- The Norway by Bike trip has finally reached it's end.
After many thoroughly enjoyable miles and a fair few unwelcome calamities, it's finally time to wave Ian off at the ferry and draw this epic adventure to a close.
Thank you all so very much for watching.

This series has been utterly splendid Andy, you should be proud of what you have produced here. Bring on the next one…
Thank you very much John. Totally proud and not sure how it’ll ever top it! I’ll keep trying though!
Great series thanks for taking us along 🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻
My pleasure as always John!
So over the last couple of weeks I have watched all of your videos and needless to say you never fail to put a massive smile on my face you content is truly incredible. Thank you for inspiring me to get my bike license and make my own adventures 🫡
Thank you very much Aaron! I’m so very glad that you feel that way and even more so that you took the time to say so. Very very much appreciated! ☺️ Good luck with the license and here’s to your coming adventures! 🍻
Sad that it's over and somehow fitting that the last vid in the series comes as the end of the year approaches, and biking weather has been scant... :( Thanks Andy!! :) :D
Haha! Almost like i planned it… as if I’ve ever planned anything! 😂
Many rhanks, that has been a enjoyable series
My pleasure TTD! Now the videos are finally over, I’m only just getting sad about the trip having ended! Weird!
Ian and Andy, THANK YOU!
Our pleasure! Thank YOU for watching with us!
Top job! Did Nordkapp and Lofoten last year with 3 mates - it was epic! Would love to go back. There’s that much to see it hard to do Norway justice. Loved watching your vids brought back some marvellous memories. 👍👍
Thanks very much! Glad to have taken you back a bit. It really would need at least a month to see ‚all‘ of it!
Amazing trip thanks for taking us along for the ride. Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to some KTM content next.
Thank you for coming along! KTM content coming right up, after a bit of Ducati content! 😉
Fantastic roadtrip and nicely put together with lots of nice views👍🏻
Thank you kindly Uncle Bob.
What a great adventure thank you Andy and Ian for making this series of videos. It was excellent, great patter along the route. Cheers and all the best 👍
Cheers Steven, our pleasure entirely! Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks for taking the time to let us know! 🙏🏻
Inspiring as always Andy.
Oh, that's where I left my fish.
Cheers muchly Adam. I might have known that the first would belong to a culinary professional. 🙄
Thanks for taking us along. We appreciate the effort that goes into producing such quality viewing.
Thank you kindly Pat. You lot are always welcome on my trips! 😚
Thank you very much for sharing with us, Andy! For sure it was an epic trip (and I loved watching it). And this reminiscence vid although not typically AndiManCam wise proofs it.
Curious for the future adventures of AMC.🙃
Thanks Peter. 🙏🏻
Ruddy bloody brilliant, Andy! 😁
Very many thanks Andy! Cheers for the CZcams binging! 🙏🏻
closure on a epic andy man cam trip , thx for sharing
My pleasure entirely Svend. Thanks for the support, eyeballs and otherwise!
This was a great series. Am hoping to go to Norway, but unfortunately not on the bike but with the family. Maybe some day on the bike
Can't win them al eh!? At least you'll still get to see it! Think of it as a scouting mission of the next time! 😉
What a series! Thank you so much for taking the (old) man and the cam(s) on that trip and finding the time to tell us about it. Give us more!
My pleasure! Thanks so much for coming along with us! More on the way!!
Epic journey, well done! Glad you liked Norway, as you said, there is a lot more to see here!
Thank you so much Matt. It is impossible not to like such a stunning country! 🫶
Looked like a fun trip 😎👍
It was a LOT of fun! 🤩
Thanks Andy & Iain for an epic series, I have truly loved watching every minute. Can't wait for Norway Trip 2! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it Darren! The second trip is in the editing queue!
Really, really enjoyed the whole series. Amazing tour, cant really say anything bad about the weather either. You boys were super lucky. Never had even thought that Norway was such an beautiful country. Camera cannot pass the true sensation enough. I hope someday I will be able to visit this majestic country myself.
