Norway is amazingly beautiful country, but very rainy.
Absolutely Awesome realy can't wait to get over to Norway with my dad :)
Your VLOGs and vlog style is perfect, right in my wheel house
Love the honesty and casual nature....
Great vid and edit. Loved the music! 🍺
Nice drone work mate
Best drone footage ever at the end of the video. Fantastic...
The drone footage of the bridge was amazing!!!
Thank you William for another video and super drone footage. Take care my Friend and catch you next time.
YES! Two of my fave people in one place! Too much awesome!
Seen lots of your videos and believe me I think you take your skill of video taking, editing and choosing the audio very lightly and I think the creators on youtube who seems close to you is Peter McKinnon. But I think you are better and I am not joking. The day when you start to focus more on the video side they will be exceptional right now you seem to just document your rides. You seem a deep person. I like your style of riding alone most of the time because I find myself very similar to you in this regard. Awesome video love from India brother. Sorry for my bad English if you find the sentences confusing.
Hay Ya.....Another great video. Loved the music and the dorne footage of the Atlantic Road! WooHoo!
Great vlog, 👏👏👏
Fantastic video. Thanks!!
Excellent video William... music, mixing, scenery, continuity was a little strange, but overall excellent.
Amazing drone work at the end!
You could use a neutral density filter for your drone, it will allow you to keep your aperture open longer and help with the water
Huge miss of the ATAS. The suspension alone is worth the upgrade not to mention all the rest of the improvements
great footage.
That 2018 Africa Twin is tempting :)
Brilliant vid William. Loving the vlogs
This is so on my bucket list going to Norway 🇳🇴 . Ride safe and your arrow is pointing the wrong way now since you left the UK
Beautiful !!!
Loved it!
i like alex, wish i can find a riding buddy like that around these parts. hard to find chemistry with people
Great vlog Billy like the pace never boring, Norway does look good but eye watering prices put me off
Come by Stockholm Sweden! :) Hope your enjoying your journey so far.
Great vid , I just wish you would have mentioned Timburkephotos more :)
Always an interesting video. If you swing through Switzerland some time I'd love to go for a ride with you.
Outstanding... :)
Enjoy your travels William!
Best from the two fluorescent Dutch bikers you briefly shared a cup of (Swedish) coffee with @Eidfjord, Norway
Great vlog … btw thats another Heidenau than the one with tyres near Dresden 🤙
Great vid.
You were close to my hometown, near Heidenau, sorry missed you
Trrriiiiiuuuummpphhh....it doesn't have a duck hair. 😹
Oh, yeah! I’m going with you! 👍👌😳
Man. I love your videos. Editing, drone footage. But in the last video Scotland is part of England? And now Belgium has ocean access? Ugh. Love your videos, love Hondas, I'll keep watching but man do you have to be so American? :D
Actually that road did look pretty cool...
I rode up to nordkapp from london 2 years ago..went up via Denmark to Oslo though..got lucky with the weather though. I bought a bottle of vodka in Germany though...everything is so expensive that it hurts
Cool 👍🏼👌🏼
Welcome to Norway. You must try out “riksveg17” costal road south of Bodø.
WOW 😍
Damn. You basically drove right by my house up through Denmark. I'd have served you a proper Whisky 🥃 😂🇩🇰😎
Excellent drone footage William! Do you ever run into issues with flying it in certain places?
William, like your videos a lot! I have an Africa Twin myself (2016, DCT) and if you come to Stockholm I can show you some highlights in Stockholm and in the surroundings. Do you plan to go here? / Håkan
The Atlantic Road is extremly overrated :-) If you ever go to Norway again, hit me up and all give you som pointers on were to go :-)
Do you run tubeless tyres with tubes?
How many miles you got on the Mitas so far? How are they holding up? I got the E07 Dakar + as well!
Did You order your bike, to be delevired with the 12-volt socket ? If not, what effort in cost, time, problems, etc, did it take, to have it installed anyway ?
By the way, did You like the mossel/friet in Bruges ?
Did u make it for the Mussel Festival?
Like the humor and overall video. Quick question: What is the helmet you’re sporting? Thanks and keep safe.
Erik Ahrens it’s a Klim Krios Carbon.
