I usually watch the sky and let it suggest me the direction. It works half of the times, but seems romantic.

Hello Runa Bear 🐻 @6:30 So true about city driving vs. Country roads. Now imagine living in a city with 6M people and it takes you over an hour to drive 15 miles to get home from work. This is why I quit my job, sold everything and plant go travel the world's back roads

Hi dear runa i watch your videos regularly Norway is very beautiful like runa.

Have we seen the first proper "runa-rant"? ;)

Superb,serious.shamim🤝🕊💚

We have the same issue in NZ…..without judging driving ability, the fact people are on holiday and distracted by the views on narrow twisty roads leads to an awful amount of near misses and accidents.

Nice to sea i did exactly the same. I arrived by ferry Bognes-Lodingen and went north. Took also the ferry Fiskebol-Melbu and stayd 3 days on Sortland around Myre. Indeed, much less crowded with tourists, beautifull scenery. I loved it. Was there 8 days ago.

Very sympathetic stay that open and honest! And don't go where you don't want to be 🤘

We all have those days and I agree city ridding sucks Country ridding is far better love the videos like always

Thank you for showing us that you, Runa, are a real person, with real feelings about good days and bad (or, shall we say, less-good). Judging by the nicely-creative editing, I'd say you made good use of your "productive" day in the hotel. Beautiful Norway certainly attracts the tourists. You passed one large RV with the name, "Road Surfer," which I thought was particularly funny in comparison to a motorcyclist.

i am from Pakistan...i like your adventure and trip...

Greetings from Türkiye. You obey the traffic rules very well and behave respectfully. I think as Türkiye, we should take this as an example. Our traffic is chaos.

Ok 👏🎉 Runa 👌

This is so much like the NC500 here in Scotland, roads clogged with camper vans or idiots in Lamborghini's trying to get round as fast as possible, it has been ruined :/

I just watched your latest video about your trip to Vesterålen, and I have to say, the scenery is absolutely stunning! I love the way you capture the beauty of Norway in your videos. You really make me feel like I'm there with you, sitting on the motor tank lol and enjoying the views. I'm also a big fan of the way you engage your viewers. You're always so informative and entertaining, and I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Enjoy your trip!

Brave Lady Salute ❤

Super nice Video. Thank you and waiting for the next. God tur agan ❤😊

When you love mountain views, beautiful lakes, and quiet scenery, heaven can't be far away!! ❤

Nice episode Runa! And don't we all have those days? Likely you had already had a gut feeling about this destination, and then you see all those negative things that will only confirm this feeling. Please keep showing us the non-touristic parts of the world!💚

Sadly, bad drivers are everywhere. When I ride my level of situational awareness usually means that I'm going a bit slower, so I don't want to be the cause of an accident. I don't enjoy the bigger highways at all and I stick to the smaller roads here. Your country looks beautiful. Enjoy and I love your videos.

I had a chuckle over your frustration with tourists I drove the Alaska hwy for many years. as a trucker . They see wildlife and slam on the brakes in the middle of the road to look park anywhere block travel lanes race so you can’t pass so I can relate be safe and have a better day tomorrow

Watching from India🇮🇳❤ your trip videos are so sweet❤😊🌹

i like your calm style and relaxing music and i agree, keep away from the main tourist areas. all the best.

It's interesting to hear that drivers in Norway are as nuts as everywhere else (USA for example). I hope you always ride with your headlight on high beam, Runa. I do. Always. 😀👍❤

I Just started watching your videos!..and I cant wait for the next one,Just love'm so much!....keep riding safe !❤

Nice trip and looking lovely🌹

In The Wind 😎 👌 good night 🌞

I camped in the Vesteralen as it was much quieter, then got the ferry from Andenes to the mainland. Definitely the antidote to the crowds of Lofoten.

Smile when you ride...I did the same.All the best for you...😊

Runa, hearing your frustration reminds me of your bloopers video. Just being real is appreciated. Your videos are experiential, and personal, not documentaries.

