WOW Thomas! What a beautiful & amazing video! This reminds me of those tourist advertisement videos promoting a Country but in an extended version. I've yet to find someone who promotes their own Country so well as you do, you're truly a great Norwegian ambassador of whom all Norwegian citizens should be proud! Every time I drop a coin into my piggy bank to buy my bike, it's another good reason why my trip to Norway and Nordkapp is the number one tour on my bucket list. Stay well & safe dear friend! 👍👍
Happy New Year Thomas. You really should be getting paid by the Norwegian tourist Board! This video will make a lot of people (including me) go and explore the country on two wheels
Happy new year mate, thank you for stopping by and enjoy my trip up north. Hope you are doing great 🙌🏻 I really hope more motorcyclists get their eyes up for what Norway has to offer. Cheers
There will always be competition between us Scandi's, who has the best football team, who has the strongest krone, who's king is the coolest, but Norway wipes all other scandinavian countries when it comes to stunning views and beautiful mountains. I need to go explore, just gotta remember my rain jacket ;-) Really nice film, great adventure, and good to meet your brother as well, solo rides is epic in it's own way, but it will always be more fun to share your ride with a friend or brother in this case. Thank you for the ride to beautiful Norway
Hahaha that is so true Daniel 😂 but we have to agree.... the Sweden king is THE king 😆 Even though, all countries has their own charm, the views is hold by Norway. I'm kinda blown away myself sometimes. Yeah, your latest balkan trips also remind me how important travel with friends is. I will always be a loner that enjoys solo travels, but sometimes. I need more company. Glad you liked it. See you soon 🙌🏻
This video screams adventure. It shows that you had a lot of fun and the editing and music selection is nothing but brilliant. I'm always happy when I see one of your videos coming up. Keep them coming Thomas and ride safe.
Thank you so much for the compliments. And yes, it is safe to say that I truly enjoy this, not only the riding and adventure, but to sit down and share the story afterwords is just as rewarding. 🙏🏻 Much more to come 🤩
Very enjoyable. Found myself smiling all the way through the video and also taking notes since I am planning a motorcycle trip to Lofoten and Nordkapp in 2025. In 2023 I was in south of Norway and one of the most enjoyable places I went to was thanks to you as you have recommended them in your earlier videos. Videos like this help us through the winter season. Thank you for what you do!
Glad you enjoyed it. The coast road up north is just magical and worth every single mile of tarmac to ride. Always nice to bring some summer memories into the cold ass winter 😂🙌🏻 Soon, new season again.
What a wonderful job you've done. OMG. I was unable to skip the video even for a sec. The filming, editing, drone shots, your pieces of advice... Everything was worth watching. Lots of love and respect from Pakistan
Your best video yet! Just watched it after the one on music in your films. It really shows the amount of work and effort you put into these videos. Thanks so much .
Thank you, appreciate that. Yeah, there is some thought and polish in this productions, but that is why I find it so fun and rewarding to do. Always nice when others enjoy the videos I put out. Cheers ☕️
Phenomenal video again. My first trip to Nordkapp was with my Dad. We visited Å on Lofoten where we were given free accomodation by a complete stranger who we are still friends with today. On that trip we carried on to Russia and visited Murmansk before heading home to Scotland. This year I am planning on returning to Norway. I'll be accompanied by a group of mates and my Dad once again. He's planning on revisiting Nordkapp but I'm skipping it in favour of Senja before we all regroup on Lofoten. I've sent them all your video. Thanks Thomas. Mike.
That sounds like quite an adventure! Never been to Russia myself, but would love to see more of that also, but that have to wait I guess 🙈 cool with those friendships that comes out to great hospitality 👏🏻 This is what adventure is all about! I hope to go up there again this year as well 🙏🏻🔥 cheers
I went from Stockholm to Nordkapp two years ago and to Lofoten last year. Was thinking about riding south this summer but I need to get back north! There’s nothing like it. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
Dette bragte mange minner tilbake, herlig å se igjen Lofoten gjennom dine kameraøyne 🤩 Har vært der oppe både sommer og vinter, og er mitt hjertet nært. Morro å se igjen Sakrisøy og omegn igjen hvor vi var på tur sist. Som alltid kjempekvalitet på håndarbeidet, virkelig hyggelig å se dere to sammen på tur også. Ha en fin søndag Thomas, håper den er god. Ser frem til vår og tørre veier nå vil jeg tro 😊
Man Norway is beautiful. You continue to capture its beauty and do an incredible job of presenting it for us. I spent a few days in Bergen a few years ago and can't wait to return!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the compliment. Bergen, my home town is also a great place to visit. Some parts of the west here is just amazing.
great video! you are blessed in your fantastic beautiful country and so completely with your brother on the road.🙂Norway is so beautiful. thanks for sharing your trips, you keep surprising. Wish you many safe kilometers🍀
Glad you enjoyed it sir. I really enjoyed this trip. Had some really good days with him up in the norths. Much more to come in 2025, and there might be some others I will travel with as well. Who knows 🤩
Great to see you back to your best, perfect touring mix of static, riding, camping and drone use but then you do have the best country in the world for scenery. It's now 10 years since my first of 4 trips from uk and I am pretty sure those would be the same roads I rode that I now miss and wish I could make a fith trip. Had details of one trip published in Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine here in uk but I could never explain the reason for those repeat trips as well as this video. I used the Bognes Lodingen ferry and my first wild camp was 20 miles north of the famous Nordland Arch when the new visitor centre was being built. Midnight run in daylight passing the Nordkapp Centre being a highlight Looking forward to see where you travel in 2025, stay safe and best wishes, thanks for posting.
That is so incredible to read. It is such a honor to make memories like this come alive trough my own videos. So nice to hear how others have visit and explored my country. And it is all in the sense of great adventures and many experiences richer. I'm going up here more often, that is just the way it has to be. So much more to explore and so many fantastic small places I want to try more of the food, meet the people and see more of the non touristy areas. 🙌🏻 Cheers
Yeah, I'm like this every winter, it is good to park at the end of the season, get a little break, and then you get that feeling, damn I want to go ride again! And it has never been worse. Can't wait for the new season 🙌🏻
Thank you Klaus, really glad you liked it. Nothing motivates me more to be honest. Can't wait to get back up there and explore more of the beauty that region got to offer. 🤩
Good morning Thomas. Breakfast with a good cup of coffee and your new video. Simply incredible what you do again, great pictures, music and your comments. And I agree with you: you have to take time for family and friends, more time! I hope you have a nice weekend and may the motorcycle season finally begin. Greetings Frank
Good morning mate. I'm enjoying a good cup of coffee as well, answering the many comments and prise for this video. Really glad people enjoyed it. I try to spend extra time on the story both visual and telling, or try to be better at it. And for me music is such an important part of that. And since I have had some struggles lately (with nightmares and stuff) I started to look within, search for answers and what is missing in my life. And there is no doubt I need to spend more time with friends, family and the ones that means most to me. So you might end up seeing other people in my videos as well going forward 😇 Cheers
Thank you for posting this wonderful film TSHansen. This has helped me get through another awful English winter. Please keep doing what you do. May the road rise with you. Love and respect from London, England.
Beautiful video again. I always enjoy your content, whether it's something at your cabin or when you've been on the road. You manage to make it into a captivating journey. I use your videos to inspire my own trips to Norway and will be doing so with this one as well. Thank you!
What a journey! Your ability to capture the moment of adventure is amazing. The mix of bike, landscape, details and top-drone-footage is brilliant. I visited Norway this summer, by car and tent, and not a single mosquito in sight! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙏🏻 always nice when you're able to waken the adventure sense in someone else. That is such a huge compliment. Hahah, no mosquito in Norway? That is pure luck or winter time 😂 Are you coming to the Adventure Expo in march? In stockholm?
Oh man, I just get butterflies looking at this longing for summer and finally doing that bucketlist ride to the Lofoten to shoot amazing photos and enjoy amazing roads. Thanks for the amazing video, great edit. Still loving the feel and flow of your stories.
What an amazing video. I relived my own journey almost two years ago by watching your video with the same intensity as when I rode my bike there. Excellent production and editing! Beautiful! Just beautiful!