Keep up the great work, its bonkers!
Thanks very much Cezary! You’re absolutely right. What little rain we had, we had no right to complain about! I can’t recommend going there enough. It truly is astonishingly beautiful.
Great trip, thanks for sharing it with us👍
Thanks Ian. Cheers for watching through it!
That truly was an epic journey Andy, don't know how you're going to do one better than that. I'm sure you'll be doing your best though 😂😂
Thanks very much mate! Maybe this is the point at which i should retire, rather than chasing that elusive second album!? 😜
Would be great to see the " band " back together for some sort of reunion tour perhaps ? 😂😂
Oddly enough, i was in the UK recently and rode around a bit with Ian on his new Tiger 1200 and me on the Tuareg 660! Videos in the queue!
Andy, what an epic trip and wonderful videos. Thank you so much. Do you have other travel series with Ian on CZcams?
Thank YOU so much Karan! Actually there are a couple with Ian on board. First there’s the NC500: NC500...ish. A modified coastal tour of Scotland!
czcams.com/play/PLQyyGnBe8Lfe1q9lBkfsAQwD1xegksjr6.html
Then there’s the Swiss alps and Lake Como: €uro Too!

And finally Croatia: Motorcycle Touring in Croatia

Enjoy!
Always something so bittersweet about the end of a long tour, but thank you for sharing this trip with us all and showing the world there is far more to Norway than just the run up to Nordkapp for the sake of it. Bring on next year!!!
Watched All the videos very entertaining and scenery to die for . It's on my bucket list it would be interesting to have some info on your costings of ferry's etc. There is supposed to be a new ferry service starting from UK to Norway in 2025 that would be amazing. Ps many thanks for your efforts 😁
@@terrybrooks7140 Oooohh - new Uk -> Norway ferry you say.... interesting!! :D thx!
My pleasure Mark! We certainly weren’t struggling for roads to ride or things to look at! I’m planning a choosing roundup video soon Terry. I think it’ll be pleasantly surprising. Even better for all if the ferry starts up again!
Thoroughly enjoyed the series Andy. Well done on producing excellent videos. I wonder where you will go next to top that trip.
Thank you John! The next trip, to Gran Canaria, will be along very soon!
Thank you for an epic tour series Andy, loved every minute. Hopefully it won't be long before the next one is brightening the dark dreary winter's evenings!
Thanks very much Steve! Don’t worry mate, I’m already working on the footage from the trip after this one!
@@AndyManCam Can't beat a bit of vicarious touring to keep the enthusiasm up over the winter 😀
I couldn’t agree more! Plus the editing keeps me distracted from the inability to ride too!
Wonderful content. Thanks
Cheers Ian! 😊
Well done guys thoughly enjoyed the trip 👍
Thanks Alan, glad to hear it. That makes three of us! 😋
Thanks for the vids. Have booked for July next year so looking forward to it.
Awesome stuff! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it immensely!! Good luck keeping your patience and excitement in check leading up to a trip like that!!
Yes, “drop a lit match into it!” I always do that to cardholders out the old gas. It’ll burn out that tank liner 💩 too! But don’t try it indoors, kid. 🙀🙀
😂 brilliant! Old school cleaning! I‘ve got a plastic tank now, so probably best not!
Blimey Andy, that was emotional.. This was my first CZcams bike trip start to finish so the bar is now impossibly high. Many thanks to you and Ian
I’ll be honest, i had a bit of a lump in the throat putting it together!! Thanks so much for watching the lot mate! Hopefully i can better it someday. Not sure how though! 😅
Thankyou Andy for letting us feel a tiny fraction of the joy, what an absolutely fantastic journey, cheers mate
My pleasure entirely mate! Very glad you enjoyed it!!
A fantastic tour, Andy. Norway is certainly a beautiful country.
Thanks Jim. It really is. So beautiful in fact, that i went back again…
Ive heard rumours DFDS are thinking of reinstating Newcastle to Norway really hope they do your trip was epic
That would be handy for many of you folks on the island!!
