Great video yes so many options out there for planning a road trip ! Am planning to come to Norway from Scotland in 2024 so been watching your videos for tips and hints....Thanks for sharing your fantastic “Adventures”...🥃🏴
Haha, thank you sir. This is a really old video, but still it is mainly how I plan my trips. Norway has so much to offer and really glad to hear my videos gives you some great value. Cheers 🥃
Great video. I enjoy the planning stage if a ride almost as much as the ride itself. And I have to say that it has paid off many times. Finding things like abandoned train tunnels and such that I would have rode past if I had not done my research. But having said that as much as I plan I'm always ready to forget it all and follow my nose. It's all about having fun after all.
Fieldsy i can’t agree more! This is exactly what i mean. I do the same! Well put mate! If i have an idé of where i’m going it is much easier to go on adventures to the left and right
Thanks for the tips I’m going to check out my routes now 👍
To plan my trip to Norway 2021
Glad you found it helpful... if you need any pointers on rutes or tracks feel free to ask :-)
Thomas Hansen just loaded the app now getting to learn its fonction 👍
Great video Thomas! Always interesting to see planning styles. Back in time i used MapSource and the Basecamp combined with inspiration from other medias as forums, YT and FB. Last years i have not planned much other that direction and some theme for the trip or destination. Then i plan some in the evenings and morning during the trip. Also improvise during the days. I do the same on RV trips. Got lazy i think 😂😂🤠 Thanks for the tip with mobile mounts. I recently got the Quadlock in my post box. It will do this coming season, i never had a mobile outside the pocket when riding before and dont know if i will need it infront of me either. This weekend there is a great motorcycle show in Gothenburg, will be fun to visit! 👌🏻
I find my self in need of a "bigger" plan. Even if i dont follow the rute or do other trails some of the days, there is something about having a plan so you can stick to when you get homesick or have a bad day. It may be a little OCD to plan so much, but hell... as long as we are out there driving :-P haha. Motorcycle show is always nice. take with you the camera :-) Cheers
Thomas Hansen agree, a plan keeps You focused on the mission and often You get most out of a trip with a good plan on top of that we tend to remember the parts that we did not expect during a trip, the surprises, the wow factors, thing you did not count on. Keep up the good work!
Mattias Eriksson wise Word’s my friend 👏🏻
The SP Connect phone mounting system that KTM sells work really well. Used it for several months now and I’m very pleased. The phone case doesn’t disrupt my wireless charging at home, but the SP adapter that sticks to your existing case does disrupt wireless charging.
Jaron Ard a case? So the phone is sealed from the elements? Water and dust dont get to it? I have destroyed two phones with the shaking from the bike! I dont think the phones are strong enough 🙈
Really enjoying your videos. Can't wait to get out to Norway!
After some advice please. I've started sketching out a 3 week tour, from Rotterdam (ferry from UK), to Denmark, Oresund Bridge and then up the E45, a few little roads in Finland, then Nordkapp. ( I'm staying away from the coast as I can do a Baltic tour in the future). From Nordkapp to Lofoten islands and a few other few other places, (yet to be finalised), then ferry from Bergen to Hirtshalls. Bike is a GS1250.
Specific questions:-
Time of year, thinking of late April to 2nd week of May. Too early? (I'm not bothered about missing one or two things, but hate crowds / traffic)
Dirt roads, want to do a few but obviously just gravel roads with the bike I have. (will do a mixture of camping and cabins). Any suggestions for dirt roads to visit?
What would you suggest to visit on a 7 day run from Nordkapp to Bergen?
Thanks!
Hello mate, and thank you 🤩 i be glad to help you out with some tips. Can you reach out to me on Facebook? So can take a look at it tomorrow 👍🏻 working tonight 😉
I use(d) Rever since I got my ADV bike.
One thing I loved about it was that it tracked my rides, and my kilometers.
It's free, and the planning tool is great too. The map looks nice on the display.
Design the route on the desktop, just open it on the mobile and follow. Liked the "follow path" function instead of turn by turn navigation.
But now I'm going to use a Garmin Montana for navigating on- and offroad, Rever just for tracking.
I think it is almost identical to MyRoute-app. Sounds like you are using rever the same way i use MyRoute-app 👍🏻 use the mobile app to track my trips and much the same as you 👏🏻🔥
@@tshansen what is the rent of motorcycle in norway
@@bcdedef7328 There is not alot of people renting out motorcycles in Norway, but you may find some good info on this site with link to pages. ridenorway.com/renting-a-bike-in-norway/
Well I guess I've been living in the dark ages. I still use a map, look for a twisty route, preferably near lots of contour lines, throw in a river and hey-presto! Anyway thanks I will definitely check out some of those methods.