Thank you mate, really appreciate this nice comment. Always glad when others can dip into great memories from their own trips trough my productions. It is an insanely beautiful region this. Cheers 🙏🏻
Ich habe dein Video bis zum Schluss sprachlos angesehen. Ich muss unbedingt auch in Norwegen mit dem Motorrad fahren. Großes Kompliment für dein Video!
Another great one, mate! This one made me long for my own motorcycle camping adventure. Why you don't have a Silver.....heck, a GOLD PLAY button is beyond me. Some of the best story telling right here on your channel. Cheers!
Thank you sir, I saw you had a good time at the stand as well. Really cool that you had such a big stand at the show 🙌🏻 Well, maybe one day, but my goal is to have fun and take care of my core audience 🙌🏻 for me it it has never been about the numbers 🎥 More to come mate, much more ☕️
@ Lofoten på sommeren, juli/august er et mareritt i bobiler og campingvogner. Har vært en del i Lofoten. Var der sist sommeren 2018 på MC. Ferga fra Bodø va smekk full, og vel fremme i Moskenes, og dalstrøka innaførr, va et like stort mareritt. Hadde tenkt å være i Lofoten et par dager, men ga det opp, og sa; «aldri mer» 😊 Vesterålen og Senja er fortsatt levelig, men det har tatt seg opp der også trafikkmessig på høysommer. God helg!
Absolutely stunning scenery, thanks for sharing with us, I’ll have to start saving up for a trip to Norway , ship my bike to Norway from Ireland would probably be the best option and fly over 🫡
Thank you mate, and really glad you liked it. Yeah, renting a bike here is probably a good or better option. Not sure what shipping a bike would cost to be honest.
Another great trip, Thomas! You've quickly jumped up to top of the list of my favorite motorcycle trip/camping channels on YT. I enjoy your calm narration, your chill demeanor, and fantastic ability to edit. What beautiful country Norway is; I caught myself so many times just shaking my head in awe of the sheer beauty of those fjords. Hopefully one day I get to make it over there for a trip of my own. Until then, though, I will continue to daydream through your incredible videos. Cheers from Alabama!
Wow, thanks! That is such a huge compliment and thank you so much for telling me. As you probably have seen, this is my number one passion. I just love to get out there, experience all this and try to share a story trough my eyes. That so many people enjoy it, is not only hard to understand, but a tru testament that this is important to continue doing. Thank you, and I really hope you one day have the possibility to visit Norway and see it with your own eyes. 🙏🏻
😮😮😮Whipped cream for cinnamon bun, a real misstep 😉. I've seen and tried that once in Rohdos, I'm never ever gonna do that again. That ruins every good cinnamon bun. Fortunately its free to do what you want. 😊 Awesome video as usual Tomas. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hahaha I thought so as well, but damn was I corrected in the best possible way. This buns was a level up with cream 🤌🏻 Absolutely amazing. Glad you enjoyed the video mate 😂
Haha... yeah we have both some sort of letters in our chart I think. Normal is something we try to stay away from, that is certain 😂 Glad you enjoyed this video mate. Cheers ☕️
Heisann Kjell... Det er vel kanskje et av de største komplimentene jeg har fått tror jeg 😆 Tusen takk og virkelig hyggelig å bli sammenlignet med selveste selveste 🙏🏻
Made the jouney alone in 2023. From Lindesness fir to Sletness fir via, de coast, Bodo, Lofoten, Senja, on to the Northcap and than back home via Finland Estonia, Letland, Lithouania, Polen and Germany. I never had a journey like this and am gratefull I was granted to do it. Hope to do it again with friends. But what magnificent trip it was. Thanks for charing a lot of familiar views and scenery. O jeah, like you I had my ordeal in bad weather and even a blizzard arriving on the Lofoten. See you on the road!!
Hello Thomas, what an adventure! Lofoten is a special place, for sure. Climbing up to Reinebringen was a pain, but the view is breathtaking! So many memories comes to mind watching your amazing videos. Cheers!
Thank you Vitor, so glad you enjoyed it. Haha, I can only imagine when I saw the stairs. I have not gone up there myself yet, but I hope to go back and do it in the upcoming years. 🙏🏻
Hello! Thanks for sharing so many awesome nature shots of your adventure trip. I can imagine that you really did appreciate the sunny days, but also it's good that you helped us to be aware of and flexible with weather changes. What a great video - love the drone shots.😊🌻
Hello Linda. Thank you so much for the nice comment. I really enjoyed this trip, I hope that shows. It is just something special with being out traveling, get to know new people, see new or old places with fresh perspective. Yeah, in the northern parts of Norway you really need to be prepared for the worst. And the distances is huge up there, so you can risk getting stuck for a couple of days with strong winds and rain.
Damn, that is impressive. Bicycle up here? how did you cope with the wind that is or almost always present 🙈 I had a talk with two who was cycling up to north cape in camp one night. And they had some struggle with all the hills.
I took the same route for the best part in 2022, had an overnighter at Forvik Handelskontoret (but the coffee was not as hailed and praised by some people who had injected the idea to go and try it). The route is fabulous... intending to return this year - hopefully - to spend more time in Helgeland... an ultimate pearl !
Hahaha.... the coffee some places here can be a video in it self. Some are good, most are not 😂 The route is absolutely amazing, and with so many small diversion you can take in all direction ending up at small villages or just a scenic spot. Will make a lot of effort to go up there again this year as well. 🤩
OMG what a trip! Especially the outside sleeping and the company of your brother makes me really feeling the adventure. Please realize you have a true gift for that in your films. Happy to see he rides a crf300l Rally🤩 a bike I am considering for a while now. Any opinions? Love the T7 sound in this film as well and the good choice for music. Another piece of art Thomas, thanks for creating this👌🔥
Thank you Ricard 🙌🏻 Yeah, sleeping under the star like this and just find an open spot is probably something I would not do alone. It is much easier when you are two? Not that it's not allowed, but you don't want to bother anyone when you are alone the same way. It is unbelievable how much easier it is to create dynamic and moving shots when you are two. And he enjoy being filmed so it is really easy to tell him what to do and he understands and make a great compliment to some of the shots. I have not tried the bike myself, but I know he complain about a stiff ass, and on some of the clips, it sounded like something was loose on that bike 😂 Really glad you liked it. It was hard to make this a story, had way to much content that was only relative to me and my brother. Cheers ☕️
I look forward to all your new videos ....this one was well worth the wait ! Your such a fantastic story teller and film maker... Keep up the good work we all enjoy..... 👍🥃
Thank you sir, really appreciate that. I'm trying to perfect the craft every now and then, and this video was a little bit different from what I'm used to, but nice to hear it was good. Cheers 🙏🏻
as always a great video showing a gorgeous norway both in the beauty of the sunshine and the difficulty of the bad weather, but the company this time gave you something extra. One particular note is where you slept near a hotel, a terrace by the sea, if we do that here we get arrested for vagrancy 😀
You could risk getting told off here as well, but as long as you behave, don't disturb anyone and explain the people who might be offended, you can get away with it. It is a risk we were willing to take, since all the camping spots in miles around was occupied by huge camper vans.
Bravo Thomas. Amazing video as always. It never fails to watch our beautiful country in full display. I would almost recommend a drinking game for this video. Everytime you took a ferry you would have a drink 😅😅
Takk Stian 🙏🏻 Always nice to hear the videos are worth watching. There is always a slikt feel of doubt in front of each production 😂 Haha a drinking game for every ferry and every time I passed a camper van 🙈 I have so much footage of that 😆
Fv17. One of the greatest roads i've ever seen. I drove it in 2017. Also went to Lofoten and the North Cape. A great ride. Hopefully i can repeat that trip in June this year. Thanks for your great video. Always a joy to watch your professional content!
Yeah, Fv17 is simple incredible. It is just hard to belive how much beauty is put into one place. And no matter where you turn, there is a new postcard place. I had hours of footage from there, but it comes to a place where it becomes repetitive. I can't wait to go up there again, but then cover more of Andøya, Senja and the trip up to the Cape. Thank you for the compliment. Much more to come 🎥
@@tshansen I never have seen the island of Senja. I hope, this june i will see it. I've seen a lot of videos and read the most beautiful things about that island. Thanks again for your great content.
