Awesome - thank you so much for letting us be a part of your adventures 🙏🤘🍀
You are welcome Matthias. Appreciate the comment and glad you like my adventures. Cheers 🎥
Probably the most peaceful riding vlogs I’ve seen till now.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed this episode 🔥
I always thought we were blessed with Yorkshire landscapes, but Norway is just a different level❤ another classic Thomas production 🙌🏼👏🏼 thank you 🙏
Hahaha, thank you Simon. I'm not quite familiar with Yorkshire landscapes myself, so I really can't judge the way you can. But I have to agree... there is something with the Norwegian nature that is just over the top sometimes. Really glad you liked this episode as well. Cheers ☕️
Drone footage makes all the difference in todays adventure videos. Great stuff.
Couldn't agree more! Drone footage is the cheatcode for videos today. It makes for so much better content.
Hello Thomas, how do you manage to make each successive video better than the already fantastic video???!!! You simply AMAZE me!
This is the video that sealed it for me: Norway looks F***ING incredible! Your country is on my bucket list of places to see before I pass away! But there seems SO MANY PLACES to see! I would need six months to see even some of what you show.
And doing it on a motorcycle just makes me SO ANXIOUS for the spring to arrive and get out and enjoy the countryside.
And I know that I sound like a broken record, but the drone footage and camera work are simply too good for words. I got a lump in my throat looking at all of the beautiful scenery. Your videos make me want to look at them again and again…AND AGAIN!
Saying…THANK YOU!!!! just doesn’t seem enough. But I will say THANK YOU, and you know that it is most sincere. Cheers!
Well, I’m really glad to hear you say this, because i had a hard time editing this, because i felt like i did not have a story or enough happening this day to be a good episode, but it will probably look better in the long video in the end. So to hear all this positive and amazing feedback on something i was scared did not live up to the expectations and what i normally do, makes me really happy. And probably shows how easy it is to second guess yourself or have doubts. Again, tank you for taking the time to watch my videos, taking the time to comment and give me valuable inputs so i can become better as well. That is so damn underrated and i appreciate it a lot. Thank you 😊
@@tshansen ❤
The majestic beauty of Norway with the glorious sound track of a T7 , captured by “the Director & Producer” tshansen 👍🏻
Haha, thank you mate, i really appreciate the support 👏🏻 I get it you enjoyed this episode as well ☺️😂 More to come, much more 🎥
What an amazing landscape. So full of life. Plants living on the edge of the harshest environments is fantastic to see. Thank you for your videos.!
So nice of you Solisman, and thank you for taking the time to watch my content. More to come 🤩
When you think it can’t get any better…you always do better! Amazing video. I found myself counting the shots; drone clip, roadside clip, helmet clip, tripod clip, drone clip… people don’t realize the amount of work and thinking behind it. I am considering to challenge myself and make such a vid for my followers but think it is easier to just direct them to your channel😂 Thanks for this piece of art👌👍
Wow, thank you mate. It is funny you say this, because I felt like this was the hardest episode to make. I had so much footage this day I could not use or did not make any sense. So I really struggled to "tell" a story. On the first gravel road it was back and fourth a coulpe of times, I have to admit that 🙈😆 But that place deserves to be showcased in the best possible way. You really need to try it yourself. It is really fun and gives you so much more fun on some of the travels. Cheers mate 🍻
I don't know what to admire first! The places, the music, the scenery?
In any case your videos are so interesting and cause a nice feeling of calmness! Excellent! 💯💯
That is so great to hear. I really try to communicate with both frames and sound. And the music is so important to compliment it all, but so damn hard to get right. I have to admit, I spend way to much time looking for that perfect tune in every video 🤣🙈 Glad you liked it. Cheers ☕️
Hi Thomas. Another video, another story. "Only" 13 min but always a pleasure to watch! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it my friend 🤩 I do understand these episodes are a bit short for many, but it will all be put together as a long video when the last episode is done. So we are getting about 1 to 1 and a half our of continues footage 🤭🎥
Awesome cinematography, aerial shots, and music!! Norway it’s magnificent!!
Thank you so much Benji. Really glad you enjoyed it. Cheers 🎥
Aw man! Every time I watch one of your videos Thomas, I'm left wishing that we had a few gravel roads to play on here in Scotland.
