That was 6 hours well spent. Enjoyed it greatly. Thanks for taking me to places I may never go, I feel somewhat indebted to you for all your effort you put into your channel. All I can offer is my thanks and appreciation. Thanks mate.

TMF, just binge watched the whole series in pretty much one sitting and I’m now suffering from post trip blues I enjoyed that much. If you ever get the opportunity to come touring in New Zealand I’m sure you will enjoy it just as much. Great job thanks very much.

I agree with your assessment. I spent a few hours each day. They kept getting better and better. Honestly this is just about the most meaningful and well done "VLOG"'s on the net! I too, do not see how I could ever go there. Fantastic story and pictures, done by a kind hearted and giving man. I have a question if you don't mind. I want to get back on a GS. Life got in the way about 10 yrs ago. I lost my job and and to sell my 2007 R1200GS. I can not afford a new bike and I do not know if I can save up for a 2013 to 2014 GS liquid cooled. That said, are the 2013's and up that much better than the previous iterations? A 2010 - 2012 R1200GS can be bought in the USA for around $9,000. A 2013 - 2014 R1200GS water cooled costs ~ $13,000 to $14,000. Thats a lot of money to save when one is past his working years. By THE WAY... if you ever make it to the states, there are places to rent bikes. The Great Smoky Mountains, the painted desert, and The Rocky mountains are sights to rival your Arctic trip! ...and every one drives on the right side of the road! Come on over. In case you missed it, I mentioned about MOTOPORT GEAR. It is Cracking good!! www.motoport.com

A little late, 6 years to be precise, but I’m planning a trip to Norway this summer and you’ve certainly caused me to consider several different places that weren’t on my original plans and that’s a good thing! What a great adventure that was, what incredible weather, 20° odd in the arctic circle, amazing! I’ve learnt a lot and I have enjoyed every minute, thank you. You obviously have a wonderfully understanding wife and family as do I, luckily. The intention is an open ended trip north maybe to Nordkapp, maybe south through Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania……maybe not we’ll see. Weather, energy, cost all come into it! Thanks again, wonderful! Sam
