Thanks for this trip, It was a truly amazing adventure, As you said.. amazing trails, and my T7 never missed a beat and carried my fat ass 3200km. But It was all the guys involed that made the trip so special, a massive thanks to all of you. MEMORIES FOR LIFE 🤙
Great work! This has everything. Great trails, nature, fellowship, mishaps expertly put together with voice over. Not only a better rider, but a video maker as well. Thanks!
Again impressed, so I have to comment again :) Only thing I missed was a map showing where you are etc. If you are on a mac I have found the easiest way to do an animated track. Let me know if you want to know.
@@JohannesDalenMC I searched all over for a long time and all had so complicated workflows. Then I found this which was annoying because it was too simple but still good results. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pY6MPvVYvzg.html
Thank you for bringing us along the ride! Looks like you guys had a fantastic time. This has inspired me to one day embark on the Norwegian TET journey myself. 🏁
So fine Johannes! So fine. Wow. Sounds like you had a solid Team out there - connecting through mutual suffering and adventure. Nothing like it. Magic. And hey, I really appreciate the wrap up segment at the end. You tied it together nicely and left us with such good messages. Ride On!
Well done. I am totally flashed. I am so sorry for missing the trip and at the same time I am happy that you had such a great experience. I know I made the right decision to skip since I surely would have been the millestone around your neck but at the same time I am envious. Guess this needs to be repeated. All the best , Wolfgang
Well I'm a HD guy but I love all motorcycles. THAT WAS EPIC !! I just came across your channel actually and I'm happy to support you and other fellow motovloggers. I look forward to seeing and hearing more from your channel in the future. Keep up the great work and ride safe, out there ...
Duuude this is brilliant! I only 10min in, and I am hooked! I shall continue tomorrow :D So jealous I didnt go! I was thinking about doing the TET by myself around the North of Portugal and Spain, but now I am considering opening the invitation to everyone as well :o
Thank you very much Diogo! This is my first travel video and I really liked making it. Felt like I told a story. I highly recommend gathering a group and going on a trip together. The group I gathered was a fantastic mix of beautiful people. Looking forward to your video already 😁 By the way, if this can happen in winter time, I will join you - fly down and rent a bike 🤘
Appreciate your time and effort you put into making this great video! I enjoyed every bit of it, watched it from start till the very end! :) Thank you for sharing, cheers Johannes!
I miss a map, to show us the route and your progress! It would have been nice to introduce the other group members as well and their bikes! I suggest you make an episode on the people, the equipment that you used, including tires and you rthoughts on all of that. Good video Johannes, but as you said, the people make the difference and I trust you'll make the introduction! Travel safely!
Thanks for the feedback Steiner, I’ll add a map the next trip. Regarding introducing the other riders I actually thought about doing that, I’ll do that the next time we ride together. Thanks for the kind words!
An amazing trip, I enjoyed watching your adventure with beautiful landscapes and great a compani. The video quality was also really great, keep up the good work ;)
@@JohannesDalenMC thanks! I'm way overdue a longer ride, but a bad back and forest fires are a bit restricting at the moment. Never mind, I'll get out there soon! PS, you should come to The Overland Event near Oxford later this summer! 😎👍🏻
Watch out Itchy Boots - here comes Squeaky Boots. A great trip Johannes. Really enjoyed the video. I can relate to your comments when following the T7. Sometimes when you're in the zone, and everything is flowing perfectly, and you feel part of the bike itself - there is just no better feeling. Cheers
Excellent job and great riding. You haveit nailed now. Goes to show it doesn't really matter which adventure bike once you have some confidence and skills - even a 1290 can do it...imagine the R version!! So glad to see Norway via lounge chair 👍
Thanks a lot for the kind words, happy to hear you enjoyed it! Yeah the 1290 is super capable - I would love a 1290 SAR myself. Would love to bring the wife on the back too.
Absolutely loved this, I'm hoping to collect my rally prepped 701 in a week or so I can't wait to get out for the 1st adventure 👍🏼 thanks for the video
Hey Johannes 👋 a fantasic Video,thanks a lot 👍 i ride myself the swedisch an norway tet this year in august,i count the days back 🌲⛺🌲 you and the boys: allways ride safe and many greetings from Germany 👍👋
Hi Johannes, you made it. Great! Your skills grow up very fast - amazing. Guess what - the best that all get no hurt/heavy crashes and have a very good time. Thank`s for share - min venn.
Have to comment about your boots even I am only 10 minutes in the video. I sprayed teflon spray on my Tech 7 hinges and they are since months totally quiet, but maybe the sqeek is a part of your signature trademark😎Great video this far. I plan to make a one week trip in norway myself next year.