Showing us the best Norway has to offer as always. Thank you 👏🏻
We are not spoiled with gravel roads here on the west coast of Norway either mate. But we have a few high in the mountains, and on the Eastside. So you don't need to travel more than a day to be in gravel heaven. And with Sweden close by, you can really explore for weeks. That is quite nice. I saw a post last night on the TET side that another lane was closing down? Glad you enjoyed this episode mate. Cheers ☕️
@@tshansen By "closing down" do you mean that they are actually closing the road and stop maintaining it, or are they going to lay asphalt?
@@CampbellZeroOne I think about the green lanes in Uk, I'm not sure what they mean by closing it. I think they just make it illigal to ride with a motorbike there. It is only for walking and horse riding.
@@tshansen Ah. A real shame that. Hopefully it's not the first of many. Scotland with all of its space should be more like Norway and Sweden. Unfortunately though, much of the land is owned by a few very powerful people who have friends in high places and will only allow walkers or horse riders to access it.
Professional standard vidios mate.. A real pleasure to ride with you. Big thanks. 👍😎🇬🇧
Glad you enjoyed it and I find great pleasure in sharing my adventures in this way. Glad you liked to tag along. Much more to come Peter. Much more. 🎥
French biker support'!!!! ✌️🇫🇷
Really great job!
Merci beaucoup, agréable à entendre 🤌🏻
Glad you liked the video mate. Cheers
Goosebumps just seeing these videos...... Can't wait till August..
Thank you so much Gert. Really cool to hear that, and so glad to hear you enjoy this series 🤩 Hope this riding season will be just as good as last years. Cheers ☕️
Another fantastic episode, Thomas. 😊 Once again, I am absolutely thrilled with your recordings. And the descent from Blåhø made me particularly impressive. Best regards, Claudius
So glad to hear this Claudius. I'm really enjoying the process of making all this so it is quite unique to have so many nice comment about your work. Blåhøe is really impressive and when you go down again, In the late evening sun. Just so incredible. Camera can't do it justice. Cheers mate.
Love this great footage again; great camerapositioning/ angles and final cut. It becomes more and more professional, almost like a professional documentary. Well done Thomas.
Thank you so much Wiel. Really glad to hear you enjoyed this episode. I find great pleasure in the whole editing and visual storytelling, and I think this will continue to make the content better. It makes me really happy to hear that people can see that I evolve and make better content as the years pass. Cheers
Excellent video Thomas!! A ‘helmet psychology’ session amidst grand landscapes can be therapeutic… As well as a great chicken burger 😊
Thanks for sharing your trip! 👍
Well said my friend 👏🏻 and thank you for watching. Appreciate the support 👏🏻 Cheers ☕️
Amazing, simply Amazing!! Thank you Thomas!! 👍👍
Thank you too Nelio, really appreciate the ongoing support 👏🏻 Cheers ☕️
Great job Thomas. The mix of on bike, drone footage was really good. The views from above only exacerbate how beautiful your country is. Continuity of the switching sequences really carried the vid along. A good mix of personal words help bring the human element into play as well. I've fought the road demons now for well over 40 yrs. They can be punishing worse than trolls. A couple of close friends have done the same. Many do. Just remind yourself how fortunate you are to be in this position of discovery from a motorcycle. When editing think how damn beautiful your place really is. Enjoy the family. They are only young once and it flies by. Not been to Lofoten yet, man how can you stand it.
