Noraly has always impressed me as the most relational and "interactive" Vlogger ever, but when she asked "Is the wasp gone?" and I said audibly, "NO!" I realized I'd never spoken to another TH-camr before while watching a video!! Yes, there is something very real about Itchy Boots! Thank you Noraly.
She rides a motorcycle around the world, experiences the greatest stories, crosses raging wild rivers, overcomes the steepest passes, has already had coffee with Yeti and is afraid of a cute little Swedish wasp. You are absolutely great!
I moved to Sweden from Germany almost two years ago. And it feels like I have, on the inside, been a Swede all along, because I fit in here perfectly and in Germany really struggled all the time. And probably because I'm in Sweden I got this video on my home page, it's very interesting to see a different perspective on Sweden.
Hi Noraly, I also love the conversations with strangers about their purpose for travelling. Thanks for your contribution to a pretty world as we can see.
All swedish police ive ever seen or meet have been nice! one time me and my friends explored a old factory/store which we were not allowed to go into and when they caught us they were really chill and just asked why we were in there which we replied with ´´just for an adventure´´ and then they let us go...
@@MaBigFatEgo When you've had interactions with the police, how have you acted? Because that matters just as much. If it's secondhand experience I'll just immediately dismiss it, because that's not something you should trust either. Most people who have bad experiences with police are people who don't know how to act properly or those who have reasons not to like the police, such as those who are actually doing something bad.
@@aaronpatterson2369 This is a preconceived idea based on a reddit post (…author recalls an unwelcoming experience at a swedish friend’s house), what is interesting is that an intense spreading of distorted rumors followed - claiming that this lack of hospitality is typically swedish, and it has been used in information influence campaigns to make the people seem cold, careless and unwelcoming. If this had been true, then it would’ve made huge and embarrassing self-shaming headers in the swedish media, lol
Well it's the same in Finland for the pea soup and pancakes, for Finland it was because they had an excess of peas so a minister urged the population to eat peas. so it was made that Thursday would be pea soup day with pancakes.
@The Valkist the police will arrest you if what you're doing is illegal enough to be warranting an arrest, if it's nothing as dire as that they will either issue a fine, a warning, or just talk to you and try to get you to stop and understand why what you're doing is wrong. Our police is great, sadly our politians are too airheaded and retarded to give the police what they actually need to properly do their jobs.
@The Valkist Sadly ure wrong, I've lived in Sweden all my life and some of my family members and friends even work on the force. I do believe I know what I'm saying here, but you're free to believe what you want, we do live in a democracy.
Hi, Norali, I am argentinian, and I iked your short conversation with the other motobiker while having breakfast!. I would like you to show more interaction with the locals, for us to know something more about people of other countries. Thanks for your constant effort to show us as much as possible of the road, and curiosities!
Wasps like to pick dead insects off the front of your bike but only if they are freshly killed. They search all over the front of cars and bikes and sometimes will check out screens, jackets and helmets. They are not aggressive when they are feeding and easily deterred with a gentle tap, they become more aggressive later in the season when there are less insects and they have to forage for fruit, that is when their nests have started to collapse and they no longer have a colony.
While stationed in Germany in the mid 70’s, as a couple in our mid 20’s, we took leave, vacation, through Denmark and Sweden, by car. We camped during our travels and found a nice campground in Stockholm. It was sunny when we arrived, but the next morning it rained and rained for the next 3 days while we were there. The day we had to leave, it was sunny. Go figure. We toured Stockholm the best we could considering all the rain, but wished we could of done more, without the rain. Stockholm is definitely a beautiful city. Funny story. Being a US Army Soldier and American, traveling has some interesting adventures. After arriving in Sweden, we found a campground along the coast and set up camp. The wife and I decided to eat at the cafe in the campground, as opposed to trying to find a place outside the campground. When our waiter arrived at our table, we asked him if he had an English menu, which he said no. We asked him if he had a German menu, again he said no. We looked at the Swedish menu and with a translation book, we tried to order something. When our meal arrived, what we ordered were cold pancakes. We started to eat, when the owner of the cafe came by and stopped us from eating. Everybody in the cafe had a big laugh on us Americans, then the owner brought us an English menu. We then ordered, ate and when we went to pay the bill, the owner said, since we took their joke on us so well, the meal was free. Since something like this had happened to us before, we just shrugged it off and went with the flow. Everyone in the cafe came by our table and told us they were glad we stopped by and hoped we have a good time while visiting their country. Traveling can definitely be an adventure. Just don’t let anything get under your skin.
@@FxRiderST yes there are lots of motorists here in Europe, in speacial italy france spain(my country) the places with good weather, we also have a sport called Moto GP which is the same as F1 but with motos🥴 Hope youve had a nice time in my lovely country Spain
@@FxRiderST it is very often people who have some spare money to buy a bike besides the SUV and the car for the wife. I had a female colleague who was biking but you dont find that often. You have the notorious biker gangs called hells angels or bandidos and you recognize them by the look. Not so many anyway.
It IS odd how your presence is so real and in the moment that i automatically reached out to brush your wasp away. I am 70 so i can remember the first appearance of television... radio with pictures right in our living room. My mother was born in 1916 and we talked now and then about making the change from horse to tractor on the farm... and from the winter horse drawn sleigh to riding in the first car. Technology now has put us at each others virtual fingertips. Riding as you do with several cameras... the feeling is very close to being there. And how you can juggle all of this and puzzle it together for us and make it look like it happens quite casually by itself. Like people say about the bees... busybusybusy, Itchy Boots. Loved the ride around Stockholm.
