Those are some serious distances you cover! Most admirably, however, is the positive and stoic attitude you both have to it, even in miserable conditions. Really enjoy your content. My girlfriend and I do much smaller tours around the U.K, you've given some food for thought and really want to get on the continent. All the best, Will
Hi Will, yeah we try and make the most of the time we have so big distances are inevitable 😁.
Yeah we had a lot of bad weather in Norway but were so excited to be there it didn’t crush our spirits -good rain gear helps too 😁.
We have just finished a 8500km 4 week trip around the UK and had some of the best rides ever! First episodes of this tour will be out next week.
We hope the channel gives you some ideas about a European tour, we put all the routes in the descriptions too if that’s any help.
Nice to hear from you and thanks for your comment!
😎🙌🏻
Beautiful scenery, love it!!
Yeah Norway was spectacular and an incredible adventure that left us wanting to go back for more! 😎👍🏻
I absolutely enjoy your ride and can deeply understand your joy. Norway is (simply said) the way most scenic country I know in.... the world
Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for commenting! Norway has really blown us away with it's beauty -an incredible land.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Totally agree, a ferry ride is an excellent way to start a bike adventure! And you're on the best adventure bike there is! Loving your excitement and enthusiasm, really hoping you see a Moose, maybe with a Moose puppy!
Yeah nothing like riding off the ferry after the door opens to explore a new land! There is nothing i would change about this bike it's truly amazing and suits us perfectly- although wondering what the R1300 will bring.
That would be incredible to see!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
The prices for the food - as a Swede - was hilariously expensive on this ferry 🫣
I like that Sean has a map on his tankbag , the good ol’ way 👏👏👏
Oh yeah not cheap at all -Fortunately we came prepared and had a decent breakfast and brought snacks. The lounge was well worth it for the unlimited drinks and quiet area.
It's really nice having a map, can't beat being able to see where you've actually been.
Cheers buddy
S&E
It is so great to see your excitement and anticipation!
I think it’s time for Emily to get a triple black 750 GS. I would love to see her go through the journey of developing her riding skills. Think of all the content creation possibilities.
This is a trip we have been looking forwards to for a long time and despite lots of planning one still never knows what to expect which all adds to the excitement.
For our big tours we love riding two up, plus without Emily's camera skills form the pillion seat there wouldn't be a channel =).
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Really liked the music in this video. Southern Norway looks beautiful.
Thanks, the music is really important to us too. Yeah from the moment we arrived in Norway everything was beautiful!
Nice start 👍. Mind the cold in Scandinavia, it’s a dry cold that creeps up on you. I can feel your excitement. A true adventure 😊
Thanks very much! We have Merino base layers, down jackets and heated vests at the ready 😁. We truly are very excited about this tour -it’s been a dream of ours for a long time. Glad to have you along with us 😎🙌🏻.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Just started watching your channel, really enjoy the video and commentary between you both. It is so nice to see the pure enjoyment you get from your adventures. So many motorcycle vlogs just show footage and facts, yours gives an in depth feeling of the adventure which the viewer can feel part of.
Hi Sarah! Can’t tell you how much we appreciate your comment and encouraging words! 😊🙏🏻
We think it’s important to share the emotion of our trips too so the viewer can share in the whole trip.
We hope hope you enjoy the rest of the channel and we look forwards to hearing from you again. 😊
Love you videos. Your music selection for this one was extra special. Keep up the great work. Cheers from California!
Hi, thanks so much! We are really glad you like them and thanks for letting us know! Picking the Music can be half the battle sometimes so your feedback is much appreciated. Great to have you along with us for the journey all the way from California! .
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Great to follow along! Good start video 👍
Thank you! 👍
Looking forward to Norway trip have safe journey
Thanks Colin!
Totally Beauty of Nature, Scenic ride !
We agree! It was such an awesome day exploring Norway!
Hi both- super episode! Brilliantly made…and great to be getting the practical travel tips en route….thanks!
Hi, thanks so much for your comment and encouraging words! We are really glad you found it informative and entertaining. Happy to have you along for the journey!
Cheers
Sean and Emily
Hope you Will spend some more Time in Denmark, we have Lots of fun Roads🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 great video you making, have a safe ride
We definitely plan to do just a Denmark tour soon! Your right the roads looked great! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the episode!
