- TMF Rewound - Riding Norway's Trollstigen Pass - World's greatest motorcycle rides: Two years ago I got to ride my BMW R1200GS from my home in Buckinghamshire all the way to the Arctic Circle, on an epic tour with Motorrad Tours. That trip included riding the epic "Trolls Ladder" (Trollstigen) Pass with my mate Richard. In case you missed it, here's that ride.....enjoy!

As others have said your trip to Norway is also an absolute favourite of mine, I’ve watched the whole series a couple of times and particular episodes literally multiple times !!
Wow that's amazing thank you - hopefully there will be some more epic tours next year (fingers crossed)....
Watched this when it first aired as part of the brilliant Artic circle series. It might be "a once in a lifetime" ride, bit definitely worth watching twice.
Cheers Gareth....
Dear Mr Fly. As an Norwegian I hope you have some more futage from the area you visited. What about Geiranger, Dalsniba(a sick view point), aurlandsvegen, strynsfjellet, Loen skylift, the lake called Loen and mutch more. Everything is in short distanse. Well, in the video you came from Geiranger😁. I have had several adventurebikes but enjoy a XC1200 Scrambler now, and love it🙂🙂👍
Check out my Norway tour - link at the end of the video...
What an amaizing road!!!!
Norway is a magical contry to ride, so many amazing views all around.
Wow, that valley is unreal, is that on this planet? Man, I cant remember anything like that in the States. That tour b us would make me stop, breathing for a second. The clouds actually add to the mystique of the scene. Well seems they moved in to cover the place. Maybe waiting it out is the trick. Thanks Flyer, enjoyed this one. It gives me goose bumps looking down the valley. I thought Montana had some winding downhills, that scene is wild. Don’t look down is right. What an RV! I would never take my RV down that mountain. Riding down can be scary if you wind it up too much and go hot into a 180 degree tight turn.
I did a Norwegian cruise a couple of years ago....stunning place. That road is now on my bucket list.
I remember hurtling down there in the late 60s in a Cortina, me driving my parents, who of course were shit scared as the road was much worse then with gravel surface and only some stones here and there as barriers. There is a similar road as this in that vintage condition today in the bottom of another valley of Eikesdalen. Nothing compared to the scary roads in Asia or South America, but still a bit hairy.
Thx for sharing, glad the clouds lifted for you.
This trip gets me right in the emotions. Genuinely inspiring and this is 100% going to be my first euro trip. Cheers TMF.
A cracker to start on I must say!
I have driven Trollsteegen in 1984 in my old Landrover. It was great fun
No traffic and no Restaurant. Had very good weather. Would love to do it again. I am a bit far away now . I am in South Africa now. Thank you for all your great videos. Realy enjoying them and your comments.
Like others on here, I've watched this tour multiple times, it's my favourite of yours, one on my to do list, beautiful country.
Defo better to wait till a good weather forecast has been given.
Shame they took the Newcastle to Bergen ferry out of service, now we have to ride all the way round
Amazing, just simply amazing!
This part of your Arctic Circle series has been seen in the household so many times, and is the one of the main reasons why I am saving to get into biking as an almost 50 year old. Thank you TMF, definitely going to get another watch of the series.
Wow, thank you...and good luck with your forthcoming test(s)!
"This is a Bruce moment: Loook aaaat thaaaaaaaaaat". Made me chuckle. Love you guys :D
Nothing wrong with re upload when you wake up to such an amazing ride
Thank you Vince - I thought it was worth reposting for anyone that may be a new subscriber....glad you enjoyed it again...
Looks brilliant, however have you ever been touring around Austria? I was touring there last summer, all of the mountains over there are completely white, with 9ft of snow either side of the road going up the main tourist mountain - the Grossglockner, at an impressive 3,800m above sea-level... It’s a very busy mountain in the tourist season though! However there is a far better (way off the tourist route map) alpine pass called the Nockalmstrasse, which simply blows that Trollstigen and the Glockner totally out of the water!! Amazing ride - the best days riding I’ve EVER done on a motorcycle... I can’t recommend riding that road highly enough, simply incredible!! There are an unbelievable 52 hairpins over it’s 34-kilometres length... I’m hoping to do it again next year 👍🏻
Withe beautiful scenery like that you don't need to ride fast. Almost just want to potter along and drink it all in. Fabulous Andy
Thanks Gary - and I agree!