Wow! 🔥 Mektig imponert! Nydelig video, føler virkelig ein er med på tur. Du får virkelig vist Norge fra si beste side. Klipp, musikk og storytelling, 10 av 10! 🙌Perfekt å nyte morgenkaffen ein lørdag til videoer som dette! 😁☕
Thank you very much for the great film, Thomas. He has brought back many memories of my 2024 Norway tour, since I was also on the "17". Best regards Claudius
Great vid TS. Wonderful views of an enchanting country. Yes traveling with a friend of same interests is a great experience. I had the pleasure of doing that in my life. My as I called him, "my motorcycle daddy" was a lot of fun. Glad you had time with your brother. I have never got to experience that with mine. A generation apart in age. Take it as it comes. All in stride. You are young. There will be more opportunities to go to North Cape. This will give you the desire to complete the journey even more.. I might see you there. Next time. All good from east Kentucky USA. Sometimes I carry a tire.
Thank you good sir! Always nice to see you in the comments mate. It enhances the experience in so many ways for me, but that is probably because I have not done it for a while. Got so used to travel alone I kinda forgot. But not many people enjoy that I spend so much time filming, that take some of the riding fun out of it for them. A generation apart in age can be both good and bad I guess... so much to learn when you have really older brothers. I have one goal, set.... going trough America on a bike when I'm 50 That is 8 years from now. And I really want to spend a year on the road over there. But will see. Keep on rocking mate, let's make 2025 even better. Cheers
@tshansen I may not be around then but you can use my place as a hub for scouting the mountains in the southeast of USA. It is incredibly expensive now and will only get more so. I'm going to build a traveler friendly cabin for just that. Grandson rides he should be around.
Thank you so much... well, I'm sure he would love to switch seats with me some parts of that trip, because the lightweight bike is no comfort machine, that Is for sure 😂
Thank you, it was such a great trip, and really nice to adventure on with my brother. Hope to do more of that in the years to come. He is moving closer to where I live now. Cheers
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it 🤩 My taste in footage has proven to be really beneficial to my way of filming. I'm really just looking for those magical moments when out riding. Cheers
Great video, Thomas!! 🫶🏻 Hopefully my ‘going north’-plan comes true this summer. Wonderful to see you’re having such a good time with your brother!! Knoll og Tott?
Thank you Tor. I really hope to get up there as well again this year, to continue what I just started. Haha, we are definitely Knoll and Tott 😂 or more Pompel and Pilt? 😆
Thank you Hestad. Lofoten is world class. Simply put. Just little that can beat it from a Norwegian perspective. Yeah, there was some insane amount of rain and sleet on this trip, but that is part of traveling in Norway. 😂
This was a great video. Not only the images and the droneshots, but also the companionship with your brother. This makes the trip even better. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Thank you so much sir. Really appreciate it. Yeah, this trip truly did something with me. To ride with others and get that extra dynamic makes for better stories and moments captured. You might see much more of this going forward. 🙏🏻
Wow, wow what an adventure and stunning views, I travelled the same road in september 2023 all the way to Nordkapp but I wasn't as lucky with the weather
Very good video. Excellent content. You were lucky with the weather in Lofoten. (3.22 minutter inne i videoen, er Mære kirke. Jeg var døpt der. Trivelig å se.) Greetings from west coast Canada.
Thank you sir. Yeah, but the weather changed quickly and I did have a couple days with pouring rain. Not much to film when the weather is like that. Aaahhh... nice. Really liked the church laying on that little hill with the beautiful soundings. I'm not a religious person, but churches has always fascinated me. So you have moved to Canada and live there? What a dream. Cheers
Blimey Thomas...what a superb film 🎥! Stunning scenery, stunning roads, and lovely filming and editing too. Great to meet up with your brother. Thanks for sharing the ride!. I, and I'm sure many others will be aching to set off on our trips after watching this. Cheers, Steve 💚
Haha that is a word I don't hear every day 😂 Than you so much Stephen. So glad you enjoyed this 🔥 If I can inspire one person for every video I make, I'm on the route to success 🙌🏻 Imagine the power in that. Just unbelievable 🤩
The north seams something like nothing else definitely on my bucket list 🤩 Like you mentioned Thomas share something like this with someone how share the same passion should lift it up to the next level 🏍️😎 And the film 👌beautiful footage thanks for sharing and see you at adv expo in march.
It is absolutely crazy up there. Not much gravel, but more scenic roads than you can ever imagine. Sharing with someone who loves the same stuff is just that extra level of enjoyment. One thing is to ride, or share similar interest, but when you tick all the boxes.. Something strange happens. And it is really addictive, at least for me. Glad you liked the video mate. And yes.... we talk more at the expo. Booked the planed tickets yesterday 🤩
Another great video! As a younger brother, it’s funny to recognize the goofing off for the older brother… haha… I admire your guys’ relationship and friendship - I don’t have that at all with mine - good for you!
Glad you enjoyed it and haha me and my brother has a good relationship. Yes sometimes we want to go at it with each other as well, so it's not all sunshine and rainbows. But I think that is all part of being brothers.
Great video. Was at Saltstraumen and Lofoten with my dog in my car in september. Great area!. So far the most beautiful i have seen in Norway. (Wish the video was longer😒)
Thank you mate. I really need to go back and experience Saltstraumen the proper way. It is a show of its own, and I really want to try diving there as well. Well, I had a ton of footage more, but it got to a part where it just become repetitive and not much story, more me and my brother together, and yes. I just feel it did not fit in.
Wow Thomas! this film arouses my desire for adventure very much and to try to film better and be able to tell a story. that's it, thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏼😊
Thank you Wikstrøm 🙌🏻 Really glad you enjoyed this. Really looking forward to a new year and new adventures my self. Nice to edit stuff like this in the winter time 🤩
Nåkk et mesterverk av en film fra deg Thomas!!!👏👏👏😊🤩😊 Koselig å se du tok turen nordover i landet😊Stor hilsning fra din navnebror Thomas fra Helgeland,Nesna😊✌️😊
Takk for det Thomas 🙌🏻 Jeg hadde virkelig lyst lengre Nord, men det hadde blitt mange mil og lite stopp i et område jeg vet jeg vil bruke mer tid. Neste gang skal jeg opp å filme Andøya, Senja og rundt Tromsø. Så får vi se om jeg kommer meg helt øst i landet også 🤩
Hey Tom... good to see you back on screen. - I case you need a mate for traveling Nordkapp, I would be ready... I love camping, roadside life and I will say I am in full appreciation of any detail such trip would reveal... but I just happen to be having a heavy on-road-bike.. maybe that would be a no-go for you... otherwise, let me know (I'ld just need about 1 week to mobilize coming from far away).
Thank you sir. Appreciate that. I actually got a question about this from another viewer as well, if I ever consider arranging a trip for a lucky few going up or trough Norway in a way. I never considered it much, because I'm kinda a loner. But It might not be a bad idea. Yes, there is always some challenges with group rides. the chemistry between the people and what not. But if you don't travel for too long, there might be something that could be a valuable part of the motorcycle life going forward. I need to plan this out and see if it could be realistic. Thank you! 🙌🏻
@@tshansen That's alright - me too, i.e., I am a lone rider for obvious reasons. However, if there was anyone matching my interest and preferred way of motorcycle-riding, I would not mind it either.
Thank you kindly... hmm Paul Skram? any chance you know more or have more info about this? I have been searching the family tree for ages and trying to figure out where we still have relatives.
Thanks for that Thomas, I enjoyed watching this a great deal. Such journeys provide pure medicine to the sole. Norway is very much on my list to visit. What time of year do you recommend?
@ I will be heading over from the UK, and would like to spend around 10 days over there exploring, so the part of Norway I’ll visit will depend on how far I can travel within that time frame. Think I’ll start planning now. Thanks for your help 🙏
Thank you so much Adam 🤩 can't get over the time I met you on the side of the road when filming and you picked up that bike. What are the odds 😂 Will make sure to say hello to Jonas from you. Hope all is good. Cheers 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Tony 🙌🏻 Yeah, the Northern Regions of Norway is something of a different world. Such a wonderful place to travel if you are lucky with the weather 😆 No up here is none! only tarmac.