Thank you so much Sam, you have a lot of wise sayings lately 👏🏻 Road Demons can be the worse sometimes, but I think it is really important to show that aspect of riding as well. We are all human and in these times it looks like people think this is not normal. That life is only sunshine and rainbows. I'm really sad to see how many people who claims they are depressed and struggles and I wanted to show that this is something we all go trough ever now and then. I have been to Lofoten, I was there back in 2016.... and I have wanted to go back every year since. But something always get's in the way. But I will get up there again mate, you be sure of that. Cheers ☕️
Super film 🎥 Thomas, more and more and more beautiful scenery...fab place to ride and explore 👏 Cheers, Steve
aaaah... thank you so much Stephen 🎥 This is a really nice area to ride. The more you get over to the east side you loose some of the spectacular mountains. Next episode I will take a closer look at Sognefjellet 😇🇳🇴
Truly a beautiful place to ride. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸
It really is Darryl. Thank you for watching. Stay safe mate. Cheers ☕️
Wow…just WOW. Thank you for this beautiful video👏🏽 I can’t wait to ride there!!! Gorgeous views!!! 🌟💙
Glad you enjoyed it Lindy 🤩 You have so much to look forward too 🤌🏻🇳🇴 Cheers ☕️
Great job Thomas! Stunning landscape. Norway is on my list of must go places. Also so nice to hear you talk about the different emotions you experience whilst on a trip. I felt the same when on my trip last year. Keep up the good work. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it David. And I try to leve that stuff in there, because I think it is important to show that this is normal. Everyone or at least most people I have talked with experience stuff like this from time to time. And the road demons can be really hard to shake sometimes. Stay safe mate, and let's hope for another great season on two wheels. 🎥
You'd make a wonderful ambassador for Norway, Thomas. Beautiful countryside, great drone footage. Cheerio from Nürnberg, Günter
Many thanks Günter... I try to show trough my camera how I feel and what I appreciate when I'm out riding. Nature and easy living is a huge part of that. This is how I find my piece. Glad you liked this episode as well mate. Cheers ☕️
@@tshansen You find that in your videos, Thomas. I wonder why so many motorcyclists prefer roads to nature. May the new season start, Günter
Well yet again, another fantastic video to enjoy. I can remember the 1st time I went to Norway way back in 88, I couldn't believe my eyes. At that time the Norwegian tourist board, advertised it as a scenic surprise round every corner. They weren't kidding. I almost ran out of film on the 1st day. Norway is on another level, it's just out of this world. I had an English friend in Bjørkedal, and he used to laugh at me, because I just couldn't get over how stunning it was where he lived. Sadly he's no longer with us, but I still go back now and again to remember him, and to experience Norway and all it has to offer. I for one, ( like all the rest who have commented ) am so grateful for all the hard work that you obviously put into these video's. Is Nordkapp on the cards this year Thomas?.
Looking forward to tonight's video from the Nordic ADV TV ( 3 Musketeers ) 👍👍
Haha, running out of film. Damn I know the feeling. First startet out with film cameras my self. The old Olympus. And it is not far from the truth, it is almost a scenic surprise around every corner. In some parts of Norway it is just endless with views and scenic vistas. Really glad to hear you enjoy my videos and little projects. It makes me really happy to hear that people can relive old memories trough my work. Absolutely humbling experience. I have North Cape on the top of the list every year. But there is no guarantee. I have so many plans this year, I just hope I mange to get trough half of them. I have so many invites around Europe and places I would like to see for my self as well. So I have to see what I can manage. But one thing I can promise, what ever I do, I will bring my camera 😇🎥
"Lesja, middle of nowhere" 😳 Lol 😂
Hahaha, I'm not wrong 🤣👏🏻
Sept 1st. That same day I was up at Kvislådalen at TET section 2, south of Alvdal, while doing a solo trip. Exceptionally good weather that week!
Yeah, this week was really nice weather. It has been like this a couple of years in a row now 🤩👏🏻 Hope you enjoyed your trip as much as I enjoyed mine. Cheers mate 🍻
Another wonderful video from your Norwegian adventures, just great! You really have an eye for even the smallest views that makes us feel as if we're part of them. Thanks!!
Thank you very much Henrik. Really appreciate the nice comments. And there is one secret super power with traveling alone. Composition 😇☺️ Cheers
Cup of coffee and nature: best way to start a day!
What a beauty of a ride!
Couldn't agree more, great scenic views, a good warm cup of coffee and another adventure ahead of you. Recipe for a perfect day. Cheers
you are an inspirational person, thanks for your nice videos. tack så mycket 🤘👌
Thank you so much mate, that is really nice to hear. Glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Hi Thomas, what a nice Video. Thanks!
Hello mate, thank you, so glad to hear you liked it 👏🏻
This was beautiful. ♥️
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it 👏🏻
Wow wonderful place ❤️❤️
Glad you liked it mate 😉👏🏻
I can appreciate your feeling at odds between being away solo on the bike and then missing your family back home especially with a young one. That said thanks for sharing the incredible footage. Greetings from British Columbia
Thank you mate. Yes, some days are just really terrible on the road in this regard. I think the really high up's gives some downers after, so when the day have many highlights it is easy to get the feelings at the end of the day. Not sure. I always try to analyse this stuff and figure it out. I accept that it is like this, but can I prevent it? Glad you liked this episode. appreciate it. Cheers ☕️
Just love your videos! Going to Norway this summer for the first time on a bike 😀
Thank you Anneli 🤩🎥 you are up for one amazing adventure, that is forsure. Hope you will be lucky with the weather. Cheers 🇳🇴
Me too. These videos make me want to go even more
Planing to ride the Norwegian TET. Dont know but the weather on the westcoast seems really rainy and cold. Am I right?
