I was there in 2014. It was the best biker experience I have ever had. The mileage was tough 7,200km in 11 days. Started in Oslo drove up through Sweden, Finland the Tri international border (Norway Finland Russia) near Kirkenes. On up to Nordkapp. Then south traveling down the beautiful west coast. Taking in Tromso, Lofoten Islands, Geirangerfjord, Bergen, Preikestolen and then back to Oslo. Please don't let the expensive reputation put you off. All in all It was a cheap holiday. We mostly camped and sometimes used a cabin. Petrol was not crazy maybe a bit higher then home (Ireland) but not much. Shop in supermarkets mentioned. The only thing we noticed and to watch out for is most places closes at 9pm. Most importantly no access to campsites if you are caught late getting to a destination. Wild camping may not always be an option. As for alcohol, we only had a drink in the last night in Oslo. Nothing remarkable cost wise. WORD OF WARNING! One of our group was done for speeding in Bergen by an unmarked police car (all blacked out Audi). He got fined 7,800nok (743e). It was our second last day and a bit of a bummer to the end of the holiday. We were all well warned about strict traffic laws and expensive speeding fines. It is difficult to get from Ireland to mainland Europe, for time saving we used a company where they took our bikes a week before, with all the luggage to Oslo. So bikes were delivered and ready to go when we arrived. We flew from Dublin to Oslo (Rigg) with just biker gear and helmet. It saved about 7-8 days of traveling
If campsites are "closed" or no one at the reception, you can find yourself a spot for tent and just talk with them the next day. If you need to rent a cabin it may be worse. But you can always call in early and book a place and let them stick the key in the door for you :-) Yes, speeding in Norway are not recommended :-P

Great info Thomas, thanks for making this video. As a norwegian I might take the opportunity to add a couple of things: 1. One can camp for free in Norway. Unlike most other countries everybody is allowed to camp almost everywhere, but not on farmed land and minimum 100-150 meters away from nearest inhabited house. 2. Unlike most other countries around the world most norwegian shops, grocery shops, supermarkeds, farmacies, hardware stores, clothing stores etc etc are closed on sundays. There are a few exceptions from this but in general most shops are closed on sundays. Thus do your shopping monday to saturday...
Kurt Gøran Andersen i did skip the wildcamping part in this video because the subject is so popular i think i need to make a own video in just that subject when the season starts again! I tought Sunday was closed all around Europe? I did not know this, thank for that info mate
I went to the Nord Cape July 1983 with my Goldwing 1100 and 2 other bikers .It was an amazing trip, 8800 km from Belgium ,Germany ,Denmark Sweden, Norway and back via Finland.I have plans to do it again ,but now more straight to the Nordcape and back. Norway is a very beautiful country . Interesting video too,well done .
Thank you Eric... well, I was 1 year old when you head out on that trip. Crazy how time flies. The way up to North-Cape can be long and boring, for me, I always stick to to longest road one of the ways. Cheers mate, glad you liked it. 👏🏻

Thank you for the video and I love your country! I traveled in Norway with a motorcycle during the summers of 2017 and 2018. It was absolutely majestic, constant jaw-dropping vistas, safe, and very good roads everywhere. One thing that I'd like to add is that even in July, the high mountain passes could get very cold and and you need to bring extra layers and wind/waterproof gloves.
Hello Peter, and thank you for the comment :-) Norway is amazing in so many ways. And yes, even at summer there can be alot of snow in the mountains and it can be really cold :-) Things like this is easy for us who live here to take for granted.
Excellent video, thank you! I am currently watching Noraly of Itchy Boots as she rides through Scandinavia. Just this morning she posted her video of visiting North Cape. I would love to visit Norway with my wife and ride through this beautiful country.
I just heard about she being here myself. To bad she has a 2 week delay on her videos, would be nice to meat up when she was here. I will be going up there next year myself. You should put Norway on the bucket list. It is one of the most beautiful countrys in the world. Thank you for stepping buy 🔥
We have made Nordkapp trip on motorbikes from Prague, few years ago. Norway is beautiful country with fantastic people. It still one of the best moto trip we have ever done and I am missing Norway so much. Only weather can be tricky, but we have had rain only for 5 days (in a row) and then +15C and sunshine! 🌞
Glad you had a great time here :-) Norway is truly a hidden gem, and i hope to show a little bit more of what Norway has to offer in the future. So many places that are worth a visit :-) The weather can be a challenge sometimes, but if you plan your trip on the months that are lowest on rain, you can get lucky :-) Hope to see you back some time. Cheers
I Really like this one. I did Kristiansand - Nordkapp in 2020 and absolutely fell in love with Norway and the North, The arctic feel and overwhelming scenery. I will try to go this year again. I love your channel! Excellent drone footage!!
Thank you sir, I'm currently working on an updated version and much more informative version of this. Hope that can help more people to navigate how to travel in Norway.
I'm glad to discover this channel! Never thought that there are mosquitoes in Norway 😁 I'm thinking to visit this country next year so your video it's very informative! Greetings from Romania!
Thank you mate :-) Glad you found it informativ. Ohh yes, the mosquitos can be a pain :-P When you visit Norway, feel free to send me a message if you need any tips. Ride safe
I have a perfect substance for scaring away all those little critters. Where i live we have also millions of those tiny and hardly visible mosquitos. My dad always did call them Jehova flies. Because if you would hit yourself on your right side of your face another couple of hundreds would attack you on your left en vica versa. Don't know if you have the same breed as we have in Holland but ours do not sting. They take little bites out of your skin and go dizzling in your ear. And when you want to try to sqeeze then with you finger they go futher and futher in your earcanal.😬 But what i have got works great but the stuff is also used by hunters to attrack boars.😇 Life is about making choices is it not?😂
Very interesting and useful video! Norway is a wonderful country; Norwegians are really polite, kind and respectful; no problems with police, alcohol, prices, but the mosquitos almost killed me in the north ... I can't wait to go back, for the third consecutive year!
