Three countries, 6000km, 12 epic days and one legendary motorcycle! I travel to Norway, buy an old Honda Africa Twin and prep it for the ultimate adventure ride to the Arctic Circle. It is one of the toughest but most rewarding motorcycle adventures I have ever done and so fulfilling to do it on my very own adventure bike! Travelling solo, I'm carrying some compact camping gear, a few spares and tools, my camera equipment and a bit of food. The rest, as usual, I just make up as I go. Riding off-road tracks through the vast forests of Sweden to Norway's remote Nordic Tundra, this ride is truly a life-enhancing experience. I see wild Moose, Reindeer, Mink and Grouse on this journey, so come with me to the top of the world on my 1992 Honda XRV750 Africa Twin, which I have aptly named The Warhorse!

Blown away by all the comments and show of support for my films, so thank you everyone. This was a tough one as you can probably tell but I'm just grateful to be able to bring these productions to life and inspire people to ride. The comments are coming in thick and fast, I do try and read them all so please know your connection with me is felt. To answer the number one question that seems to baffle people ... Yes, I travelled alone on this project so 100% I did all the filming myself. I carry a small DSLR, drone and laptop/hard drives in my backpack. The drone shots are the most difficult and time consuming as it sometimes takes multiple attempts to keep the tracking locked on me, made all the more tricky adjusting the controller on the fly which is attached to my handlebars during the scenes. If you watch to the end of the video, there is the option to become a member and watch 'Preparing The Warhorse' where I show my whole kit and set up for this production. Thanks again for the support ... Adam
Adam, I've traveled in 63 countries, 45 on a motorcycle and more to come soon. No passive income. Work, save, travel, repeat. You're an inspiration to me. Your soothing voice and your story motivates me even further. I've nothing but respect for you. We share the same feelings and it brings tears to my eyes. I truly hope to meet you in person one day. All the best brother.
Topgear needs 30 people to do a road trip with 3 blokes ;) you on the other hand are alone, self sufficient, bringing a beyond fantastic story, binding us viewer emotionally to you... Mate you are bring us truly something special. a special message, you are a special guy with a special talent and a special story. Fantastic! thank you for sharing this with us. cheers from the Netherlands!
"it's not an adventure unless you're pissing in the radiator". Pure gold 😂
And here I am again watching this video. It was 8 months ago and I told my self "you gotta get driving license and get going". Today was the day I passed and got mine! Thank you dude for encouraging me to get onto my own adventure and see world that I didn't see before me. Keep up the good work!
Mate, this is a masterpiece! The views, the narratives and THE WARHORSE! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
"Who really got the luxury of time!" that is a quote to remember 👏🏻 you got me laughing when you stand there, doing the fix on the bike with piss running down you arm 🤣👏🏻 What a legend. Welcome back to Norway anytime Adam 🇳🇴 This was absolutely beautiful to watch. Amaze me to see how much story you manage to tell with so little footage. I know you have been past some insanely beautiful spots. I guess less is more in most cases. Thank you 🎥
This has to be one of the most memorable videos I've seen in a while on YouTube. Thanks Adam for what you bring to us, lucky spectators to this amazing adventure.
I am going to be honest. A few months ago i felt like life no longer mattered. I feel mentally abused at home and i can't find my own home in the current economy. I have been stuck in a house that has given me nothing but stress for as long as i can remember. I never had any friends except for this one friend i had online which i have only met twice in real life. I never was allowed to do any sports and never learned anything from my parents except for cleaning the house all day everyday. I have spent my entire life at school and my bedroom and now at work and my bedroom. I don't even know the name of the towns near where i live. The second i saw my first ever motorcycle adventure video i felt free for the first time. It felt like all my problems went away. I started crying my eyes out and everyday since then my urge to get out there and explore the world has only continued to grow. I love this video, it inspires me. Next year i will get my first motorcycle, i don't know which one yet. I am 6,1ft (185cm). Thank you for showing me that life is worth living. **Adam Riemann, YOU ARE MY HERO**
"I am a motorcycle rider..." I am too, for over 45 years now. You have captured the essence of what riding is to me and others. It is sun and rain and being uncomfortable. It is sun and wind and the unknown. I leave next year for 2 years on my bike. I will hurt, I will suffer, I will risk. Thank you Adam. From a place deep inside me, I send you my deepest respect and admiration.
One of the best youtube channels out there. Your films make me feel like I am in an adventure although I don't even own a motorcycle. Great stuff, great man.
This was a total random recommendation by YouTube and it’s probably one of the very first (and few) that made me genuinely happy. What a story, what an emotional bond. I totally understand the passion and the link between man and machine. I tell you right now, this video really made me want to get a licence and get something of a small adventure bike and just… ride. All the best to you, sir. Thanks for one of the best videos I’ve ever seen
This is a masterpiece, rooted in wisdom and capturing how humbling exposure to nature really is. No doubt this will inspire countless people to pursue adventures of their own.
"Who really does have the luxury of time? We've Just got to take the opportunity we've got, and go for it" wise words by a wise man! Your movies are absolutely sensational mate, and very powerful. Love your work.
I was about 10 when my dad started to tell me about a certain queen of Africa. Been a dream ever since until June 2020. living the dream ever since. This vlog perhaps is the closest to the emotion that I could absolutely relate to. What a story teller you are. Keep inspiring 🤘
I've ridden 50 years and all over the world. Your movie is 5 star.🙂
Storytelling out of this world. Thank you for the inspiration 🫡
Norwegians are top blokes. Always solid and dependable in times of trouble. Must be the extreme weather and lack of people. They take human interaction very seriously. Love them to bits.
Wow, Adam what you're doing is an inspiration for all of us motocyclists! The riding skills, the technical competence, the videography. All the efforts of the past years are visible in this production. Congratulations for having the bravery to go your way and let us be spectators of it!
Mate, I absolutely loved this! This right here is a true adventure ride, well told, filmed, and edited. This has inspired me to go on that trip I've been toying with for years now. Time to just get out and do it!