Hi William . Do you comming in Swissland? Thanks
$8 a gallon gas Norway hates cars and gas I guess.
I noticed a new seat, which one did you buy? And is it an improvement?
Seat Concepts. I will do a review shortly.
Extreme expensive fuel..but hey...we are going to save the planet...
Hi William... is alpes in your route plan ?
Hi! A norwegian here.. why the title "VLOG 48 AFRICA TWIN TO NORWAY..... NO WAY!?"
Rune Holthen take the R out of Norway and it’s no way! Don’t read to much into it. Titles aren’t my thing. Portuguese/American here...
Its just a play on words, trying to be punny...
Another nice vloege! Seriously doubt someone would steal a small bag with inner tubes unless they were some kind of compulsive kleptomaniac. That's the sort of thing I zip tie to the underside of my rack anyway. Happy travels!
Lol! I ride a scooter once..
I was at the dealership to Purchase a new 2018 Africa Twin Adventure sport here in AZ, but no one had the DCT model in stock ( I really wanted to try it) and I ended up finding a 2017 KTM 1290 SuSuper Adventure R and was able to get it with 2300 miles (Why the previous owner wouldn't ride it is beyond me) and for the same price out the door TTL with some negotiation of course for the Africa Twin Price.... So Mr. Gloege my question to you is if price wasnt factored in would you take an new Africa Twin Adventure DCT, KTM 1290 Super Adventure R, or a 1200 GS??
Yes... and you ask why... because its a Honda. 90,000 km and no breakage that I didnt cause.. Fork Seals only oil changes and wear items (chain,sproket etc)
Regarding Heidenau I had problem with model K60 Scout - front tyre bouncing between 45-60km/h. The rear one had tendence to sneaking when turned left.
The problem just disappeared when I installed my old tire set again. So I sent it back to my seller. Anyone else had that surprise with that model?
Performance of the tyres was positive indeed, on and off the road. Claim procedure is running so I hopefuly expect to have a new set. Thanks Yogi.
Yogi, my last question is how your front tyre behaves between 45-60/h when you drive a non loaded bike. S.Tenere is a quite heavy machine. It can nivelate small tyre imperfection, but I guess from your general experiences all is fine. Thanks for istructions of proper tyre mounting. If I am not in the moddle of nowhere I ask Honda to have it done right way :)
Without the weight and aerodynamic drag of the panniers & dry bag, the bike of course is more nimble. At the 45--60km/h speed that you inquire about, the tires are smooth running, the bike goes where directed without any rebellion of unruly drift or handlebar shake. As far as motorcycle shops go, many years ago (1970's) I purchased a brand new enduro bike. On the way home the front tire was drifting here and there. When I got there, I checked the front wheel only to find the front axel nut & axel very loose and about to come off. Back then, when they shipped that model from the factory, the front wheel was detached from the forks inside the shipping crate. The individual that put this front wheel on didn't do his job and it could have been catastrophic. The point being for me as a matter of policy, since that time, I never let anyone ever work on any of my bikes that I have owned, (I manually change and balance my own tires for example. Its good practice and knowledge, because I know it is done right. Arrogantly so!). It would take some major technical issue that I cannot resolve to allow any shop to do so. The old saying "Trust but Verify", checking the work done closely comes into play here. One's life is sometimes at stake because of others laziness or pure stupidity. You always have to watch your back... Good luck!
Good point. For safety reason will ask them to check the front axle nut also. Ok Yogi, all is clear. Thanks a lot for sharing your huge experiences. Take care.
"A lot of dutch sounding people around" That's because you're in Flanders, we actually speak Dutch.
im new in your channel, great videos, and speacking, and amazing views and norway have beautiful mountains views, you should come to Merida, Venezuela problably you would like it here heheh, and the gas is cheaper, almost everything if you bring american currency, cheer mi pana, saludos ¡¡¡
Sounds like he doesn’t want the Africa twin adventure sports because he’s the one that doesn’t fit onto the bike not the other way around. And as you said he’s likely cheap.
I didn’t want one either, as soon as I sat on it, I noticed the tank was HUGE and I didn’t like it at all! And I didn’t want the electronic throttle. I can bring spare fuel! William here has been around the world on a regular AT and only used spare fuel once and it wasn’t even necessary!