I am 48, I always had TV at home, but still TH-cam and videoconference amaze me. I lived in China for some time and I could show my mom in Spain my workplace, apartment, ... 👍👌. What I do remember clearly is the high prices for international phone calls, that is a thing of the past.
I'm just 20 and I believe we, as in me and my family, have always had access to TV and phones, but I do enjoy hearing things like this as it really makes one realize how fast technology is advancing.
People in Sweden are very nice. I loved Stockholm too! I especially liked old Stockholm. I really enjoyed being able to see it again! There are soooo many beautiful places and interesting things to see in Sweden as you travel the countryside. So glad it was one of the countries you choose to see and that you're loving it!
Have been living in this amazing country for the last 8 years! Sweds are the best people in the world 🌎 After my country 🇧🇩 I love Sweden 🇸🇪 most!!! Nice people ,beautiful country, very good laws and regulations!!
It was nice to have seen bits of Stockholm. I've been there once and it was one of my best trips ever. That square with the Royal building is really fresh in my memory. I liked Stockholm better than Copenhagen.
Hello Noraly. I have been following you since you started your Joyner back in india with the Royal Enfield motorcycle and have been a regular follower watching all your Vidoes of travel 25+ countries and then the Patagonia season and Iceland. Now you're in Sweden and I am still watching your videos with the same enthusiasm. Love to you back from India. 💙💙
Me too, but I recall there was a pre-India group of videos where she boarded the plane in Amsterdam in order to go for a trip and trying to find a MC to buy to travel in India and occasionally came across a shop where they sold the old former British brand Royal Enfield. We followed the whole complicated buying process in India where foreigners are not allowed to buy Indian and own vehicles in the country. Sadly I can't find these videos no more.
@@ursus9104 if there were such videos, that were not about Noraly. She described a process on her site: she went to India and by chance took a Royal Enfield Himalayan for travel in Ladakh. After the travel she decided to buy her own RE. So not occasionally a shop - but a rental company, and she had not cameras at a time as per her comments.
The tradition with pea soup once a week started in the army and navy back when we had a large military all over europe... As peas are high in vitamin C it prevented scurvy in the troops.. The pancakes is just a bonus! :D
Can you believe that in New York City, they still have that tradition in all the local diners? Are we sure it started in the military? Reading online, it says it's a religious tradition... hmmm anyway, it's interesting...
@@Michelenergy the peasoup in Scandinavia can be traced back to the Viking age, but the origin of it beaing eaten on thursday has to do with when Sweden was catholic. You would fast on Friday. And later in the 1800 the pancake was added with the pea soup. But it is really only the military that has had that tradition in Sweden but since everyone had to do military service all knows the pea soup and pancake from their time in the military.
So nice to see you in my country. The Police is the best here. When I was in Gotland it was heavy rainstorms. My tent fell apart and no hotel avalible in Visby, so the Police took me in for the night when I asked....quite volounteerly.
Police in the USA get on the job training that safe European countries never will get. When you work in the hood you learn more than a classroom can teach you. There are two types of intelligence, book/classroom, and street smarts.
I was a cop in the US and I have two college degrees. Please don't spout out that police aren't educated because it isn't true. I also made a very high salary where I worked.
Police in Sweden and other countries can be nice and helpful because they aren't dealing with gang members, drug dealers and people trying to kill them like in America.
I-m trying to catch up with the videos and every day I watch several. I love all of them mainly because they are so positive in tone and happy too. Best to you and Godspeed.
I also am watching S1 and came across one of your interviews of what it takes to do this and thought you work so hard on this and have to put up with the bad people that that get pleasure out of hurting you. Please don't let it get you down. We need people like you that are truly human to inspire us, me, to do better. Thanks Noraly, Davidlee
What a cool looking square...we don't quite have buildings of that age here. The copper seemed like a nice bloke too. Thanks for sharing. Potsie. Australia.
Riddarholmen (Knight islet) is one of the oldest parts of Stockholm, but for many years now the small island has been inhabited mostly by different courts and government agencies, hence the emptyness of the square.
I started to look at your channel to see the lovely places that I probably not will go to myself, and now you ended up driving in my "backyard"! God content as usal and welcome to my home Stockholm!
I wish that more police just came up and said hi or help with something minor. If they only show up when there's something possibly dangerous, they'll be much more on edge (bad work environment) - People around police on edge will also get on edge, and people who are already on edge might get tipped over the edge of reasonable thinking. I think if the police has nothing in particular to do, they should just hang out and relax with the general public, get to know people. It's good on many fronts I think. I'm so glad you got a chance to get in touch with a friendly cop. It kinda chills out the whole view of the country ^^
What a lovely video. First the pea soup and pannkakor and in the end the changing of the guards. It took me back to 2001 when I did my military service. I remember having ärtsoppa and pannkaka in the royal castle during my service as a palace guard. Thanks for sharing and welcome back.
My finger automatically goes to the like button without even seeing the video......thats the amount of quality and positivity your videos have....cheers Noraly ..
You are not only one. I sign even before watching dear Noraly and give a thumps up for I know it would be fantastic. Noraly doesn't accept anything less than super.