Thank you 👏🏻 Norway is truly amazing in many ways. And yes, the mosquitos can be a really pain in some parts of the country. We can't wait for people to get back here, so hope to se open borders again soon. Cheers 🔥
thank you for all this informations . it's important to know this for us . the accomodation, the life ,the rules , the speed limit , yesss !!! there is a long time i wait to go to the north cap ..may be in 2022 ...thank's fot this video . good ride in your beautifull country
Very nice and informative video Thomas, good news about Nordkapp and ferries. I have a EasyGo Plus box that work in Denmark, Austria, Norway and other countries for my RV, good that ferries are included as well (worked at ferries between Denmark and Germany also since vefore). I found seafood very low cost at the stores so we ate more of those delicatesses last time in Norway. Gas are no more expensive than over here.
Thank you Mattias :-) Yeah, the Nordkapp fee is almost embarrassing. It's sickening that privat company's has been allowed to take charged for a piece of land that every citizen ownes. Yeah, the Autopass is good if you have a deal with them. 50% off the price but i dont know how it works for tourist, and if you can get a card that last the time you are here? The RV community may have much more information about this. Seafood are fresh and cheap in Norway. Same with some of the meat. You just need to know what to look for. I think gas/fuel are the same price in most part of Europe
Thank you for sharing these very useful tips and easing up awareness of your beautiful country. I would be traveling there for work soon and actually planning on renting a motorcycle instead of a car
So glad to hear you found this info useful 👏🏻 Renting a motorcycle can be expensive in Norway, just keep that in mind. But it is the best way to travel our beautiful country 🇳🇴
These were very good tipps of you for all Norway-cycle-trip...thanks a lot for that an stay healthy ...:-)) greatings from west-germany (near cologne)...Felix
We have just finished the planning of trip to Nordkapp! This year ,if everything stays well ,we are on the road. From Serbia to Bosnia and then here we go....to Nordkapp. This video is realy realy realy usefull to me. Thank's !
@@tshansen I am sure we will have a great time. Thank you Bro! Who knows maybe we run to itch other while we are on the road. Stay safe,stay cool,and make more videos ,all are good! You and Big Rock Moto ,are the reason why I had gave up from buying KTM 790 adventure r,and why I have decided to buy Tenere WR. And I didn't regreat it !!!)
@@Underthehelm If we do, make sure to stop and say hello 🤩 Always appreciate meeting likeminded people on the road. Stay safe mate, and really glad to hear you avoided KTM. They have some serious work to do before I trust that brand with my money again. Cheers
Thanx for this kind hints and sympathic "teaching". I.ve been in NOR in 2018 and it was by far the best trip I.ve ever done (except of British Columbia). This year I will visit Norway again on my BMW 1150 GSA (called "das Eisenschwein" --> iron pig). I am very happy to come again, and I loved the calm riding because of speed limits and the very nice people everywhere!!! Thanx, Henry 👍🤓
@@tshansen Thanx Thomas, I hope, the weather can play a little more charming than the last weeks. A nasty deep from Irish sea is rather stubborn at the time. Have nice days, grettings, Henry
En great film, bra info, ungefär samma förutsättningar som i grannlandet ditt :-) I will for sure go summer 2021 if the virus dont mess it up completely. You cant drive away from it either, with smoke of rubber and gases..not with the hefty fines we have in our countrys :-) Tack för bra film
Ja, håper det blir mulig å krysse grensene til Sverige i løpet av sommeren. Har lyst å fullføre svenske TET før jeg fortsetter noen dager oppe i Nord-Norge. Glad du likte filmen. 🔥
@@tshansen Ja något blir det i sommar. Kanske någon del av TET. Planen var resa över Karpaterna. Nu får jag utforska Sverige och förhoppningsvis Norge istället. Stay safe
Thank you for this video! I hope to your Norway in the next year and this has been very helpful. I grew up in the other Norway known as Minnesota, USA and have always wanted to visit the home land. I hope you are enjoying your 790 R as much as I am enjoying mine! Ripping machine!! Roost on and cheers! 🍻
Chad Bjerken hope to see you here... it’s a great place to visit. Had some family many years ago who went to america, but never visit them! They are on my bucket list for sure. I just love my 790R, best machine i have owned so far... cheers mate 🍻
Excellent ! IMO, the 2 best things about Norway are the people, who like yourself Thomas, have been exceptionally welcoming and of course the Norwegian countryside. In fact, I must reply to some friends from there now :-) Cheers Wayne.
Pyrenean Paraphernalia thank you mate ☺️ appreciate it. The Norwegian people are kinda honest give alot if you get to know them. Only sad part is that some is hard to get to know. Cheers
Fantastic Thomas and I was wondering how your English was so good!! I would love to tour Norway on a motorbike but getting there would be a problem from Canada lol. You present yourself and Norway as a much quieter and slower pace life style than North America. I realise you are filming out in the countryside but your drone aerials close to towns does not show tons of cars etc. I kinda chuckled that you leave a camera on a tripod and then film yourself riding past it for a while and of course you would need to go back and pick it up but here I am afraid someone would quickly pull over and take it before you got back to where it was!!