A paper map is still a great option. I use it alot when i'm hiking. But the ease of computer maps, the use of satallite footage and you have the whole world in your pocket. Its, much less expensive than paper maps, and dont take up so much space :-P Glad you found it informativ :-) Cheers
Great vid as always im planning a trip 2 Norway next June do u have a link for the phone holder and cover you use i was thinking of a quad lock but you have got me looking again .thanks
www.thansen.no/sykkel/utstyr-tilbehor/mobilholder/iphone-xs-max-11pro-max-deksel-m-feste/n14533/pn1135849/ you can find it here, but I'm not sure where you are located and how easy it is to get hold of in your country. But take a look, maybe it is a common brand on amazon or other stores. Cheers
@@tshansen thank you I will have a look
Thanks a lot Thomas! I‘m using Calimoto and the „NitW- app“ - Nose in the Wind. It isn’t accurate but brings a lot of surprises 😂
The thing with Calimoto is, that it can really mislead you with confusing routes. I saw alot of places that I actually didn’t wanna see…😜
I have tried some apps after I made this video, maybe time to do an updated version of it? And most app that I have tried is just not good enough or focus on the wrong things.
@@tshansen Calimoto got a big update since the date you made your review. It's quite good, but I recommend to double check the suggested trips. Sometimes I endet up in tiniest little roads in the french alpes and made also detours with no sence, only because I set the "curvy" routes for planning. But if you understood that once, its very helfpful for planning trips, or using it for the navigation. For the moment I'm having my learning issues with base camp... I'm new to it and its not so ease of use... it takes time and a lot of Te-Knert 😂 (maybe its hard to use it because that Te-Knert...I don't know 😇)
I’m a big fan of basecamp too. I’ve found it is much more responsive is you significantly reduce you monitor resolution.
the new update that came last (some time back now) made it really fast if you switch between 2D and 3D view :-)
You have an absolutely almost perfect bike for long distance traveling. I have traveled a lot around the world. Also went to the Middle East and sometimes my bike was to heavy. I could control it but it would not have cost me so much energy from time to time when going of the tarmac.
What about driving in Norway closer to the Swedish border ? Is it not as nice as riding near the sea ?
At the border of Norway/Sweden there is nothing to see... just forrest or farmers land. but all the great gravel roads are there. If you want scenic tours and rutes with mountains, fjords, waterfalls and twisty roads. West coast is the way to go 👍🏻
I use Google Earth and Basecamp. I should check out that app. I also don't like phones for navigation. Thanks for the info.
azdesertdog you are welcome, i think phones or phonlike things are gonna take over if the GPS Units dont get better soon! The speed and app’s are way better and faster to use
hey, great video! what is the danish brand of the waterproof case? thank you!!
I dont know the Brand. It is no label on it! 😫
@@tshansen miraculously, I´ve found it, thansen.dk
Aaahh, you wounder where i got it! Was trying to find out what exact Brand it was 😂👏🏻🔥 glad you found it. Cheers
Nice input! May I ask, do you use the paid or the free version of My Route?, Thx :)
Hello Trond, i use the paid version of MyRoute-app 👍🏻
Again a very good video...could you please give the reference of your GPS ..under the rain...it is worth it ?
Now I'm using a GPS called Garmin Zumo XT... it is absolutely amazing. I Have an own video about just that topic. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen thanks...I look for the video
Hej Thomas..interessant video.. Hvad er det du siger at det kort du bruger ved 2:10 ? Finnkart ??
Jeg kører selv en del i Norge og Sverige,og er især vild med Hedmark !!
selv bruger jeg også GOOGLE EARTH og TOURSTART:org også et rigtigt godt kort og ruteplanlægning
hvor man også kan planlægge og overføre ruter til sin GPS..
God sommer til dig... når den kommer :-)
Yes, it's kart.finn.no and use their "flyfoto" their picture quality is really good in Norway. I have not heard about Tourstart, will take a closer look at it. thank you for the tip :-) God sommer til deg også, om en stund :-D haha
Have you treid SP connect stuffs? Realy goog🤘
Hello Christopher… No i have not tried them my self, but i have seen some on a stand and it looks quite good. I see that QuadLock have done some upgrades to theirs as well. I’m still using a GPS unit and are happy with that for my usage. 🤩
In Basecamp, try switching the map mode to 3D (View -> View 3D Map Only) it'll use the graphics card, and should make it about 9000% faster. Plus you get to use DEM maps in all their glory
Hmmm... when i enable only 3D map it goes down in my left side corner and are only ¼ of the size?
Thomas Hansen ah, then you’ve got the fun bug that was introduced in 4.8.7. Hopefully they’ll fix that soon. It’s fast though eh! Even if totally unusable with that bug.
I dont have my finger crossed! I was told that they wont update the basecamp software anymore?
Thomas Hansen I just got this from their : ‘we have had a couple of other reports of the issue and are currently investigating it’. That release was recent, so I think they’re still actively developing (or at least big fixing).
@@wil.linssen Great info mate :-) I did not expect this :-) It is crazy that a "simple" program like Basecamp is this slow on a new mac :-P I can edit 4K footage like a dream, but pan a map in Basecamp you say? :-P haha
Hvordan finner man grusveier som er lovlige å kjøre, og lage en rute med disse? Tips?
