Motorbiking in Norway is supposed to be something special. It’s on the list to be sure! There used to be direct ferries from the UK to Denmark and before that Gothenburg. Sad that they’ve stopped.

UK motorcycle gangs = 😺😾😿😂🤣😂

Great video Matt

Hi,when your not in a hurry an alternative route I take from Brizzle is; Chepstow old Bridge and head towards the racecourse. The B4235 at the Spar to Usk ( nice road) Take a right in Usk high street on the B4598 (Abergavenny Rd) At the Green Chain Bridge,go over and take the small road ( Chain Bridge Rd) and just keep going straight until the A4042.Turn left and the caff's a few metre up.Safe riding Richard (Brizzle Honda 500 cbx ) PS sometimes there is a police speed van on the B4598 as you head out of Usk l/h side where there are open fields and before the 50

It sounded like Welsh that you were speaking to with Lilian.

Great visit to the Baffle Haus. Looks ace. And what a friendly bunch. I wonder if there's anything similar around Manchester.

Very nice words/advice at the end about mental heath! Cheers from a fellow Triumph rider.

Oh, I missed ya, usually like to watch your vids when they're still warm, after their upload...! Now somebody else I follow has also been here, can't remember who, but it's defo a place I would like to visit. How far is it from Bristol? Had to smile when you showed off your language skills...😂.

good stuff, mate.

I just bought a new GoPro 10. I hope I haven’t made a mistake. 😅 I want to use it trouble free on my Thunderbird as well as on my jetski.

That looks like an amazing place! Unless I’m mistaken, that was a real Harley XR750, one of the coolest bikes ever built. And then that CBX on top of it! When I make it over to the UK again, that will be on my list of places to visit. I was super impressed with your Norwegian! To my untrained ear, it sounds like you’re 100% fluent. Really enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing it.

I've never been there, no excuses!!! Love the 5 minute MH Tips. Sat in the car at Cribbs now as just had to get out of there as sooooo busy. So perfect timing for your MH Tips. For me it's riding a bike, no idea why it's so good for me. But I deffo do that thing of going down a rabbit hole in my head, and it's always negative thoughts 🤷🏻

Nice ride out Matt, thanks for taking us along. I just love all the different styles of bikes us UK riders enjoy. Ride safe, thanks for posting.

I’m a Northumbrian, could basically understand your Norwegian

Tbh I probably would have watched you tidying the kitchen if you'd had a chin mount and an Insta 360. So there's a challenge for you.

I absolutely love hearing you speak Norwegian! That was wonderful! Great video as always. I hope you ride through Norway soon! Let me know, I'd love to show you around my part of Norway 🙂

My local hangout

Cykel tur. what a great lie 😅😂🤣 is it not a Motorcykel tur 😛 By the way. look up SWM Stormbreaker V1200. cost alot less than a Harley 👍 Thank you very much for another road trip 😀

Really enjoyed that mate. Looks like a great little place. Keep up the good work 👍

Brilliant vlog man, reminds me of driving to Cornwall seeing the big bridge in Bristol. Ride safe bud

We enjoyed watching you at the Baffle Haus, it's one of our frequent stops! Great video👍

Great video, have you been to the Oily Rag in Glos? That's well worth a visit as well

Great video! They also had the Thunderbird Sport, which was a performance version of the Thunderbird. As far as I can tell, it is the only model of that platform that had significant differences to the others. Dual front discs, improved suspension, more power, 3-into-2 exhaust with stacked mufflers, and apparently a higher seat height.The difference in the others seems to be the amount of chrome and type of handlebars, and shape of the seat. The Thunderbird Sport is still one of the best looking bikes Triumph has made since their relaunch in the 90s, in my opinion!

That made me laugh when the guy gave you a sign not to pass and you did it anyway :) I've encountered the same on my bike and i just ignore them and carry on with my ride the US mentality doesn't work in the UK

I know what you mean about cruisers, I'm finding myself looking at them more and more, is it a middle aged thing maybe? But I can't bring myself to go to Harley, they're just too crude, too lumpy. I know for some that's part of the appeal, but they're not for me. What I do find myself looking more and more at is the Triumph Speedmaster, now that's a bike I could ride all day. It's too new for you, with its EFI but what about the Triumph Bonneville America? Cruiser styling with Triumph finesse. I can see you on one. Oh and cheese and motorcycles, I like it, I feel it could be a thing, a bike tour of famous cheeses. Britain alone has over 700 named cheeses according to Wikipedia, which could give you plenty of short trips.