Im a little surprised you are going to Norway now since I normally consider the last chance for a trip there is in September, maybe even the first half if you want to be sure there is no frost, snow or at least uncertain road conditions on the MOUNTAIN PASSES which is a important way of accessing certain areas of the country but also very scenic and amazing road views. They do also close most of those mountain passes for the winter in late autumn.
We are a few weeks behind on content, but we wanted to go towards the end of the season to avoid the crowds and so far it seems to have worked and the weather has been warm (warmish).
Cheers
Sean and Emily
@@SeanandEmily I have ridden about 25000 km in Norway during five years and I have also been riding there in September all those seasons and I have had mostly nice weather, quite warm but also kind of fresh air and also still mostly green nature 👌👍 On the other hand it's also very beautiful there when it's sunny, the leaves are yellow and red and the air is fresh and it's not so sweaty to ride as during summer time. As you mentioned there is less crowded and it's actually very nice to be able to ride without ending up in endless queues behind campers and caravans going in low speed 🙏
@@SeanandEmily I have to add that as long as you are on sea level or near around the fjords and so on it's no problem to ride in most parts of southwestern Norway also at least a few weeks into October. In September at sea level it's often quite ok temperatures and nice conditions for bike riding, not so different from in second half of August.
i can see why you've done so many KM's there and i think this wont be our last trip hear =) We actually prefer it to be cooler than too hot -as long as it isn't snowing lol
Cheers
S&E
Welcome to Norway. Hope you you don't get a lot of rain.
Thanks, so far the Norwegian weather has been very kind to us! Cheers
Sean and Emily
Beautiful couple
Quality brand bike
Superb journey
Every things complete
Respect from islamabad Pakistan
Thank you for your kind words! We are so glad you are enjoying the series!
Carefully with sheep's. They laying in tunnels too
Thanks, we will watch out for them too =)
Loving the tour but I’m afraid … Evan does know about the Starbucks on board now 😂. Countryside looks amazing.
Hi Wendy!! haha don't worry we didn't have one! -although we must admit to looking at it a few times =). Landscape in Norway is fantastic!
You are late in the season. Stay in the southern Norway 😊
Hi, we are a couple of weeks behind on the videos =)
@@SeanandEmily good.
I see andymancam on yt starting the same route as you two.
Have a nice trip.
Greetings from Voss Norway
Well done! I've just found out your videos and they are superb! I live in Oporto, I see you also were here and I'm looking to see the Portugal seres too. By now I'm focused in Heading North, since I'm planning to go to Nordkapp with my wife next July . Do you share your track? I saw this map here your first day in Norway track. By the video I got the idea that you head to Lysebotn by route 9 and, turnning in Rysstad, Suleskardveien E450 and then (Suleskard), Lyseveien route and the Fv500, through the hairpins till Lysebotn. Aldo got the idea you left the fiord by ferry, without comming back. But the map shows a big detour by south, till, Stavanger, that I didn't see in video. Am I missing something? Thank you, and congrats again
Hi, thanks very much and welcome to the channel! Yeah we toured through Portugal on the Heading South Tour and had a great time in your country!
The problem with Google maps is if you try and plan in the winter time when certain roads and ferries are closed it plots another available route. This will right itself when everything opens. I would be great if google fixed this.
We have included the names of the waypoints in the description of each video and GPS coordinates for important places, so hopefully you can follow the route with that.
We hope you enjoy the rest of the Heading North Playlist.
😎👍
Yeah, I was crossing fingers for an explanation like that, It will fix by itself type. I noticed Google Directions don´t work there, so... Thanks again for your public service.💡👍🙏
You're very welcome. As i guess you are trying to plot your route you might want to try another route planner like Calimoto or Base camp (Calimoto is more user friendly) as they don't have seasonal closures. We hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Have y’all done a story on how you met, when you got married, why you got into Moto touring? Thanks!
Hi David,
Actually we have our story on our website and also we did a brief introduction at a recent motorcycle travel event.
Here's our website with a little bit about us:
seanandemilytravels.com/about
And here is the Travel event we spoke at in Germany (the introduction is in German but all of our part is in English) :

Thanks for your support!
Kind regards
Sean and Emily
Great video, thank you. Where do you mount your mikes? The sound is excellent. I have the DJI mic too, and I’ve tried it on the chinstrap, but it’s too noisy. Where have you mounted yours? Thanks
Hi, thanks for your comment. Mic stays in the pocket and we use a Lavalier mic in the helmets.