@@anneligustafsson16 Sometimes yes... It can rain a lot here, the eastern part of Norway does not has so much rain, but what they lack Is beautiful views and twisty roads. So it is absolutely worth it to go west. Cold, It depends what your definition of cold is. 😇
Another fantastic, inspiring and beautifully edited film - but I had to open the windows at 10.26
Thank you so much mate. Hahaha, yeah... I had to wash those socks in the river that night. Hope the fish did all right 😆
lovely
Thank you Stavro ☕️
Excellent, @Thomas! The scenery and footage couldn't be done better by a professional. Extremely grateful for what you do! 🙂🙂🙂
Wow, thank you so much Björn, that is quite a compliment. Appreciate it a lot. So glad you enjoy my videos. Cheers 👏🏻
Hello 🙋🏻♂️ great episode. Very nice places and good job 🎥😁👌
Thank you so much Lutzifer, have you been in the area maybe? Really glad you enjoyed it and hope you guys are doing great on your journey as well. Cheers 🍻
@@tshansen not yet... Maybe one day 😁👌 thanks 🙏☺️
What an incredible landscape to move through. Your videos, bit by bit, are making me want to ditch the Bonneville and get an adventure bike 😁
Hahaha, funny you should say that. I have the same issue with your videos. Want to go all in on the old gentleman style and a nice looking old Cafe Racer or something like that on the really nice days 😇💸 Life is too short to only have one bike. I have come to realise this now. 🤣 Cheers mate 🍻
@@tshansen I think you're right, more than one bike is the answer. I just have to get the Boss-Lady to agree and then find an adventure bike I can actually fit 😁
@@ClassicRides Hahaha, the Boss-Lady, is that the one who is always right, even if she is wrong 🤣 I think I got one of those here as well.
Such an amazing weather it was in this video and it really shows that September can be really nice in western Norway 👌👍🙏🙂😎
Couldn't agree more Marcus. And it seams like I have been really lucky with the weather for 3 years on a row now 😆 Cheers
👏👏👏
Cheers 🍻
What a nice trip you did there, beautiful place for riding also
It really is, thank you 🤩 I really nice road that is easy to miss if you don't know about. Cheers
Great content, as always 👌 .
Appreciate it mate. glad you enjoyed it 🤩
just getting better an better.! when your saving up for a new bike, an winter is here. This just what one needs. So thanks you alot. 🤗
Btw hes not the only dane who's going to ride your tracks later ;-)
What bike are you planing on buying? 🤩👏🏻Haha, great to hear that. I think sharing is caring, so I'm more than happy to share my routes and adventures. Cheers
@@tshansen i am looking at a Yamaha FZ6 S2 ABS 2009 :)
@@skyridercommendor6303 That is a great bike.
And another great video! Thanks for the ride!
On the beautiful campsite near Åndalsnes I was 2020 also.
Minute 8:20 my Tenere has the same tank decor :)
Thank you mate, appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed this. The campsite is truly beautiful, really small but still really nice. And if you like a cold, or really cold bath. The river is perfect for that. The world map decor you are referring to? Cheers
@@tshansen Yes i mean the world map decor. i have the same since 3 years.
@@EnduroFun4Life Yeah, I really like that as well. I hope to custom make something for my own bike this year. Want to make it stand out a little bit more
Fantastic Video 😀
Tusen takk ☕️
Another windy monday evening saved by the TS 😉 ,
Good Morning Kim... Not much weather to talk about up here either. So it is great to sit back and enjoy some of the old trips, editing and relive the whole experience. Cheers 👏🏻
Again just amazing. Even though I can bug you that I'm already riding around, nothing I do here compares to those views!
Hahaha, thank you 🤣 Yeah, riding now would be really nice, but riding with incredible views is just that little bit extra. Im really looking forward to start planing this seasons adventures 🎥
@@tshansen Together with many more I believe, I am looking forward to more amazing footage of you.
And if you ever decide to cross over to the little country The Netherlands, there are two Africa Twins who do not mind to babysit your T7 in the shed here in the south 😜
Best content on UA-cam!