Great im looking forward to watching more. Brilliant

Great vlog mate I really enjoyed it. Like And a sub from a fellow motovlogger. Ride safe mate

I had a 1998 Adventurer, the same as yours and the legend but all chrome engine and the sort of chopper rear mudguard, different flared silencers, there was a problem with mine. It would vibrate horrible between 3-4 k revs and then sometimes it was as smooth as silk, but mostly vibrate horrible, had to change it after 2 months, otherwise liked the handling the style the sound, shame i had bought a duff one.

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the next. I noticed you on the Baffle Haus Instagram feed having a cuppa. Great riding areas over there. Looking forward to that video! :)

Not a criticism of your video, (which I thought was pretty good) but those folks are not in a biker "gang". They are part of a motorcycle club.

There was the Triumph Adventurer as well which looked the same apart from mudguards, tank badges and handlebars etc.

Good sound and film quality mate👍 They probably thought, what’s he doing here with that English piece of rubbish? Good job to not be around them for too long, they would have become jealous of your bike🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve never been to bike night which is unforgivable given I live near Bath 🙈

@08:18 Is that orange bike a Laverda ??? Thank you very much for the road trip 😀

The legend is lower with smaller wheels and different rake I believe. I’m surprised that biker patch club let you in the pack but I guess you didn’t give them much choice 😂 wise move to peel off I think. Sound and vision is working well 👍🏻

After 13 yrs HD i'm fed up wiv 'em... too expensive in service, maintenance and keep,😢 and rattle my old bones apart. It's time for something sensible, like for eg. a Triumph T'bird. Thx for the tip!

Congrats on the new cam! The legend have a lower seat height. But yeah very much the same. Strong engine :) I don't think the one in your video have the stock seat - actually looks like a TB seat.

You're getting very professional now mate, picture excellent, sound excellent, and channel content... well, some of the best there is. Ride safe, stay vigilant and carry on carrying on. Look forward to your future offerings.

Well done Matt, very well deserved! Ican;t imagine the number of people who got to know this teat because of your trip & review! 👍

Takes me back - haven't been to the gorge since approx. 1982. Great cream teas! Love the Thunderbird and your whole philosophy around biking (and life in general). Keep up the good work!

Hallo mate, here’s my list of changes which have really helped me. 1. Binned the standard mat and bag and replaced with better bag (lighter too) and inflatable sleeping mat (much more comfortable, better insulation and makes for a much smaller pack size) With my little Flextail pump it takes seconds. 2. I carry some lightweight poles and guy ropes for the canopy (easily fit in the pole section). Never been a fan of tying it the bike. What’s the point of camping somewhere with amazing views if you can’t see past your engine ? Also makes access much easier. I find the built in groundsheet on the tent perfectly adequate for most types of ground so I tend to use the cover/groundsheet in front rather than under the tent. In conjunction with the extra poles I carry this gives you a great area for sitting, cooking and storing gear. A great tent all in all, enjoy 👍🏻

After riding the Tiger 800 I don’t think my TBird is top heavy anymore. You’ve got to buy cheddar cheese when visiting Cheddar even if it is overpriced. The blue cheddar is my favourite.

Just been watching your turkey trip amazing! Iv just entered my 40’s and I feel like motor bike trips are a good release from the daily grind ❤

Great video. My faves. Bikes cheese and beer in no particular order. Hope you keep the triumph too

I did this trip and got in a right pickle!

Hi there, We were just enjoying watching your video when you surprised us with your recommendation of our channel. We really appreciate your support. Loving your channel content. Take care and keep riding. Looking forward to seeing if you get an 883. 👍😃Thanks again. 😊

Mid-size cruisers are nice because the weight is usually slammed so low to the ground that the bikes feel lighter than they are. For example, an Indian Scout felt lighter than my Enfield 650. I’s recommend checking out as many cruisers as you can-you may find you really like them!

That's fine, family first! We will still be here for the next adventures! 👍

Motorcycles and cheese brilliant 😀 subscribed.

I got a triumph thunderbird commander 1700. That is a very heavy bike it can feel a bit too heave at slow speeds going around bends but gets lighter the faster you go. Great vids also mate.