Haha, thank you Mike 😇 It is a looong way from Canada, but I guess you guys have areas that looks similar to what we have in Norway? Hehe, I have never been to Canada myself, so I'm not sure how to compare, but here in Norway we are only about 5 million living here. So it is a large country with a lot of space. And that is one of the best things about living here to be honest 🙈 leave the camera behind here in Norway has never been a problem. I guess there are places in Europe I would be more worried 😉
@@tshansen Thomas Hansen last week in July first week in August. We did the coast of Scotland last year and thought it would be a bit more of an adventure to venture a little further! Thank you for the offer of advice.... I'll probably take you up on that a little closer to the time
Fantastic video, many thanks for the information. I'm heading to Norway on my Bike via Finland early September 2020, up to Grense Jacobselv then to Nordkapp before heading south via Lofoten, Route 17 and the Atlantic Road.
Hello David. Glad you found it informativ. I know more about the AutoPass now. Or, they do so now under the covid-19... the ferry crew take a picture of your licenseplate on the ferry and you get a invoice some weeks later. adding up on the ferry trips you have taken. Cheers
@@tshansen Hmmmm in juli 2020 i took a lot of ferries from different carriers. They always took a picture of my license plate. But I never received an invoice when back in the Netherlands. Automation needs a tweak i guess. I am planning to go back to Norway. I hope they don't remember me
I'm planing a trip to North Cape myself next year. Hope to get 3 weeks on the road here in Norway. Try to make some video about the whole journey with places to see, camp etc 👍🏻
@@dimitrifromsydney Wow... that makes me so glad to hear mate 🤩 Appreciate that and I will make much more in the upcoming months. Just need my new bike to arrive 🙈 Cheers
Hello Thomas, the best product against mosquitos and black flikes is definitely citronnela oil, which can be bought in any pharmacy. Jjust put some on a bandana around your throut, some on your hans and in your hair and you'll be OK. In addition, keep a mosquikto net hat, that can be bought in most sporting goods stores and you can enjoy both nature and being outside, even in the summer. Good video with useful info!
That is a great tip! I need to try that here in sweden! I never seen so much mosquitos before! Everytime i stop my bike i’m swarmed! Takes the fun out of camping for sure
Thanks for this informative video Mate! Hope to visit Norway soon on my bike, when possible and borders are re-opened. Sure wil visit the beautiful Bergen.
Hahaha, we should switch one time, i really want to ride in your country as well mate 🤣🔥 it’s high on my bucket list, so hope one day i can manage to get away from til A4 life and travel much more
@@tshansen You've got me thinking mate. Look up remote moto in NZ. The most organised and comprehensive trip and adventure planning site on the globe. Races to Places couldn't speak highly enough about it when he visited NZ. Download gps data of all grades of adventure rides. You really peaked my interest with the facts needed to know about touring your country. Watch this space friend.
Thanks for that great to know, took at trip to the arctic circle last year in the motorhome amazing country, and planning on taking the bike next trip.
I have consider a motorhome for quite some time now... another amazing way to explore our country :-) Glad you liked it. Will try to make a video about wildcamping soon.
Congrats for this priceless and useful information. 1.- I'll have to say that no road toll charge for motorcycles was a huge surprise. I had the idea that motorcycles will pay road and bridge crossing toll. 2.- I'll myself get into trouble if i roam in the countryside? You see besides the TET (trans euro trail - offroad) i like to discover new enduro trails and also create new offroad trails. Solo riding. Its forbiden or a fine will be waiting for me in the norwegian border? Thanks.
Glad you found it useful mate. One of the many positive things with riding motorcycle in Norway. No Toll on the Normal roads. But keep in mind, there is some toll to be paid on some of the gravel roads around. You will find a sign or gate to pass with information where you need to pay. Some of them is automatic. (They take picture of you behind) No, you will not be in trouble if you roam the countryside, but riding in nature or on hiking paths is strictly forbidden. Gravel roads are fine (off-road) Fire roads and trail are a question about definition. You will be stoped and charged by the police on the sight, nothing will happened on the border. The odds for meeting police out in the Forrest or on remote gravel roads are another question. Like it will never happen 😂
that was interesting . I was already at nord cap but i will need to go again as i only had rain and very cold temperatures in july aug. so i need to explore norway a bit further. next time
Great list, l think you cover it all. Nye tunnelen mellom strand og Stavanger åpnet i da.,fantastisk flott tunnel som er verdt en tur ,å jeg slipper ferje til jobb.
azdesertdog you never know! But i do understand what you mean! There is so many places, so the best option is to live life to the fullest no matter where you go 👏🏻 thank you, enjoy your stuff as well mate, happy new year
I agree. But just that. Cafes, restaurants and food at gas stations is often what drives visitors away. Price wise! To pay 40 NOK for a bad cup of coffee on a ferry is just WILD.
@@psvennevig That is so true! but i think it's like this in every country in Europe. I hope to make a video at the end of next season about what, and where to eat when on the road in Norway. The cheap way of spending your time here. There are so many people that are just going to buy a icecream, coffe or small sandwich and the price for that in the "normal" tourist places are robbery. I'm embarrassed by the greed some the Norwegian shop's share in tourist season.
very usefull vid, i bookmarked it because i'm planning a trip to the nordkapp next year. gonna play this vid alot i think :). keep up the good work, and ride safe
full on in the wind glad you found it usefull mate! I will try to make a video about freecamping and the what not when camping in Norway in the next months! If you have any question about Norway, feel free to send me a message 👍🏻☺️
Was doing a roadtrip from Österbotten/Finland to Norway through Skiboth-Alta-North Cape and Kirkenes) this summer. And I swear, as soon as we crossed the border from Finland and entered Norway all the mosquitoes was gone. You may have the beautiful mountains and Fjords, but in Finland we have the mosquitoes..