There is an interesting and admirable consistency in your videos and something I completely relate too. At approx 34mins in this video your comments are so true...I have yet to find a riding buddy who fits what you very well described. Someone who is safe and can ride equally like myself, has the patience, interest in photography and searches for an experience or adventure from nothing. Maybe one day haha...nice job again
Thank you Bri... 🙏🏻 I'm always trying to become a little bit better or more skilled between every video. spend much time learning this craft. And it is cool to see that people notice that there is an ongoing process and still love what I do. To check all the boxes, like someone who really enjoy all the same aspects is damn hard and almost impossible. But when I find them, I will ride with them more, that is certain. Cheers mate, have a good one! 🙌🏻
Ahh what an amazing video from start to end! Laughed at how cheeky you and your brother were. Don't people complain about you guys sleeping where you did? I came down that coast last summer on my bike after seeing Nordkapp, stood where you were, did the same Henningsvaer drone shot, etc. brings back great memories and makes me want to go back again! But first, in a few weeks we'll visit Tromsø in winter, should be fun as well! Thanks for the nice video again, that was a good watch, made me smile! 👍🏻👍🏻
A Tjommi production. Only 5:43 min into the video and I get into a chill ADV mood. I know what it means with keeping motivation when the weather gods challenge You. ...now i need to concentrate on the vid. 💪🤠🔥
I definitely agree on that camping (at Official campings) adds to a journey in the way You take it. You always make new connections, contact and sometimes even friends for life. I do that alot with my van and have done it on moto travels. But the last year i have actively searched for solitude on my trips, this gives my a journey of my inside or beeing that i can't get myself in the everyday life. But this summer Tjommi, we will camp together in a new part of Europe for us two. Bet we will habe fun and really bond with new and old friends on the Trails! This is wonderful my friend and Lofoten is something vwry special, i loved the light. The hike up ti the top Reinebringen was stunning the solitude with my dog Ezza sitting on the beach looking North at midnightsun on the island Andøya ... know i will go back 🍺🍺🍺
Thank you so much Tjommi... yeah the camping this time was really rewarding. Every where you go there was some, not crowded like normal, but enough to have a good laugh, good talk and even inside the toilet building when shit shower and shave it was a lot of laughs and great moments 😂 I'm going up here more as well, do some hiking, safari with boats, eat at some local restaurants and see more of the war history. It just takes way more time than I had. I kinda knew it, but I had to go anyway. But this is the best way to learn. And no matter what you travel with, you will alway go home with so much more. Can't wait for the Europe trip Tjommi... much happening in 2025 🔥
Hi Thomas Just watched and enjoyed your video, as always high quality. But damn it, I'm sure that an Ipad screen doesn't quite do justice to the fantastic views and nature. How different Norway is from Denmark and the southern Sweden I usually travel in, the closest I've seen that gave the feeling of being so small in the world was 12 years ago in Abisko and around Kebnekaise where you could see glaciers on mountains . Keep up the good work , let 2025 be a great season
Thank you so much Kim. Really glad you enjoyed it, even on a iPad screen. Those screens are pretty good 😆 Yeah, Sweden and Denmark don't come close to what nature is up here, but damn you got some other great things we don't have. Much more to come, more travels and more videos. Let's make 2025 even more memorable 🤩
WOW Thomas! What a beautiful & amazing video! This reminds me of those tourist advertisement videos promoting a Country but in an extended version. I've yet to find someone who promotes their own Country so well as you do, you're truly a great Norwegian ambassador of whom all Norwegian citizens should be proud! Every time I drop a coin into my piggy bank to buy my bike, it's another good reason why my trip to Norway and Nordkapp is the number one tour on my bucket list. Stay well & safe dear friend! 👍👍
Happy New Year Thomas. You really should be getting paid by the Norwegian tourist Board! This video will make a lot of people (including me) go and explore the country on two wheels
Happy new year mate, thank you for stopping by and enjoy my trip up north. Hope you are doing great 🙌🏻 I really hope more motorcyclists get their eyes up for what Norway has to offer. Cheers
There will always be competition between us Scandi's, who has the best football team, who has the strongest krone, who's king is the coolest, but Norway wipes all other scandinavian countries when it comes to stunning views and beautiful mountains. I need to go explore, just gotta remember my rain jacket ;-) Really nice film, great adventure, and good to meet your brother as well, solo rides is epic in it's own way, but it will always be more fun to share your ride with a friend or brother in this case. Thank you for the ride to beautiful Norway
Hahaha that is so true Daniel 😂 but we have to agree.... the Sweden king is THE king 😆 Even though, all countries has their own charm, the views is hold by Norway. I'm kinda blown away myself sometimes. Yeah, your latest balkan trips also remind me how important travel with friends is. I will always be a loner that enjoys solo travels, but sometimes. I need more company. Glad you liked it. See you soon 🙌🏻
This video screams adventure. It shows that you had a lot of fun and the editing and music selection is nothing but brilliant. I'm always happy when I see one of your videos coming up. Keep them coming Thomas and ride safe.
Thank you so much for the compliments. And yes, it is safe to say that I truly enjoy this, not only the riding and adventure, but to sit down and share the story afterwords is just as rewarding. 🙏🏻 Much more to come 🤩
WOW WOW WOW!!! And to have the chance to ride with your brother as well. No richer men have ever lived!!
I could not agree more. Money can't buy you this, and nothing fuels me more with energy than adventures like this 🙌🏻🔥
Very enjoyable. Found myself smiling all the way through the video and also taking notes since I am planning a motorcycle trip to Lofoten and Nordkapp in 2025. In 2023 I was in south of Norway and one of the most enjoyable places I went to was thanks to you as you have recommended them in your earlier videos. Videos like this help us through the winter season. Thank you for what you do!
Glad you enjoyed it. The coast road up north is just magical and worth every single mile of tarmac to ride. Always nice to bring some summer memories into the cold ass winter 😂🙌🏻 Soon, new season again.
What a wonderful job you've done. OMG. I was unable to skip the video even for a sec. The filming, editing, drone shots, your pieces of advice... Everything was worth watching. Lots of love and respect from Pakistan
Thank you so much sir 🙏🏻 Really appreciate it. So nice to hear my video have reach all the way to Pakistan
You certainly know how to make a very professional and enjoyable video tshansen. I love it when your videos flag up on my subscriber list..thank you.
I appreciate that! and thank you so much 🙌🏻 Really glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Your best video yet! Just watched it after the one on music in your films. It really shows the amount of work and effort you put into these videos. Thanks so much .
Thank you, appreciate that. Yeah, there is some thought and polish in this productions, but that is why I find it so fun and rewarding to do. Always nice when others enjoy the videos I put out. Cheers ☕️
Phenomenal video again. My first trip to Nordkapp was with my Dad. We visited Å on Lofoten where we were given free accomodation by a complete stranger who we are still friends with today. On that trip we carried on to Russia and visited Murmansk before heading home to Scotland. This year I am planning on returning to Norway. I'll be accompanied by a group of mates and my Dad once again. He's planning on revisiting Nordkapp but I'm skipping it in favour of Senja before we all regroup on Lofoten. I've sent them all your video. Thanks Thomas.
Mike.
That sounds like quite an adventure! Never been to Russia myself, but would love to see more of that also, but that have to wait I guess 🙈 cool with those friendships that comes out to great hospitality 👏🏻 This is what adventure is all about! I hope to go up there again this year as well 🙏🏻🔥 cheers
@tshansen Will keep a look out for you! We are heading up in August.