WOW..what scenery.
Wonderful to see! Tusen takk. I’ve driven it twice as part of a tour across Norway from Sky to Kristiansund in ‘12. Completely socked in with no more than 30m vis and only glimpses of one of the most beautiful drives in the world... In ‘14 from Kristiansund to Geiranger and then a lazy loop return. Crystal clear blue sky and vis unlimited!! Norway is the worst place to drive because it is so beautiful, and I could hardly keep eyes on the road! Nearly every minute of driving, I was thinking of how it would be on my ‘Strom. 🤙🏼🍻🇨🇦🇳🇴
Yes I agree - a stunning country
@@TheMissendenFlyer Hope you turned ‘round out past the bottom and went back up. cheers
I did this trip in 1982 driving west from Lillehammers to Bergen on my Honda CX500, I was lucky, a clear day at the top I could see the Fjörds...."Breath Taking".
Rode Trollstigen more than 10 years ago but in the other direction, on a custom bike with a steering problem and keeping in my lane in all parts trying not to look down knowing there was only a 20 cm high cement "wall" keeping me from falling hundreds of meters. Scary, hard job, but fun. I think going both direction might give you twice as much so if i pass there again i will for sure turn back the other way and then turn again going wheever i was headed. A few minutes extra but a good memory for later. The look out points they have built seems nice, being able to walk to the edge without having to climb on the mountain but on a secure platform.
Nice video. Ride safe TMF.
Descended in lashing rain in 2015 and stayed at Andalsnes. Woke early the following morning to clear blue skys, and ragged it up and down before breakfast and whilst empty of traffic. Never to be forgotten.
Stop the day, go full screen... and enjoy. Saw it then, GLADLY watch it again. Incredible.
Absolutely stunning! Look forward to when I can travel further from home, but until then you're old travels will have to suffice. Thanks for reposting this. Stay safe.
Thank you Bruce.
Are we lucky boys? We are lucky boys! Epic ride👍👍
It's impossible to convey the sheer awesomeness of such a place in a YT vid, but you did well. Being from Prague, I've only been to Norway once, but fell in love with its nature and kind hearted people. Enjoy your trip!
Thank you for the reminder of this tour, Andy, worth another run through the great content! I hope to make it to Norway someday
As an ex pat living in Norway. Is was great to watch this video. This will be on my to do list in 2021, on my quadbike. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Been to Norway many times with work and it never fails to leave me speechless. I’m yet to do any of it on a bike..
TMF... Thank you for making my bucket list 1 item longer :-)
Any time!
Wow, what an epic ride in a truly majestic place. I only discovered your channel in the last few months, so thank you for putting this video back in the rotation, as it was truly a spectacular place and beautifully filmed. I have got to get my arse out of the USA (post-Covid, of course) and see some of the world before my time is up. Thank you so much for this - just breathtakingly beautiful, and great job on the riding, by the way, as some of those drop offs would have made my knees shake--I know the GS can handle some off roading, but not like that! Well done and stay safe!
Glad you enjoyed it - cheers!
SO beautiful, Norway is something else....Im planning to visit but driving from Finland....With a CBR 600RR and thats gonna hurt... lol
Beautiful isn't it....thanks for chaps like you sharing this with other riders that might not have the chance to ride at this heavenly place...👍👍👍
I've seen this video at least 6 times and it gets even better every time ,it was a nice surprise this morning I needed it for my Monday fix many thanks
Cheers Tony!
I did this in 2016... an amazing place tunnels ferries fjords and mountains .... it is similar to the mountain regions in nz
I rode this but you got better footage . Thanks a trip down memory lane .
That was fantastic! I was mesmerized by the scenery. Thanks for this!
What a delight! Thank you! I throughhly enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I live just a few hours from this road and the Atlantic road, fun to do on my Panigale. Lots of nice rods with spectacular view in Norway. Twisty roads and a dream on a motorbike.
How do you manage to keep your eyes on the road and not on all the spectacular scenery?