Cheers
Sean and Emily
@@SeanandEmily Thanks for the quick reply, I’ve got one and I’ll go back to it. Another channel told me to clip the transmitter to the chinstrap however. I think it’s obviously to do with aerodynamics, rider height and weather conditions, and he wears a full face helmet. Thanks again, keep up the great work. I envy you living in Europe, especially Switzerland! You’ve got all those countries on your metaphorical doorstep! UK is great, but you can’t beat different traditions, history and culture.
Basically you need to keep it away form the wind -chin strap isn't the best place for it @@albertol1529
you guys should have swiched your 2 trips around, spain portugal seems nice now . Scandinavia travel on moto is 1 month too late , its gonna get cold. enjoy your videos, cheers from Denmark:)
Haha 😂 This was filmed 4 weeks ago … the perfect time for the Nordkapp!
@@SeanandEmily aah i see perfect then 👍👍
Even if they went now, they'd be better off in the shoulder season with less traffic.
@@ericyuan9718 Yes! So true! We had no traffic on this trip! It was perfect timing 😊
Awesome video! Isn't the word boat a little bit to small for a huge ship? Only a joke from me. 😅
Thanks so much for the comment! Haha! “The ship to Norway” didn’t sound as cool 😂🤣
Be careful at dawn and dusk when you see those moose warning signs. That is when they are often active and you have a higher risk of meeting them. I know you want to see one, but it is really the last thing you want to meet at the side of the road. Because they might suddenly jump over the barrier and cross the road right into you. Then you crash into a one tonne wall of meat on stilts... Moose crush cars and their drivers, you do not want to experience a moose crash on a motor bike. That said, for the one not driving, if you see moose warning signs at dawn or dusk, look into the fields or forrests etc. You will be surprised how often you can see a moose just standing completely still in the middle of a field etc. If you know where to look, you see them all the time.
Thanks for the Tips, yeah those moose are huge (had a few encounters in Canada). We don't plan on riding at Dusk but I'm sure it's going to happen as we have some big distances to cover so we will be sure to keep two sets of eyes out for them =)
Cheers
Sean and Emily
I was thinking of doing something similar, fly to Germany for the cheapest bike deals, ride up to Hirtshals for the ferry. I wonder which route you're going to take to Bergen (I'd imagine you're not going to Oslo.) There's two routes shown on Google Maps but which one is more scenic, the coastal or mountain route? EDIT: Jokes on me, I guess you answered the question already later in the video
That’s a good idea! You would be in Norway in no time 😎👍🏻. We heard that the coastal roads up North are the best so we took the mountain roads -although I think it doesn’t matter which route you take it’s all beautiful 😊 There will be lots more episodes coming up so you will be able to follow our route all the way to the Nordkapp. Cheers Eric 👍🏻
Hi Sean and Emily - how do you manage audio for your videos? I see the mic for the intercom, and the fuzzy mic for the video audio, but what are you using to so that the wind doesn't ruin your narration? Thanks, love your videos. . . . .
Hi Jim, really glad you are enjoying the videos!
You've pretty much got it and the setup works well, at higher speeds the wind noise can get a bit loud. A bit of audio adjustment in editing is also done. The equipment we use can be found on our website:

Sean and Emily
@@SeanandEmily Thanks so much for your reply. Do you have a video of how you set these cameras up? I mount my GoPro on my helmet, but I don’t see where you mount yours for you to get your forward looking videos. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much. Btw, we are planning a Norway trip as well.
Hi Jim, In short the camera is never mounted to the bike -all camera work is the work of Emily =).
Norway is amazing, you will have a great time!!!
@@SeanandEmily woah, do you mean she is just holding the GoPro with one hand, for those forward facing shots?
Yeah that's right =) EM does a great job, some have thought we use a 360 camera when the camera pans around us but we dont -it's a Hero11
hi mates!nice video watching both of u on bike!may i know hows the payment for the ferry to kristiansand!is possible paying by credit card or by cash on the ferry?because we r coming on july!need yr advice.tqvm!
Hi Jacky, thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment =)
Regarding the ferry to Kristiansand you will need to pre book this in advance as places are limited. I guess it's possible to just turn up and by a ticket on the day but you will not have any guarantee of being able to travel when you want.
😎👍
