My name is Dave and for the past two years, I've gone head first into the world of motorcycles. Join me, as I document my adventures, share my thoughts, and break my fingers in the garage! My goal is to provide an entertaining and candid view of owning and riding bikes, from the perspective of someone who doesn't know enough to justify doing it.
Norway Episode Six | Hjälmar på för sista gången
We set off on the last leg of our journey, riding the legendary road known as Trollstigen, "the troll's ladder", and getting our last glimpses of the raw beauty of the Norwegian wilderness.

Thank you Johan and Mathias for organizing this incredible trip. I'm sure I speak for all of us who took part when I say we've made memories to last a lifetime. Beyond the adventure, this trip has surely improved our riding, and thanks to the weather, we've gained some stoic fortitude as well. There's no such thing as bad weather anymore, because I'll always be able to say "At least it wasn't as bad as Norway day two"!
For those interested in going on this trip, you must be under 35 and a member of SM...

Day four was a gargantuan 433km journey that took us from Pulpit Rock all the way to Laerdal. The first half of the day had us riding to the town of Odda, along cliffside roads, past pristine fjords and up across the greatest mountain pass I've been on.
Norway Episode Three | Dehydration and Elevation

A seemingly terrible start to the day has me throwing up out of a window, but gorgeous roads, warm weather, and clear skies are just the medicine I need, and after a fairly short ride, I recover just in time for our gang to get off our bikes and climb the steep, winding trail to Preikestolen.
Norway Episode Two | The Gauntlet

Our second day in Norway becomes our greatest trial. After leaving Kongsberg, we head into the wilderness, getting our first taste of barren mountains, sheep, and serpentines as we make our way to Lysebotn. However, dark clouds are gathering and before long, we're mired in rain, rain, and more rain!

I've just come home from the adventure of a lifetime where me and 19 other riders toured the most breathtaking roads Norway has to offer. All in all, it was a six day, 2000km journey. My GoPro captured nearly every minute of it, and now I have around 40 hours of footage to go through... it'll take a little time, but here's a taste of what's to come. Big shoutout to all my new friends, and espec...

During an intermittently rainy ride north of town, I discuss how to stay safe at speed, and demonstrate why you don't need a super bike to have fun and go fast. Note: I've added some captions for the helmet audio, since it might be harder to hear than the voiceover. Birth of a Hero Outro Music: Benjamin Tissot www.bensound.com

Grejen med Norge är att det regnar, när det regnar är det värdelöst, med bra väder, är det otroligt.
I’ve enjoyed the series, great scenery. Surprised at the choice of naked bikes in that weather.
Autoban, den har man inte hört på 35 år!👍
What an awesome, amazing video you produced. Stunning scenery with those clouds and the mountains, like a fairytale so beautiful. Thanks for taking us with you shame that it was the last day 😢 but boy, what a nice one. 🤗Take care and ride safe. 🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
What an adventure and beautifully summarized making me feel sad that I could only watch it on a screen and not partake. The beauty and grandeur of Norway cannot be overestimated nor can its switchback tight twisting roads. A true adventure for any rider( with rain gear)!
Vilken otroligt fin sammanfattning på slutet! Det har varit så kul att kolla på denna serie och se de från en deltagares sida! Och snart rullar vi igen, underbart!!😊
The way you concluded the vid gave me a thrilling nostalgia!
A lovely way to conclude an adventure~
Nu längtar jag tillbaka till Norge, vad bra att det snart är dags igen!
Ja, det ska bli fantastiskt! :D
Hei på er svensker, trollstigen betyr "trolls ladder"..... og på 13.20 er Trollveggen "trolls wall". 1000 meter loddrett stup men toppene opp mot 1700 meter. Kjent sted for basehoppere. 🙂 Velkommen åter!
Haha tack! Inte alltid lätt med Norska :) Jag har fixat beskrivningen
absolutely amazing.. thanks for the share
That's amazing.. I really love your channel, I'll definitely bring my bike to Norway..
Dere er i Lom å spiser lunsj, ikke Fossberg. Lom stavkirke ikke Foss stavkirke. Ellers en fin film 👍🏼
Tack för att du pekar ut detta - google maps var lite otydlig tyckte jag :)
What a nice epic scenery with that mountains covered in snow, the black rocks, that blue/black colored lake and that back to green. Just stunning episode again. Thanks for showing us your magnificent footage. We also keep an eye on our GoPro. It is a shame that you have to do so. Can’t wait to see what the last day will bring. 👍🏻🙋♀️🙋♂️🏍️🏍️
Fin serie, ser frem til fortsettelsen!