Have to do both, but with main focus om the road. And when you do this road every year you kind of her used to the spectacular view.
The Scenery & roads are simply spectacular. Enjoyed the ride with you sir.
As a Norwegian viewer, i have to admit, this is my favorite tour you and RichyVida have done. 💖💖💖
As others have said, I think this is your best tour series to date. Very jealous of the tour and weather!
Spectacular, thanks for sharing.
I’ve done a lot of trips around Norway using pedal / camper van power...a truly amazing country!!! I just wished they still had the ferry from Newcastle across as it’d make getting the motorbike over far easier.
Enjoyed that once again, thanks Andy.
What amazing ride that is definitely on my bucket list...what amazing views....stay safe....thanks for sharing
I’ve never seen this road before. It was absolutely breathtaking, beautiful job capturing it!
Brilliant. Really enjoyed that and wish I had a bike dash cam when I went round Europe a few years ago. I have now, suppose I have to go back all. Thanks for sharing.
Great video TMF. That scenery is stunning.
There is so much good in this and other of Your videos... man i am jealous :D Narrating, landscapes, footage, quality, cuts, storytelling. I really would like to one day be as good as You in everything :D
Wow, thank you!
Wonderful! Must've been really torn between enjoying the ride and enjoying the scenery. :)
Best one yet you actually get the feel of the ride thru the video CHEERS FROM FLORIDA
👍 I always enjoy you tour videos as they inspire me to do more traveling.
Wow, a bucket list item. I did it in 2014. Thanks for the great memories.
Awesome! Definately on my bucket list. Thanx for sharing! 🤟😎
I had the pleasure of riding Trollstigen this June, on a motorcycle trip with my brother. It was before most people had started their vacation, and of course there were no foreign tourists, so the amount of traffic was very low.
There are some truly amazing roads in Western Norway, especially in Møre og Romsdal and in Sogn og fjordane. Hope you enjoyed your rides here, and that you'll enjoy more of them in the future!
Rode Trollstigen like 3 years ago myself, and camped in Geiranger. I was born and raised in Norway, so it didn't impress me THAT much (we are spoiled by the scenery), but was definitely worth the trip.
Simply one of your best. Thanks for taking me along.
Glad you enjoyed it
Well, what a great ride. I was leaning into the bends and my wife asked me what I was doing :)
I now live in NZ (Ex. Grimsby) and I thought we had amazing scenery. This was even better. Great video Andy. Thanks again.
@John Lightfoot Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty
Having been to both i think nz has the edge for variety but both are places every traveller should visit
@@craigmayall7513 Ha! I'm just 'over the hills' (Kaimais) and 'up the road' from you in the 'seething metropolis' { :-p :-p }of Te Aroha!
The road to Milford Sound would rate a close-ish 2nd place compared to this here Trollstigen Pass. But given that for us here in the *real* Middle Earth, Milford Sound is only 3 days ride and a few hundy NZ$ away, it's a lot more affordable than going half way round the world and then spending mega Norwegian krone for motorbike hire. And so for us relatively speaking, Milford Sound highway is 'our' #1. And just to brag a bit more, Hobbiton is literally only 40mi/70km from where we both live.... :-D :-D
@@silverarrow2558 Just about a complete scenery change every 50mi/80km or so, eh?
As a born & bred Kiwi biker, I've ridden 'nearly everywhere' (incl Stewart Island!) in NZ and I can say that the South Island has the Big Sky/LOTR grandeur, while the North Island has more interesting/'technically challenging' back-country paved goat tracks than one can poke a stick at. Such roads in the North Island are tailor-made to be ridden on machines like DL650 VStroms, Teneres, CB500Xes, FireBlades and the like, rather than anything looking like a 'cruiser'.
I've watched your Norway trip so many times. I really wish I could go.
that sound off the grearbox is killing me.
What a ride ! I love the feeling of climbing an uphill curve.
Great video well filmed and very informative!
Great scenic views!
I enjoyed that more than I thought, I would love to go myself one day who knows.
Thanks for another great video 👍
A brilliant vid - Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Another fantastic video, scenery is mindblowing
It really is!