Been binge watching for some time, to catch up. As an ancient moto-tourer/camper with half a million miles clocked on duel-sports, Adventure tourers, and finally Beamer R 12 RTs, how could I not tune in to a video of riding out-back Norway; which is quite like my homeland on steroids, here in the Pacific Northwest of Washington state and BC, Canada !! Love the videography, drone work and commentary style. However, FWIW I would offer this well intended advice with deepest respect and courtesy: take that windscreen to a carpenter/cabinet shop. Have them draw a shallow arc (sides downward) an inch or two above the oblong opening, and jig saw off the tall portion above. Then, the plastic cut on the shortened screen can be easily finished to OEM quality with a belt sander and fine no-fill, etc. The distraction of the distortion of the windscreen sucks all the joy out of the essential forward video feed (being able to virtually view the road ahead while traveling, etc.). With admiration for what you do. Happy Dayz, Rob

beautiful Norway, and also your beauty😊. i like your adventure

It's nice to see you again @runa hope y enjoyed always

To infinity… and beyond!

Apapun yg bisa buat bahagia wajib dilakukan🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩❤happy raiding ladies stroong😁

Hôm nay lại theo bạn đi một hành trình dai với những còn đường dai vô tận ,thật tuyệt vơi khì được trái nghiệm khám phá những khủng cảnh mới lạ và đẹp mắt,tôi thích điều đó ở bạn,tôi luôn theo giỏi bạn tôi bỏ lỡ ngươi bạn dễ thương của tôi,chúc bạn luôn bình an ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

we can't affroad that to Travelling there, so you help us to watch and see the World by your Eyes 😍 in my opnion i Enjoyed your videos wih Nature !

I totally agree, although I like back roads and what we call country roads (rock or dirt). Never enjoyed Interstates or major highways. Noraly only likes dirt, however she buys a lot of mirrors 😊 ha! stay safe

amazing scenary friend keep goin❤

Hi Runa New subscriber here and all that I want to say is "Thankyou", keep doing what you are doing.

Hola princesa me impresionas siempre con sus videos sus rutas felicidades

I’m exactly the same on holidays. I like to stay away from the crowds. We save the touristy areas for Winter, when it’s quieter. It makes for better viewing if you’re happy and enjoying your day! Forget about us! 🤗😁

I hope you came through the storm Hans alright. We have flooding here (in mid-Sweden).

👍👍👍!

I absolutely know the feeling. We live in “World Famous “ Sun Valley in Idaho. I’ve been here for 43 years ad it’s always grown. What happened here was the onslaught of Covid refugees with all their money. We had 10 years of growth in 2. Years ago people would move here for what we have. Beautiful country and laid back life. Now the people come here to get away to get away from where they were. Subtle difference but profound. We have one restaurant that gives out yellow and red cards to obnoxious clients. Lordy be! Inside people going outside!

Camping in a such chilling weather...come to Bali, Indonesia...we have warm weather...🎉

Thank you for these videos. I enjoy evey one of them.

I love motor camp in nature😉

YOU JUST ROCK RUNA JI❤❤❤❤❤

Great video, Runa. I have to agree with you, cities, crowds and traffic are the pits. Try finding a camping spot in the USA without a reservation, a year in advance. Not my idea of a vacation.

Runa, not so bad. I think it would help, if you spent some time talking about the history of the region, the fishing, drying, etc and the dependance on the fish, exported to all over Europe, mostly to catholic countries, because of the fish on fridays. Also a littl about the Sami and the juxtaposition between the "Norwegian" pomulation and the locals. The landscape is a little monotonous, so a little history won't hurt. Also, talk a little about the troubles, or lack of such, of the new Norden! I am not sure where you are right now, but good luck.

Hi Runa, you do not need to apologize for taking your time to plan your routes. I enjoy all the scenery and roads you travel. Do what you need to do to stay safe and have fun on your bike. Thanks for taking us along.

👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Runa you were so funny at the beginning about the other crazy drivers overcrowded i get it what you are saying trust me . I love the back quite roads to . And when you are having a bad day you parked your bike relaxed got rest the next day way better . That's what i love about your vids you don't sugar coat it . Hang in there can't wait for ur next one . Besafe Runa !!

Thank you for another excellent episode. I must say I noticed how well you frame the shots as you ride. Making sure we get amazing views and the mundane. Plus I'm enjoying your soundtrack. This has made my morning.

Again a great episode you shared with us. Thank you 😊👍🙏

Já chego dando like antes de começar a ver o vídeo! Obrigado Runa!!

