Thanks! Cheers to the down under Livewire rider! 😊

Dr.Jekill & Mr.Hyde exhaust.

@@xomoto fire my friend !!

Thank you! If you are going here this summer, you can check out the other episodes of my tour in Norway. Or just read the text under the video if you don't want to watch it; there I describe some of the routes each day/episode.

I'm glad you liked it. This trip is from 2021, and this is my first time with GoPro. I did not plan to post here on TH-cam as I thought it was a boring POV video, but I did it anyway before deleting it on PC. If you plan to ride in Norway, you can also see some of the videos I posted from my tour last summer on Livewire. This summer I plan a trip north via Lofoten and Nordkapp, but probably on my HD Ultra if we go 2 up.

Yeah, this was a great pass. This was the first trip with a drone; I had never flown a drone before, so I just did simple shoots. I'm glad you liked that. It was so much fun riding roads like this on an electric bike.

Takk, bare hyggelig! 😊 Har eid å kjørt «alt» de sist 25 årene, har også twincam Harley fortsatt så kan kose meg på tur med den også. Og det er mulig jeg bruker den på en lang tur denne sommeren. Livewire har jo en litt kul «jet» sound som også har vært kult å oppleve 🤠

I can agree if the bike is very silent, but I have to say that the Livewire is not as silent as you think. People can hear something coming. At slow speed, it is more quiet, but then it is not a danger for anyone. Another aspect is that the rider has to take responsibility because people who are walking may be deaf, listening to music with earplugs, and so on. Always adapt to the speed. I am a truck driver and know what responsibility I have in traffic, and I am aware of dangers like that.

@@xomoto I may sound retarded but motorcycle should sound good. Like VTX1800 or Raider1900 with straight pipes :) I know it's forbiden in many countries but in my country it's not. Sounds awesome. I know it may disturb some ppl, but actually I fly by in 5 sec and they wont hear my bike anymore

@@BEDbMAK1 Haha, you sound perfectly healthy. I have owned and ridden all kinds of bikes. My 61-mod BSA 650 twin was my favorite. 2 years ago, I did some of the passes on my 2017 Slim S with Jekill and Hyde exhaust. Pretty close to your pipes, full open. After 25 years on ICE bikes, it was fun to try something else. I still have a twin-cam Harley, though. I can't live without that sound.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to try out ebike, but for now they look like toys for me. What I really wanna try is neander - diesel cruiser :)

Oh great! Please feel free to share my videos with your friends 👍😁 Are there many electric bikes there? Or mostly gas bikes, maybe?

Jeg det er bare a plusse til på lista :) Jeg likte veldig godt turen fra Eidsvågen og innover mot Eikesdalen også. I Gudvangen ladet jeg på Tesla, men der måtte jeg bytte til en annen Tesla-lader da den første jeg prøvde ikke startet. Sto ladere ved Circke K også, men velger Tesla når jeg kan pga de er pittelitt billigere å lade på :)

It was truly amazing up there. The livewire I ride in this video is stock. Only added bags and a windshield. Maybe I will change tires if I go on more gravel roads. It is not fun on wet gravel with the stock ones.

Thanks! You should try it too 👌😊

@@xomotoya bro thanks, I'm already in the Trip ☺️

Did you watch the ride I did? It was poring down. You should know that this is dangerous because rain loosens rocks... The next day, several Swedish riders were hit by rocks. They were lucky. The road then got closed. Watch the end of the last episode, where I show a clip of this accident.

@@xomoto Well. Trollstigen is pretty safe comparing to many other roads ive been on the past 40 years but i get it that it might be rocks falling but you were just unlucky. I have been on that road 25ish times in all weather you can imagine. It has taken me all from 15min to 2h to get from top to bottom or the other way around. Fog is the big hater though 🤬🤬 Hailstorm a few years ago was interesting as it fell almost 2 inches that was left on the road for almost 2h. Sadly Måbødalsvegen (old road to Vøringsfossen) has closed many years ago and that road madeTrollstigen feel like autobahn. That was scary for real, no matter the weather.

@@DrMcKay66 It is an open question if Trollstigen is Norway's most dangerous road. I am sure other roads here have more accidents, and there are many roads in Norway that have been closed permanently because of rocks. In general, all roads with steep hills on the sides are dangerous when it rains heavily. I was not scared of riding in that rain, but I would avoid it if possible. If a big enough rock falls down because the rain loosens it, it may be a fatal hit. I would rate that as dangerous.