Awesome, I was there for first time last week camping. But with car though, would love to go there on motorcycle. That will be saved for the future. Cool you had a nice trip, great video as always 👍
Currently watching this series for the 3rd time. Its definitely my favourite one of all your trips and tours! 🇳🇴🏍
Wow, thanks!
Magnificent scenery. Wish I take my bike to Norway!
Very enjoyable. Great job. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Haha... LOOK at that! reference was point on 🤣 Great to see and hear your impressions of Trollstigen. In the old days, it just had the name Stigen (ladder) but i thing after the Troll Wall became famous they trow in Troll to make it more dramatic 👍🏻Glad you had nice weather on your visit. Have a good one! Cheers
That road is amazing. I wish I could get over there, maybe someday!
Nice to see one of your touring videos even if an old one. Stunning scenery and so lucky with the weather.
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s pronounced Olusund. Lived not far from there in the late ‘80s. Drove it in winter with no snow tyres!! Nothing on Earth compares with the Romsdal mountain range for sheer beauty and drama. And you cannot possibly just “tick it off” any list. The whole place lives with you forever. Moonlight in summer is amazing too. No light pollution, just crystal clear night. Cold, but awesome.
That's another ride to add the my list. Simply stunning landscape, great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow spectacular!
Yes, I watched it a few years ago, Andy. Fantastic. I had signed up to do a tour through Norway this coming August, but that is cancelled due to COVID. I now am planning on going to Cuba next April. I had watched a Stones Tour through South America, and their last concert was in Havana. The hospitality of the Cuban people was incredible. We’ll see what unfolds. Nice to have choices!
The clouds actually add to the visual drama of the scenery. Nice job!
Great looking road. Makes for dramatic footage that fog! Spectacular when the sun came out though 👍
That looks so stunning. I haven't ridden for a few years now, but I think I've spent too long putting others first!
You lucky duck fantastic video great to see while we are still in lockdown in Victoria oz 👍thanks
Absolutely stunningly beautiful! Thanks for taking us along👍
Glad you enjoyed it
👍 Great video with amazing scenery.
Thanks for watching!
Wow! beautiful road and scenery.
Yes, thank you
Awesome video! And thanks for the Litelok link, just ordered with your discount. 👍👌
Remember the Norway tour, great tour, think it’s time to watch it again.
That was one of the most enjoyable series to follow! Love the throwback. Keep on travelling, Andy! We'll be watching...
Well that last sentence sounded a bit more ominous than intended haha
Thanks! Will do!
Just awesone scenery! I've been to some of Norway's fjords, and I made a note-to-self not to drive on those roads as a tourist.
Because with all that to gawk at, I wouldn't make it past the first turn! :-)
Imagine having that on your doorstep! Absolutely stunning…..like you say! A once in a lifetime adventure. Great video. 😉
Thanks! 😃
that is abosolutly amazing
Reminds me of a trip to Chicago many years ago. My buddy took me up the Sears Tower. After about the 8th floor it was pea soup fog. Elevator ride was worth it, but way up on top - thicker fog. sigh.
If you get a chance, Going to the Sun Road in Glacier Park Montana. Western side of Logan Pass is similar (it's where I developed a certain fear of heights). Glacier Park has a Facebook page and they will post videos in the spring of their heavy equipment clearing the snow off the road (the poles give a clue to where the road should be).
Once in a while a tracked digger will take a dive off the edge and tumble to the bottom. Scary stuff!
Amazing video , great work TMF 👍
Thanks 👍
Looks so stunning
It is - thoroughly recommended!
you always do such a beautiful adventure for us.I really enjoy watching your rides. As always, Well done MATE.
Thank you Steve, I can’t wait to get back out and explore when this madness is over!
Nice to see back the big beemer and riding with Richard.
Reminds me of riding the in Sierra Nevada or Highway 1 in California, stunning scenery, wonderful Twisties, buffered by too much traffic. So you must get your fun in short bursts. RV 's are unavoidable.
I cant see the the smile on your face, but I know it still there! Cheers! 😀😀👍👍
Sure was!
That was awesome, thank you 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous. You are lucky boys!
Now that's really 'livin the dream'.
Bucketlist stuff for sure.