Hahaha, yes... the myth says that Finland has huge mosquitoes, and much more of them. It may be true, i have just ridden in Finland once, so i'm not really familiar with the local stuff flying around 🤣
@@tshansen Myth is true ;) In case you decide to re-visit Finland I can recommend areas around Saimaa (4th largest lake in Europe) near Savonlinna and Lappeenranta. Was riding my Tenere 700 there this summer and enjoied it. Good combination of cities and nature.
@@ThePPTP2 Thank you, that is some good advice. A guy reach out to me earlier this season and told me to search for "uimaranta" when i come to Finland again. yes i will be back and do the TET over there. Looks like you have some really beautiful places everyone should visit.
Thanks for this video and the information, I went to visit my friend and his family last year by plane because I had limited days off of work. When I flew from Oslo to Trondheim, I was looking out the window for the entire flight and I have to say.... I immediately fell in love, gorgeous country and very nice, albeit a bit reserved people. If all goes to plan, I will be driving from Belgium to Norway in September and stay for about a month, going to put my bike on a trailer so I can bring more stuff since I will have to work remotely from time to time. Do you have any recommendations for routes or scenery around Trondheim and Stjørdal to ride with my bike? I would ask my friend but he probably won't know since he is that one Norwegian guy that doesn't like to go outside 😂
@@tshansen I would love to ride on gravel since I bought a CRF300 Rally but in Belgium there is hardly a non tarmac road you can ride legally 😊 My guess is that the gravel roads are doable with 80/20 tires? Otherwise I will throw on my knobbies before I leave 😎
Great info, I was especially curious on the procedure when boarding the ferries, thank you very much. Planning an adventure Bike tour of Norway in June 2020!
Great video again! Keep them coming! Personally, my number eleven would be to always have your Credit Card and a few NOK in cash ready. Some of the best backcountry roads and trails are private property and require payment at automated toll stations.
eki_adv thank you ☺️ i’m going to make a separate video about TET and gravel roads in Norway, and shine a light on the wildcamping possiblitys and what not to do 👍🏻 glad you liked it
Haha, yeah... it sound's like you have been up north :-P There can be some challanges towards fuel in the northern parts of Norway. I hope to cover more about this in one of the follow up videos next season. I need some material to show for, but i will cover some of the challanges up north :-) Cheers, and thank you
It's not the placement of the license plate that makes the speed cameras flash (take your picture), it's actually because motorcycles don't have enough mass/metal to trip the camera. No matter how fast you go with a motorcycle in Norway, they will not flash. Although, I do not recommend going too fast, because traffic fines in Norway usually start at $80 and upwards to $1000. Stay safe :)

Thank you mate :-) Glad you found it informativ. Ohh yes, the mosquitos can be a pain :-P When you visit Norway, feel free to send me a message if you need any tips. Ride safe
I have a perfect substance for scaring away all those little critters. Where i live we have also millions of those tiny and hardly visible mosquitos. My dad always did call them Jehova flies. Because if you would hit yourself on your right side of your face another couple of hundreds would attack you on your left en vica versa.
Don't know if you have the same breed as we have in Holland but ours do not sting. They take little bites out of your skin and go dizzling in your ear. And when you want to try to sqeeze then with you finger they go futher and futher in your earcanal.😬
But what i have got works great but the stuff is also used by hunters to attrack boars.😇 Life is about making choices is it not?😂
Very interesting and useful video! Norway is a wonderful country; Norwegians are really polite, kind and respectful; no problems with police, alcohol, prices, but the mosquitos almost killed me in the north ... I can't wait to go back, for the third consecutive year!
Thank you 👏🏻 Norway is truly amazing in many ways. And yes, the mosquitos can be a really pain in some parts of the country. We can't wait for people to get back here, so hope to se open borders again soon. Cheers 🔥
Hello from North Wales, UK!
Thanks for the valuable information!
All the best for 2021 and beyond! 👍😁
Hello Mark 👏🏻🔥 glad you found it usefull mate. Stay safe and all the best to you as well
thank you for all this informations . it's important to know this for us . the accomodation, the life ,the rules , the speed limit , yesss !!! there is a long time i wait to go to the north cap ..may be in 2022 ...thank's fot this video . good ride in your beautifull country
you are welcome mate, glad you found it helpful 🔥
Very nice and informative video Thomas, good news about Nordkapp and ferries. I have a EasyGo Plus box that work in Denmark, Austria, Norway and other countries for my RV, good that ferries are included as well (worked at ferries between Denmark and Germany also since vefore). I found seafood very low cost at the stores so we ate more of those delicatesses last time in Norway. Gas are no more expensive than over here.