@@thore-mortengeipel9693 Thank you for the nice comment mate 🎥
Magic views Tjommi, well captured and nice details. You nailed it again 🙌 Kjetil that You met, is that our known Kjetil? 👀 This videos makes me want some summer warmth, now! But 8°C today so it's getting closer. Plan an adventure for the weekend but weather looks worse... See You at Nordic ADV TV! 💪🍺
This is Kjetil Strand, another Kjetil, but he is good friend with our Kjetil 😂🔥 a lot of Kjetil up there 👍🏻 Yeah, i really want to go camping again! It is crazy what some degrees and sun can do with you need for new Adventures! See you soon on Nordic ADV TV tjommi 🤩🍻

Excellent video! Rode Sandgrovbotnvegen late July, fabulous road! Slådalsvegen is somewhat of a gravel & dirt freeway, but enjoyable all the same. Looking forward to venturing up in that direction again this year. :)
Thank you Knut. And yes, I have to agree....Slådalsvegen is more like an unpaved freeway. I actually like to ride it the other way around, from Vågåmo to Lesja, because I think that has much more beautiful views. You are coming up here again this year? Cheers ☕️
@@tshansen Agree on that! Yeah too many cool roads in the region. Plus one way to figure out how the/a new bike performs is to take it on the same roads ridden last year. Lets hope the wait won't be too long!
Hallo Thomas. Simply beautiful again, great .... . I can't really describe it because your pictures are simply indescribable. It's been so long since I was in Norway, I think it's time to travel again. Keep it up! Greetings and have a nice week from Frank
Thank you very much Frank 👏🏻 Really glad you enjoyed this as well. The one real superpower you have with travel alone. Composition. Travel is the only thing that gives us more richness, and I can't wait for the new season to begin. I really just need more time of work 🤣 Will do my best, much more to come 🎥
@@tshansen Hello! Yes, I think we work too much and we should have more time for the beautiful things in life. So we wait for the start of the season and get on our bikes. Greetings from the office 😂
@@gs850biker Yeah, without a doubt mate.... We burry ourself in work and fill up our schedule only to become more and more stressed and loose touch on what is most important. Living life
I love it! So amazing Norway. The weather seems very good. Scotland north coast was so much rain! Whats the best time of year to visit Norway? Thanks. Hans. Canada.
Thank you Hans. Really glad to hear you enjoyed it. I would say that the best time of year is august and September. It is still warm and it’s normally really nice weather in these months. Cheers
Great episode! Really enjoyed it. What tent are you using?
And nice to see JØ & co as well.
Thank you Pål. Really glad to hear you enjoyed this. I’m using the Reinsfjell Pro 3 form HelSport. Really glad i bought this tent. It is so much better than my old Fjellheimen camp 3 (for motorcycle travels) Yeah, was a really great surprise to meet Kjetil and JØ. Always a smile and funny story. Cheers
Your Tenere sounds as great as the views are stunning. A+++ for your filming and production.
You must have a very understanding gf. Must be hard when you are away missing your kid, but what an excuse to see your beautiful country. Maybe one day you will ride with your daughter and show her what you have seen, the beauty of her country.
Thank you Alex, really appreciate your comments and ongoing support 👏🏻
Haha, you are not the first one who have said that. But yes, she is really understanding, and she understand that I have a passion for travel and motorcycle. This is quite unique. Yeah, some days are really strange that way. It seams like the 3 or 4 day are always the worst when missing home. It is a Son I have, he is soon 9 years old now, and I really hope I can bring him on some future adventures. Maybe in a camper van with a bike on the rear. We have to see... 😇 Cheers mate
@@tshansen I do apologise, son. What made me think daughter? We won't have the possibility of another Itchy Boots then ......9 is such a great age to be, still definitely a kid but not into teenage years where things start becoming serious. But the thing is not to take things too seriously. Another 8-9 years and he could be riding with you on his own bike on an adventure.. Some great times to look forward to. ATB.
Excellent Video Such beautiful scenery ...... when we gonna see the new osmo in action looking forward to you next episode .... great travel maps and watching the video on your advice on making travel maps very impressive using them for my next adventure thanks for the advice always great advice.