I have anything from teflon spray to WD40 at hand, but I’m just going to complain about them being squeaky instead of doing anything about it - trademark 😁 Thanks, you should definitely come ride the TET in Norway!🇳🇴
Meanwhile itchyboots rides her little 300 around the world and she will continue when she is healed up i just wish she would partner up with someone so she isn’t alone all the time. You did a great job with your video
Wow one day I must drive up and ride there :D <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="870">14:30</a> is that the big KTM? What an amazing sound and nice editing of the video, really
Follow my channel and the opportunity will come 🙂 I’m not riding the TET in Norway anytime soon, now I want to get down in Europe and explore - but if you want to ride the TET in Norway I highly suggest you reach out, perhaps on Facebook, and gather a group of riders and ride.
I agree with every word of the summary ride!! The company makes a journey excellent in all its aspects. Norway is a lovely country, we will visit it next month from 8-24 of the month (with a rented car). The TET track looks simply wonderful in one word :WOW . I wonder if its possible to rent a DUAL SPORT motorcycle in Norway for such a trip? Great video, thank you so much for sharing!
Hello there friend, thanks a lot for the kind words! Yes you can rent bikes here (Hygglo comes to mine) but I don’t know much about it. There’s a norwegian offroad Facebook group called «OTC - offroad touring club». If you join that you can ask if someone has a bike for rent. Best of luck with renting a bike and your trip here. If you need help from a local feel free to send me a message on Messenger 🙂
@@JohannesDalenMC Thank you. Here in Israel i ride on DRZ from 01-2020. Before i ride on enduro motorcycles. But as i retired from work i chang the riding style for dual sport and i like it. Its much fix for my size as we say (58 years old+). Its a great dual sport motorcycle. The video tells me to explore Norway also on the dirt not only with car. I will be in touch. Thanks again Johannes!!
Hej Johannes I found your channel on the last day of July 2022 , it was the one on light weight stuff you take when on adventures, next one was on what tools you take , I had by then subscribed so when the trans European trail dropped i thought great let’s check this out great videos awesome scenery I’d love to join you but I would need to change bikes as my tiger 955i is really not up to that kind of riding , keep doing what your doing it’s perfect best wishes Nigel .
Hello Nigel, thanks a lot for your kind words! The 955i might be a bit heavy, especially if you're new or traveling alone - keep me updated on which bike you end up with and best of luck.
awesome. for the next big trip, include a quick map to show the route. not details, just an overview. And food. I need to see food. lol. but thanks for taking the rest of us along, it was more than just 5 on the trip. I think you had 2.8K along for the ride. Thanks Johannes!
Hello there Uffe and thank you! That part is at the very end of Grimsdalen, the eastern side. The whole valley of Grimsdalen is as beautiful as anything can get, completely breathtaking. Have an awesome trip here in Norway and if you need any help feel free to reach out. God jul til deg og!
It sure was! This route is the exact GPS file that is found on the Norwegian TET site. If you google "TET Norway" you'll find it, can't link anything here.
Epic journey! A friend and I are taking the same trip next week. Heading to Sweden from kongsvinger side and then taking the route north. I am sensing a video with what you would change, equipment wise, and what you will keep for the next multi day adventure?
Keep me posted on how your trip went Hans! You know me well, Hans, it’s coming! Not one big video with all the gear, but a few specific items that I liked, like the luggage rack and helmet.
@@hanzo52 It wasn’t, but I was very close a few times. I brought a 3L fuel bladder from Giant Loop. Worked really well, highly suggest you take one of those (or a flask) and keep it as backup just in case.
Hi, great trip. I saw toll stations on the TET in Norway in another video. Do motorcyclists have to pay there? I thought motorcycles are exempt from tolls in Norway. Greetings Alex
Johannes, for your squicing boots. Try Mink Olja. I did on my boots and the noice disappered. Ask a swedish friend for mink olja. I think you have it in norway too, but it mostley have another name. Nice video, thanks.
Hi Johannes, great trip. You don´t have to convince me of NOR's beauty. Been there for 6 weeks during TRJE18 and I am still unable to explain to myself why I felt so at home in a country with a foreign language and landscape. (Must have to do sth with NOR mentality in general) But should I ever have the chance to ride the NOR TET I will be very happy to have Klim Badlands Pro with me. By the way: Are you really using a rack? Can't believe that. 😉😁
Hello there! Nice, are you still in the army? I’m happy to hear that you felt at home in my country. I’m a separate rain gear kind of guy, but my next jacket will definitely be a jacket with event/gtex because the weather here is so unpredictable. Regarding the racks.. hehe, well, I’ve been meaning to to explain why, but haven’t made a video yet. I just really liked how easy the Enduristan bags were in use so I wanted to try them for this trip. They didn’t fit my bike well on the right side, so I ordered a set of racks. I liked them a lot, but I’ve already sold them and went back to rackless. They were simply too heavy and I could feel the weight while riding. A good experience though, now I can recommend or not recommend racks if people ask 🙂
@@JohannesDalenMC Yes I still am. Regarding the racks: After my first rackless experiences with the Enduristan Monsoons 3 I decided for the racks of Nomad Adventure. They are less than 2 kg, as close to the bike as possible and allows you to have the weight almost in the center of the rear wheel . Thus they didn't influence my riding experience and worked perfectly for Monsoons. On the other hands the plates of the rack are to small for anything else. Thus I created some "tailord to mission" plastic choping boards to replace them when needed. Nevertheless if I had to make the decision again, I would not be any longer deterred by the high price of Mosko Moto Reckless. Combined with a Giant Loop roll or Enduristan Tornado this seems to be the best thought out and versatile solution at the market. But maybe I just so optimistic since I don't have any experience with that solution and can't therefore see the downsides. And I am already curious with which solution you will come up! 🙃
I had them on my T7. Quality and modularity was excellent, but I actually found them a bit annoying to use. Openings are not very big and the whole holster solution is very heavy and a bit cumbersome. The reason why I went with them a second time is because of how well they fit the 701, but also because of the quality. People are reporting their 5-6 year old bags still looking like new, and I wanted a set that I could move to my next bike too. The modularity will help with that as well. In the end, could have been the Kriegas or Enduristans too, but I like Mosko Moto and what they offer, so went with them a second time. Will of course report back 🙂
Thank you! I’d say most of it can be driven with a car, yes. Perhaps some parts won’t work, but I’d definitely just try and follow the TET route. So many awesome places and views!