I went from Stockholm to Nordkapp two years ago and to Lofoten last year. Was thinking about riding south this summer but I need to get back north! There’s nothing like it. Thanks for the inspiration! ❤
I second that... there is just something about the Northern parts that you don't find anywhere else. I can't wait to get back up there myself. 🙏🏻
Dette bragte mange minner tilbake, herlig å se igjen Lofoten gjennom dine kameraøyne 🤩 Har vært der oppe både sommer og vinter, og er mitt hjertet nært. Morro å se igjen Sakrisøy og omegn igjen hvor vi var på tur sist. Som alltid kjempekvalitet på håndarbeidet, virkelig hyggelig å se dere to sammen på tur også. Ha en fin søndag Thomas, håper den er god. Ser frem til vår og tørre veier nå vil jeg tro 😊
Man Norway is beautiful. You continue to capture its beauty and do an incredible job of presenting it for us. I spent a few days in Bergen a few years ago and can't wait to return!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the compliment. Bergen, my home town is also a great place to visit. Some parts of the west here is just amazing.
great video! you are blessed in your fantastic beautiful country and so completely with your brother on the road.🙂Norway is so beautiful. thanks for sharing your trips, you keep surprising. Wish you many safe kilometers🍀
Thank you for tuning in and really glad you enjoyed it. I hope to have many more trips like this in the upcoming years 🙌🏻
Nice video, well edited, beautiful landscapes. Bravo!
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻 Glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Hey Thomas, loved this so much. It was so nice to see your relationship with your brother. Great work & look forward to seeing more. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it sir. I really enjoyed this trip. Had some really good days with him up in the norths. Much more to come in 2025, and there might be some others I will travel with as well. Who knows 🤩
Another brilliant adventure that's been brilliantly presented.
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it, also glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻
Great to see you back to your best, perfect touring mix of static, riding, camping and drone use but then you do have the best country in the world for scenery. It's now 10 years since my first of 4 trips from uk and I am pretty sure those would be the same roads I rode that I now miss and wish I could make a fith trip. Had details of one trip published in Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine here in uk but I could never explain the reason for those repeat trips as well as this video. I used the Bognes Lodingen ferry and my first wild camp was 20 miles north of the famous Nordland Arch when the new visitor centre was being built. Midnight run in daylight passing the Nordkapp Centre being a highlight
Looking forward to see where you travel in 2025, stay safe and best wishes, thanks for posting.
That is so incredible to read. It is such a honor to make memories like this come alive trough my own videos. So nice to hear how others have visit and explored my country. And it is all in the sense of great adventures and many experiences richer. I'm going up here more often, that is just the way it has to be. So much more to explore and so many fantastic small places I want to try more of the food, meet the people and see more of the non touristy areas. 🙌🏻 Cheers
Amazing video....as always. Countdown to spring has started. Really looking 4ward 2 riding my bikes again. :-)
Yeah, I'm like this every winter, it is good to park at the end of the season, get a little break, and then you get that feeling, damn I want to go ride again! And it has never been worse. Can't wait for the new season 🙌🏻
No words, absolutly stunning. Once more a video which leave my mouth open. Thanks a lot Thomas for your efforts and your nice video.
Thank you Klaus, really glad you liked it. Nothing motivates me more to be honest. Can't wait to get back up there and explore more of the beauty that region got to offer. 🤩
Unbelievable views with your drone. The shot with the bridge and the gletjer was so beatifull. Thanks!!
Thank you Hans. Really glad you liked it. The drone shots puts a little bit extra on the top when it comes to the viewing experience 🙌🏻
Good morning Thomas. Breakfast with a good cup of coffee and your new video. Simply incredible what you do again, great pictures, music and your comments. And I agree with you: you have to take time for family and friends, more time! I hope you have a nice weekend and may the motorcycle season finally begin. Greetings Frank
Good morning mate. I'm enjoying a good cup of coffee as well, answering the many comments and prise for this video. Really glad people enjoyed it. I try to spend extra time on the story both visual and telling, or try to be better at it. And for me music is such an important part of that. And since I have had some struggles lately (with nightmares and stuff) I started to look within, search for answers and what is missing in my life. And there is no doubt I need to spend more time with friends, family and the ones that means most to me. So you might end up seeing other people in my videos as well going forward 😇 Cheers
Thank you for posting this wonderful film TSHansen. This has helped me get through another awful English winter. Please keep doing what you do. May the road rise with you. Love and respect from London, England.
You're very welcome 🤩 I have plans in stopping anytime soon, and I really look forward to every new project I'm working on. Much more to come 🎥
Beautiful video again. I always enjoy your content, whether it's something at your cabin or when you've been on the road. You manage to make it into a captivating journey.
I use your videos to inspire my own trips to Norway and will be doing so with this one as well. Thank you!
That is nice of you to tell me, thank you so much, really appreciate that. Much more to come 🎥
What a journey! Your ability to capture the moment of adventure is amazing. The mix of bike, landscape, details and top-drone-footage is brilliant.
I visited Norway this summer, by car and tent, and not a single mosquito in sight! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it mate 🙏🏻 always nice when you're able to waken the adventure sense in someone else. That is such a huge compliment. Hahah, no mosquito in Norway? That is pure luck or winter time 😂 Are you coming to the Adventure Expo in march? In stockholm?
Oh man, I just get butterflies looking at this longing for summer and finally doing that bucketlist ride to the Lofoten to shoot amazing photos and enjoy amazing roads. Thanks for the amazing video, great edit. Still loving the feel and flow of your stories.
Thank you sir, really appreciate the nice comment. So glad you liked the video 🙏🏻
What an amazing video. I relived my own journey almost two years ago by watching your video with the same intensity as when I rode my bike there. Excellent production and editing! Beautiful! Just beautiful!
Thank you mate, really appreciate this nice comment. Always glad when others can dip into great memories from their own trips trough my productions. It is an insanely beautiful region this. Cheers 🙏🏻
Ich habe dein Video bis zum Schluss sprachlos angesehen. Ich muss unbedingt auch in Norwegen mit dem Motorrad fahren.
Großes Kompliment für dein Video!
Ohh, vielen Dank für die Liebe und Unterstützung. Das bedeutet mir sehr viel 🙏🏻
Another great one, mate! This one made me long for my own motorcycle camping adventure.
Why you don't have a Silver.....heck, a GOLD PLAY button is beyond me. Some of the best story telling right here on your channel.
Cheers!
Thank you sir, I saw you had a good time at the stand as well. Really cool that you had such a big stand at the show 🙌🏻 Well, maybe one day, but my goal is to have fun and take care of my core audience 🙌🏻 for me it it has never been about the numbers 🎥 More to come mate, much more ☕️
Vakkert Thomas! Flotte bilder, og hyggelig gjensyn med mitt "höga norr"! 💪😊
Takk for det Geir. Veldig hyggelig å høre. Ja fy flate for et område. Herre min hatt, jeg blir å dra mye opp igjen her i tiden framover.
@ Lofoten på sommeren, juli/august er et mareritt i bobiler og campingvogner. Har vært en del i Lofoten. Var der sist sommeren 2018 på MC. Ferga fra Bodø va smekk full, og vel fremme i Moskenes, og dalstrøka innaførr, va et like stort mareritt. Hadde tenkt å være i Lofoten et par dager, men ga det opp, og sa; «aldri mer» 😊 Vesterålen og Senja er fortsatt levelig, men det har tatt seg opp der også trafikkmessig på høysommer.
God helg!
Absolutely stunning scenery, thanks for sharing with us, I’ll have to start saving up for a trip to Norway , ship my bike to Norway from Ireland would probably be the best option and fly over 🫡
Thank you mate, and really glad you liked it. Yeah, renting a bike here is probably a good or better option. Not sure what shipping a bike would cost to be honest.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!! 💙
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it sir 🙌🏻
😮bel cavalcare,territorio magnific. Dai coraggio a questi sogni.grazie.😊
Thank you 🙏🏻
Incredible scenery and videography mate, always enjoy getting the notice that you have a new video out.
Glad you enjoyed it mate, always great when video makers like yourself take notice in my videos 🙏🏻 The admirations goes both ways mate 🙌🏻
Another great trip, Thomas! You've quickly jumped up to top of the list of my favorite motorcycle trip/camping channels on YT. I enjoy your calm narration, your chill demeanor, and fantastic ability to edit. What beautiful country Norway is; I caught myself so many times just shaking my head in awe of the sheer beauty of those fjords. Hopefully one day I get to make it over there for a trip of my own. Until then, though, I will continue to daydream through your incredible videos. Cheers from Alabama!
