Oh Galore ! Haha , you said it 😊. Another good and honest video . Your ancestors did "reach out" to other Europeans 😅. The part of England where I was born used to be held by the Norsemen , there are many Viking placenames . And DNA ! Perhaps that's why I like riding in the wild and woolly north of Canada , which is very similar to Norway ( and lots of expat Norwegians live here too by the way ). You learn about motorcycle gear the hard way . But let me shorten the "learning curve " a little for you. Goretex - expensive but good . No need to pack and unpack rain gear . Ventilated is awesome . Electric heated jacket and gloves . Heated grips , Oxford are excellent . Waterproof boots , always . Comfort is everything and to be warm is to be safe ( quicker reflexes ). The coloured water is due to "glacial flour " , tiny rock particles suspended in the water which reflect light in various ways . As the water flow slows down , the particles sink and colour changes to a deeper green . It's very spectacular . Ride safe , ride far.
Takk for hyggelig kommentar, Eva! 🙏👍😊 Ja det blir fort 10-15 grader kaldere der oppe enn her nede i lavlandet. Men for en stemning! Jeg skal tilbake neste år, litt tidligere i sesongen 😁 👍
Fin video. Kan være lurt å investere i noen regn kler ja. Var selv der oppe for 2 uker siden å kjørte. Kjørte over slettefjellvegen og Jotunheimvegen(er bom betaling) og endte opp i vinstra. Og veien tilbake til beitostølen. Er gøy med litt spontan tur. Men kjipt når været ikke er med. Håper du fikk finere vær hjem👍👌
Min første tur var i 1979 gennem Tyskland, Schweiz og Frankrig til Monaco og tilbage. Bag på min GT550 var min kæreste og campingudstyret. Lidt regn på turen; men vi havde tøjet. I år blev det bare 9 dage i Harzen. Der var masser af regn hver anden dag. Jeg tænker på at tage en tur til Norge - måske når jeg bliver halvfjerds om få år. Jeg sover i telt, så vejrudsigten bestemmer destinationen. Fin video. Tak!
Brilliant video Thomas. Really enjoyed this. We've all made the same mistakes wearing the wrong biking clothes - it's all part of the learning experience! Keep up the great work! 👍
Thanks for showing Norway. I am from the Netherlands with a Tenere 700. I should go on a trip by bike. Wish I aslo had the mindset that it is oké not being fully prepared.
My pleasure and thank you for the nice comment! 🙏👍🙏 I was bogged down in planning and worries for a while. In the end I just went with what I had. It worked out 😁👍🏍️🎉 you can do it too!
Thank you for another great video, Thomas. I feel like I'm there with you. The scenery on your ride was so beautiful. That green water was something. As with your other videos, the music that accompanies the videos is excellent. Keep those videos coming - there are lots of us from many countries (in this case, the U.S.) who enjoy them.
Thanks again for sharing your adventure. Great soundtrack. It’s so inspiring to watch. I can’t wait until I can do the same where I am. I did just take the family on a four day tent camping trip to Lake Tahoe. Not on a bike obviously but it was grand and beautiful. Enjoying this beautiful planet God gave us is a blessing for sure!
Thank you for the nice comment! 🙏👍😊 Glad to hear you're inspired. Lake Tahoe has been a dream destination for me, ever since I saw that movie with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan hehe
I found your channel a few weeks ago. It was a video of you looking for a new bike. I honestly didn't think you would go for the Tenere. Great to see every place you take it. I have a Tenere myself, mostly for offroad, and it's awesome. But tomorrow i have a ride planned on a Tracer 9 GT. Really looking forward to see how they compare. If they are even comparable at all. Keep up your great video's!
Welcome aboard! 🙏👍😊 To be honest, the Tenere surprised me too. On that day I expected the Tracer7 or 9 to be my next bike. I felt the Tracer9 was a bit heavy and lacked legroom. Let me know what you think 👍 And thank you 🙏👍
Put some fuel in the tank, throw a bag on the bike and get the hell outa Dodge! Haha, nice to see you back on the road Thomas. It looks beautiful up there.
You should! That camping cabin (no wc or shower) was about 80 dollars. Hotel room is about 150. In that cafe the cheapest thing on the menu was soup 🍲 at about 20 dollars 😁
@@TalkTheRide BTW, today I got my first speeding ticket. We have Labor Day long weekend and highway patrol cars are swarming the streets in so called "maximum enforcement mode" I got lucky... In a way, as I was not going too fast at the moment and after nice little chat the officer wrote me minimum citation (lower speed than I was going), so, yeah. If not for maximum enforcement I would've ended up with a warning
