What a view of the bay at 5:40min, thanks for bringing such a beautiful place to me here in CA. No scratch no fun! Dang! Dinner just walked into the campsite.😳
Brilliant. I've toured both islands of New Zealand and you travelled familiar roads. Such a beautiful country and so easy for camping and biking. Good clear audio and great videos too. 👍
I really like the way you are doing the opening credits for your supporters, very clear, concise, classy. Sorta like our PBS does it, although they read the names of the supporters
Thanks Robert, glad to hear! Being out in nature is one of the things I enjoy most about traveling, so I try my best to share this experience 😊 So nice seeing so many new species in a new country 😃
Superb production Runa. Your voice, the information, excellent music, stunning visuals, the map zooms, and your attitude even when cussing...could watch and rewatch for hours..you are a pro. Thanks.
I'm impressed, your editing, music and camerawok is spot on. You'r doing great on gravel...just keep the momentum up and it will be fine. BTW, I am an icecream monster 🙂... Big thanks!! Stort Tack Runa!!
Jolies chaussettes ! Efficaces contre les bestioles qui piquent ?😂 Je viens de terminer ta magnifique saison 5 et j'enchaine sur celle ci. J'apprécie énormément la simplicité et le naturel qui se dégagent de tes vidéos.👌 Continue comme ça. ✌Salut motard du sud-ouest de la France. ✌

Yikes on the crash! Glad you did not show the actual event. I’d have to hide under my bed until it was over. Post spill ice cream helps 😁😂 Beautiful video, thank you for continuing to share your magical trip.
Haha! I wish I had it on camera, but unfortunately it was one of the few times I had NONE of my three cameras going! 😂 It was all very slow motion so no worries! And thank you, glad you like it! 😊
Usually yes! But not when the bike is not your property 🫠 I borrowed this one from Husqvarna New Zealand! I know they wanted me to use it how it was intended to and put it through it's paces but still...
Thank you Runa for yet another amazing episode. Falling over start to become a habit for more than you I can tell. The first time it was a little embarrassing, but now, it’s just a part of the riding 🤔 if I remember correctly you started your traveling career by falling over the first day on your trip on Arnold 🤔 I guess you have, like me, lost the counting 😅 Really looking forward for more episodes and crossing my fingers for 90K before end of June 🤩
Glad to hear I'm not the only one! And you remember well 😂 First time with a fully loaded bike leaving for my first trip, I take up the side stand and BOOM, fall into my neighbor's bushes 😂
Hi runa, just found your channel and watched your latest video, and really enjoyed it, what some beautiful scenery, sorry to see you come off on the gravel but glad you didn't hurt yourself, I look forward to watching some more of your videos,I have just subscribed to your channel, Best wishes from Roy in England, A fellow biker for 50 years and counting 😊.
Hi, Roy! Welcome aboard, glad to have you 😃 Coming off the bike every now and then is all part of the game, as I'm sure you have experienced after 50 years! Just gotta be glad when we, and the bikes don't get injured 😊
Oh no! I dropped my bike this last Thursday (end of May). When I stopped in a car park at Castle Hill village, the front wheel ended on a stone on a piece of wood and skidded out. Luckily two guys helped me pick Angel up. When you came closer to Whites bay, I thought surely you will stop, but you went pass! Its a beautiful bay. Sandflies are worse on the Westcoast the more you go down South. Get some off sandfly spray, it helps. We lived in Blenheim. Loved it there. Lake Rotoiti is my favourite place at St Arnaud. Safe travels.
Thanks for another genteel episode😊. Some beautiful scenery. Nice to see you could catch up with someone you know. Do you not travel with bug repellant? I get nasty welts from bug bites, especially itchy ones, so I carry bug spray on my travels. Cheers
Thank you! 😃 I did not bring bug repellant, but I sure quickly bought some after my first meetings with the sand flies 😂 I thought mosquitoes and biting midges (knott) were bad, but the itch from these bites were next level! Tea three oil and eucalyptus oils seemed popular in NZ, both to prevent bites and soothe the itch. Worked pretty well!
Riding through beautiful NZ with Runa, it just gets better every video. "Pretty freaking loose" and Oopsie, glad there was no harm done Runa.😲 Was a perfect corner to do some slow speed power sliding though. Just need a wee bit more practice on that type of loose gravel on a hard surface and you'll be sweet Runa. Looking forward to the next episode. Great Drone footage again, thanks for taking us along again.🤩🤩🦘🦘
Oh just wait for it, it's gonna keep getting better for a while! South Island was epic! 😍 I do have to practice my power slides, I know for sure I would enjoy it more if I had more control of the bike! 😊
@@OffSheGoesADV Hi Runa, after 50yrs of riding dirt & road bikes, I have so much knowledge I wish I could just transfer to you in an instant (mind meld ?🤣), but what I have seen in your journeys is that you have become a much more confident and skilful rider. I take my hat off to you and your adventurous charming spirit. Those adventure type tyres are of course a compromise between dirt riding and road riding and don't have the same bite of pure knobby tyres on that surface, as you know. Those soft gravel berms on the outside of corners can either be a trap or great fun, depends on your experience Runa. So keep on learning, one day you will cruise around those "Pretty Freaking Loose" gravel corners, foot down, little bit of power on, little bit of counter steer, without even thinking. 😍🤩👍 🦘🦘
The pond where you camped in St Arnaud is the skating rink in the winter, you can rent skates by the gas station. A shame you didn't go down to the big lake & look at the eels beside the jetty.
