Thomas.. Thank you.. Thank you for showing life isent perfect. we all have our masks we put on, we all have our demons.. but we all have the ability to make someone smile, and that is where you shine. you are a godsent, you are purehearted, just.. thank you thomas. Thank you.
Thomas you are not alone I’ve battled depression for 30 years I’ve learned a lot of what helps to overcome it. You are moving in the right direction getting out and enjoying the outdoors riding bikes and making content, I moved from Massachusetts to California as a means to help myself. The winters in Massachusetts are probably almost as severe as Norway And long winters compound my depression, I do believe in geological cures! But it takes more than that having the right people in your life makes a huge difference and having a mission that gives your life a meaningful purpose is important. I pray Gods supernatural help into your life
@@TalkTheRide good to here from you Thomas and thanks again for having the courage to share your battles so many around the world are in the same place trying to find a way to stay up and not sink down getting out riding around where you can enjoy the outdoors is always good I ride a 1996 Yamaha virago 750 & Yz125 for off-road. I wanted to recommend a few books on is lost connections by Johaan Hari it about what helped him overcome his battle with depression but also what helped other people overcome there’s as well. Another book is King Warrior magician lover by Micheal j Meade All of us must fight for a life that is healthy and good for ourselves so many get caught up in a way of living that does nothing for us in any good way so many jobs can grind you down to powder. I love to help people and I do through a ministry called celebrate recovery a ministry that helps people stay free from addiction but also depression anxiety ect. There is some good TH-cam channels that cover how to break free and stay free, what changes you need to make in your life for the sake of your own happiness & fulfillment And sometimes you have to get radical! Make big moves such as career change, move to a better country, get involved with connecting with people like yourself. I hope this helps you and other people not to be overwhelmed by what life can throw at you always remember there is a way to win and be happy!
Making content is therapy for you in my view. It’s where your mind wants to be perhaps. It’s natural for us humans to seek out things that make us feel good. Regardless of your struggles, your content is awesome, you’re a natural in front of the camera. Just continue to be yourself, that’s what your subscribers want, it’s really what keeps us coming back. 👊🏼
Thank you for being candid with us. I hope your channel keeps growing and the happiness level keeps rising. When you roll on that throttle and start laughing and having a blast it is very heartwarming, and makes me llaugh and feel a little of that joy with ya, so thank you. Those mirrors you put on are nice. In the video it looks like there is almost no vibration.
Thank you for the nice comment! 🙏👍😊 Glad to hear it. The mirrors are great, but there is a bit of vibration at certain speeds. Sometimes the cars back there do look a little blurry. 😃
kudos brother, authenticity demands courage and courage is the greatest attribute of all. By sharing your struggle you help others know they're not alone in struggling. That's an empowing gift. Respect. and thanks for the vids
Right now, I am on my way down south. Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, and back home to Denmark, 30 days of pure fun on the Tenere👍
Stay happy! It is nice to watch your content. You're a genuine person. And we all know there are always those darker moments. I appreciate that you talk about it. Hi from Sweden.
Thank you for the testimony. I see me in your words. It is not easy to know how to live. In one moment we are over the moon, and in the other we can be down. I find amazing how a motorcycle can be our medicine. There are other sources such as a bit of sport to make us feel powerful and relaxed. It also makes us better riders. Cheers from Portugal. Visit Portugal some day.
Hey Thomas, thanks for the video. I would recommend that you add an ultra lightweight camping chair to your camping outfit; adds a touch of civilization when you're out in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you, Thomas, for another great video. It takes a lot of courage to open up to strangers on the internet. However, those of us who have subscribed to your channel and watch each of your videos are not strangers, we are your friends. You are a special person which was evident from the very first video you posted. We fellow motorcyclists can certainly identify with the joy that riding a motorcycle brings you. It has been my passion for 55 years and still brings me unlimited joy every time I ride. I only wish we could get together here in Arizona and do some riding together. Please keep the videos coming. Your friend, Mark
It's very refreshing to watch how real you are, nothing fake. Life is not easy, and it is fun to see how this "outlet" has really fired you up and given you a counter-balance to the junk that gets thrown at you. Bravo!!
We're all human and usually things aren't always as good as videos show but I still love your style and enthusiasm. Saw a lot of frustrations during the mirror install video XD I lost my license last year getting a little too ambitious on a 120hp 636 and have been having a really rough year so watching your videos and seeing your enthusiasm helps. Keep it up.
We live in a golden age of helpful resources. I am mid way through the Tergar - Joy of Living program. It’s a graduated meditation course. I am finding it hugely beneficial. Hey, what luggage are you planning on getting? I recon the Kriega stuff would work pretty well.
@@seansixfive True, there are more resources now on mental health than ever 👍 For luggage I went the cheap route - Rhinowalk and Lomo. Seems fine (famous last words!) but I can tell it's not as sturdy as my Kriega 🎒 backpack (which doesn't fit me haha). 👍🏍️🎉
Life is hard, you spend your entire life figuring it out and then you die. Our modern life is complicated, I struggle with the same things and sometimes riding my bike even makes it worse. Because I feel guilty for not enjoying it more, its hard to be present when u are feeling down or the mood isnt there. I was planning to do a summer trip this year but returned home after one day, not in the right headspace for it.. good luck with your camping.
I hear ya, Kevin. Somerimes it just doesn't work as well. Well, I've learned that it's ok to have bad days. Try again tomorrow, u know? 👍 Thank you for watching 🙏
At 5:20 your handlebars look off alignment. I just bought a 2024 and I have the same problem. Take it to the dealership to have the triple clamps re- inline. Be happy! Motorcycle is also my space!
Oh wow, I'll have a look at that. It may just be the camera though, it's not always pointing straight forward. And that ultra wide angle can do strange things.
Another great video. You are not alone my friend , any person who is capable of independent thought , is creative and searching for a meaning , will always be riding on the knife edge of sanity in this mad mad world . But it's better than being a sheep and following the flock. Your motorcycle is your release and your passport to happiness . Congratulations. Rural Norway is beatiful and a good place to ride ( killer white vans are everywhere in the world ). We call people who live in rural areas "rednecks" , they have a different view of society and don't want to be part of the mainstream . Haha , rather like motorcyclists . I've worked with a few Norwegians I know what you mean by " polite" dissaproval 😂. I counted one "galore" , or was it "lagore" ? 🤣. You always cheer me up . Ride safe .
@@dungspreader one "Lagore" and one "gore" I think 😂 Good to know I'm not alone out there on the Edge Of Sanity (great phrase!) 🎉🏍️👍 Thank you for a wonderful comment! 🙏😊🎉🏍️
Oh Lord yes, the TET is a goal of mine. Would be great to have travelling companions 👍 I'll do some shorter test trips first, though. I'm brand new to the lifestyle 😁🎒⛺🏍️
Yes, one day at a time works. Snowmobile, I wish I had one 😁 used to ride them as a kid but there's way less snow now and here in the south there's not much use for them.

You know, I've been pondering that question for a while now 🤔⛺🎒🏍️ it does add a bit of comfort and panache 👍
we forget to appreciate what we already have and be grateful for it
Yes, Happiness comes from within 😌
Yes on the bike i feel so good too. I ride as often i can to clear my head. You are not alone my biker friend :)