Oohh, no more Norway videos... 😢 Good luck on your next trips Andy!
Haha! Luckily there was no actual Norway in this one! 😜
Slick vid Andy. 🤟
Thank you Steve!!
It’s been a lot of fun following the two of you, from Norway. And seeing places I have yet to visit myself. So, there’s always an untraveled road to visit. Thanks for the ride.
Thank you for watching along!! This trip was immensely enjoyable to ride, but then enjoyable all over again to share! Cheers!
A really top series. Really enjoyed that Andy. Norway itself is a massive help of course but the production has been great. Looking forwards to the next one 👍
I really appreciate that mate. Thanks! 🙏🏻
What an epic road trip! thanks Andy for all the effort it must take to film and edit these videos, I know I couldn't do it! We've just booked the ferries for our Northern Spain/Pyrenees tour next year. I love riding and especially exploring and touring but there is nothing like a long trip away on 2 wheels!
Be shure to go to bardenas reales. Its awesome!
Thanks Pete! Congrats on the booking! I’m fancying a bit of Spanish action too, as soon as i can make it happen 👍🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Looking forward to watching the next one!
Thanks Mr Buzz! Shouldn’t be too long now!
Another brilliant series of videos, very very well done.
I may well get shot down for this but...
I went to Norway on a 3 week trip earlier this year and enjoyed it a lot, stunning scenery and very friendly people, but for me Spain is at the top of the list. The biggest reason being the roads are wider with higher speed limits, great weather and it's cheaper. For us Brits it's also easier to get to. Just my opinion and I appreciate we are all different.
Thanks so much Paul. I don’t think anybody can shoot you down for that mate. One man’s poison etc.. I totally see the attraction with Spain. In fact it’s pretty much at the top of my list for the next outing 👍🏻
It's been thoroughly fantastic to be a fly on your helmet for this trip! I enjoyed every bit of it and can't wait to do my own trip to Norway in the summer - only ever been in the winter. Thank you for putting in all this hard work Andy!
It’s been my pleasure to have you on my helmet… wait… that came out wrong…
Cheers Andy and Ian, Awesome series. Nuff Said!
Thank you very much indeed, darling. 😚
Really enjoyed this series. Endless scenery and great commentary 👍👍👍
Very kind of you to say so, thanks! ☺️
You guys literally rode through my home town in Denmark. Disappointed i didnt see you😂
Small world eh!
Thank you for showing of Norway in such a beautiful way. Did enjoy all the videos!
Thank you for saying so Svein. Much appreciated!
Funnily enough, I have just sold my 2018 CB1000R to purchase a 2023 Ninja 1000
I've loved this series! Keep up the great work
That is amusing! Congrats on the new bike. Many thanks for watching!
Great series mate!!
Thanks very much Daryl! Cheers for coming along!
Fantastic series Andy great that you can do these trips with someone you care about. My last two bike tours have been with my 86 year old Dad on his Burgman 400 and me on the GS great memories. Norway next?? that would be a special trip.. thanks again for the great content 👍
It does make it that bit more special, doesn’t it!? I can’t recommend Norway enough mate.
A fantastic trip. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Absolutely my pleasure Alan! 😊
Thank you for sharing that fantastic series ! Norway is on the to-do list, but as you mention, Norway is just soooo incredibly expensive 😮 Will have to stick to the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Dolomites, the Picos for now. Your journey just gives even more regrets for not going up there for now : the rides and the scenery you show (was looking for an adjective for how well you did that, but can’t find the proper one… just huge kudos there) in the series seem amazing ! Thx again 🙌✌️
Thank you Michio! Those you listed are all amazing in their own ways, but definitely keep an eye on Norway. If the chance arrives, grab it!!
