Such a grand view of the lake at the end, the dronage footageness is wonderful!! Great banter with Ian, Bless his sox - and his boots! Thanks AMC for another drooling dribble across the winding landscape. Looking forward to the next!! Graeme, NZ

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure Graeme. Thanks so much again!

[@arjentdm]

Proper AMC footage! Makes my day..

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers mate! Glad to hear it! More still to come!

[@ticthedog6095]

👍 Many thanks for another quality production.

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure and thanks for watching another one!

[@phantomrider22]

Hell ya! I'm envious of that riding footage. 😂

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers mate! It was some very enjoyable riding!

[@TheZoloster]

This series is getting better by each episode. I can't wait for the next one. Great job!

[@AndyManCam]

Glad to hear it!

[@eddiethirst9320]

Best one yet Andy. If I didn’t want to visit Norway before, after seeing this video, I do now 👍

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Eddie! Norway just sells itself and definitely lived up to the hype!!

[@atcecosse]

Another brilliant video from not only the scenery but the well edited multi camera work, the banter and mature and very witty comments, makes a dreary day very enjoyable...thankyou..

[@AndyManCam]

Many thanks! Very kind of you to say so and entirely my pleasure!

[@UncleBobsbikelife]

Enjoying this series, high quality entertainment👍🏻

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much Uncle Bob, very pleased to hear it!

[@LuisSantos-dk1ox]

Another great one, they all fell unique with different stories behind each day.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Luis. That's very good to hear!

[@garthmctavish7335]

Looks beautiful 😎👍

[@AndyManCam]

It really was beautiful! Seemed like it would never end!

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

another cracking episode with top notch filming. Thankyou!

[@AndyManCam]

That’s very much for watching!

[@Bitwobbley]

Epicness once more. Brilliant.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much BW!

[@bfc_clarky]

Very enjoyable, some nice comments regarding Norway is fjords & many ferries, lovely views, decent roads, dodgy weather.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much indeed Clarky. Cheers for watching!

[@bfc_clarky]

Really enjoy your videos. Superbly edited, Apr choices of music & dry wit, regardless of the circumstances. Have just ridden San Bernardino & Splugenpasses, videos were good, didn't show just how tight some of the hairpins on Splugenpass are. A difficult pass.

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks again! Yeah Splugen is a workout! I think they were resurfacing a large section of the hairpins when i was there. Maybe they made them tighter! 😜

[@beetleything1864]

This is making me feel better here in Scotland - Norway gets more rain !!!

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Based on my short experience, I'd say that they're about even!! 😜

[@beetleything1864]

@@AndyManCam you where unlucky 🤥🙈🤣

[@AndyManCam]

So I hear! Although TBH we did well with it. Satellite maps for the win!

Cheers mate! Luckily the GPX is already in the descripto! 🤩

Fantastic as always

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@adamnunn9723]

What a beautiful country… momentous footage sir! 😲👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Adam! Totally agree mate, certainly the most beautiful country I've been to so far!

[@matmoore74]

Brilliant footage as per 👏 👏👏

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you most kindly Mat.

[@KimmoJaskari]

Norway is pretty nuts to ride. Especially when you get to actual Fjord country. Rain gear is a must, though, it rains quite a lot. But some of the finest riding in the world.

[@AndyManCam]

Totally nuts and seemingly without end! 100% agree on the rain gear front! Good gear can make or break a trip like this!

[@blueyondermoto]

I do like your travel vids Andy and Ian is such a great travel buddy. Did anyone else notice the scary face of the lake reflection from the drone shot at 21:19?

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks!! Yeah Ian was a solid adventuring companion. Though he's still bitter that I went back there without him! The face was a bit eery!

[@steveball2307]

Talk about land of mountains and fjords Andy.... Magnificent scenery, fabulous roads, mildly amusing cometary....why am I not there!

[@AndyManCam]

I couldn't agree more! You have to see it with your own eyes to TRULY get it!

[@smokeybarr]

Oof! Those ending drone shots!

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Smokey! That Air 2S certainly knocked the shots from the Spark into a cocked hat!

[@davehoughton1080]

Most entertaining bikey narrator on yt 👏

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you most heartily Dave 🙏🏻

[@andyparr19]

More top notch footage, bloody love it!

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks again Andy. Easy to get great shots up there. Just throw a camera in any direction and it looks amazing!!

[@jimsadler8704]

Terrific vid as usual, Andy, and some welcome UV's for a change. Shame about the decomposing boot but in all fairness it's amazing you managed to avoid a touch of the trench foot.

[@AndyManCam]

Alwys nice to get some UV's in! To be fair, those boots have taken in a fair few miles! It was bound to happen at some point! If anything, they did well considering their price point! Keep your eyes peeled, there's still time for footrot!

[@johnsteel4719]

More buggering about in the fjords. Lovely…

[@AndyManCam]

There's always time for buggering about in the Fjords!

[@73n5]

Man - thank you for saving a completely fckd up day with this diamond of a road movie! Your comment about Ian listening to Miley Cyrus is nothing less than legend. I am still laughing about that one … and will be for days :-)

[@AndyManCam]

My pleasure Jens! Happy to help wherever i can! I’m sure that goes for Ian’s music tastes too! 🤣

[@mattdrat3087]

Very nicely filmed and edited!

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks very much indeed Matt!

[@darrylcoomer1539]

I think I can now officially say that Norway is not on the bucket list!! Fire up the Quattro!!

[@AndyManCam]

Quattro Ho!!!

[@danielbengtsson8122]

Good one 👍🏽

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Daniel!