@@xomoto I have seen many rocks fall thruout the years. I do miss the 80,s before most of the tunnels were built. Then it had to be over the mountain passes or a huge extra trip to get where you wanted to go. Old roads like Haukelifjell, Röldalsfjellet,Måbødalen, Stalheimskleiva and many more outstanding roads i have been privilaged to drive on. There are still some sections available today but most tourists take the tunnels now. But there are still some sweet little roads left and i do hope they keep them open, atleast until i cant drive anymore 😉😂. Mainstream tourists dont know what they are missing out on taking them tunnels. Good for the regular traffic but not for me. I like it narrow and a lil dangerous 😎

@@DrMcKay66 At Gudvangen camping, I talked to two Swedish riders; they did ride through Lærdals tunnel. I asked why they didn't ride over the mountain (Gamle Aurlandsvegen, the road I did ride in episode 3). They didn't know about that road. I showed them some photos from a ride over there two years ago. They were bummed they missed that, but they promised to come back for that road. You meet so many nice riders on the road, by the way. I hope to see you on the roads this summer! 😊

Thanks; I'm glad you liked the video. After 25 years on all kinds of ICE bikes, I just wanted to ride something completely different. Not silience in speed, but at low speeds it gets close to silence. And that was something I wanted to experience in the mountains and on the gravel roads. At high speeds, it is more noisy, but this is the first time I have ridden for hours without earplugs. The wind noise at speeds you can't do much with.

Thanks; I'm glad you like it. Livewire has a special sound and feel that make it very enjoyable to ride.

I just looked into your channel. Nice videos! Any plans on taking your Pan America to Norway for a trip?

@@xomoto hay. Just finished watching a few more. Your “get to the chopper” made me lol. Yes, the DirtGlide is heading to Norway in May for my charity bike run 😬. Details in my last video. Hoping it all goes well and the main bits I wanna see have had the snow cleared 😂

Not the best idea to ride into dark clouds. The Trolls ladder (Trollstigen) was closed the next day, as several riders were hit by rocks. It was just luck that no big rocks hit them.

Yeah, that wouldn't get you over the pass. Good call to ride down there then 🙂

Thanks. Yeah, I was really amazed by the glacier-colored lake. I preferred Tesla chargers as they were cheaper and easier to use. There were other fast-chargers in the same town that I rode by.

Yeah, you should do that! And it is so much better in real too!

I loved riding here! And Livewire just enhances the experience too.

Yeah, New Zealand and Norway might look the same at times 🙂

Yeah, that seems more correct 😁👍

I was surprised, actually. And I was not prepared for it to charge up that much downhill and didn't look at the top. It might be that further up it was 82 percent, and with another mode on the bike, it would charge even more. I think down to Lysebotn has to be one of the steepest roads in Norway.

Thanks! Found it on ebay many years ago.

Thanks! Do you ride any motorcycle? what kind?

Thanks, ride safe my friend!

Hi, and thank you for your lovely comment! It is getting more epic on this tour; I get dissy editing this. I filmed way too much, but I will try to take my time to show as much as possible without using too much of your time. I'm not that good to cut down on video length yet, but I know I probably should do so :)

Thanks! On this trip, I used the Mini 3 Pro drone for the first time; actually, this is the first time I have used a drone at all. The colors of the drone and GoPro shots were so different, so I did use the Lumetri presets. Most of the time, Cinespace 25, but also none or more vibrent color grading some places. If you like the scenery so far, just wait until the upcoming episodes; it is getting even better!

@@xomoto cool! Looking forward to it!

Yes, but stock floorboards on this Slim S scarping

Thanks for comment, and your sharing of memories. Wish you all the best!

Hi, hope you are doing well in the Philippines! Do you ride a motorcycle? What type do you have?

Too many riders overlook the old roads and take the tunnels instead!

That's for sure. I tried to drive off the central roads.

excellent video presentation

This video was made for riders who don't know Harleys. I think all Harley riders know what makes this sound. A sound you don't have to be afraid off :)

Thanks!

Thanks, it was a great feeling riding there!

Thanks! This was on late july. Two drone clips are from autumn.

Floorboards it is. The question was not for me, but for the viewers to educate about the Slim 😊

If the stand was down the bike would shut down. It is a 2016 Softail Slim S with stock floorboards, one of the lowest Harley.

This is a 2016 Softail Slim S with floorboards. I know what that sounds is, trust me 😊