Brilliant brilliant brilliant tour Andy - thanks for sharing. Your videos have been entertaining, informative, fun, skilfully filmed, artfully edited and most of all, have given the rest of us the chance to see and vicariously experience a place many of us would hope to go to one day, if we haven't yet managed.... Norway was about top of my list before, unfortunately for my savings account you have done nothing to change that. Must try harder 😉 and yes I know that's ambiguous 😂. Ride safe and glad you've since changed steed to hopefully something kinder to your tail end (much as I would love a CB1000R, the looks, the sound, the machined engine covers etc etc...)
Thank you very much 🙏🏻 That’s all i ever wanted to achieve. Hopefully your account will finally get the message and send you over there in person some day! The CB was a beautiful machine, but it nearly broke me on this trip!! The KTM was an utter joy on its first trip, hopefully the Aprilia will be even better!!
Great vid series
Thank you so very much!! 🫶
Love Norway, can’t wait to go back. Thanks for an epic trip. What ferry was Ian getting from and to?
Cheers! You and me both! Ian was initially just crossing the river Elbe.
Wonderful series, not least because it highlighted areas of Norway possibly not usually considered; Nordkapp being the usual focus. Food for lots of thought, thankee.
Cheers Neil! Initially we were a little disappointed that we had no time to get up to the top. But having seen that there’s so much more to Norway than the headliners we’ve all heard about, that lack of time was more of a blessing than a curse!
Fantastic trip!!!❤
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed!
I trust the op went well and all is good. 👍. I bet the SX1000 was more comfortable! 😁
1 op sadly became 2 or 3, but hopefully he’s got it all in the rear view now! Glad to say that we’ve been riding again since though! Videos on the way 😚
You must have so much footage to get through as I feel like this happened years ago (early videos & bikes) 😂
Sadly you’re not wrong!! This series ended up with over 8 TB of footage! Though to be honest, it’s not the volume that shows things, sadly it’s the day job that robs me of the time to edit! I’m streamlining, so hopefully things will get quicker, but it might take a little while to notice!
Great series Andy, and I always enjoy seeing your trips with Ian. Saw in a comment that one op became a few, but as you say I hope he's through and moving beyond before too long. I hope he's enjoying the Kawi too, being a somewhat rushed purchase as it was. It would be interesting to get a sit-down vid with him on a later trip or meetup to get his thoughts on it, and how it compares to the last couple, what with the big tourers not being a segment that you've often covered.
Thanks mate! Sounds like a great idea, if it weren’t for the fact that the Z1000Sx got traded for one Tiger 1200 and then a newer Tiger 1200! Maybe that says all you need to know about the comfort!?
@@AndyManCam Either that or he's a moto-Goldilocks, a man after my own heart!
He’s definitely that, and a very happy Goldilocks at that!
Respect Ian
Agreed! 👍🏻
So, you thought that if you slipped in a quickie we wouldn't notice ¬_¬ So where does Ian's ferry go? A great series 🙂
Pretty much. No pulling the wool over your eyes though! The one at the end of this vid just crosses the River Elbe. His ultimate ferry went from Rotterdam to Harwich.
Went back to the original handlebar ? What happened the controls were rolling or you just liked it better for comfort?
Andy... Where is the Aprillia?
Just watched this trip again, mega! Curious, how did it go for Ian with accident he hade before the trip?
Cheers! Ian was mostly healed up and back to fighting fitness a month or two after this trip. Sadly didn’t get as much compensation as he hoped but the dude who hit him was prosecuted and fined.
Your arse is shredded, not the bike then😂
Definitely not! I pretty much never rode it again after this trip! 😫
Takk!
Tusen takk! 🙏🏻
it seems one has to be both a car mechanic, an electronic engineer and have a dose of ADHD to be able to fix cars these days!
It all helps!! 😁
ANDY ! Your videos used to be more energetic. You used to have much worse bike and video equipment, but spirit was like more excited. Get rest rethink all that journeys and get new kick to the channel. This video was kind of tired and not excited. All respect to Your work but...
I’ll let you into a secret. At the end of this trip i WAS tired and unexcited! That last little disaster day, followed by the long motorway day and all in a bike bike not really suited to that kind of trip really took it out of me! Trust me, energy levels are back up in the next one…