Thank you very much Tristan. I'm actually planing to do a new travel map video soon. I get a lot of questions about how I did the map animations in the last series, and I thought that could be of interest for some of you. Cheers 🎥
@@tshansen that’s good news I’ll be watching out for that. Ps thank you for Kogi support ☺️
@@AdvenTrisMoto I know how much that stuff means to me, so I try to give back to others every now and then. So follow you dream and continue to make great content my friend. Cheers ☕
@@tshansen thank you my friend that means a lot. 😉
Fantastic Video cant wait to visit in June on my Raid. Can i ask what tyres you use please ?
Thank you Carl, really glad to hear you liked this episode. I use the TKC80 up front and the mitas e-07+ rear. I find this to be one of the best combos for my kind of riding (adventure riding) I use more knobby rear when I do only offroad trips. Cheers 🍻
Hærlig video! Nå er det snart sesongstart. Jeg er ikke noe grusmenneske, men ser jo også fordelene med å kjøre litt utafor asfalten for det. All ære til jobben du gjør rundt filmingen. Virkelig innertier. Jeg vet hvor mye tid dette tar. Stå på videre. Håper våre veier møtes en gang i sommer :)
Takk for det Ove 🤩👏🏻 Alltid kjekt å få den type tilbakemeldinger. Ja, jeg gleder meg noe helt enormt til sesong selv. Blir jo småsjuk av å sitte å redigere på slikt nå i verste PMS perioden. Grus er egentlig før og etter. Har man først fått smaken på det, så åpner det seg en helt ny verden, men det blir å forutsette traktor og hissig gore-tex bekledning 😆💸 Det blir forhåpentligvis mye turing i sommer, så ikke utenkelig at våre veier møtes. Skal du på messa på Lillestrøm?
@@tshansen ja, jeg tenker meg en tur dit. Tar toget inn og tenker å avslutte kvelden med noen pils i hovedstaden. :)
@@Ove_Bjerknes jeg blir å kjøre bil bort, men usikker på om jeg skal campe eller hotell! Noen pils er vel obligatorisk etter slikt!
@@tshansen hadde vært kult og funnet på noe. Velger du hotell, så kan jeg jo evt. sitte på med deg til Oslo fra messen eller noe. Du kan jo tekste meg når det nærmer seg, så blir vi enige hvis det er interresant. Sender deg nummeret mitt i tillfelle du ikke har det. :)
Hei. Har du noen gang kjørt fylkesvei 5400 fra Dale, opp til storfossen Demning, og vidre gjennom denne dalen? Ser ut som en fantastisk vei!!! (Hello. Have you ever driven county road 5400 from Dale, up to the great Storefossen Dam,and on through this valley? Looks like an amazing road!!!)
Yes, der kjører jeg ganske ofte. Også kjent som Bergsdalen her på Vestlandet. Kjekkeste veien å gjøre mellom Dale og Voss 👏🏻Området rundt Hamlagrø er fantastisk flott
Brrapppp
One gear down, modulate the clutch, full throttle...... 😇🤌🏻
Fingers crossed for no (more) rain tomorrow as forecasted and I will go up Blåhøe (depending on road conditions).
I just passed on Slådalsvegen today, going to Åndalsnes and it looks like some of the area was hit hard with rain. So hope that the road up to blåhøe is open and not to bad.
@@tshansen thanks for the heads up. Maybe I just have a peek 🫣
I already hit a roadblock on 51 today. Can it get more adventurous? 😇😂
But jokes aside. I feel sorry for the destroyed infrastructure and people who got injury or worse.
@@tshansen Blåhøe was a very nice ride up but with zero view on the top. Then Geiranger and then camp ⛺️. Thank you Norway 🇳🇴
Great to know! Same with Trollstigen and the gondole up from Åndalsnes yesterday
@@tshansen I’m catching up. No threat intended. 😆
Again a nice video. Loving your country! What is your main tire choise for the T7?
Thank you Rob. My main tire choice on most of my trips are the Continental tkc80 front and mitas e-07+ Rear. that is the best 50/50 setup I have come across. And that is not only because of the tires being better than everything else, but they are way cheaper for me to buy here in Norway compared to other brands. Like almost half the price compared to others sometimes.
@@tshansen why not a set of the same brand tyres? Way to expensive or you just like this set up so much? I'm still running the stock Pirelli STR's. Loving them untill now. But i'm looking around for a new set.