Vel, man må nesten ut å sjekke de grusveiene man finner, om man ikke kjenner noen som har ruter og kjenner veiene du har lyst å kjøre. Problemet i Norge er at mange veier som i fjor var lovlig å kjøre er nå blitt låst med bom. Så man har ingen garanti, selv om mye grusveier på østlandet er åpen for fri ferdsel (noen ganger bompenger)
Førde, sweet! Why a rug under the coffe machine? :-P
Haha, well, i'm not sure how i'm gonna answer that. you see, we need to find the "big book" and go to chapter 546.... why does women do shit like that on the kitchen :-P I have no control of that space. So i dont ask :-D
Douwe Egbers machine. One of the best👍🏻👍🏻😄
Excellent videos of a lot of help, it would be possible for your videos to have the translation option (Spanish) through subtitles, thanks for sharing greetings from Mexico
There is automatic translation built into TH-cam. Press C on the keyboard, or check the text box in the video frame. Then go over to the cog wheel (icon next to text) and press texting sometimes it stands on automatic translate to English. Press this and then choose the 3 option, translate automatic, and then you will get a box of all the languages in the world. Choose which one you prefer.
Calimoto (app & website) is brilliant for spontaneous on road routes
I have tried it a couple of times without getting the hang of it....
Basecamp makes my head spin. I have the Garmin Zumo XT, but the whole process is just so complicated compared to using Google Maps.
Well, i remember starting out with BaseCamp my self, it was a real pain to understand, because it is kinda backwards to what we are used to with our smartphones and new apps today. But the strength in basecamp is the way you can use route and tracks. Combine this, structure and categories it in a huge library no other planer can. I would highly recommend using it to store routes and tracks, if you use other programs to make the route, you can easy keep it for storage in basecamp. Cheers
@@tshansen hmm maybe I need to have another go at it. Do you usually use a different app to make the route, and basecamp mostly for storage?
@@Ahduciekwndnbbbsvvvghhhyyyyy I use google maps a lot, and a route planner called Myroute-App, and I sort everything as a final step in Basecamp. So there is many tools to do the job, but no one does it as good as basecamp when you know how to use it.
Do you know Scenic? Great vid 👍
Yeah, i heard about it and testet it a little. Do you like that better?
Thomas Hansen haven’t tried others so I can’t compare. I agree with you about rever. I took Quadlock for 12 days to Marrocco and worked great but it was mostly tarmac. It worked great to take in and out from mount while riding to takes selfies 😂 and never had gaps.
@@joaopnmarques Yeah, after i post a video about it...quadlock reach out to me, offered me a new piece because it was a faulty product. But still, not happy... gave it away to a guy in sweden :) I bet a smoother trip and motorcycle will be better to mount a quadlock. But it is still a problem when it rains :-P
Thomas Hansen good service by QL though! You new mount looked nice. I tiped one of my coworkers on your video, he just talked about a mount today with that kind of features since his mobile is not water proof. 👍🏻
Hi Thomas, I'm planning my rides mostly by hand, using a combination of Basecamp + OSM maps and Google maps / street view. In Germany, we've had a fantastic website named Motoplaner.de but it's been put offline by the developer due to some Google related copyright rules that have changed. A pity, it was sleek, powerful and free 😔
Basecamp feels ancient but works well if you get used to it.
Yeah, i have tried that Motoplaner... i really liked it, but as you say... the license thing google maps have made alot of sites useless. It can be real hard to learn Basecamp if you are used to the Ipad/apple way of things. Cheers
motoplaner.de reroutes to kurviger.de
Which is AWESOME, and free.
@@DanielMores that's right. I tried it few times but somehow didn't like the results I was getting. When planning a trip I'm usually trying to pick the smallest and narrowest roads that are available in given area. With motoplaner it worked fine (for me), with kurviger.de it wasn't... 🤔
@@dawidd4817 interesting, the routes where I let kurviger.de call the shots and used "maximum curves :-D" I was really routed through the smallest of back-alleys and taken off the (also small) main routes at any chance, even if it resulted in more kilometers.
Guess it depends on the area and the settings.
I like the way you can edit the routes, send it to friends who adjust things and send it back .... finally it ends as a GPX file in your preferred GPS app.
BTW I'm talking about the desktop web planning tool, not the phone app.
Thanks,
The opening and the "video style" remind me Casey neistat videos
Well it is hard not to be inspired by Casey, so you will find alot of his technique in storytelling in some of my videos 😇
Lyden på mikrofonen din er alt for lav
Den ligger å peaker på -10dB som er anbefalt! Men takk for tilbakemelding, skal se nærmere på det i neste film... da jeg fortsatter jobber med å optimalisere lyden 👍🏻
where have all the motorcyclists who bought a ticket, tinkered with their moped and loaded it to ride their trips. This whole squealing with route planner and navigation is absolutely stupid stuff and only blunts ab.es does not mean " the way is the destination " and to put the internet as a film is the crowning glory of the nonsense. but only bikers . no meter without Pc, mobile phone and camera
Kalle Knatterten well, this is a interesting view and solid point. I find joy in planing, build up expectations and have a bigger picture of it. But i also find myself just riding my bike, no plan, no ide just to clear my head! I dont think it’s stupid, i think it’s much better to find the hidden gem’s when you plan!
@James Ferguson i can agree in some aspects of it, but i do think you can over plan stuff! Sometimes you just need to live in the moment and enjoy what ever life trows at you.