Thank you Mattias :-) Yeah, the Nordkapp fee is almost embarrassing. It's sickening that privat company's has been allowed to take charged for a piece of land that every citizen ownes. Yeah, the Autopass is good if you have a deal with them. 50% off the price but i dont know how it works for tourist, and if you can get a card that last the time you are here? The RV community may have much more information about this. Seafood are fresh and cheap in Norway. Same with some of the meat. You just need to know what to look for. I think gas/fuel are the same price in most part of Europe
Excellent advice and the more of your videos I watch, the more I want to visit; thanks for sharing👍😁👌
Thank you mate 😉🔥 glad you like my content 👏🏻🍻
Thank you for sharing these very useful tips and easing up awareness of your beautiful country. I would be traveling there for work soon and actually planning on renting a motorcycle instead of a car
So glad to hear you found this info useful 👏🏻 Renting a motorcycle can be expensive in Norway, just keep that in mind. But it is the best way to travel our beautiful country 🇳🇴
These were very good tipps of you for all Norway-cycle-trip...thanks a lot for that an stay healthy ...:-)) greatings from west-germany (near cologne)...Felix
Thank you Felix… glad you found it useful… cheers 🍻
Thank you for the info. Some day soon i go wildcamp my way up to the nordcape.
You are welcome, it looks like there is opening in the end of the tunnel now. Looks like we are opening up again soon.
We have just finished the planning of trip to Nordkapp! This year ,if everything stays well ,we are on the road. From Serbia to Bosnia and then here we go....to Nordkapp. This video is realy realy realy usefull
to me. Thank's !
Really glad to hear this mate, Hope you will have a great adventure up north. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen I am sure we will have a great time. Thank you Bro! Who knows maybe we run to itch other while we are on the road. Stay safe,stay cool,and make more videos ,all are good! You and Big Rock Moto ,are the reason why I had gave up from buying KTM 790 adventure r,and why I have decided to buy Tenere WR. And I didn't regreat it !!!)
@@Underthehelm If we do, make sure to stop and say hello 🤩 Always appreciate meeting likeminded people on the road. Stay safe mate, and really glad to hear you avoided KTM. They have some serious work to do before I trust that brand with my money again. Cheers
@@tshansen stoping at that point is inevitable,if it does happened. I am looking forward to it. Peace with you brother on a two wheels. Cheers Bro.
Thanx for this kind hints and sympathic "teaching". I.ve been in NOR in 2018 and it was by far the best trip I.ve ever done (except of British Columbia). This year I will visit Norway again on my BMW 1150 GSA (called "das Eisenschwein" --> iron pig). I am very happy to come again, and I loved the calm riding because of speed limits and the very nice people everywhere!!! Thanx, Henry 👍🤓
You are welcome sir. Welcome back and hope you will have just as good trip up here this time as last. Cheers 🍻
@@tshansen Thanx Thomas, I hope, the weather can play a little more charming than the last weeks. A nasty deep from Irish sea is rather stubborn at the time. Have nice days, grettings, Henry
Fabulous country, people and scenery.
Recommend you go, if you get the opportunity.
Thank you sir 🤩
Thanks Thomas, really helpful information. Ciao!
ilbicchieredellastaffa you are welcome ☺️ cheers
Good video. Lots of practical tips. Keep up the good work!
Thank you mate 👏🏻☺️
En great film, bra info, ungefär samma förutsättningar som i grannlandet ditt :-)
I will for sure go summer 2021 if the virus dont mess it up completely. You cant drive away from it either, with smoke of rubber and gases..not with the hefty fines we have in our countrys :-)
Tack för bra film
Ja, håper det blir mulig å krysse grensene til Sverige i løpet av sommeren. Har lyst å fullføre svenske TET før jeg fortsetter noen dager oppe i Nord-Norge. Glad du likte filmen. 🔥
@@tshansen Ja något blir det i sommar. Kanske någon del av TET. Planen var resa över Karpaterna. Nu får jag utforska Sverige och förhoppningsvis Norge istället. Stay safe
thanks for info and advises! hope will not forget them till July trip :D
You are welcome mate 🤩
Rode up to the Nordic cape 2019, from uk , coming back next year, fantastic place , love the your channel too 👍🏻
Thank you so much Andreas :-) did you have luck with the wather? I know our northern parts can be harsh sometimes :-) Cheers
Thomas Hansen yes we had 2 weeks of sunshine, even at the Nordic cape it was blue sky's, apparently we we're lucky?
Andreas Wales i will say you had some luck yes😇 not many got to see the northern perts with beautiful weather 😂🙈
Its one of my bucket list item to ride a motorcycle in your beautiful country, a BHAG if you will. Sigh. Much love from Bangalore, India.
Wow, so cool to have people from India tuning in 🙏🏻 I understand what you mean, and maybe one day you will sir 🔥
Thank you for this video! I hope to your Norway in the next year and this has been very helpful. I grew up in the other Norway known as Minnesota, USA and have always wanted to visit the home land. I hope you are enjoying your 790 R as much as I am enjoying mine! Ripping machine!! Roost on and cheers! 🍻
Chad Bjerken hope to see you here... it’s a great place to visit. Had some family many years ago who went to america, but never visit them! They are on my bucket list for sure. I just love my 790R, best machine i have owned so far... cheers mate 🍻
Meget informativt med det viktigste tatt med ! Great !
Sven Olsen takk for det Sven 👏🏻
Excellent ! IMO, the 2 best things about Norway are the people, who like yourself Thomas, have been exceptionally welcoming and of course the Norwegian countryside. In fact, I must reply to some friends from there now :-) Cheers Wayne.
Pyrenean Paraphernalia thank you mate ☺️ appreciate it. The Norwegian people are kinda honest give alot if you get to know them. Only sad part is that some is hard to get to know. Cheers
Thank you excellent info. I hope to solo in 2022.
