Trans Euro Trail Norway - 3000km Scenic Offroad 

If I’m a legend you are God - thank you so much for being a part of this. Love you!

A memory I will cherish for the rest of my life - looking forward to our next one! Love you!

Epic Vikings

Love you my friend, thanks a lot for being a part of this epic trip - already looking forward to our next trip! 🤘

Thank you very much for such a nice comment, ride on my friend!

Haha that is so true, what a mean machine!

And thank you for watching Miha, I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Your feedback means a lot to me, thank you my friend!

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.

@@NomadSweden I would love to know that! You’re not the first to request a map, so I’m definitely going to add that in the next adventure video!

@@JohannesDalen 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! I actually live in Kristiansand, if you ever come by let me know. The TET in Norway is beautiful!

Takk! 🙂

Thank you very much Dung 😁

That makes me very happy to hear, and welcome to the channel. Doesn't matter which bikes you like as long as you are on two wheels!

Happy to hear you liked it my friend!

Thanks Dom - yes the 701 was outstanding 😁

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!

Thanks a lot Vidoje 😁

Thank you Charlie!

Thank you Mario, and congrats on your new adv bike - I hope it will bring you many great experiences and memories!

Cheers my friend, happy to hear you liked it!

Looking forward to seeing you on the next trip, Wolf 🙂

It's pretty easy riding on the Norwegian TET. You would have done fine. Speed is not the essence on the TET!

And thank you for watching, it truly was a trip of a lifetime 😊

Thanks for watching John!

Cheers mate!

Happy to hear Rob! Sounds awesome, when you say "rally prepped" - what does that involve?

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 🤘

Happy to hear David!

Hehe, there’s a new player in town! 😁 Exactly, nice job describing what we call «the flow». A fantastic feeling! Cheers my friend

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.

Hyggelig å høre Simon! 🙂

Thank you very much Mark!

Thanks for watching my friend 🙂

Thailand? How exotic! Thanks for the kind words and welcome aboard my friend 🙂

Thank you very much Dirks!

Thanks 😁

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!🇳🇴

Thank you Roy, I’m happy the video was inspirational, that’s what I hoped for. Get out there and explore my friend! 🙂

Thanks for watching!

Thank you Rob, and thanks for the greetings all the way from Australia. Riding and visiting your country is on the very top of my bucket list!

Takk Torbjørn! 🙂

Thanks a lot for the kind words my friend! Yes, that’s the 1290 - a completely bonkers machine, I test rode it. Would love to buy a 1290 SAR one day!

If this video inspired you to go ride I couldn’t be happier - safe rides Jocke!

@@JohannesDalen 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! 😎👍🏻

Thanks a lot my friend - don’t be bummed, we’ll ride the Hellas rally together next year 😁

@@JohannesDalen hell yeah!

Thank you!

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 🙂

@@JohannesDalen 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!!

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.

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.

@@JohannesDalen Will do! One question: was it essential to bring extra gas for your 701 on any sections?

@@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.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll do that in the next video. Thanks for the kind words Steve, I’m happy you enjoyed it!

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.

That’s too bad my friend. It’s actually not that available in Norway either. Isn’t there a TET in Austria?

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!

Haha for sure! I just remember that I realized it was mud and that I didn’t want to lose momentum, so I kept going and then splash!

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!

@@JohannesDalen Thank you!

@@JohannesDalen går norska tet genom grimsdalen?

Så absolutt! Går gjennom flere daler som er helt fantastiske, kjøremessig og utsikten.

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 🙂

@@JohannesDalen 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 🙂

Thanks for the tip Per-Olof, and for the kind words!

The adv side of motorcycling is a fantastic thing with many adventures. You don’t have to have something like a 701 or a very dirt oriented bike either - many adventures can be had on bikes that are much more street oriented too. I’m in the market for a second, more street oriented bike as the trails that I have are far away and most of the riding I do is on tarmac.

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.

Det var det - ingenting er som en god offroad-tur med gode venner 😁

Hello Henry! The GPS file from the TET website. Google «tet norway» and you’ll find it and more information about this trip 😊

It’s the topic of the next video, so stay tuned 🙂 They worked really well, very happy with both racks and bags!

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 😁

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.

@@JohannesDalen do you find the vibrations affect the stock or the double take more?

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 😁

Thanks for the feedback and greetings from Morocco 😊 I do a bit of both, can’t be out riding for weeks all the time, so I have to talk as well!

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? 😬

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!

Takk! Da får du bli med på neste tur 🙂 Ja det gjorde jeg - Marmot Precip er de buksene jeg har, de har glidelås som går helt opp til hoften. Veldig fornøyd med de, og ikke særlig dyre heller. Eneste negative er at det ikke er stretch i buksene, så det kan bli litt trangt ved knærne når man har på store knebeskyttere.

@@JohannesDalen Det høres ikke dumt ut, skal ta en titt på de. Jeg sjekket ut Scott sine bukser (jeg har regnjakken) og ble ganske skuffet over at glidelåsen ikke gikk lengre. 20cm med glidelås til så hadde det vært den perfekte regnbuksen ...

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).

@@JohannesDalen 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!

@@JohannesDalen 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.

@@JohannesDalen Tusen takk! Vi sees i Norge :)

Thanks! TET Spain is definitely on my list.

@@JohannesDalen 👍