Wow, thanks! That is such a huge compliment and thank you so much for telling me. As you probably have seen, this is my number one passion. I just love to get out there, experience all this and try to share a story trough my eyes. That so many people enjoy it, is not only hard to understand, but a tru testament that this is important to continue doing. Thank you, and I really hope you one day have the possibility to visit Norway and see it with your own eyes. 🙏🏻
This is an absolute masterpiece of a movie and I loved every bit of it. You have outdone yourself this time Thomas!!
Thank you so much Henrik 🙌🏻 Really appreciate the nice comment. 🙏🏻
😮😮😮Whipped cream for cinnamon bun, a real misstep 😉. I've seen and tried that once in Rohdos, I'm never ever gonna do that again. That ruins every good cinnamon bun. Fortunately its free to do what you want. 😊 Awesome video as usual Tomas. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hahaha I thought so as well, but damn was I corrected in the best possible way. This buns was a level up with cream 🤌🏻 Absolutely amazing. Glad you enjoyed the video mate 😂
Northern Norway - forever my favourite place on earth, and you really did it justice 😍 Well done!
Thank you Runa... you know a thing or two about filming? Maybe you should join in next time we are heading North? 🤩🎥
That would be a great video to watch. You are both great ambassadors for your beautiful country.
@@tshansen who knows, if the timing is right I might tag along 👏
Congrats on a fantastic journey and amusing story telling. Your bro is quite the character as well as a solid riding buddy
Haha... yeah we have both some sort of letters in our chart I think. Normal is something we try to stay away from, that is certain 😂 Glad you enjoyed this video mate. Cheers ☕️
Fabulous video Thomas! Superb shooting and editing , stunning scenery captured so well. Thanks for taking us on your adventure 👍👏👏👏
Really glad you enjoyed it Dave 🤩 Makes me happy and motivated to do more when you know how well received it is. Appreciate it 🙌🏻
Så himla fint landskap, och så snyggt filmat som vanligt! man blir väldigt inspirerad!
Takk, veldig hyggelig å høre. Ja, Nord-Norge viser helt klart Norge fra sin beste side. Helt magisk her oppe.
Maravilloso.. Sueños por cumplir algún día.. Buen trabajo..
Thank you so much 🙌🏻
Hei Tomas !! Videoene dine er så bra laget at de kan vises på NRK i samme kategori som Monsens villmark program … gleder meg til vær video!! 👍🏻😊
Heisann Kjell... Det er vel kanskje et av de største komplimentene jeg har fått tror jeg 😆 Tusen takk og virkelig hyggelig å bli sammenlignet med selveste selveste 🙏🏻
Made the jouney alone in 2023. From Lindesness fir to Sletness fir via, de coast, Bodo, Lofoten, Senja, on to the Northcap and than back home via Finland Estonia, Letland, Lithouania, Polen and Germany. I never had a journey like this and am gratefull I was granted to do it. Hope to do it again with friends. But what magnificent trip it was. Thanks for charing a lot of familiar views and scenery. O jeah, like you I had my ordeal in bad weather and even a blizzard arriving on the Lofoten. See you on the road!!
I had a similar adventure back in 2016. Glad you liked this one, and there will be much more to come 🎥
Hello Thomas, what an adventure! Lofoten is a special place, for sure. Climbing up to Reinebringen was a pain, but the view is breathtaking! So many memories comes to mind watching your amazing videos. Cheers!
Thank you Vitor, so glad you enjoyed it. Haha, I can only imagine when I saw the stairs. I have not gone up there myself yet, but I hope to go back and do it in the upcoming years. 🙏🏻
Hello! Thanks for sharing so many awesome nature shots of your adventure trip. I can imagine that you really did appreciate the sunny days, but also it's good that you helped us to be aware of and flexible with weather changes. What a great video - love the drone shots.😊🌻
Hello Linda. Thank you so much for the nice comment. I really enjoyed this trip, I hope that shows. It is just something special with being out traveling, get to know new people, see new or old places with fresh perspective. Yeah, in the northern parts of Norway you really need to be prepared for the worst. And the distances is huge up there, so you can risk getting stuck for a couple of days with strong winds and rain.
Thank you very much for your video. Your pictures take me back to places I used to cycle and bring back good memories. Great.
Damn, that is impressive. Bicycle up here? how did you cope with the wind that is or almost always present 🙈 I had a talk with two who was cycling up to north cape in camp one night. And they had some struggle with all the hills.
I took the same route for the best part in 2022, had an overnighter at Forvik Handelskontoret (but the coffee was not as hailed and praised by some people who had injected the idea to go and try it). The route is fabulous... intending to return this year - hopefully - to spend more time in Helgeland... an ultimate pearl !
Hahaha.... the coffee some places here can be a video in it self. Some are good, most are not 😂 The route is absolutely amazing, and with so many small diversion you can take in all direction ending up at small villages or just a scenic spot. Will make a lot of effort to go up there again this year as well. 🤩
OMG what a trip! Especially the outside sleeping and the company of your brother makes me really feeling the adventure. Please realize you have a true gift for that in your films. Happy to see he rides a crf300l Rally🤩 a bike I am considering for a while now. Any opinions? Love the T7 sound in this film as well and the good choice for music. Another piece of art Thomas, thanks for creating this👌🔥
Thank you Ricard 🙌🏻 Yeah, sleeping under the star like this and just find an open spot is probably something I would not do alone. It is much easier when you are two? Not that it's not allowed, but you don't want to bother anyone when you are alone the same way. It is unbelievable how much easier it is to create dynamic and moving shots when you are two. And he enjoy being filmed so it is really easy to tell him what to do and he understands and make a great compliment to some of the shots. I have not tried the bike myself, but I know he complain about a stiff ass, and on some of the clips, it sounded like something was loose on that bike 😂 Really glad you liked it. It was hard to make this a story, had way to much content that was only relative to me and my brother. Cheers ☕️
I look forward to all your new videos ....this one was well worth the wait !
Your such a fantastic story teller and film maker...
Keep up the good work we all enjoy.....
👍🥃
Thank you sir, really appreciate that. I'm trying to perfect the craft every now and then, and this video was a little bit different from what I'm used to, but nice to hear it was good. Cheers 🙏🏻
as always a great video showing a gorgeous norway both in the beauty of the sunshine and the difficulty of the bad weather, but the company this time gave you something extra.
One particular note is where you slept near a hotel, a terrace by the sea, if we do that here we get arrested for vagrancy 😀
You could risk getting told off here as well, but as long as you behave, don't disturb anyone and explain the people who might be offended, you can get away with it. It is a risk we were willing to take, since all the camping spots in miles around was occupied by huge camper vans.
Quel belle balade ces paysages magnifique que vous avez chez vous merci pour ce partage ✌🤩
Thank you so much 🙌🏻
Bravo Thomas. Amazing video as always. It never fails to watch our beautiful country in full display.
I would almost recommend a drinking game for this video. Everytime you took a ferry you would have a drink 😅😅
Takk Stian 🙏🏻 Always nice to hear the videos are worth watching. There is always a slikt feel of doubt in front of each production 😂 Haha a drinking game for every ferry and every time I passed a camper van 🙈 I have so much footage of that 😆
Fv17. One of the greatest roads i've ever seen. I drove it in 2017. Also went to Lofoten and the North Cape. A great ride. Hopefully i can repeat that trip in June this year. Thanks for your great video. Always a joy to watch your professional content!
Yeah, Fv17 is simple incredible. It is just hard to belive how much beauty is put into one place. And no matter where you turn, there is a new postcard place. I had hours of footage from there, but it comes to a place where it becomes repetitive. I can't wait to go up there again, but then cover more of Andøya, Senja and the trip up to the Cape. Thank you for the compliment. Much more to come 🎥
@@tshansen I never have seen the island of Senja. I hope, this june i will see it. I've seen a lot of videos and read the most beautiful things about that island.
Thanks again for your great content.