I think it would be better for you to go out and do an adventure on a motorbike than to sit around and talk about motorbikes would be boring. I enjoyed this adventure. Keep it up. Greetings from Morocco
Hey Johannes and crew, how can I get that tour on a navi or smartphone? It.s a fantastic ride. I.ve been 2018 in Norway, but without offroad passages. How can I check out the Norway TET? Thanx and stay happy, KR Henry 😉
Sounds great and just what you wanted! Glad the DRZ kept up with all of you…hope you talk about that aspect of the trip sometime as the only bike I have still is my DRZ. What are doing after the divorce? Just kidding brother!
The DRZ did excellent. I’m currently stripping it down and giving it a good bath - I’ve put it up for sale online but I really, really struggle to part with it. There’s so many things about it that I like, but it doesn’t get ridden because the 701 is better in every way. Time will tell what happens to the DRZ, I’m thinking about putting less aggressive tires on it and make it my daily commuter and long distance tourer - ever heard about a touring ready DRZ? 😬
Great video Johannes. Im half Norwegian with relatives in Kristiansand and Telemark. Some day I will come and ride this route and visit everyone. I love Norway!!
Do you have a something like the swedish "terrängkörningslagen" in Norway? And if so, is it as strict as sweden's (basically everything except roads are "no go")?
Yes, I don’t know if we have a specific law like the Swedes, but if the road isn’t a public one, it is by law illegal to ride there. There’s obviously some grat areas here with tractor roads and some trails, but Norway is just as strict as Sweden regarding this, yes.
Yes it truly was! Hmm, 5-6 days in total if I remember correctly. Planned to be away for much longer, but we finished the TET earlier than anticipated and we were all tired at that point and wanted to go home 😁
Thank you! The full trip is available for download on TET website - you’ll find it if you Google ‘TET Norway’, can’t link websites here unfortunately. Good luck!
Nice trip Johannes! I’ve noticed you don’t ride with the double take mirrors anymore on the 701. Is there any reason for this. I’m looking into getting some for my bike but wondering why you changed back to stock?
Thanks! Stock ones as mirrors are better because I see more behind me. I recommend the doubletake ones but I think I’m wider than the average guy so I want mirrors with longer stem.
Hmm good question, I think they are pretty similar. Above 100kph I can’t see anything in any of them. I’d use stock until it break from a fall and then upgrade. Save cash is always best 😁
Amazing trip! I am also a motorcyclist, currently from Poland, but I am in the process of emigrating to Norway and in the new season I will be living, working and riding a motorcycle there. I hope I can make it through this road! Do you have a map of your route available somewhere? I will be very grateful :) Regards and maybe see you sometime on the way :)
Hello there friend, that’s cool to hear - where in Norway will you settle down? This whole trip is the Norwegian TET, and the gpx files can be downloaded on the TET website (can’t link on YT, it will be removed).
@@JohannesDalenMC I'm glad you answered! My wife is already in Norway, in Stavanger :) Me and my son will be there in a few months, January-February. We have an apartment in Stavanger, specifically in Hafrsfjord :) I hope that someday I will be able to meet you or join us on a journey together. Best regards and I am already looking at the TET website. Thank you very much once again and good luck to you!
@@JohannesDalenMC Oh, one more interesting thing! I am selling my Suzuki DL650 in Poland and I am planning to buy a T7 in Norway, and RU-vid told me your films when looking for information about Tenere :) Cool!
Stavanger, that’s only a couple of hours away from Kristiansand where I live 😊 For sure we’ll arrange some riding together! Best of luck to you guys moving here, if you need help from a local just hit me up and I’m happy to help! That’s cool, more T7 videos on it’s way in the upcoming months.
