Thats my morning cafe love that place great review of the city guys

[@SeanandEmily]

Oh really!! Wow that’s a great place to have as your local 😊. We really loved this city and hope it’s not too long before we can visit again 👍🏻

[@antonoat]

Well I’ve ever been to Trondheim so thanks a bunch for the tour, it looks typically nordic, clean, friendly and colourful! 👏👍😀

[@SeanandEmily]

That pretty much sums it up =) You're very welcome, we are glad you enjoyed this little city tour -time to get back on the bike and head to Sweden =) Cheers Sean and Emily

[@reedtrullz]

Thanks for this great showcase of my city :)!

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, you’re very welcome. You live in a truly beautiful city! We would have loved to have spent more time there -hope to be back again someday 😊 Thanks for commenting. Sean and Emily

[@mattdrat3087]

Thanks for taking us along on your trip! Though I have lived in Norway for several decades, I haven't seen much of it. As I now have a motorcycle license and will soon be a retiree, I intend to ride and see this country. Looking forward to the next installment!

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, many thanks and we are glad to take you along for the ride! That's cool that you live in Norway! To be retired with a motorcycle in Norway would be perfect! Having all that time to explore the country is indeed something to look forwards to. I hope the rest if this series gives you some places to explore ....i feel like we will need to keep coming back here again. Next episode will be out on Wednesday =) Kind regards Sean and Emily

[@vickyyee1374]

So nice to see the beauty of other countries.. thanks for sharing your trip... Specially this video about Trondheim ..love to see the beauty of this city❤

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Vicky, Thanks for your lovely comment and for watching our travels. We are so happy to share the places we visit with the community. If you particularly interested in exploring cities we have a playlist of the city tours we have done that you might find interesting; kzbin.info/aero/PLl_mRzVHVQ0zorbSAnIu5ZGL4HATWiFYB Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the channel. Sean and Emily

[@hallvard74]

Thanks. You made a very nice vido about Trondheim even though you were there only a short time. I would say you really need at least a couple of days to fully explore Trondheim. There are several very nice museums to visit such as the Ringve music museum. For people living in this region of Norway Trondheim is not a small town, but a major metropolis, compared to the other towns in the region. I think there are about 250 000 people living in the city area so not a super small town.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Hallvard, thanks very much for your comment and we are really glad you liked it. Yeah as this was a short stop on our 10,000 km road trip it would have ben nice to have some more time but we are happy we glad we got to see what we did. Yeah you are right, we liked it as although it's big population it still had an authentic town feel for what is a big town/city. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the Heading North Playlist =) Sean and Emily

[@johnterry804]

Nice video great little town very picturesque 👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks, Yeah lots of nice little places like this dotted around Norway =)

[@stephenpotts8170]

Hi both really enjoying your tour, in the last couple of days I have watched all of this tours videos so far, your format works very well. And having the exact same bike as you I must say you have handled some challenging roads, and difficult conditions very well. One of the major stand outs for me is how clean and litter free Norway is. I'm thinking of doing a Scandinavian tour next year, all being well, and being retired we have no time restrictions upon us. Looking forward to the next legs of your tour. Thank you.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Stephen, thanks very much for commenting and encouraging words. We are really glad you have enjoyed the playlist so far. Thanks, yeah there are some tricky sections of road that's made trickier with the wet weather and occasional heavy traffic but so far nothing the GS cant handle. Yes the cleanliness of Norway struck us too! -the mentality of the people is shown by the respect they have for their country -it's such a pleasure to journey through the country. Congratulations on your retirement -having no time restrictions to travel would be fantastic. -if you are thinking of touring other parts of Europe be sure to check out our other tours of Eastern Europe, Switzerland, Spain etc etc. Looking forwards to hearing form you again and thanks for your comment!

Again: I'm thoroughly enjoying this trip you've been to!! First: From the area where I live now: Outside Kristiansand, then some places I have on my bucket list ( Geiranger, Trollstigen, Atlanterhavsveien ) and now: My home town Trondheim! Wonderful tour of the city in my heart! Thank you. Can't wait for the next episode! Safe travels!! Erik

Hi Erik, thanks for your comment! I hope we did your home city justice -we really liked it and think it would be a lovely place to live!

Thanks! Some locations just fill you with enthusiasm and so far everywhere in Norway is inspiring =) What a great place you live! When we were in Trondheim we said to ourselves that this is a place we could easily see ourselves living! Thanks very much for your comment and we look forwards to hearing from you again sometime.