Hey Runa, We met these days on lofoten, my experience with other drivers was not at all negative, at least on lofoten. Two days later around the geiranger fjord with all the tourist coaches from the cruise ships it was completely different…

My second trip to Trollstigen was much nicer, but I got there at 6 in the morning, worth the early start from Soknedal. The first trip to Trollstigen consisted of the campervan game. A: Block the road B: Stop suddenly C: Drive really slow D: All the above 😂. Now in Wales playing the same game😅

Well done Runa. So much to see and explore. Totally agree on Lofoten, it is a nightmare during the main tourist season. All the best.

jajajajajajaja!!!! I feel the same way on some days, but to see you lose your Shi, is priceless. 💐

Beautiful biker In the bikers community Respect from islamabad Pakistan

YOU ARE AWESOME RUNA JI PLEASE BE SAFE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💪💪👍🙏👍🙏🙏👍🙏🙏👏👍👏🥰🥰❤❤😍😍❤❤🥰❤😍❤❤🥰❤🥰❤❤❤😍❤❤❤❤😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘❤❤😍🥰❤❤🥰❤❤❤🥰🥰

Thank you for sharing all these impressions from Norway! Touring Norway with my bike is definitely on my bucket list! Best wishes from Switzerland! 🇨🇭

Hi Runa. What beautiful scenery. The color of the water is stunning, and the fog hanging over the mountain tops paints its own kind of beauty on the landscape. I dont blame you for being ticked off, and we've all woken up on the wrong side of the bed! Thank you for taking us along on your journey through some pretty spectacular views. Happy camping and safe travels. See you in the next one.

Superb!!👍👍👍

Thanks for the great video! You do such a fantastic job of showcasing your beautiful country!😊

Nice as always following your adventures Runa :-)

Chin up girl.😊 If every day was the same, life would be boring. 👍

Så intensivt vackert! HA-DE Gunnar

Love your Norwegian great bike journey ❤

I Love the way you show things on map Love your motorcycle and show Places Awesome and amazing scenery 😊

You are a ray of ****ing sunshine !

Thank you Runa :) You're the best! I know such days... they happen to me too, but they also pass. You are so strong and motivated - and of course, good mood and weather will lead you! :) Wish you a good day!

😊If the sun is out and sky blue its good,if there are tourists and anything on four wheels too bad

Wonderful 😍

I'm only leaving after the Norwegian and Swedish summer holidays. Since I come from Germany, the holidays in most federal states (apart from Bavaria) are over. I accept that I don't always have the best weather, but at least the hotspots are not overcrowded. Lofoten certainly is one (along with Geiranger, and the like). Vesterålen has a very different landscape, but also impressing. And it may not that crowded at the time you travelled. Indeed, I will start my trip on Sunday - not the route you took ( more eastern part of Norway , then heading to the coast via Orkanger and up north part of RV17 , again in the interior up to Narvik. Then back through Sweden (partly on TET).

With those low clouds over the mountains I was expecting one of the huge giant Norse Gods like Skadi (goddess of the wilderness, associated with archery, skiing, winter, mountains) to come stomping out from a valley and bend down through the clouds and give you a huge smile to lift your spirits. Such beautiful mystical scenery Runa. We are right with you in your choice of exploring the country back roads and ditching the cities. Even when you are frustrated it's funny and entertaining. Go where ever you want to go, we will follow with eyes wide open ! Thankyou. 🤩🤩🎯🎯😄😄🦘🦘