Thank you sir 🔥👏🏻 glad you liked it. Hope to do some serious adv riding in 2022 my self. Cheers
Thank you very much! This is super useful for my July 2022 trip! 👏👍😎
Thank you sir, glad you found it helpful 👍🏻 Norway 2022 sound like a great idea. i hope to reach the North Cape my self next year. Cheers
Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain
You are welcome mate 👏🏻
Aiming to visit in a couple of years, is very useful
Fantastic Thomas and I was wondering how your English was so good!! I would love to tour Norway on a motorbike but getting there would be a problem from Canada lol. You present yourself and Norway as a much quieter and slower pace life style than North America. I realise you are filming out in the countryside but your drone aerials close to towns does not show tons of cars etc. I kinda chuckled that you leave a camera on a tripod and then film yourself riding past it for a while and of course you would need to go back and pick it up but here I am afraid someone would quickly pull over and take it before you got back to where it was!!
Haha, thank you Mike 😇 It is a looong way from Canada, but I guess you guys have areas that looks similar to what we have in Norway? Hehe, I have never been to Canada myself, so I'm not sure how to compare, but here in Norway we are only about 5 million living here. So it is a large country with a lot of space. And that is one of the best things about living here to be honest 🙈 leave the camera behind here in Norway has never been a problem. I guess there are places in Europe I would be more worried 😉
Great review. Very informative for my motorcycle trip to Norway next year. Very good !
Glad you found this useful mate. 🙌🏻
Planning a trip this year with my daughter, thanks for your time and information
Nice :-) When are you planing on going? If you have any question feel free to ask my anything, i'll try to help answer as good as i can :-) Cheers
@@tshansen Thomas Hansen last week in July first week in August. We did the coast of Scotland last year and thought it would be a bit more of an adventure to venture a little further! Thank you for the offer of advice.... I'll probably take you up on that a little closer to the time
@@twopoke That is a great time to visit Norway :-)
Fantastic video, many thanks for the information. I'm heading to Norway on my Bike via Finland early September 2020, up to Grense Jacobselv then to Nordkapp before heading south via Lofoten, Route 17 and the Atlantic Road.
Hello David. Glad you found it informativ. I know more about the AutoPass now. Or, they do so now under the covid-19... the ferry crew take a picture of your licenseplate on the ferry and you get a invoice some weeks later. adding up on the ferry trips you have taken. Cheers
Many thanks Thomas, that will make getting on the ferries even easier!
@@tshansen Hmmmm in juli 2020 i took a lot of ferries from different carriers. They always took a picture of my license plate. But I never received an invoice when back in the Netherlands. Automation needs a tweak i guess. I am planning to go back to Norway. I hope they don't remember me
Hahaha i had the same! So i think they messed up all the Motorcycle invoices
What a great video with so much info us bikers need for our visit. If I see you I will get you a beer (or maybe we can share one😁) many thanks.
Thank you James 🤩 Glad you found it informative. I would love to share a beer if our path ever cross. Cheers 🍻
Great video, and thanks for getting me the itch to come and visit your beautiful country !! ;)
You are welcome Sir 🔥😆 i can recommend may to september 😇🙈
thanks for the helpfull info ,because next year i will go to nordcape by my self, ido realy want to expiore your country as well !
I'm planing a trip to North Cape myself next year. Hope to get 3 weeks on the road here in Norway. Try to make some video about the whole journey with places to see, camp etc 👍🏻
Great video. Very helpful. Cant wait to get there
Thank you sir... glad you found it helpful, cheers 👏🏻
@@tshansen ive watched most of your stuff over the last 6 months. Great productions. Keep it up
@@dimitrifromsydney Wow... that makes me so glad to hear mate 🤩 Appreciate that and I will make much more in the upcoming months. Just need my new bike to arrive 🙈 Cheers
@@tshansen yeah, looking forward to more content from you and also a comparison between the ktm and the world raid
@@dimitrifromsydney I hope to have that ready in the next couple of weeks (after getting the bike)
Thank you for the great and useful tips!!
You are welcome mate 🤩🔥
Thanks for this video! We are hoping to ride Norway later this summer once they open up to tourists on July 5th.
Thank you sir, glad you found it informative. Let’s hope they open up soon 👏🏻🔥
Hello Thomas, the best product against mosquitos and black flikes is definitely citronnela oil, which can be bought in any pharmacy. Jjust put some on a bandana around your throut, some on your hans and in your hair and you'll be OK. In addition, keep a mosquikto net hat, that can be bought in most sporting goods stores and you can enjoy both nature and being outside, even in the summer. Good video with useful info!
That is a great tip! I need to try that here in sweden! I never seen so much mosquitos before! Everytime i stop my bike i’m swarmed! Takes the fun out of camping for sure
Hey, great video. These are really important information for a trip to norway. Especially the information about the campingsites and prices.
Glad it was helpful Sir... Nothing gives me more joy and to hear feedback like this. Thank you 🔥
Thanks for this informative video Mate! Hope to visit Norway soon on my bike, when possible and borders are re-opened. Sure wil visit the beautiful Bergen.
You are welcome mate 👍🏻 It looks like crap at the moment, I don't think we will see an opening before 2022
That is pretty good and informative video. I’m really interested in riding in Norway someday 🙂 Thanks very much 👍🏻
Thank you mate :-) Glad you liked it
Thomas Hansen pleasure 👍🏻
I had many questions about travelling in norway, wow all are answered. Thanks a lot.