[@JohnFloan-yg2wt]

You missed the best places in Trondheim as bakklandet, store houses at the river Nidelven and the old town bridge.

[@SeanandEmily]

What would you like us to do about that now?

[@padler]

If everyone was as polite as Sean and Emily, we would live in a very different world.. What does courtesy cost a person? I has always been free and appropriate.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks! Very kind of you 😊

[@jandmath]

Nice video! However, as a Norwegian from Vestfold, I want to challenge the claim of Trondheim being the Viking capital of Norway 😎

[@tuttasb]

Tønsberg is the oldest city but never a capital like Trondheim/Nidaros: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_capitals_of_Norway

[@jandmath]

@@tuttasbI actually did not know this, I stand corrected!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it =)

[@larserikertzgaardringen7426]

To bad you missed Bakklandet!

[@SeanandEmily]

We’ve probably seen more of Norway than the average Norwegian, but yeah such a shame we missed that one street.

[@Anndi84]

Funny that you call it «a nice little town» , while to Norwegians it’s the 3rd biggest city in the country with about 200.000 people (including) the Uni-students:)

[@SeanandEmily]

I guess it's all relative, coming from the UK where big cities to us have millions. But Trondheim city center had a lovely 'little town' feel to it.

[@Anndi84]

@@SeanandEmily next time you’re in Norway you should check out Røros, 160 km south east of Trondheim. Now THAT’s a small town😆

[@SeanandEmily]

looks fantastically small!! 😄, so many reasons to go back to Norway 😊

Just a few weeks ago (September)

Nidaros Cathedral i build on the grave site of norways king Olav den hellige or Olav the Holy

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, oh that's interesting! Hopefully next time we visit we will be able to spend more time in Trondheim -a really nice city. Thanks Sean and Emily

[@arildtronstadhagen4337]

Trondheim is the 3rd largest city in Norway

[@steinarhaugen7617]

Not any more. Stavanger has become Norway's third largest city.

[@SeanandEmily]

We really enjoyed our visit to Trondheim =)

[@TroenderTass]

@@steinarhaugen7617 No, it has not. That is just playing with numbers. A city is an administrative center, and the administrative center of trondheim has a much larger poulation than stavanger. Also, clearly stavanger is lacking in infrastrucutre as well, having no former or newer tram system, or e-bus system like Trondheim. In stavanger, you will mostly find small wooden buildings, in Trondheim you will find both small wooden buildings and a greater amount of art nouveau buildings and even some victorain style inspired buildings. Trondheim is not only the biggest of the two, but if you compare historical significanse there is not even a comparison. There is a reason why large news papers like dagbladet has their own section for Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim and not Stavanger.

[@zarolikse2372]

@@steinarhaugen7617having lived in both Stavanger and Trondheim, I can tell you that Stavanger is by far a smaller city than Trondheim. Trondheim is much more comparable to Bergen.

[@steinarhaugen7617]

@@zarolikse2372 Okay. I believe you. I have not been to Stavanger, only Trondheim.

Hey Brian, think I mentioned it already but on Wednesday the episode where we ride to Sweden will be out -we will be wild camping in the middle of a forest =) Cheers Sean and Emily

[@brianeaston3748]

@@SeanandEmily hi Sean and Emily, hope you get some nice weather to camp out, we're having terrible rain and flooding in Scotland! How many miles do you get on a set of tyres on the GSA? And what are the best tyres for the bike? I'll be doing mainly road rides on my bike,I like the tyres that are on my bike but when the time comes to change them, it's good to try out something different, Have a great time, enjoying the footage of your adventures👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, Yeah we saw that on the news -the water running down the train tracks! We hope it improves soon! The weather got good as we headed further north =). We had Michelin Ananke adventures on and we got about 7000miles out of them they offered great grip and where actually not bad in gravel. The Metzler Tourance Next 2's did about 6000 miles however on that last trip we didn't use the sides so much, so i would say they did really well -offered good grip in the wet. I've put the metzlers on again but to honest i would be happy with either tire. If you only intend on road riding them maybe a dedicated road tire would be a good option. Cheers Sean and Emily

[@brianeaston3748]

Hi,yeah it's been pretty wet,this week is to be better so I'll get out on the bike,that's great mileage from the tyres, I was lucky to get 4000 miles out of a set of tyres on my H2SX and it was a great handling bike for its weight and size so I also wore out the edge of the tyres too😂 Thanks for answering my question on tyres for the GSA,it's good to get your opinion 👍

You're welcome, also these mileages were riding two up and fully loaded with equipment =)