@@ApriliaTuonoV4 Because I absolutely love the extra grip the tkc80 gives up front on gravel, and it still performs like a less knobby tire on the road. So I stick with this front tire for all my riding, but I can mix up my rear tire depends on my needs. I find the typical 50/50 front tires to be a little bit sketchy on the gravel, they kinda wash out in the corners. Not sure how to explain it better
Endnu en fantasktisk video 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Hvad koster det at campere
Med telt på de campingpladser ?
Takk for det Thomas 🤩 Det koster rundt 200 - 250 nok vanligvis i campe på de mange campingplassene vi har rundt her. Prisene kan variere i høysesong, men det er som regel ganske rimelig.
How much time do you spend on rigging up and down those drive by / drive away shots? That seems like a hell of a lot of work!
Well, It is all part of what I find so great with riding a motorcycle and make video. You develop some rutine and it is not that much work when you have done it a couple of times. But I guess doing what you love is never much work or a hard time. It is just part of the fun and joy 🎥
How are you attaching the drone controller to your handle bars? It looks like it might be the quad lock but can't tell 100%
ua-cam.com/users/shortsANABA01vKN4 take a look at the short video I made. here you can see every part I used to mount it. Cheers
@@tshansen amazing, thank you
Hi! What tent is that? It looks like a copy of the Karrimor X lite X2sg I had 10 years ago!😊
This is a Reinsfjell Pro 3, from a Norwegian Brand called HelSport.
@@tshansen Just a quick question: Would you recommend a Reinsfjell 3 or a 2 for a single adventure in Norway?
@@henriksnderby2399 Will for single use only I would take the 2 person tent. I choose the 3 person tent to have a little bit more room to my equipment inside the tent, and to be able to use it on family trips.
@@tshansen Thanks Thomas!

Are sites you could check out when it comes to bike rental in Norway.
What make is your tent and is it a 3 person tent?
This is a Tent from HelSport (Norwegian brand) and the model is : Reinsfjell Pro 3. Yes it is a 3 person tent. It is almost the same size as a 2 person and I can use it on family trips as well.
@@tshansen thank you !
@@deanmayke6959 You are welcome
@@tshansen unfortunately they don’t ship to Canada , I’ll see what I can find here …
@@deanmayke6959 More expensive but the Hilleberg tents from sweden are probably the best tent maker in the world.
Greetings from Amsterdam..
I need help as I booked a bit too early in the season a motor trip to Norway .. I arrive at May 13th in Kristiansand and departure at May 19th. Just too early to enjoy the mountain roads. It is my first time in Norway and want to do wild camping, hytte and stay 2 nights in Bergen on May 15th until May 17th. Can we get in contact so you can help me with a route? I am also traveling on a KTM, new model 1290 SAS.. all your help is much appreciated 🙏🙏
No worries mate, send me a email and I help you out in any way I can. 👏🏻
Loving your channel as we are heading to Norway next year for are first trip it is great to see what is in store for us .we hope to take in some Norwegian tet on are trip and was wondering about the tolls you touched on this in one of your videos but any advice would be appreciated
Thank you Wilson. Well, some of them can be payed with card, others are payed in cash. Everything from 5,- to 20,- nok depends on where you are going. And you have some of the bigger roads, like Slettefjellsvegen, Grimsdalen etc that is automatically taking a picture of your license late and you need to go into a webpage and pay within the next 48 hours to prevent getting a extra fee.
@@tshansen thanks look forward till next video
Tell me again..what does it mean to "shoot and ride?" 😁 I never shot anything riding my motorcycle. Is that about shooting your camera and taking pictures???
Haha, it is all about riding around, shooting with your camera and capture moments 😇🎥
@@tshansen 🙄🙄🤪🤪
Smelly socks?
Just a bit 😝🔥
I’ve been following your incredible journeys through Norway for sometime now. My friend & I are coming over in July this year from Scotland. Do you think Scotland to Nordkapp & back is manageable in 3 weeks? We estimate around 5,000 in total.
Sounds great Ryan. You are up for a really nice adventure. I think that should not be any problem. How do you get from Scotland to Norway? Riding down south to the tunnel and up again, or are you taking any ferries to NL or DK? 3 Weeks should be enough, you may just need to skip some parts of the southern Norway. Cheers
@@tshansen thanks, we are very excited about the trip. We are getting the ferry from the uk to the Netherlands. I think from my home to Nordkapp & back Is around 5,000 miles! 😬
