When I produced videos, I left the Contour/GoPro recording all day long. In the last couple of years or so, I had a powerbank in my bike jacket supplying power for the GoPro. This meant that I had 8 hours recording on the card but I had no need to worry about the battery. Of course this meant I had lots and lots of footage to go through at home. Worth it though. I feel your pain re the drone however, I'm sure you're more than happy with the results of the scenery and riding captured.

Hi again. Just watching your Norway tour -again👌-and noticed your comment about base layers. This year I’ve done a short tour of the Cairngorms and a week long solo tour of Ireland. This took in parts of the Wild Atlantic Way and the Causeway Costal Route, both highly recommended. Scotland was cool weather, Ireland was during the heatwave (30 degrees plus). I wore a Weird Fish bamboo base layer under my Alpinestars Andes jacket, which was pretty much all I needed on both trips. Maybe worth a look. Keep up the good work.

I'm developing a whole new level of appreciation for the big GS by watching this trip unfold. I've never really understood their appeal before but seeing how many hours you can ride and the amount of integrated tech they have it's all starting to make more sense. I'd never attempt a trip like this on my current bike (900 Hornet, I need to update my profile pic), I can barely ride for 10 hours in a day and then I need another day to recover.

Weather pro app has excellent forecasts in europe. Ålesund is a beautiful Art Nouveau city. Nice harbour fish restaurant. You maybe saw one tenth or less of Norway; you have to go back and we would appreciate that very much. More touring vids to watch. In Norway I usually took salmon for breakfast; very posh. Four slices of bread with filling is one sandwich, not the usually two slices. We did hundreds of miles ofroad and the landscapes you see; amazing. I would love to live in a Norwegian house, they look very cozy. I recognize a lot. I've got special summer gear where the wind can blow through from Revvit. It also has a thermal and waterproof layer when needed. Underneat a thermal layer.

TMF, are you sure this isn't a dream you're somehow transmitting? The place looks idyllic, stunning scenery, stunning roads, even more stunning weather and not a midge to be seen. But even more amazing, where's all the traffic, even Scotland would be pretty busy in high summer. I think in that half hour I saw half a dozen cars and they were mostly going the opposite way, maybe just a couple of overtakes required and as for white vans, I'm guessing they've simply been banned from Norway. Getting back to congested Britain must have been really hard after that. Another great series 👍

Fascinating to watch this as a sub that's also norwegian, you never quite know what you got until someone else tells you. Some history for those who enjoy that sort of thing: Namsos was established in 1845, so by european standards its a rather new town. But it looks much newer because the Germans bombed it to the ground during WW2. There was also something called the Namsos Campaign that one of my favourite british generals was a part of. Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart, veteran of the first war and just an amazing person. So if one finds a little extra time, I recommend reading about the Namsos Campaign, one of the many forgotten fronts of WW2. But if one has any interest in wartime history I can not recommend getting to know Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart better, just an amazing man.

another fantastic installment enjoying every second breathtaking even shown this way, but I can only imagine how much more beautiful in person one thing, however... Your inability to clean your windscreen on a daily basis considering all we know about you is downright shocking... LOL seriously, thanks again for entertaining us and sharing this beautiful part of the world with us Even one more thing.... How will you ever be able to go on a motorcycle tour again after Norway? I mean, is it really possible to find someplace even more beautiful?

...that is a real problem Greg, my normal local rides haven't been the same since - I fear Norway has "spoiled" me!! ...and don't think that dirty windscreen wasn't a problem for me too!

here in Florida... we have something called the LOVEBUG en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovebug they are out in force in April and this time of year I went riding last weekend where the heat index was over 47 (no kidding) and even at 50 miles an hour the bugs were striking my windshield like a machine gun and embedding themselves in all of the parts of my GS adventure because of the temperature it took two hours just to get most of them off hydrogen peroxide Windex prayers elbow grease it almost made riding not worth it but I''ll still go again tomorrow appreciate you and everything you share with us

12:30 It's common here to have one slice of bread with whatever you have on it on top. Less bread taste, more of the good stuff. Although, it's common to putt a "Sandwich paper" in between the "sandwiches so the Ham and cheese doesn't taste like salmon....