Wow! 🔥 Mektig imponert! Nydelig video, føler virkelig ein er med på tur. Du får virkelig vist Norge fra si beste side. Klipp, musikk og storytelling, 10 av 10! 🙌Perfekt å nyte morgenkaffen ein lørdag til videoer som dette! 😁☕
Takk for det Terje, veldig hyggelig å høre. Ingen ting gleder meg mer enn å motivere andre til å ha lyst å kjøre på eventyr selv. 🙌🏻
Spectacular Thomas 👏👏👏👏 good to see you back on the road mate. Norway is gods gift to motorcycling.
Thank you Paul. And yes I agree.... Norway is just something else on two wheels. I think I need to do more trips up north in the upcoming years.
Norway looks stunning! WOW! 😮
It truly is, a must see place at least once I think 🙌🏻
@@tshansen Definitely on my bucket list!
🌍🛵🗻Thanks for a great video!
Thank you very much for the great film, Thomas. He has brought back many memories of my 2024 Norway tour, since I was also on the "17". Best regards Claudius
You are welcome my friend 🙏🏻 The 17 is such an impressive road with so much to see. Can't wait to get up there again 🤩
Really loved this one dude. Need to bring your brother on more adventures!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 Yeah, hopefully we will do more adventures together in the future 🔥
It was worth waiting, man!! one of the best of your videos! come on, give us more motivation before next season :D
Thank you, glad to hear this 🙌🏻 Nice to hear this video is appreciated, I will try to do more in this style going forward. 🙏🏻
Great to see your rides ,looking forward to many more to come, ride safe and cheers from Australia
Thanks 👍 glad you enjoyed it. Much more to come in 2025 🙏🏻
Great vid TS. Wonderful views of an enchanting country. Yes traveling with a friend of same interests is a great experience. I had the pleasure of doing that in my life. My as I called him, "my motorcycle daddy" was a lot of fun. Glad you had time with your brother. I have never got to experience that with mine. A generation apart in age. Take it as it comes. All in stride. You are young. There will be more opportunities to go to North Cape. This will give you the desire to complete the journey even more.. I might see you there. Next time. All good from east Kentucky USA. Sometimes I carry a tire.
Thank you good sir! Always nice to see you in the comments mate. It enhances the experience in so many ways for me, but that is probably because I have not done it for a while. Got so used to travel alone I kinda forgot. But not many people enjoy that I spend so much time filming, that take some of the riding fun out of it for them. A generation apart in age can be both good and bad I guess... so much to learn when you have really older brothers. I have one goal, set.... going trough America on a bike when I'm 50 That is 8 years from now. And I really want to spend a year on the road over there. But will see. Keep on rocking mate, let's make 2025 even better. Cheers
@tshansen I may not be around then but you can use my place as a hub for scouting the mountains in the southeast of USA. It is incredibly expensive now and will only get more so. I'm going to build a traveler friendly cabin for just that. Grandson rides he should be around.
The person you travel with may need to do the same. Photo and record. Makes the stops and effort a common goal and desire. Same amount of time.
Another amazing production Thomas, how cool to ride and share with your Brother and he has the cooler Lightweight Adventure Bike too 😉😂❤
Thank you so much... well, I'm sure he would love to switch seats with me some parts of that trip, because the lightweight bike is no comfort machine, that Is for sure 😂
Takk for nok en flott video og drammen var vel fortjent.
Ser fram til neste 👍👍🏍
Veldig hyggelig å høre du likte den, og drammen var ikke bare god, den var langt over gjennomsnittet. Tusen takk, nok en gang 🤩🔥
When you think it couldn’t get any better, it still gets! Amazing video once again. Now i want to take my bike to Norway 😉
Haha, that is such a compliment, thank you so much sir 🙌🏻 Nothing makes me smile more than to influence others to get over here and ride themself. 🤩
What a ride. Unbelievable. Looks like really big fun for both of you big boys, great to see. Enjoy family band. Thats how it shall be.
Thank you, it was such a great trip, and really nice to adventure on with my brother. Hope to do more of that in the years to come. He is moving closer to where I live now. Cheers
@tshansen Lucky guys. Happy for you.
You are amazing and your creation of how you can narrate the shots is great!
Thank you so much, really glad you liked it 🤩 My taste in footage has proven to be really beneficial to my way of filming. I'm really just looking for those magical moments when out riding. Cheers
Very nice video. Great camera editing with lots of variety. 👍
Thank you very much Joe. Really glad you liked it 🙌🏻
This video is a perfect endorfin booster to keep surviving winter, while waiting for another motorcycle trip;)
Perfect for a Sunday ☕
It was quite nice to work with the footage as well... can't wait for a new season with even more adventures 🤩
Great video, Thomas!! 🫶🏻
Hopefully my ‘going north’-plan comes true this summer.
Wonderful to see you’re having such a good time with your brother!! Knoll og Tott?
Thank you Tor. I really hope to get up there as well again this year, to continue what I just started. Haha, we are definitely Knoll and Tott 😂 or more Pompel and Pilt? 😆
Absolutely fantastic video.,....as always. Keep em coming ❤
Thank you! Will do! 🙌🏻 much more to come, and even more travels down south as well.
Wow, what a great video 😍 Lofoten is just fantastic! The weather you had part of the trip though, ugh 😖
Thank you Hestad. Lofoten is world class. Simply put. Just little that can beat it from a Norwegian perspective. Yeah, there was some insane amount of rain and sleet on this trip, but that is part of traveling in Norway. 😂
This was a great video. Not only the images and the droneshots, but also the companionship with your brother. This makes the trip even better. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍
Thank you so much sir. Really appreciate it. Yeah, this trip truly did something with me. To ride with others and get that extra dynamic makes for better stories and moments captured. You might see much more of this going forward. 🙏🏻
Thank you Thomas !
You are welcome and so glad you enjoyed it 🤩
Vilken fantastisk film Thomas. Tack för att du delar med dig.
Takk for det, hyggelig at du likte filmen 🤩
Wow, wow what an adventure and stunning views, I travelled the same road in september 2023 all the way to Nordkapp but I wasn't as lucky with the weather
Thank you sir. Weather can really make or break the trip up here. I had some rain myself and it was pouring down like crazy.
Awesome video! Beautiful scenery for sure. Best!
Thank you very much! 🙌🏻
Very good video. Excellent content. You were lucky with the weather in Lofoten. (3.22 minutter inne i videoen, er Mære kirke. Jeg var døpt der. Trivelig å se.) Greetings from west coast Canada.
Thank you sir. Yeah, but the weather changed quickly and I did have a couple days with pouring rain. Not much to film when the weather is like that. Aaahhh... nice. Really liked the church laying on that little hill with the beautiful soundings. I'm not a religious person, but churches has always fascinated me. So you have moved to Canada and live there? What a dream. Cheers
Blimey Thomas...what a superb film 🎥! Stunning scenery, stunning roads, and lovely filming and editing too. Great to meet up with your brother. Thanks for sharing the ride!. I, and I'm sure many others will be aching to set off on our trips after watching this. Cheers, Steve 💚
Haha that is a word I don't hear every day 😂 Than you so much Stephen. So glad you enjoyed this 🔥 If I can inspire one person for every video I make, I'm on the route to success 🙌🏻 Imagine the power in that. Just unbelievable 🤩
The north seams something like nothing else definitely on my bucket list 🤩
Like you mentioned Thomas share something like this with someone how share the same passion should lift it up to the next level 🏍️😎
And the film 👌beautiful footage thanks for sharing and see you at adv expo in march.
It is absolutely crazy up there. Not much gravel, but more scenic roads than you can ever imagine. Sharing with someone who loves the same stuff is just that extra level of enjoyment. One thing is to ride, or share similar interest, but when you tick all the boxes.. Something strange happens. And it is really addictive, at least for me. Glad you liked the video mate. And yes.... we talk more at the expo. Booked the planed tickets yesterday 🤩
As always, stunning scenery and beautifully video edited. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much 🙌🏻
Äntligen!! Denna resa har jag väntat på att få se. Toppkvalitet som vanligt. Och vackert filmat/redigerat så att det nästan gör ont. 😉
Tjena Robin... Tack 🙏🏻 Veldig hyggelig å høre at du likte denne filmen også 🤩
Another great video! As a younger brother, it’s funny to recognize the goofing off for the older brother… haha… I admire your guys’ relationship and friendship - I don’t have that at all with mine - good for you!