[@ryoder]

All these fjords, but I've not seen a single Norwegian Blue. I was expecting flocks of them.

[@AndyManCam]

Not even a memorial in sight. Very strange...

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

It's gonna take something special to beat this Norwegian series. Well done lads. What a nice cabin with views to chill after a long ride!

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Stephen! Yeah, maybe I’ve made a rod for my own back with this one!! The view packed cabin chilling game was VERY strong! 🥰

[@ptsvein]

Beautiful video from my homecountry. Maybe next time you are her you could do a meet up? Or a ride a long?

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks so much! Such a beautiful country. I don’t know when I’ll be back, but it won’t be a moment too soon!

[@eddiemizen3703]

Never stops raining 🌧 😒 😊

[@AndyManCam]

That's not fair. It stopped for at least 30 minutes every day!! 🤪

[@stevesteve1965]

Some of those roads looked like riding on polished glass.! 😮 But what a place to ride. ❤

[@AndyManCam]

They were grippier than they looked... honest!! 😅

[@UncleLongbeard]

East Anglia is the right place for that gent indeed ;)

[@AndyManCam]

Absolutely! The only place more boring than there is where I'm living now! But at least the beer is slightly cheaper!! 😆

[@UncleLongbeard]

@@AndyManCam you can also try central Poland where I lived ;)

[@AndyManCam]

Oh dear. I drove through there once. I remember a bleak greyness interrupted only by the leopard skirts of the hookers on the roadside.

[@TheTor_Detours]

I am amazed by how well you picked your route!! Even many local riders haven’t ridden some of the gems you covered. Did you just pick the narrowest and curvy roads you could find on the map, or did you get some hints in advance? 🇳🇴🏍️👍🏻🥳

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks! That’s really satisfying to hear! I literally studied the maps and picked routes that i thought looked the most interesting! With a little bit of satellite imagery for good measure 👍🏻

[@mikejgriffiths]

Nice one Andy. I haven't seen any Fjords yet so I'm looking forward to seeing them all in one go.

[@AndyManCam]

Cheers Mike. They are definitely worth seeing in real life mate. Quick before there are more camper vans than roads!

[@F4celessArt]

in Norway, the roads are both wet and dry until observed.

[@AndyManCam]

And sometimes even when they are observed too!

[@scottyuk]

Stunning locations. 👍 You mentioned it was the end of the touring season. When was it?

[@AndyManCam]

Where stunning locations per square meter are concerned, i think Norway has to be at least in the top 3! We were there last 2 weeks of August mate. So this video was right near the end of the month. Apparently the weather is usually worse around then! 😄

[@nigelbarratt9807]

🤩🤩🤩

[@AndyManCam]

😎👍🏻

[@mattmutane5502]

Fantastic and epic video, once again Andy! :) What boot was it that didn't hold up to the wet?

[@AndyManCam]

Thanks Matt! It was the Büse Toursport Pro. To be fair they had big shoes to fill. I was comparing them to the Daytonas before them, which isn’t at all fair as they’re in entirely different price brackets!

[@mattmutane5502]

@@AndyManCamFair enough, but shame they started leaking, I don't think they had had that much use? They are the ones you got towards the end of 2020 and went in the sea in your "Winter Wanderings"? How much did they retail for? As you say, if you're paying Daytona/GoreTex prices, then you'd deffo expect more (but then in theory, Gore would be replacing a Daytona that leaked, if Daytona already didn't...)

[@he.r.o.75]

Is there any possibility to get you're compleet Norway tour as a gpx file. I like to go next year. And You're route looks great.

[@AndyManCam]

Absolutely! Check in the description and there's a link to the GPX file for this episode. All of the rest so far are then also in the same place. Always check the description for goodies and links!!

[@eddiemizen3703]

U ceen one haggis u ceen them all , hopefully u r well no Moore incidents 😊

[@AndyManCam]

Haha! Haggis's I can understand! Plenty of incidents sadly, I'll be updating you all very soon!

[@2rRas]

@AndyManCam Hello. What are the brand and model of your bar end mirrors? They look sturdy and neat.

[@Greggspies]

How long did you go for and what was the cost, if you don't mind sharing, just the Norway bit

[@AndyManCam]

We were there for 2 weeks Gregg. I'll be putting together a cost video at the end. Give a good run down of everything we spent 👍🏻

[@kooshaspels8401]

Hoi Andy,4jaar geleden heb jij de passen gereden in zwitserland.....de muziek die jij daar bij gemonteerd heb is echt perfect! Zou ik deze muziek mogen gebruiken voor mijn video van de klausenpass?

Thanks! I'm afraid you'll have to take that up with Epidemic Sound! That's where I get all of my music.

Gobsmacking. What month and dates did you go? Did u sell the KTM? What happened to that? Dying To know

[@AndyManCam]

We were there last 2 weeks of August Dave. This was actually before the KTM. Although that’s also now gone too 🤦🏻‍♂️ My latest video explains the whole sorry affair!

[@DaveDayve]

@@AndyManCam yes watched it this morning. Gutting. What a charade by the insurance. I'd say you've got another 1096 as you've left the bags n stuff. If I got that right. . Hope yr channel gets going pro mode. You're the best youtuber on my list. Will help u with it. 🏆🏆💪

[@AndyManCam]

Thank you Dave! TBH I was angling to keep just the Panniers, but the buyer just lumped them all in together. So i kept the racks so that i could a) have the chance to use them if I decided to get another 1090 or b) sell them to claw back some more of the lost settlement.

[@DaveDayve]

@@AndyManCam Done 😜 I hope many do like wise

Do you pay for those ferries?

Supposedly you get the bill through the post. I’m still waiting.