Agree with you, positivity and quality! Same here, I often see the new title coming up when I am at work, I then click the like button and save the video for later. Thank you Noraly, ride safe!
Haha! Id never expect to get a randomly recommended video just to instantly recognize my grandmothers house! Very seldomly encounter videos from Gotland. Very fun. Hope you enjoyed your stay! I live 5 min from the ferry :)
as a swede it's nice to see some positivity being spread about my country for once. Nowadays people look past how beautiful our country is and only look at the worst parts, really sad
Hallo Noraly! My husband follows your videos and sometimes we watch them together, you've got such a positive energy! Between 1992-1993 I lived in Bräcke/Sweden with my family. It's a small but beautiful place, I remember we were going to the lake regularly. One of the best times of my childhood were spent there, so when we saw you're heading to Sweden I was a bit excited 🙃 I wonder if you could possibly go there also. My husband is curious to know the place of my childhood memories. (He is from Turkey 🇹🇷 but was born in Vlaardingen 🇳🇱 and I'm from Kosovo 🇽🇰 ) Keep it up and have a safe riding 🏍
Hi Noraly! It feels strange to see you riding on some of the same streets I rode on my bike on my way to work before my accident. I also took my bike to Gotland a few times to get my fill of adrenalin, doing fast laps round Gotlan Ring, a race track on northern Gotland. I'm glad you got to see Stockholm in all its summer beauty. Eager to see where you're off to next. Ride safe!
OMG I recognized the street in the beginning and then was like "wait a minute THAT'S GOTLAND, THAT'S MY HOME!!" The video started playing automatically so was caught of guard, my sister is working on the boat you went on 😊
So nice to see you in my homecountry and I hope you will meet friendly people at all of your stops including our Police. Looking forward to your upcoming videos and I hope you will have time to visit the westcoast where I live. It would be interesting to see our part of the country through your eyes. Have a nice trip and God bless you.😃
Nice to watch you riding trough this marvellous town. As a grown-up in Rotterdam I like cities on a waterfront. Tanks and greetings from The Netherlands.
Noraly! My wife and I have been really surprised by the desolate and beautiful landscapes of Iceland, what an incredible country! Will you show us the Scandinavian Alps soon? Thank you for rejoicing in these difficult times of a pandemic. We wish you good routes and great adventures in the future, kisses from Mendoza, Argentina!
Alps are a mountain row in Central Europe. They are not a synonym for a mountain row, Alps are a name for a specific mountain row, similar to the Himalajas. The mountain row in Scandinavia is called... Scandinavia.
The tradition with peasoup is actually from the 1700.... Sweden had a huge harvest of peas (mainly because the didn't grow anything else) And they needed to get rid of the surplus. So the King ordered everybody to eat more peasoup and of course mainly the army. This is why it is a tradition in Sweden and Finland , which used to be part of Sweden at that time. For the pancakes I'm not so sure. Basically it is to complement the meal since a soup is not that much food and pancakes is easy to make and tastes yummy...
Thanks for sharing! We actually have the same in The Netherlands, especially in the winter and during ice skating season. We eat pea soup (or erwtensoep in Dutch) - also known colloquially as “snert” - and pancakes that are (as far as I’ve seen) similar to the Swedish ones. We put either chocolate paste, jam, cheese, bacon or even apple(!) on.
I had a similar event in Derby (UK) once . I drove a lefthand van and had some troubles finding my hotel for that day. I was tired from all the driving and parked somewhere that wasn't allowed but i had to look at my maps again. A policecar and even an ambulance stopped near me and they got out. I thought i was in trouble but the policeman said, ' are ya lost mate' and i told him i couldn't find my hotel. He put his hand on my shoulder ,turned me around and said, if you look and that building with the red flags, there it is. The woman at the ambulance lived in Holland for a couple of years and just chatted with me in dutch, because she saw that i was shyting my pants for a brief moment because i thought i would get a ticket for bad parking. Lovely people. Another surprise occurred to me when a lady from that hotel started talking to me in South african language to me and she was curious if a dutchman could understand South african and vice versa. It was a great day and a great adventure
I'm retired Army and spent a lot of time in Germany. Really sucks cuz I'm Swedish and never made it to Sweden. 13 countries under my belt but not my ancestral homeland. Could've made my way to Bremerhaven and took a ferry on a four day pass but just never got the chance. So Noraly, I say thank you because at least I get to see some of the country through your eyes.
Noraly and all those from Scandinavia -- I am originally from New York City (Manhattan). I used to go to eat at the local diners, and I noticed that Thursdays were always split pea soup day. It wasn't even just at my particular diner, it seemed to be at all the diners (well, not that I've eaten at them all, as there are so many in NYC -- LOL)... Anyway, it was quite interesting to see this video regarding Swedish tradition. Thank you so much for posting. P.S. That cop is so adorable! LOL ;-)
At 14.50 you are basically pointing at the building where I and my gf has our motorcycle garage on the island of Södermalm in Stockholm. We could have helped you with your oil change. Two Enfield’s inside our garage. Classic 500’s. And some other bikes as well. 😊 Fun to see our home town in your clip. Thank you. 😊🙏
@@ambassadorkees As we do, and as every neighboring country have about people they actually like. I hated those jokes growing up. They weren't funny, and they were about friends.

@@sy97cri I agree,, I do not have any experiences with the Swedish policies, but the little experiences i have with the danish polish. They are there to help, and super professional.
