It's sad to say that in June, we only had two days, yes 2 days without rain here on the west coast of Norway. Don't think it was any better up north ๐Ÿ™ˆ We found some nice weather in Telemark County (Runa is making a video about that) But like every year, July seams to deliver some heat and nice weather (so far)
Our next big trip is still in planing but we hope to set sails late August this year. Until then there will be some micro adventures (famous word these days)

Stay safe.

We finally back home again, somewhat landed after two really intense weeks with a lot of work and riding ๐Ÿคฉ
The ADV HangOut 2026 was a great success. Glad to see so many people sharing the same passion and wanting to give back to this incredible community.
Always surprise me how much good comes out of getting together like this. So many likeminded people coming up with new ideas and help make plans for what can be even better next year.
It's quite humbling to be smack in the middle of all this. And we promise to make it even better next year, if you were unlucky and missed it this year.

Stay safe, new adventures in the Horizon ๐Ÿคซ

The season is finally starting here in Norway. Some short local trips because it's still pretty cold and a lot of snow in the mountains. But in the upcoming month we are spending a lot of time on the road, both in Norway and Sweden.

What are your plans this spring?

GoPro just announced their New Mission 1 series ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

One thing that is absolutely fantastic with these... they come with a 1 inch sensor. 8K open gate? Really? Well, I'm not convinced and really don't see the point. Keep it 4K and not have it overheat and run out of battery so fast.

Really curious to see if they can compete in the market. The nudges to the lense will make it harder to brake, but worse to mount a ND filter on. More competition means better gear for us as consumers.
2026/27 can be a good camera year. I bet DJI has something up their sleeve as well ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐ŸŽฅ

I'm finally back home after some really crazy days down in Sicily, Italy ๐Ÿคฉ

The bike does not disappoint and I'm confident that this will be a favorite by many ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Now I will be busy editing video and share my experience with the new World Raid.

Much more to come in the upcoming days.

Tomorrow I'm heading down to Sicily in Italy to test ride the new Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid. I have been a huge fan of the first World Raid, and I'm a bit scared the new upgraded version feels even better than my now Rally 2025 ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Is there anything in particular you want me to address or shine extra lights on when I'm down there? Yes there will be a video of it all.

Leave your questions in the comments and I try to answer them for you.

All the best

"What should I make videos about?"
Iโ€™ve been getting this question a lot lately. My answer is always the same:ย 
Make the video you wish existed. Donโ€™t get bogged down in "finding a niche" or trying to outsmart the algorithm. Create for yourself first. If youโ€™re making something youโ€™d actually want to watch, I guarantee there are plenty of others out there looking for that exact same thing. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

The Show season is started and we had a great time at the Motorcycle Show in Sweden. So many new faces and a lot of familiar faces that keeps on returning and have a chat with us all.
These shows can be quite exhausting with many hours of work, talk and busy schedule, but damn they are inspiring and motivating at the same time.

I have to admit, there is huge admiration and respect for the people who do this all year round ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

Next up for me is the Norwegian Motorcycle show 27.02 - 01.03 at Lillestrรธm. We are preparing something new and unique. Hope to see you there.

What a way to start the New Year ๐Ÿคฉ

The other day I got an invitation from Yamaha to join them in the new Press Release of the new 2026 Yamaha Tenere 700 World Raid.
Can't wait to properly test this bike on what I have heard is some of the most spectacular roads in Sicily ๐Ÿ”ฅ

There is a lot to like about this new World Raid, but will it be enough to make me want to change from my already highly loved and praised 2025 Rally ๐Ÿค”
Time will tell ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿคฃ

Today we launched a new channel, a place where we can show more of the daily stuff we do, some new projects we really want to do and split the content so people get more of what they like without to much mix of content.

We have so many crazy ideas we want to follow up and our ADV channels is probably not the best place to do so. So if you want to follow us and see more of what's coming. here is the second channel: youtube.com/@ThomasRuna

Enjoy