Thank you, Runa for another excellent video of your trip. Norway truly is a stunning place to ride, especially since so many of your roads are paved. Here in Alberta it happens that you ride a long way on a fantastically high tech paved road only to end up with gravel at some point. Deep, dangerous gravel roads abound here in what could have been as rich a place as Norway but for the spineless, infected politicians many years ago who were responsible for negotiating oil revenues with the huge, entity owned oil companies. At the same time that Alberta instituted the peoples' savings account with the Heritage Trust Fund so also did Norway organize such a savings account but with much larger percentages paid off the net of the lucrative, environment destroying, overly technological and expensive oil companies and hence, most roads are paved and Norwegians are rich in comparison to Albertans in general. Yesterday I got up off my open air sleeping spot under a tree in BC at 5:30 a.m. I had not slept well but the night before arrived very late in the dark and I was tired from a long ride. I just did not want to set up a tent and ended up sleeping off and on beside a busy highway. Oh, well, it was free camping that night. Anyway, I got up, packed up my way too much stuff gear since I was expecting a different adventure from copious rain the night and morning before and my tent was wet, another reason not to set it up. So, anyway, I rode off at 5:30 and decided to head back home since the fires near where I was were so intense that inhaling smoke all the upcoming night did not appeal to me. Red Deer I am coming home. Little did I expect I would spend 18 hours with my bike. I got back at 11:30 p.m. Go hard or go home, eh, Runa? I am feeling it today and am taking a break from riding. Oh, yes. I wore out my rear brake pads and had no such extra comfort riding home. It was one finger braking the whole way, but only for complete stops and hard stopping on the highway. Got to love how a throttle and clutch work on a modern motorcycle. Btw, Runa, there is a bike like yours on display at the dealership where I bought my Kawasaki Versys. Close up looking at your bike confirms, that is a fabulous bike you ride. Ride safe and thanks again for your smile and the time you take to prep yourself with girl stuff like mascara and braided hair to make your pretty face even more lovely to look at. Truly, Runa, you are a gift and the joy you bring is immeasurable.

Thank you, Runa. Beautiful vistas and a very nice video! Hello from Crested Butte, Colorado - USA.

It's just 4 days ago I was on the Lofoten and I fell in love with these Islands. As you say, the best way to avoid the mass of Rv's and tourists is to stay on backroads. I also stayed a night in my car at a loneley place. awesome. My Memories are fresh and when I saw your video, I had to comment. Wish you a nice journey all along an thanks for your videos.

Super Akka😇

Nice scenery Runa , pity it was over crowded like you mentioned. Good luck 👌🏼🤩

love it,, cheers from mexico.

its awesome enjoyed as if I am in Norway. Keep posting. Thank you for everything,

Very nice Runa. You are very strong.

Väldigt fint

I'm like you Runa, I hate cities with a passion and touristy places! I seek quiet roads as much as possible👍You made the right decision changing your plans, much better to be safe than sorry! Its just no fun at all when you are surrounded by idiots.... You didn't seem keen on your camping spot but what a beautiful area👌I said earlier I hate touristy places but I visited one today but only because it was a week day, I wouldn't go near it at the weekend! It was worth getting up at 4am for the early ferry and cycling round the beautiful Isle of Arran on the west coast of Scotland, narrow roads but perfect for cycling and its all ups and downs and twists and turns😁On the last descent I was doing 47mph (75kmph) and it was into a strong headwind😂

Hoi Runa ! Sometimes, things just go wrong. But let's have a deep breath and relax ! You did it right, changing your way to Vesterålen much less crowded and quieter for sure ! The view is just as magnificent, even with big black clouds above, and still those high mountains and fjords around !... Nice Sandvika beach👍! Takk igjen !

Your very inspiring, the place that your traveling is stunning, wish I could see it in person, but for time being seeing it through your eyes is good enough to me, thank you, Rob from U.S.

I too struggle having patience with people that, probably mean no harm, but are so focused on what they are doing that they forget about those around them. At least, I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt. Or, they could just be rude on purpose. Either way, you can only control how you react to it. That’s what I keep telling myself, anyway. I still loved the video. You’re so awesome to watch. Take care, Runa, and safe travels!

A Runa-rant… I’m so glad you included that. It’s honest and real and so relatable❤. Reminds me of other world class tourist ride destinations like Queenstown in the South Island of N.Z and The Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Aus.

Nice 👍

the beautiful scenery never stops, I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩 really enjoy watching your videos

I really like to drive to new places to explore unknown beauty. greetings from Indonesia🇲🇨

MUY BUEN VIDEO, QUE GRANDE QUE PUEDAS RODAR, FESTEJO QUE UNA MUJER ANDE EN MOTO. ABRAZO

رحلة سعيدة

Another day, another ferry ride.! I guess if you have beautiful scenery then you are sure to get traffic ! Although I can see by the tyre marks on the roads that there are some crazy drivers over there ! Anyway thanks again Runa for the video and Love from Australia 🇦🇺🏍🌹

Hello again beautiful young lady I hope I find you fit and well loving the beautiful green scenery and the way tops of the mountain are covered with mist thank you for another amazing video looking forward to the next one stay safe xxxxxx

My bucket list just got bigger.