@@bob8688 Swedish, German and Finnish police on average, get training for 120 weeks (3-5 years) and they are proffessional in every way. American police average around 10-15 weeks and they are what they are now. In Europe being a police is an esteemed and respected career choice, in USA they are dealt as the everyday job.
@@bob8688 Translation: They caught me speeding while drunk and now i have to take out my aggression on someone so let it be the cops because i can do no wrong.
We also have the pea soup + pancake tradition in Finland, but I don't know anybody who eats it every Thursday anymore (apart from the army). Nowadays it's still common to eat it every year during a winter celebration called Laskiainen (associated with Shrove Tuesday ). Also worth noting that the pancakes are not the same as in the Netherlands or the USA, but this one is made in the oven. It's a very comforting food combination to eat especially in the winter months!
one of the most amazing things is that you show people that the meaning of life is to discover this earth without fear and using your skills in/about life you are able to utilize out on our mother earth !!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice interaction with the friendly Swedish police. It reminded me of a time when I was dispatching in London. I was at the traffic lights waiting to turn right over Vauxhall Bridge and a small bike with large ape hanger handlebars pulled up next to me with a motorcycle policeman in full gear riding it, most unusual... I looked down to see what type of bike it was and as I scanned up noticing that he was really in full motorcycle outfit, I got to eye level and he was staring quite agressively straight into my eyes and said, in a gruff voice.. "Don't laugh !!".. I nearly fell off my bike laughing.
‘77 - I was dispatching on a BMWR75 at lights, Victoria Station, when police Triumph Bonneville pulls up next to me. Cursory exchange and nod (not too many BMs around then & Met just awaiting their first consignment) Lights change & I’m gone. After about 800 yds he catches me up and yells “ Don’t ever do that again!” & speeds off.🤭🤣🤣
@@davidcooper1592 Ahhh, those days before speed cameras were great fun. Police, especially motorcycle cops can be really nice people if you don't have an attitude with them..
Me earlier today: "this is a neat channel, I'll watch this for a bit." Me, many hours later and 30 episodes deep: "Why have I never brought a bike and gone on an adventure?"
Pea-soup on thursdays has roots back to the First World War in the armed forces and the strict rationing that was back then. But in those days you would be served a 10 by 10 centimeter square "oven pancake" with the soup, one teaspoon of jam and one teaspoon of mustard. The day before the pea pods would be served in a stew, soldiers called them "ristugg" (rice chew) because you had to chew the pods to get out the small spiky spine that was in the pods :D
Hearing you trying to pronounce Swedish words like Dutch is funny :). Amazing that you tried out ärtsoppa med pannkakor! Peasoup thursdays are also a big tradition here in Finland, in both the military and also in restaurants and school restaurants. In Finland the pancake is different, its a big slice from a traditional Finnish oven pancake. So in Finland-Swedish it would be just one pancake: ärtsoppa med pannkaka.
Very helpful police officer. The part of Stockholm you were in looks very pretty, and the weather looked great too. We've been enjoying the trip so much, we nearly forgot about maintenance on Ronin. The Motorcycle community seems very amenable around the World...nice ✌🙂.
@@gjdezzo1628 I think it must be (somewhat) different. Don't think we put mustard in erwtensoep, so the Swedish version could have more kick? I should like to try it, even if it looks like snot ;-)
@@filibertkraxner305 well, traditionally, we don't put the mustard in the soup itself while cooking the soup, but add a dollop of it on top when it's in the bowl, as I think she did here. But basically it's yellow peas cooked in a broth with chunks of cured ham hock or pork shank, and flavoured with marjoram and thyme.
This was such an entertaining episode, thanks for being so real and showing us little experiences like dealing with an insect - stuff that all motorcyclists deal with on a daily basis! 😄
The peasoup tradition originated already back in the 1200's, in the old farming /peasant society it was a treat before the catholic Friday fasting. In the 1700's the Swedish arrak punsh was introduced at the military officers mess to reduce the farts😂

Not just the police, everyone I've met in Sweden is super nice
Here in the US they would have beating you and then charged you for some random crime.
@@4tech69 and that's just the Grammar Police !
@@4tech69 Never heard of that. How about try NOT to pull a gun on the cop.
Haven't you noticed already: everyone is nice and friendly with Noraly! And vice versa.
Well it's the same in Finland for the pea soup and pancakes, for Finland it was because they had an excess of peas so a minister urged the population to eat peas. so it was made that Thursday would be pea soup day with pancakes.
That spread to Sweden eventually. Since Finland was a part of Sweden for almost 700 years we’ve always had a close connection.
@Luke yeet ew? Tf you on about
We show big respect to the Swedish Police❤️🙏
@Viktor X yes they have? Wtf
@Viktor X Haha, what? Of course they have! Plus, they just wanted to help!
@The Valkist the police will arrest you if what you're doing is illegal enough to be warranting an arrest, if it's nothing as dire as that they will either issue a fine, a warning, or just talk to you and try to get you to stop and understand why what you're doing is wrong. Our police is great, sadly our politians are too airheaded and retarded to give the police what they actually need to properly do their jobs.
I speak swedish and i live in sweden
@The Valkist Sadly ure wrong, I've lived in Sweden all my life and some of my family members and friends even work on the force. I do believe I know what I'm saying here, but you're free to believe what you want, we do live in a democracy.
