15 things you need to know about Iceland for a motorcycle adventure

[@gunnsteinnjonsson9166]

As an lcelander l really enjoyed listening to you go through your list. Most of it was spot on and l was very pleased when you talked about our sensitive nature and how important it is to stay on the dedicated paths and roads. Everyone who wants to ride in lceland should watch this. Thanks 😊

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw thank you. That's super lovely to hear. I hope we can keep the county protected for the future ❤️

[@msims1250]

Great tips! I have thoroughly enjoyed your videos from Iceland. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful adventures. Happy New Year!

Wish I was taller so I fitted off road bikes. Looks incredible thanks for the awesome vlogs Vanessa. 👏👍

[@TheGirlOnABike]

You can do off road! There are always options on bikes! Lowering, slim seats, smaller bikes and try trials for balance skill to transfer. Give it a try! 👏🏼👏🏼

Sounds like a Montesa Cota 4ride, Beta Alp, or Sherco Long Ride would be ideal, they are extremely capable bikes, popular with long distance trials riders but great for all kinds of adventures.

[@saevars5199]

Check out northern Iceland if you ever come back, it rains much less (on average) and much fewer river crossings. Great video series.

Hi I love those cammo over trousers & your red/black trousers, where can I but them? Can you please add links to the clothing too, loving your style!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

yeah for sure. The camo is military issue waterproofs so I'd try an arm surplus store. Jacket is Adventure Spec - insanely hard wearing and waterproof. You might enjoy this kit video too kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5SUhqF7dt2Zh6M

[@andrifsig]

Got a new sub in me! Thanks for mentioning the illegal offroad driving and riding. Too few social media influencers mention that in their videos and some even break it without a care for our pristine nature. Hope you enjoyed your stay here in Iceland and hope you come back for more exploring. Plenty of areas to explore such as the areas north of Vatnajökull and also the Westfjords.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

thanks dude. I think being responsible and increasing awareness with the understanding of WHY you shouldn't even want to leave the track is so important. Big thanks for the thanks too, it's nice to hear. OMG I will be back. I'm thinking Wesfjords next time, I love Iceland!! love love love

[@steveh545]

cool! did you wear (famously) "unwaterproof" dirt bike boots? With waterproof socks? When will someone make an MX boot that's waterproof?

[@TheGirlOnABike]

haha yes I did. There are actually MX boots that are waterproof now, Alpinestars do them. BUT there is a big problem...they stop water coming in from the foot but they don't stop water going over the top and filling them...like a river crossing. If you have unwaterproof socks the water will then drain out but in waterproof boots it stays in! haha so it's actually worse to have waterproof boots in really wet situations. Madness. I'm 100% a fan of the socks. Warm dry feet...soppy wet boots... but no problem haha

[@steveh545]

@@TheGirlOnABike awesome. Just read up on Alpinestars. Didn’t know they existed. And you’re correct, only waterproof up to the top. Awesome vids of Iceland. Definitely a bucket list for me.

[@BohanDMITRY]

and in Iceland, can you ride a motorcycle only on roads or can you go to fields, volcanoes?

[@TheGirlOnABike]

you can ride on any tracks, and there are a lot of tracks that go all over the volcanoes so the off-road riding is incredible, but you can’t go off piste such

Joe Rohan did the carnivore diet for a month and said his pigment was coming back. I have vitiligo because of pernicious anemia and am on the carnivore diet. It helps my gut immensely. My vitiligo is almost unnoticeable now.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thank you for thinking of me. I'm at one with my skin and don't feel the negative implications of a carnivore diet on the environment are worth the possible uncertain benefits to my cosmetic appearance. I'm happy with a varied, balanced and nutritious diet. Thanks for thinking of me though.

[@alananderson5202]

@@TheGirlOnABike Sorry. I come from a ranching family. We love the land and environment. Lots of fake news out there. Our wetlands, trees, and foliage do lots to make oxygen and clean the air. My dad was very particular about where we could ride our dirtbikes on our land to keep erosion down. I'd like to see us all plant more trees.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I can understand that. Sadly I don't have the land to offset my actions ☹️

[@geirsvarsson8585]

No, Icelandic horse, although on the smaller side it is not classified internationally as a pony…an exception to the guideline.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@bunnydaduk]

Great watch ! can't believe you can get fined for riding off road in Iceland !

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yeah big fines too, I hear up to 10k! They're terrain is so sensitive so it does make sense. It's the only place I've ever been were it still looks like nature is in control. No rubbish everywhere and human destruction, something worth preserving like they are....even if it's less fun hehe [there are LOADS of legal trails so it's not really an issue when you know where]

[@greatfallskam]

I was enjoying another episode and loving Iceland till the " eat pony " part came up. I am no Hindu vegetarian...but a pony !?? I guess I have to buy a sheep or lamb from local farmer ;-) I think the diet scares me more than the terrain. Kam Another awesome episode.

[@philipmarr7325]

Horse is better than you think. In fact, dont think about it. I ate horse several times on a trip to Iceland.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

haha I can understand that. I feel the same in any other culture in the world, but given the harsh winters it does make sense there. I certainly will not be eating pony at home!

[@greatfallskam]

@@TheGirlOnABike LOL.. The Vikings just need to do clever marketing. The kind we do in USA....we just say everything exotic tastes " just like chicken."

As an Icelander i gotta say ive maybe once been offered horse meat and wasnt that enthusiastic about that! Would not call it a normal thing to eat in Iceland. Dried fish with butter? hell yeah. Fermented shark? hell yeah. Horse? nah think ill pass on that! Think the guides have been overselling that a bit:P

[@brmmotorsport]

heyrðu félagi, þú átt mikið eftir ef þú hefur ekki grillað folalda steik.!!!

haha I love your reaction to the dried fish! My face was less excited but actually pleasantly surprised by the taste! Hehe. That's so strange to hear on the horse part. I've been twice and both times the horse was a big emphasise [this trip, and a golden circle trip which actually included horse riding]. Maybe it's one of those things like sausages and mash in england, we don't ALL love it haha [although I do lol]. Mega appreciate your time watching and commenting dude. Amazing country!