Really glad to hear that ☺️ cheers
Man I would love to ride your country. Pretty freaky about the Mosquitoes tho. A most interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha, we should switch one time, i really want to ride in your country as well mate 🤣🔥 it’s high on my bucket list, so hope one day i can manage to get away from til A4 life and travel much more
@@tshansen You've got me thinking mate. Look up remote moto in NZ. The most organised and comprehensive trip and adventure planning site on the globe. Races to Places couldn't speak highly enough about it when he visited NZ. Download gps data of all grades of adventure rides. You really peaked my interest with the facts needed to know about touring your country. Watch this space friend.
Thanks for your effort and useful informations, appreciated which will be very helpful on my trip to Norway. Cheers )
Glad i could share useful knowledge :-) Hope you will have a great trip to Norway
Thank you, great video my man!!.....Happy New Year!! CANADA

Thank you so much for this good information
Thanks
You are welcome mate, glad you found it useful. Cheers
Thanks for that great to know, took at trip to the arctic circle last year in the motorhome amazing country, and planning on taking the bike next trip.
I have consider a motorhome for quite some time now... another amazing way to explore our country :-) Glad you liked it. Will try to make a video about wildcamping soon.
Starting to plan a trip in 2024, very helpful video. Thank you
Thank you Anthony... this video is getting old now, but info is still the same, I should probably do an update and add some valuable info soon. Cheers
Great useful clip. Will be visiting in couple weeks Nordkapp
Hope you enjoy it and the weather will be nice. Cheers
Thanks Thomas very informative. Well done
Thank you, Cheers :-D
Thank you so much for this informative video, a real help!!
Thank you sir, glad you found it useful 🙌🏻
Thank you a lot for such a helpfull bunch of infomation. Happy 2020! :-)
Glad you liked it :-) Happy New Year :-)
Thank you for the video, im planning a trip to Grense Jacobselve and the nordkapp
You are welcome mate. That is quite an adventure. Hope you will get nice weather up there. Cheers
@@tshansen thank you! I will do it in summer so fingers crossed for the weather
Great idea for a video topic, thank you for the detailed information !
You are welcome mate :-P hope to see something similar from your country
Thomas Hansen yes you have given me a few ideas, thanks again!
Congrats for this priceless and useful information.
1.- I'll have to say that no road toll charge for motorcycles was a huge surprise. I had the idea that motorcycles will pay road and bridge crossing toll.
2.- I'll myself get into trouble if i roam in the countryside? You see besides the TET (trans euro trail - offroad) i like to discover new enduro trails and also create new offroad trails. Solo riding. Its forbiden or a fine will be waiting for me in the norwegian border?
Thanks.
Glad you found it useful mate. One of the many positive things with riding motorcycle in Norway. No Toll on the Normal roads. But keep in mind, there is some toll to be paid on some of the gravel roads around. You will find a sign or gate to pass with information where you need to pay. Some of them is automatic. (They take picture of you behind) No, you will not be in trouble if you roam the countryside, but riding in nature or on hiking paths is strictly forbidden. Gravel roads are fine (off-road) Fire roads and trail are a question about definition. You will be stoped and charged by the police on the sight, nothing will happened on the border. The odds for meeting police out in the Forrest or on remote gravel roads are another question. Like it will never happen 😂
@@tshansen Thanks it helped a lot. ✌
that was interesting . I was already at nord cap but i will need to go again as i only had rain and very cold temperatures in july aug. so i need to explore norway a bit further. next time
You really should, there is so much more to see in Norway than just North Cape. 🙏🏻
Thank you for this video....clear information and nice pictures...bravo
You are very welcome👏🏻 And glad you found it useful. Cheers
Good tips, thanks a bunch!
You are welcome 🔥
Nice, thanks for posting.
Thank you
Love to see Norway someday. Thanks alot :)
Glad you liked it 🤩👏🏻
Thank you very much. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful Stuart 👏🏻 Have a great weekend and stay safe 🔥
Great list, l think you cover it all.
Nye tunnelen mellom strand og Stavanger åpnet i da.,fantastisk flott tunnel som er verdt en tur ,å jeg slipper ferje til jobb.
Lagt til på listen, blir nok en tur nedover der tidlig sesong 2020 👍🏻
Norway would be on my list to ride if I was a little younger. Too many places so little time. I always enjoy your content. Happy New Year!
azdesertdog you never know! But i do understand what you mean! There is so many places, so the best option is to live life to the fullest no matter where you go 👏🏻 thank you, enjoy your stuff as well mate, happy new year

To old!! I’m planning to go Nordkapp 2021, by then I will be 68 years young 🤣🤣👍
Ok I will be retired and have the time then.
Beautiful country you live in. Really enjoyed the video. Cheers
Thank you :-)
Really cool thanks. Looking forward to doing my research before I get there once this virus ends
If you have any questions, feel free to Ask 👍🏻
Hey! Thanks for the tips! :)
Sam Seoane sure thing 😉 glad you liked it
Thanks that was a great set of tips. Yes the word you were looking for was French. Best Regards Mark
Glad you enjoyed it... haha yes I struggle with my English sometimes, but I hope it is understandable 😄
Also, on the ferries you need to eat svele with coffee. It's almost expected!
Hahaha, that is true, how could i forget to mention that :-P The Svele is more famous than the brown cheese :-D
I agree. But just that. Cafes, restaurants and food at gas stations is often what drives visitors away. Price wise! To pay 40 NOK for a bad cup of coffee on a ferry is just WILD.
@@psvennevig That is so true! but i think it's like this in every country in Europe. I hope to make a video at the end of next season about what, and where to eat when on the road in Norway. The cheap way of spending your time here. There are so many people that are just going to buy a icecream, coffe or small sandwich and the price for that in the "normal" tourist places are robbery. I'm embarrassed by the greed some the Norwegian shop's share in tourist season.