Hi, Norali, I am argentinian, and I iked your short conversation with the other motobiker while having breakfast!. I would like you to show more interaction with the locals, for us to know something more about people of other countries. Thanks for your constant effort to show us as much as possible of the road, and curiosities!
Hi I'm from Algeria
Noraly Attenborough: here we observe a Swedish wasp attempting to enter its natural habitat of a motorcyclist's helmet. Simply marvelous, isn't it? 😶😁
Holy! I read this in sir David Attenborough's voice 😂😂
Lol. That was cool 😎 Trebor
Wasps like to pick dead insects off the front of your bike but only if they are freshly killed. They search all over the front of cars and bikes and sometimes will check out screens, jackets and helmets. They are not aggressive when they are feeding and easily deterred with a gentle tap, they become more aggressive later in the season when there are less insects and they have to forage for fruit, that is when their nests have started to collapse and they no longer have a colony.
LOL Trebor! :D
Trebor LOL Very good!!
While stationed in Germany in the mid 70’s, as a couple in our mid 20’s, we took leave, vacation, through Denmark and Sweden, by car. We camped during our travels and found a nice campground in Stockholm. It was sunny when we arrived, but the next morning it rained and rained for the next 3 days while we were there. The day we had to leave, it was sunny. Go figure. We toured Stockholm the best we could considering all the rain, but wished we could of done more, without the rain. Stockholm is definitely a beautiful city. Funny story. Being a US Army Soldier and American, traveling has some interesting adventures. After arriving in Sweden, we found a campground along the coast and set up camp. The wife and I decided to eat at the cafe in the campground, as opposed to trying to find a place outside the campground. When our waiter arrived at our table, we asked him if he had an English menu, which he said no. We asked him if he had a German menu, again he said no. We looked at the Swedish menu and with a translation book, we tried to order something. When our meal arrived, what we ordered were cold pancakes. We started to eat, when the owner of the cafe came by and stopped us from eating. Everybody in the cafe had a big laugh on us Americans, then the owner brought us an English menu. We then ordered, ate and when we went to pay the bill, the owner said, since we took their joke on us so well, the meal was free. Since something like this had happened to us before, we just shrugged it off and went with the flow. Everyone in the cafe came by our table and told us they were glad we stopped by and hoped we have a good time while visiting their country. Traveling can definitely be an adventure. Just don’t let anything get under your skin.
Wise words
@@FxRiderST yes there are lots of motorists here in Europe, in speacial italy france spain(my country) the places with good weather, we also have a sport called Moto GP which is the same as F1 but with motos🥴
Hope youve had a nice time in my lovely country Spain
@@FxRiderST it is very often people who have some spare money to buy a bike besides the SUV and the car for the wife. I had a female colleague who was biking but you dont find that often. You have the notorious biker gangs called hells angels or bandidos and you recognize them by the look. Not so many anyway.
@@FxRiderST You should watch some videos from the tourist trophy on the isle of Man. Makes me feel dizzy just from watching.
It IS odd how your presence is so real and in the moment that i automatically reached out to brush your wasp away. I am 70 so i can remember the first appearance of television... radio with pictures right in our living room. My mother was born in 1916 and we talked now and then about making the change from horse to tractor on the farm... and from the winter horse drawn sleigh to riding in the first car. Technology now has put us at each others virtual fingertips. Riding as you do with several cameras... the feeling is very close to being there. And how you can juggle all of this and puzzle it together for us and make it look like it happens quite casually by itself. Like people say about the bees... busybusybusy, Itchy Boots.
Loved the ride around Stockholm.
I am 48, I always had TV at home, but still TH-cam and videoconference amaze me. I lived in China for some time and I could show my mom in Spain my workplace, apartment, ... 👍👌. What I do remember clearly is the high prices for international phone calls, that is a thing of the past.
This is so cute my man, I hope you had a nice life and will continue to have it for many years. Greetings from sweden.
I am only fifteen and we only got a tv 3 years ago but it doesn’t even have channels.
@@willyorraw5480 We have tv for 6 years and still use it without channels
I'm just 20 and I believe we, as in me and my family, have always had access to TV and phones, but I do enjoy hearing things like this as it really makes one realize how fast technology is advancing.
People in Sweden are very nice. I loved Stockholm too! I especially liked old Stockholm. I really enjoyed being able to see it again! There are soooo many beautiful places and interesting things to see in Sweden as you travel the countryside. So glad it was one of the countries you choose to see and that you're loving it!
@Melmano nah, kind to everybody
Have been living in this amazing country for the last 8 years!
Sweds are the best people in the world 🌎
After my country 🇧🇩 I love Sweden 🇸🇪 most!!!
Nice people ,beautiful country, very good laws and regulations!!
And no shooting in in Rinkeby or Fittja at the night!
It was nice to have seen bits of Stockholm. I've been there once and it was one of my best trips ever. That square with the Royal building is really fresh in my memory. I liked Stockholm better than Copenhagen.
Damn right you do! 😎👍
Hello Noraly. I have been following you since you started your Joyner back in india with the Royal Enfield motorcycle and have been a regular follower watching all your Vidoes of travel 25+ countries and then the Patagonia season and Iceland. Now you're in Sweden and I am still watching your videos with the same enthusiasm. Love to you back from India. 💙💙
Me too, but I recall there was a pre-India group of videos where she boarded the plane in Amsterdam in order to go for a trip and trying to find a MC to buy to travel in India and occasionally came across a shop where they sold the old former British brand Royal Enfield. We followed the whole complicated buying process in India where foreigners are not allowed to buy Indian and own vehicles in the country. Sadly I can't find these videos no more.
