So many amazing places. Any trips planed on that T7 this year? Cheers
@tshansen Totally agree. I have mostly been around Sogn by car, but I'm eager to revisit some of the more remote gravel roads on the bike. Being a family man It's weekend-adventures for the most part. For this year, my goal is to ride more of TET Norway. Do you have something big planned for 2023?
Making me want to buy a Tenere and head over to Norway, those roads look incredible.
I can't find any reason why you should not 🤣🎥 Would be amazing to see you exploring my parts of the world with your camera skills 🔥
@@tshansen I will 100% get over to Norway one day, maybe not a Tenere though as my little legs won't fit 😁
@@ClassicRides make sure to reach out to me before, and let’s see what we can make of it 👏🏻🔥
Jupp,kvalitetsvideo igjen👍Disse veiene bør kjøres utenom fellesferien. Har ikke kjørt disse veiene på min T7 men har gjort det mange ganger før med sportsykler type Honda VTR 1000 FIRESTORM (godt oppgradert og meget tørst og morsom) og Honda VF 1000 R. Nå går det mest i grusveier👍
Takk for det Jan... du har nok et veldig godt poeng der. Selv tidlig og sen sesong kan det være tjukt i bobiler og busser her. Jeg var heldig denne gangen, men hjelpe meg jeg har stått noen ganger å ventet på at trafikken skal forsvinne 🙈 VTR 1000 ja, dæven... jeg var så keen på den sykkelen i ungdommen selv. To hissige piper bak, og den lyden. Ja, det går nok bare i adventure her om dagen også. Men jeg må si jeg savner å ha en skikkelig vei maskin på tunet.
@@tshansen jeg har hatt to vtr 😊 massivt dreiemoment og skikkelig god lyd med rett anlegg 👍. Med rette og riktige dempere går den som på skinner. Blir nok en til på meg når jeg finner den rette. Er ikke så morro på asfalt med bare 700 kubikk og knastdekk nei,men T7'n er knallfin til det den er tiltenkt når den er riktig oppsatt som min 😁
Hey Thomas i hate to only give you positiv feedback 😜 another beutyfull and great video 😊
you have saved 15 minutes of my friday night while the wife watches xfactor five chair 😂 , starting the Dream of a new bike in 2023 and lots of rides , what to chose T7 to gravel and fun or a v-strom 650\1000 xt to touring and some gravel hmm keep up dreaming Old grumphy man maybe the answer is in House before the 1. Of marts
Haha, well... then you need to dig up some dirt and start nit picking on the stuff that needs improving. I can think of many things myself, but that I will improve in the upcoming year ☺️ Glad you liked it mate. Always appreciate the nice feedback. Well, I know the feeling. The voice is on here tonight. Well, you need to pick the bike that suits your need the most. Dreams are ment to come true 😉💸
Sorry if I sound like a cracked record here, but your video's are something else, and a cut above the rest. I was lucky enough to see Geiranger in glorious unbroken sunshine a few years ago. I couldn't believe my luck. Been up and down the Trollstigen road a few times too. Just simply stunning. The quality of your video's are exceptional everything is just spot on. They are, as always, a pleasure to watch. Makes me want to get back to Norway again, sooner rather than later. Just a thought here, if you do decide to start up another channel, how about doing a tour of your fire station where you work, maybe some people would find that really interesting. Maybe your boss would give it the green light ?.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for a great video. 👍👍👍👍🏍🏍🏍🏍
Haha, thank you so much mate, it is highly appreciated. Yeah, it is something else when you get really nice weather on these places. I love it when it is partly cloudy like now. So you get more of a dramatic sky. It is easy to understand where all the Norwegian folklore is coming from.
I have or I'm already trying to do that. Make a video from my work and some stuff around that. But we just had a crew with us every day for a year (made a documentary for television here in Norway) So I had to wait for them to finish. Let me see what I can make of it. Cheers
Great video! Norway is so beautiful. What Brand is your tent? Looks ok👍😊
Thank you Johnny 👏🏻 I have a HelSport Reinsfjell Pro 3. I really great Norwegian tent brand
🤩 this is absolutely insane ❤ the amount of work you have put into this one… amazing video my friend. Really. You are a complete film crew in one guy and then to think about you pack it all onto a bike. Superb quality.
You have officially surpassed Ariemann1 👍
Well… I’m not sure about surpassing Ariemann1, but i love that you think so, he is a absolute legend and a true inspiration for my own work. To just be talked about in the same sentence as him is one of the biggest compliments i got. 👏🏻 Really glad you liked this video mate. Takk!!! 🍻
Som vanligt underhållande video från dig Thomas. Har flera gånger besökt detta område och älskar det. Tyvärr har Trollstigen blivit lite av en "motorväg", folk kör som idioter. På 80-talet var Trollstigen mer inspirerande och roligare att köra.
Takk for det Tom.... kjekt å høre du likte filmen. Ja, det er blitt ganske populært å kjøre her, men jeg opplever ikke at folk kjører så tullete her, Men klart, nå er jeg ikke så ofte på disse kanter. så jeg får nok ikke med meg all galskapen med buss og bobil 🤭
Du er suveren til å lage videoer !! Jeg synes du er i samme klasse som Got2Go…artig å se deg på tv serien 110 også…😊
Takker og bukker Kjell-Iver. Det er veldig hyggelig å høre. Haha, ja jeg har blitt kjent igjen ett par gange fra den serien allerede, så var artig å få være med på. Kjekt at folk får litt bredere innsikt i hverdagen vår på jobb.
Fantastic scenery! You were really lucky with the weather on this trip 😎 or do you have connections with higher powers?
I'm starting to think I got some special connections, because it was the same last year as well 🤣
Always such great production. Your videos are a joy to watch. What tent are you using here, out of interest?
Hello Luke, and glad to hear you enjoy the video! 🎥🔥 the tent is from HELSPORT and is called Reinsfjell PRO 3
👍
Epic episode 👍👍👍👍 Quik question from you Danish neighbor, what did you use to change the display colors on the speedometer?
Hello Pauli… i did not change the colour of my speedo.. the dash on the World Raid is different from the regular T7 👏🏻