I did go down to the lake, as I hoped to camp at some of the campings there but it was all full! Didn't capture any footage from the spot, but the lake was stunning, lot's of people out by the water 😊
It was so great to meet up with you Runa. Thank you for taking time from your day to sit and chat. Interesting place you camped at Teetotal campsite. During winter the square of water that you could quickly see when you zoomed in actually freezes over and you are able to ice skate on it. About the only place in the upper South Island you could do that. Looking forward to your continuing adventure.
Thank you and likewise, Glenn! 😊 Hope to see you again sometime. That's cool to have an ice skating place like that. Does most places not get col enough for the water to freeze over thick enough for ice skating?
@@OffSheGoesADV With the travel you do hopefully we get to meet again 😊 In the upper South Island it is impossible to find some water that is safe enough to ice skate on.
first time that i am seing your channel, nice, very nice . Your comments are very smooth and easy with a nice voice too! I am a subscriber of : on her bike and itchy booths, and in french with : Lolo Cochet. i will subscribe to your channel too ! Of course, i like to camp and travel on motorcycle with all the gears. I am just coming back from a trip in : Gaspésie north of province of Quebec. A bit far from New Zeland! I am riding on V strom 650 XT. not too heavy! Have great and safe trips . 👍
it sure is! It feels even worse when it's not your own bike 😳 Although I KNOW they don't mind, and rather would see the bike put to proper use! If this is proper use, can be discussed, though 😂
Runa, Im enjoying your video's,Have you considered a Sea to Summit pocket shower for in your kit? I wont leave home without it! 130 gram shower, a bowl of hot water and 2 of cold gives a refreshing shower on a trip. Im from Marlborough New Zealand and enjoying your video's. 😊
Another great video, seems camping and just doing anything these days requires reservations, it’s almost getting to the point where it’s not worth it, it’s getting crazy here in the states but every year it’s worse it seems. Be safe, look forward to the next Rob U.S.
Hi, Rob! I've heard that camping can be a struggle in the US because of reservations. That is a pity. Coming from Norway where wild camping is allowed, that is a new issue to encounter. Although I can see why it is necessary with a larger population. Hopefully there will be more camp sites available in the future! How are the average prices for camping there, with just a tent?
I did this in 2015 with my wife on the back and the luggage, the forgotten highway was a bit hairy 2 up on a BMW 1200gs apart from that the roads and scenery was made for motorbikes
The birds at the beginning are pukeko. We do have problems with overseas tourists on the right (wrong) side of the road You put 'Tumarina', it is really Tua Marina, I had friends farming there. I lived in Blenheim for several years in the 1960s. The bird at 16.47 is a weka. Blenheim is pronounced 'Blennim'. In those days, the road to St Arnaud was all gravel. Have fun!
Hi Runa , think your camping spot is where Kinga could not find her tent pegs, as she too had problems finding an ideal overnighter space. Yes them bleeding sand flies are everywhere but if like our Scottish Midgies a trick to use to deter them is human urine, as awful as that sounds it works.
Agreed! Well actually there is another one, it's as far away from Norway as it could possible get 😂 But hey, just makes you enjoy it even more once you go there!
😂 brings back memories of my first experience on the opposite side of the road in Iceland except it was, “right…keep to the right!” At least I was well adjusted to the change by the time I reached 🇳🇴
It does take some time to get used to! And after a month riding in the left side, it was even challenging to come back to Norway and ride on the right side again 😂🤯
Stunning drone footage! That shit of the Wairau valley was incredible! Also nice to meet up with other riders in nz. Hope Glen's 10th tt2000 went well?
Thank you! Seeing places form above sure changes the perspective a bit, so much beauty 😊 Glenn did well I think, you can check out his videos from the event at @kiwimotoadv 😃
Tiny windy roads are always awesome - especially with al the surrounding bush, made me feel like I was riding in the jungle 😁 The water is in general clean, BUT there is a lot of farming (cows) so some lakes and fjords are so polluted it's recommended to not even dip your feet in it.
@@OffSheGoesADV thank you for your kind reply. I'm in Nordkapp and tomorrow I'll start the way down the Norwegian coast. Weather hasn't been too good to me these days 😅
It did take me some time getting used to it for sure! But it got easier by the day, and now I'm not as worried about traveling to a country riding on the left side again 😊
How tall are you, and don't stretch it.? I'm not knocking your riding skills, honestly I believe you would be most happy on a Husqvarna 501 Enduro. You know the saying SOMETIMES LESS IS MORE. I would like to ride on the back with you. Enjoyed the video and RIDE SAFE OUT THERE.
Hi, Henry! I am 175cm, and the boots probably add 2-3cm on top of that 😊 The seat height of the 501 is actually almost 5 inches taller than the Norden 901. With a taller fuel tank, and the luggage sitting taller, I don't think I would have had fun riding it on my travels. The Norden 901 has it's fuel tank so low, making it very nimble and easy to ride despite it's size, AND I can reach the ground with half a foot on each side 😊 I love it, trust it, and have gained a lot of confidence on this bike. It's also a lot more comfortable and gentle on the throttle than the 501 (I have tried it). So I'll stick with it for now 😃 So many good options out there though, so everyone can find something to their liking! 😊

Hi Runa , think your camping spot is where Kinga could not find her tent pegs, as she too had problems finding an ideal overnighter space. Yes them bleeding sand flies are everywhere but if like our Scottish Midgies a trick to use to deter them is human urine, as awful as that sounds it works.
Too bad it's a bit hard to spread that around as a girl *crab walk* 😂 That is interesting though!