@@ursus9104 if there were such videos, that were not about Noraly. She described a process on her site: she went to India and by chance took a Royal Enfield Himalayan for travel in Ladakh. After the travel she decided to buy her own RE. So not occasionally a shop - but a rental company, and she had not cameras at a time as per her comments.
Always nice to see two bikers interact & discuss bikes and upcoming destinations they intend to take up.. 🙂👍
The tradition with pea soup once a week started in the army and navy back when we had a large military all over europe... As peas are high in vitamin C it prevented scurvy in the troops.. The pancakes is just a bonus! :D
Can you believe that in New York City, they still have that tradition in all the local diners? Are we sure it started in the military? Reading online, it says it's a religious tradition... hmmm anyway, it's interesting...
@@Michelenergy the peasoup in Scandinavia can be traced back to the Viking age, but the origin of it beaing eaten on thursday has to do with when Sweden was catholic. You would fast on Friday. And later in the 1800 the pancake was added with the pea soup. But it is really only the military that has had that tradition in Sweden but since everyone had to do military service all knows the pea soup and pancake from their time in the military.
So nice to see you in my country. The Police is the best here. When I was in Gotland it was heavy rainstorms. My tent fell apart and no hotel avalible in Visby, so the Police took me in for the night when I asked....quite volounteerly.
Good Morning Internet on the hoof
Even Rushed it still brings a smile.
Brilliant
Can tell you are at peace in Sweden 🇸🇪
Enjoyed the video.(as usual)Kudos to the police officer and the Motorcycle dealer.🇨🇦
Very impressive that the police saw you searching and figured out where you were trying to be.
Did you ask his phone number?
@@toqtoq3361Becoming a police officer takes 2,5 years at the police academy in Sweden, and it's a quite tough selection process to get accepted there.
Police in the USA get on the job training that safe European countries never will get. When you work in the hood you learn more than a classroom can teach you. There are two types of intelligence, book/classroom, and street smarts.
I was a cop in the US and I have two college degrees. Please don't spout out that police aren't educated because it isn't true. I also made a very high salary where I worked.
Police in Sweden and other countries can be nice and helpful because they aren't dealing with gang members, drug dealers and people trying to kill them like in America.
So happy you like my hometown. 🇸🇪🇸🇪
I-m trying to catch up with the videos and every day I watch several. I love all of them mainly because they are so positive in tone and happy too. Best to you and Godspeed.
Here I go again...living vicariously through Noraly! Great video!...but then there is never a bad video 🙂 Thanks for the ride along 🏍🇺🇸
Battle of the Wasp...
Holy hell that was funny when Noraly asks the camera where it is 🤣😂😅
Thanks for the giggle 🤭
Neighborhood radar (motorcycle) officer. On my bicycle I always wave to him. He clocked me at 7 mph -- well, it was up hill.
I also am watching S1 and came across one of your interviews of what it takes to do this and thought you work so hard on this and have to put up with the bad people that that get pleasure out of hurting you. Please don't let it get you down. We need people like you that are truly human to inspire us, me, to do better. Thanks Noraly, Davidlee
What a cool looking square...we don't quite have buildings of that age here. The copper seemed like a nice bloke too.
Thanks for sharing. Potsie. Australia.
You do have 40.000 year old art though. I think you beat pretty much everyone.
Riddarholmen (Knight islet) is one of the oldest parts of Stockholm, but for many years now the small island has been inhabited mostly by different courts and government agencies, hence the emptyness of the square.
Was watching another motorcycle video when an alert popped up for Noraly. Paused the video and jumped over to Noraly's video. :-)
Happened to me a few times too. Itchy boots gets prime time in my books! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
.... the same happened with me
I started to look at your channel to see the lovely places that I probably not will go to myself, and now you ended up driving in my "backyard"! God content as usal and welcome to my home Stockholm!
I wish that more police just came up and said hi or help with something minor.
If they only show up when there's something possibly dangerous, they'll be much more on edge (bad work environment) - People around police on edge will also get on edge, and people who are already on edge might get tipped over the edge of reasonable thinking.
I think if the police has nothing in particular to do, they should just hang out and relax with the general public, get to know people. It's good on many fronts I think.
I'm so glad you got a chance to get in touch with a friendly cop. It kinda chills out the whole view of the country ^^
What a lovely video. First the pea soup and pannkakor and in the end the changing of the guards. It took me back to 2001 when I did my military service. I remember having ärtsoppa and pannkaka in the royal castle during my service as a palace guard. Thanks for sharing and welcome back.
Noraly, the adventure and History lesson continues.

as a swede it's nice to see some positivity being spread about my country for once. Nowadays people look past how beautiful our country is and only look at the worst parts, really sad
Hallo Noraly! My husband follows your videos and sometimes we watch them together, you've got such a positive energy! Between 1992-1993 I lived in Bräcke/Sweden with my family. It's a small but beautiful place, I remember we were going to the lake regularly. One of the best times of my childhood were spent there, so when we saw you're heading to Sweden I was a bit excited 🙃 I wonder if you could possibly go there also. My husband is curious to know the place of my childhood memories. (He is from Turkey 🇹🇷 but was born in Vlaardingen 🇳🇱 and I'm from Kosovo 🇽🇰 ) Keep it up and have a safe riding 🏍
I never will be able to visit these places, so your taking me away if for only 15 minutes.