$4.54 cents USD isn't tooo bad. :)
When you can buy a bag of coffé (250g) for about 2euro it is insane to spend that amount of money on just coffé.
very usefull vid, i bookmarked it because i'm planning a trip to the nordkapp next year. gonna play this vid alot i think :). keep up the good work, and ride safe
full on in the wind glad you found it usefull mate! I will try to make a video about freecamping and the what not when camping in Norway in the next months! If you have any question about Norway, feel free to send me a message 👍🏻☺️
@@tshansen cheers mate!
Damn! Photo and content at level 10. Well done! /rob
Nomad Sweden 🇸🇪 thank you Rob 😂 i still behind you, but the game is changing every day! 🤪
Great idea and great information. Many thanks for sharing.
You are welcome my friend 🔥👏🏻 glad you found it usefull
Was doing a roadtrip from Österbotten/Finland to Norway through Skiboth-Alta-North Cape and Kirkenes) this summer. And I swear, as soon as we crossed the border from Finland and entered Norway all the mosquitoes was gone. You may have the beautiful mountains and Fjords, but in Finland we have the mosquitoes..
Hahaha, yes... the myth says that Finland has huge mosquitoes, and much more of them. It may be true, i have just ridden in Finland once, so i'm not really familiar with the local stuff flying around 🤣
@@tshansen Myth is true ;) In case you decide to re-visit Finland I can recommend areas around Saimaa (4th largest lake in Europe) near Savonlinna and Lappeenranta. Was riding my Tenere 700 there this summer and enjoied it. Good combination of cities and nature.
@@ThePPTP2 Thank you, that is some good advice. A guy reach out to me earlier this season and told me to search for "uimaranta" when i come to Finland again. yes i will be back and do the TET over there. Looks like you have some really beautiful places everyone should visit.
Many thanks for these advises
You are welcome 😊
Super Info ,mange tak og ja Nordkap er spektakulær
Bare hyggelig Henrik :-P
Hopefully doing the TET next year, great video thank you
Glad you found it informative mate. Cheers 🔥
Thanks for that info, planning a few days ride come June.🇩🇰 🇦🇺
You are welcome 😊 glad you liked it.
Thanks for this video and the information, I went to visit my friend and his family last year by plane because I had limited days off of work.
When I flew from Oslo to Trondheim, I was looking out the window for the entire flight and I have to say.... I immediately fell in love, gorgeous country and very nice, albeit a bit reserved people.
If all goes to plan, I will be driving from Belgium to Norway in September and stay for about a month, going to put my bike on a trailer so I can bring more stuff since I will have to work remotely from time to time.
Do you have any recommendations for routes or scenery around Trondheim and Stjørdal to ride with my bike?
I would ask my friend but he probably won't know since he is that one Norwegian guy that doesn't like to go outside 😂
There is a lot of great routes up in the area around Stjørdal and Trondheim, do you ride gravel or only tarmac?
@@tshansen I would love to ride on gravel since I bought a CRF300 Rally but in Belgium there is hardly a non tarmac road you can ride legally 😊
My guess is that the gravel roads are doable with 80/20 tires?
Otherwise I will throw on my knobbies before I leave 😎
Thank you Thomas
You are welcome 🔥
That was very informative , thanks!
Glad you found it informativ :-) Cheers
Fantastic info, thank you.
Thank you, glad you liked it and found it informative 👏🏻

Great info, I was especially curious on the procedure when boarding the ferries, thank you very much. Planning an adventure Bike tour of Norway in June 2020!
Cobus Bekker glad you found it usefull. If you have any other question feel free to ask my :-)
Great video again! Keep them coming! Personally, my number eleven would be to always have your Credit Card and a few NOK in cash ready. Some of the best backcountry roads and trails are private property and require payment at automated toll stations.
eki_adv thank you ☺️ i’m going to make a separate video about TET and gravel roads in Norway, and shine a light on the wildcamping possiblitys and what not to do 👍🏻 glad you liked it
@@tshansen Well, that is the kind of video that makes winter bearable! Gott nytt år so long! :)

No. 11. Fuel access in north ?really informative .Top job.
Haha, yeah... it sound's like you have been up north :-P There can be some challanges towards fuel in the northern parts of Norway. I hope to cover more about this in one of the follow up videos next season. I need some material to show for, but i will cover some of the challanges up north :-) Cheers, and thank you
Great. Look forward to it.
Haven't been. But would like to take my 701.
Might get 150 miles on a tank .
Orange Future i had the 690 one year ago! You will manage with the 701, but you need to fill at every station, you cant skip a station up there!
First of all Happy New Year!
And great Idea/Video 👍
Thank you, Happy New year to as well 👍🏻
Thanks för this Tips.I need die Tips hast Year on mal TET Bike Tour.
You are welcome my friend 🔥
Thank you for your clip. Its interesting.
You are welcome mate.
It's not the placement of the license plate that makes the speed cameras flash (take your picture), it's actually because motorcycles don't have enough mass/metal to trip the camera. No matter how fast you go with a motorcycle in Norway, they will not flash. Although, I do not recommend going too fast, because traffic fines in Norway usually start at $80 and upwards to $1000. Stay safe :)
Yeah, i know but i had a hard time telling that to the camera when i made this video 😂 cheers brother, stay safe 🔥
Is it really like that? Make me believe to go there on motorcycle again...