Glad you enjoyed it and haha me and my brother has a good relationship. Yes sometimes we want to go at it with each other as well, so it's not all sunshine and rainbows. But I think that is all part of being brothers.
@ , that would make for interesting content also… haha…
Great video. Was at Saltstraumen and Lofoten with my dog in my car in september. Great area!. So far the most beautiful i have seen in Norway. (Wish the video was longer😒)
Thank you mate. I really need to go back and experience Saltstraumen the proper way. It is a show of its own, and I really want to try diving there as well. Well, I had a ton of footage more, but it got to a part where it just become repetitive and not much story, more me and my brother together, and yes. I just feel it did not fit in.
@tshansen are you alloved to dive at Saltstraumen??🤯😳😲😖
Wow Thomas! this film arouses my desire for adventure very much and to try to film better and be able to tell a story.
that's it, thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏼😊
Thank you Wikstrøm 🙌🏻 Really glad you enjoyed this. Really looking forward to a new year and new adventures my self. Nice to edit stuff like this in the winter time 🤩
Nåkk et mesterverk av en film fra deg Thomas!!!👏👏👏😊🤩😊 Koselig å se du tok turen nordover i landet😊Stor hilsning fra din navnebror Thomas fra Helgeland,Nesna😊✌️😊
Takk for det Thomas 🙌🏻 Jeg hadde virkelig lyst lengre Nord, men det hadde blitt mange mil og lite stopp i et område jeg vet jeg vil bruke mer tid. Neste gang skal jeg opp å filme Andøya, Senja og rundt Tromsø. Så får vi se om jeg kommer meg helt øst i landet også 🤩
Det var litt av en episode. Glimrende 👌👍🙂
Takker og bukker Stig 🙏🏻
@tshansen 👍
Hey Tom... good to see you back on screen. - I case you need a mate for traveling Nordkapp, I would be ready... I love camping, roadside life and I will say I am in full appreciation of any detail such trip would reveal... but I just happen to be having a heavy on-road-bike.. maybe that would be a no-go for you... otherwise, let me know (I'ld just need about 1 week to mobilize coming from far away).
Thank you sir. Appreciate that. I actually got a question about this from another viewer as well, if I ever consider arranging a trip for a lucky few going up or trough Norway in a way. I never considered it much, because I'm kinda a loner. But It might not be a bad idea. Yes, there is always some challenges with group rides. the chemistry between the people and what not. But if you don't travel for too long, there might be something that could be a valuable part of the motorcycle life going forward. I need to plan this out and see if it could be realistic. Thank you! 🙌🏻
@@tshansen That's alright - me too, i.e., I am a lone rider for obvious reasons. However, if there was anyone matching my interest and preferred way of motorcycle-riding, I would not mind it either.
Great video, awesome scenery 🤘
Thanks 👍 Really glad you enjoyed it 👏🏻
I enjoyed your time with your brother Thomas. Beautiful video. Paul Skram. (fellow Nøttveit descendant)
Thank you kindly... hmm Paul Skram? any chance you know more or have more info about this? I have been searching the family tree for ages and trying to figure out where we still have relatives.
Thanks for that Thomas, I enjoyed watching this a great deal. Such journeys provide pure medicine to the sole. Norway is very much on my list to visit. What time of year do you recommend?
My pleasure, really glad you enjoyed it. It depends on what part of Norway you want to visit, but I would say May until late September is good.
@ I will be heading over from the UK, and would like to spend around 10 days over there exploring, so the part of Norway I’ll visit will depend on how far I can travel within that time frame. Think I’ll start planning now. Thanks for your help 🙏
Make a long story short 😉 Amazing video as always Thomas . And that little rascal brother 😜of your . Cheers Thomas
Thank you so much Adam 🤩 can't get over the time I met you on the side of the road when filming and you picked up that bike. What are the odds 😂 Will make sure to say hello to Jonas from you. Hope all is good. Cheers 🙏🏻
Beautiful beautiful video Thomas, and stunning part of Norway😍 But not much gravel/off-road😉
Glad you enjoyed it Tony 🙌🏻 Yeah, the Northern Regions of Norway is something of a different world. Such a wonderful place to travel if you are lucky with the weather 😆 No up here is none! only tarmac.
There is an interesting and admirable consistency in your videos and something I completely relate too. At approx 34mins in this video your comments are so true...I have yet to find a riding buddy who fits what you very well described. Someone who is safe and can ride equally like myself, has the patience, interest in photography and searches for an experience or adventure from nothing. Maybe one day haha...nice job again
Thank you Bri... 🙏🏻 I'm always trying to become a little bit better or more skilled between every video. spend much time learning this craft. And it is cool to see that people notice that there is an ongoing process and still love what I do. To check all the boxes, like someone who really enjoy all the same aspects is damn hard and almost impossible. But when I find them, I will ride with them more, that is certain. Cheers mate, have a good one! 🙌🏻
@ if you head further south to Germany, the Alps or even the UK, then you have a riding buddy! 🤙🏻
@@sprockets_shafts I'm working hard for the lightweight festival in UK to happen this year
Ahh what an amazing video from start to end! Laughed at how cheeky you and your brother were. Don't people complain about you guys sleeping where you did?
I came down that coast last summer on my bike after seeing Nordkapp, stood where you were, did the same Henningsvaer drone shot, etc. brings back great memories and makes me want to go back again! But first, in a few weeks we'll visit Tromsø in winter, should be fun as well! Thanks for the nice video again, that was a good watch, made me smile! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you sir. No, as long as you leave no trace and behave people don't mind it. No one is using the spot anymore anyway.
Fantastisk video! 10 av 10⭐️⭐️
Tusen takk, veldig hyggelig å høre 🙏🏻
A Tjommi production. Only 5:43 min into the video and I get into a chill ADV mood. I know what it means with keeping motivation when the weather gods challenge You. ...now i need to concentrate on the vid. 💪🤠🔥
I definitely agree on that camping (at Official campings) adds to a journey in the way You take it. You always make new connections, contact and sometimes even friends for life. I do that alot with my van and have done it on moto travels. But the last year i have actively searched for solitude on my trips, this gives my a journey of my inside or beeing that i can't get myself in the everyday life. But this summer Tjommi, we will camp together in a new part of Europe for us two. Bet we will habe fun and really bond with new and old friends on the Trails! This is wonderful my friend and Lofoten is something vwry special, i loved the light. The hike up ti the top Reinebringen was stunning the solitude with my dog Ezza sitting on the beach looking North at midnightsun on the island Andøya ... know i will go back 🍺🍺🍺
Thank you so much Tjommi... yeah the camping this time was really rewarding. Every where you go there was some, not crowded like normal, but enough to have a good laugh, good talk and even inside the toilet building when shit shower and shave it was a lot of laughs and great moments 😂 I'm going up here more as well, do some hiking, safari with boats, eat at some local restaurants and see more of the war history. It just takes way more time than I had. I kinda knew it, but I had to go anyway. But this is the best way to learn. And no matter what you travel with, you will alway go home with so much more. Can't wait for the Europe trip Tjommi... much happening in 2025 🔥
Hi Thomas
Just watched and enjoyed your video, as always high quality.
But damn it, I'm sure that an Ipad screen doesn't quite do justice to the fantastic views and nature.
How different Norway is from Denmark and the southern Sweden I usually travel in, the closest I've seen that gave the feeling of being so small in the world was 12 years ago in Abisko and around Kebnekaise where you could see glaciers on mountains .
Keep up the good work , let 2025 be a great season
Thank you so much Kim. Really glad you enjoyed it, even on a iPad screen. Those screens are pretty good 😆 Yeah, Sweden and Denmark don't come close to what nature is up here, but damn you got some other great things we don't have. Much more to come, more travels and more videos. Let's make 2025 even more memorable 🤩
Wow, that gave me goosebumps. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it, and giving someone goosebumps is not an easy job. I take that as a huge compliment 🙏🏻 Thank you
Fantastic thank you for sharing skol 👌🇬🇧🤙
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻 Skål 🥃