Hi Noraly!
It feels strange to see you riding on some of the same streets I rode on my bike on my way to work before my accident. I also took my bike to Gotland a few times to get my fill of adrenalin, doing fast laps round Gotlan Ring, a race track on northern Gotland. I'm glad you got to see Stockholm in all its summer beauty. Eager to see where you're off to next. Ride safe!
That soup and pancake tradition is the same in Finland too, every Thursday it is served in most of the lunch restaurants.
OMG I recognized the street in the beginning and then was like "wait a minute THAT'S GOTLAND, THAT'S MY HOME!!" The video started playing automatically so was caught of guard, my sister is working on the boat you went on 😊
She shoots such a fascinating show for us. Never a dull moment, never a waisted minute. 👍🏼 😎
So nice to see you in my homecountry and I hope you will meet friendly people at all of your stops including our Police. Looking forward to your upcoming videos and I hope you will have time to visit the westcoast where I live. It would be interesting to see our part of the country through your eyes. Have a nice trip and God bless you.😃
I just wonder something why most swedish people doesnt Wear mask?and by the way ı love sweden grettings from turkey 🇸🇪🇹🇷

Nice to watch you riding trough this marvellous town. As a grown-up in Rotterdam I like cities on a waterfront.
Tanks and greetings from The Netherlands.
Stockholm is a very beautiful city, like every video, thank you! Sweden ❤️
Noraly, Stockholm looks so beautiful. Glad that you can Ronin serviced. Thank you for providing such wonderful content. Stay safe and take care.
Noraly! My wife and I have been really surprised by the desolate and beautiful landscapes of Iceland, what an incredible country! Will you show us the Scandinavian Alps soon? Thank you for rejoicing in these difficult times of a pandemic. We wish you good routes and great adventures in the future, kisses from Mendoza, Argentina!
No alps in scandinavia, only mountains 🙃
”Fjäll” They’re significantly eroded by the ice ages, in contrast with the Alps.
Alps are a mountain row in Central Europe. They are not a synonym for a mountain row, Alps are a name for a specific mountain row, similar to the Himalajas.
The mountain row in Scandinavia is called... Scandinavia.
The tradition with peasoup is actually from the 1700.... Sweden had a huge harvest of peas (mainly because the didn't grow anything else) And they needed to get rid of the surplus. So the King ordered everybody to eat more peasoup and of course mainly the army. This is why it is a tradition in Sweden and Finland , which used to be part of Sweden at that time. For the pancakes I'm not so sure. Basically it is to complement the meal since a soup is not that much food and pancakes is easy to make and tastes yummy...
Thanks for sharing! We actually have the same in The Netherlands, especially in the winter and during ice skating season. We eat pea soup (or erwtensoep in Dutch) - also known colloquially as “snert” - and pancakes that are (as far as I’ve seen) similar to the Swedish ones. We put either chocolate paste, jam, cheese, bacon or even apple(!) on.
I had a similar event in Derby (UK) once . I drove a lefthand van and had some troubles finding my hotel for that day. I was tired from all the driving and parked somewhere that wasn't allowed but i had to look at my maps again. A policecar and even an ambulance stopped near me and they got out. I thought i was in trouble but the policeman said, ' are ya lost mate' and i told him i couldn't find my hotel. He put his hand on my shoulder ,turned me around and said, if you look and that building with the red flags, there it is. The woman at the ambulance lived in Holland for a couple of years and just chatted with me in dutch, because she saw that i was shyting my pants for a brief moment because i thought i would get a ticket for bad parking. Lovely people. Another surprise occurred to me when a lady from that hotel started talking to me in South african language to me and she was curious if a dutchman could understand South african and vice versa. It was a great day and a great adventure
I spent two days in Stockholm. Really wish I had more time to see the city! I did not have my motorcycle, so we walked everywhere.
Next time use the underground trams. Saves a lot of time. Sure you miss some parts, but some parts of Stockholm aren't that interesting
@@subunite Not to mention some are voted to be the most beautiful metro stations in the world
Good evening Noraly, it's midnight and a big 👍's up.
Every bikers worst fear, wasps and bees...😁
I'm retired Army and spent a lot of time in Germany. Really sucks cuz I'm Swedish and never made it to Sweden. 13 countries under my belt but not my ancestral homeland. Could've made my way to Bremerhaven and took a ferry on a four day pass but just never got the chance. So Noraly, I say thank you because at least I get to see some of the country through your eyes.
Noraly and all those from Scandinavia -- I am originally from New York City (Manhattan). I used to go to eat at the local diners, and I noticed that Thursdays were always split pea soup day. It wasn't even just at my particular diner, it seemed to be at all the diners (well, not that I've eaten at them all, as there are so many in NYC -- LOL)... Anyway, it was quite interesting to see this video regarding Swedish tradition. Thank you so much for posting. P.S. That cop is so adorable! LOL ;-)
I like your great respect to the Police force, and useful tip about foreign dealerships giving assistance to travellers.. 👍👍 Danny 😎🌈🌈
At 14.50 you are basically pointing at the building where I and my gf has our motorcycle garage on the island of Södermalm in Stockholm. We could have helped you with your oil change. Two Enfield’s inside our garage. Classic 500’s. And some other bikes as well. 😊 Fun to see our home town in your clip. Thank you. 😊🙏
That meal combination! Will just have to trust your view😋 - another great one👍🏽👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@kape351 Agree. I am making my own mustard too, realy strong. Love it
Ha Ha, Itchy, that made my day......."A wasp getting amorous with you". And look at how fast it got the brush off. And the look afterwards! Wonderful!
