    On behalf of every norwegian, I'd like to thank you for the music, tumbling and facial expressions, it adds to the drama. We tend to forget that, living in the middle of it.

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  Před 10 měsíci

      I am slowly beginning to agree. Even I have been using way less footage than when I first got the flyer. Like everything, the wave has turned into a flood and now it’s not new or exciting anymore. But when the footage is worth it and it fits… magic. As long as you don’t crash it and spoil everything.

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  Před 10 měsíci

  • @jadeybrice
    @jadeybrice Před 10 měsíci +2

    Just up to the drone going missing after the bike drop. Brilliant video because it's honest and I reckon you've got 'bike tour fatigue'. What a nightmare, searching for a little grey drone in all that grey rock 😢😮 only mildly funny weeks afterwards on reflection 😅

    • @AndyManCam
      @AndyManCam  Před 10 měsíci +1

      That’s what it’s all about isn’t it! Nobody likes a tour that goes to plan! I’m very happy (but only in hindsight) that this little twist gave the end of the tour an extra kick in the drama pants! 😂 Cheers mate and see you in the next series!

    “…who else is fed up with drone recovery videos eh??…thinks he can take the most cinematic footage in the world… just looks like a penis when he goes chasing after it…”

    Every time i watched one of these "Norway By Bike" episodes, i miss my old silver 2019 Kawasaki Z1000SX. The only thing that bothered me enough that i sold the bike was the exhaust blocking the chain, making maintenance a pain. And that it ate up a front tire every 4000 km....

      It can be a real worry. I’m sure that i‘d have been OK to pick up the Honda alone, but it’s always nice to get some help! I had to haul the KTM 1090 up several times alone on the second norway trip. But it’s really important to ride on something that you know you can ‚deal‘ with when the worst happens, or be with people who can help you. 👍🏻