My "backyard" and hometown Jørpeland. So glad to see that you took the detour just after the ferry, a great curvy and fun road to ride 👌👌
I work at the forestry department and we cut the grass under prekestolen during tourist season to make it look nice and to make it easier to find people after they fall from the cliff. I'm now going to tell a secret and you must promise to not spread it. Deal? According to non-official data every year 12-15 persons fell off the cliff (and dies off course). But they don't want tourists to be scared and not come so they don't really like to spread the statistics - and no official data is therefore given). Anyway, my colleague was hit by a stone last summer and I'm starting to think it was the stone you dropped from the cliff? Please be considerate when you are at the cliff and don't throw water-bottles, stones, oild drums and sewing machines, etc from the cliff (don't ask why I mentioned those objects specifically). We will appreciate it a lot.
I see you have some Classic Norwegian weather on this trip. :) Norway is such a beautiful country to ride motorcycle in but unfortunately alot of rain ..
Jeg bare kjører når det er sol og 20 C.
OMG. Good that you took a look. 😮👍🏻
Haha right?!
Thankfully the nausea and headaches past away and you could enjoy the beautiful environment. We enjoyed this episode very much. 👍🏻
Oh, you gonna love the mountains this year! Its going to be more spectacular erlier in the summer!
I can't wait! There's a few places we definitely need a second chance to see!
Grymma filmer! Blir en sub och massor likes. Någon chans du har rutten i GPX-format eller liknande?
As new episodes come, much intensifying sceneries are unfolding. Thanks, Dave!
Efter regn kommer solsken. Därför krånglar man inte och sätter på sig regnställ 🤣. Tack för ännu en fantastisk film! Om knappt 6månader går resan av stapeln igen och det finns fortfarande platser kvar...just saying 😉👍
Nu har jag lärt mig för nästa gång iaf ;)
Well Done, the Norwegian tourist board owes you! Excellent material for my VR bike ride sessions. 🖖
Scary part through the clouds 😮 with the right music 👍🏻 thank you for taking us with you.
Happy you enjoyed it! Those clouds were really eerie - I've never before encountered conditions where visibility was so bad the oncoming traffic actually took me by surprise. At 19:35 , there's an RV that really just... appears out of nowhere. That happened a few times!
@@SwedeRider we had once, in the Swiss Alps, on top the situation that we ended in the clouds, that we had to ride 5km a hour. That was also really scary. So we know how you must have felt when that RV just pops up out of noting. 🙁to late to warn the riders behind you.
5 out of 5!, with fantastic music. What a road! I felt the journey. Amazing switchbacks. Looked a little scary, but so much fun. Damn wish I was there
Water in your boot(s). I hope you were wearing heavy wool socks! 🙂
0:16 0:16 This excellent series of videos allows those of us that are not riders to share an amazing experience. Riding along on David’s motorcycle through the Norwegian mountains I was able to submerge myself into the illusion that I was actually there. This was enhanced by the fact that I watched the video on my Oculus Quest 2 headset while on my static bike. I regularly use the program VZfit with an attached cadence meter that allows virtual biking using Google images and control of the bike speed. This of course was not available in the videos, but still I somehow felt I was on the bike. This was due to the excellent way the video was edited and the choice of camera view. The sound track was also well chosen and added much to the experience. Thank you David for providing us with such an entertaining piece of work!
Nice trip
Riktigt bra videos. Sitter o planerar sommarens semester. Österrike eller Norge?
Really enjoyed this series! Norway is a truly beautiful country - as is Sweden I’m sure! Are there any more episodes to come? All the best from the UK.
Hi! Really glad to hear you enjoyed the series - the next episode -has- been lagging, but it's in the works!
Perfect ride, perfect team ride.
Hi from Turkey. Can you share you all your norway route on google maps or something for rider? Thank you very much. Have a good ride.
@@SwedeRider thank you very much. I will wait your own route. Have a good year.
❤❤❤
Amazing roads and getting lost just adds to the adventure sometimes 🤣
After watching and enjoying all episodes of your Norway motorbike trip I decided it was definately worth a subscibtion. Fantastic footage and a very pleasant way of discribing the things you see and feel. Looking forward to much more motorbike footage. Cheers and thx for sharing!!
Loved it brother love from Bhutan 🇧🇹
Thanks so much! How are the roads in Bhutan?
Do you have any gpx routes available to share please
Let me look into that. I -do- have the gpx routes, but this trip wasn't planned by me, but by the Swedish Motorcycling Association. I wouldn't want to share it willy nilly without asking them first.
A good answer I think it is! You nailed it! Robert M Pirsig did also a good job answering the question, What is it that makes it so special, in the book Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
Bin there, done that - I like your garage aproce, looking forward to more "how too's
Well done -- and with a special thanks to your compatriot Alfred Nobel, whose invention helped a lot with both roads and tunnels.
Wow. That is some epic motorcycle travels.
Thanks again for posting, usually Norway needs two visits, one in each direction in case you missed a view behind you, but this part, either Snow Road or Laerdal tunnel would need four passes, having also gone through the tunnel and your pass on snow road, just need another visit to reverse the route. You are showing why this is the best place for motorcycles, great videos.