Cant believe out of all places you found/went to Stadshuset (City hall) for pea soup and panncakes. Its actually one of the top places for this 😀
You are my idol. Just going around in the world with a bike. Who would not do that! And this time in my home town Stockholm. Love it!
Actually I was expecting the name of that food from that biker guy. But his "I don't know" made me laugh. I hope you will see him again 😁😁😁😁

We also have the pea soup + pancake tradition in Finland, but I don't know anybody who eats it every Thursday anymore (apart from the army). Nowadays it's still common to eat it every year during a winter celebration called Laskiainen (associated with Shrove Tuesday
). Also worth noting that the pancakes are not the same as in the Netherlands or the USA, but this one is made in the oven. It's a very comforting food combination to eat especially in the winter months!
one of the most amazing things is that you show people that the meaning of life is to discover this earth without fear and using your skills in/about life you are able to utilize out on our mother earth !!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Nice interaction with the friendly Swedish police. It reminded me of a time when I was dispatching in London. I was at the traffic lights waiting to turn right over Vauxhall Bridge and a small bike with large ape hanger handlebars pulled up next to me with a motorcycle policeman in full gear riding it, most unusual... I looked down to see what type of bike it was and as I scanned up noticing that he was really in full motorcycle outfit, I got to eye level and he was staring quite agressively straight into my eyes and said, in a gruff voice.. "Don't laugh !!".. I nearly fell off my bike laughing.
‘77 - I was dispatching on a BMWR75 at lights, Victoria Station, when police Triumph Bonneville pulls up next to me.
Cursory exchange and nod (not too many BMs around then & Met just awaiting their first consignment)

Hi Noraly, Watching your awesome travel video from Somalia, thanks and stay safe.
Me earlier today: "this is a neat channel, I'll watch this for a bit."
Me, many hours later and 30 episodes deep: "Why have I never brought a bike and gone on an adventure?"
Pea-soup on thursdays has roots back to the First World War in the armed forces and the strict rationing that was back then.
But in those days you would be served a 10 by 10 centimeter square "oven pancake" with the soup, one teaspoon of jam and one teaspoon of mustard.
The day before the pea pods would be served in a stew, soldiers called them "ristugg" (rice chew) because you had to chew the pods to get out the small spiky spine that was in the pods :D
So fun to see my city from you're perspective
I can't say enough great things about the Swedish Police!!!
7:34 Noraly! Welcome to my hometown Stockholm! Välkommen till Stockholm!
Great to see swedish police are so friendly
They often are very nice
So cool, because i live in Visby on Gotland 😅 I live about 3-4 minutes from the harbour shown in the beginning of this video. 😊
This is the first episode that popped up in TH-cam, made me start watching your channel from the first season, now I'm here again,. Let's go
Hearing you trying to pronounce Swedish words like Dutch is funny :). Amazing that you tried out ärtsoppa med pannkakor! Peasoup thursdays are also a big tradition here in Finland, in both the military and also in restaurants and school restaurants. In Finland the pancake is different, its a big slice from a traditional Finnish oven pancake. So in Finland-Swedish it would be just one pancake: ärtsoppa med pannkaka.
Loved your vid, I was visiting Stockholm exactly at this time last year and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Melbourne, Australia is my home.
Great work Noraly. Loving your European odyssey, really interesting to those of us not from your part of the world.
My favorite place there has always been the Old Town !!! Lovely !
Very helpful police officer. The part of Stockholm you were in looks very pretty, and the weather looked great too. We've been enjoying the trip so much, we nearly forgot about maintenance on Ronin. The Motorcycle community seems very amenable around the World...nice ✌🙂.
I like swedish. They’re very good and sweet people. When I was stockholm, I liked this country.
When you said it's Thursday I immediately knew it was "ärtsoppa" and pancakes. We've got the very same habit here in Finland.
Sounds like 'erwtensoep' in Dutch so could be the same recipe?
@@gjdezzo1628 Possibly. I can say that even though Itchy said it's delicious I've always though it looked like snot. :D
@@gjdezzo1628 I think it must be (somewhat) different. Don't think we put mustard in erwtensoep, so the Swedish version could have more kick? I should like to try it, even if it looks like snot ;-)
@@filibertkraxner305 well, traditionally, we don't put the mustard in the soup itself while cooking the soup, but add a dollop of it on top when it's in the bowl, as I think she did here. But basically it's yellow peas cooked in a broth with chunks of cured ham hock or pork shank, and flavoured with marjoram and thyme.
@@Domitianvs Sounds great :-)
This was such an entertaining episode, thanks for being so real and showing us little experiences like dealing with an insect - stuff that all motorcyclists deal with on a daily basis! 😄
The peasoup tradition originated already back in the 1200's, in the old farming /peasant society it was a treat before the catholic Friday fasting. In the 1700's the Swedish arrak punsh was introduced at the military officers mess to reduce the farts😂
