[@martinfretwell]

You looked like you were struggling a bit at times. I'm glad you didn't edit it out. We all have hard days especially on a long trip away from home. I think you do an amazing job and I love your work .

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I like to show it all, the good, the bad and the struggles! I try my best to share everything with you all. Thank you for your support

[@riendetout8812]

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha it can be terrifying! Thanks i had an amazing time

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

[@mikep.9371]

What a nice Monday video surprise. Nice to not worry about the wind and helmet hair. An opinel is a great apple opener. Take care and have a good week ahead.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Glad you enjoyed it. Haha sure was, thank you

[@BeanieBiker_AutisticRider]

absolutely agree with you Vanessa, some of the most enjoyable chilled out riding can be found in the wet and heavy rain, less traffic, doubly awesome when wearing the correct clothing, Iceland looks phenomenal, been following Lyndon on his travels through Iceland as well, and when Richy Vida did it

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Correct clothing definitely makes a difference! Nice

[@BlackThor15]

Thank you Vanessa for this awesome series and also for sharing your story at the London Excel show, well done you! 👍👍

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Glad you enjoyed the series, thanks for watching!

[@Nickwillfixit]

Still on my bucket list Iceland, along with a few more islands also.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Nice, i hope you get to go one day

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Those river crossings are amazing with such a heavy bike. Not falling down, great feat. And the reward afterwards: I can smell the hot tubs ;-) Like eggs. Cheers, Günter/Nürnberg

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks dude.

[@offroadagain]

What an epic experience! Great video, very inspiring to plan my 2023 adventures on my 2019 AT.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. Goodluck with your adventure 🙂

[@martinfretwell]

I learned something watching this . I've been riding and doing outdoor activity for years and always used cotton t shirts ect. After watching thisI've just bought a base layer and what a difference . They are well over priced but worth it. I will wear them all winter now for my window cleaning job too. Thanks vanessa

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh yey i am so glad to hear that this video helped you!! You will definitely stay warm now :)

[@JoshLJ24]

[@TheGirlOnABike]

[@sanjok695]

I love your advanture ride and awsome nature🔥

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@Skiamakhos]

That blue lagoon looks like the perfect place to end up after a cold day in the saddle.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

it really was heaven! Felt amazing on the body

[@Colwood22]

This is the second time I have seen you tour Iceland and what an epic journey, just amazing scenery, the AT was better than I expected and your fellow riders looked like a lot of fun to be touring with.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks Colin. Yeah Iceland is one of these countries I can go back to you over and over and over again. And I say I agree in expectations big exceeded by the Africa Twin in that terrain

[@stewartsmith8642]

Loved it you looked like you had such a great time even with the rain

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Thanks dude. It really is one of these countries where you’ve just Gotta suck up the weather, wear the right kit and enjoy it. Rain cold wet it’s still epic. Hehe

[@bigswederides]

Watched all of your Iceland videos with my 6-year-old blond blue-eyed daughter, who up to now, has been a girly girl, fixated on Barbies. But, now, she has become a big fan of yours, and can't wait for the next episode. Thank you for the inspiration - maybe one day she will join her dad on a bike adventure!😊😊

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Wow that's so lovely to hear. Yey. Say hi to her from me!!! I love this

[@scovacevich]

Absolutely amazing !! Now the question…Africa Twin or Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Cheers

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh thats a tough one, they both have their different benefits!

[@Ben47471]

What an awesome adventure, thanks for sharing it with us.. now you could do the most honest well tested Africa Twin vs Tiger 900 review ever. I have the Africa twin my brother has the Rally Pro 900, I think the Rally Pro has nicer fit & finish aka feels more expensive which it is and better suspension. But I still really like my Twin.... And now I want to go to Iceland

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! Haha you should do it, it is amazing!

[@christopher54179]

Well done. Absolutely showed off Iceland. I think the tourism board should pay you😂I really want to go there.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hahah! Glad you enjoyed it, hope you can go one day, it is stunning

[@uponthepegs]

Great vlog, Vanessa. It’s a stunning place to ride eh? I’ve driven but not ridden and always hankered to go back there and ride those trails/roads. Is that Honda experience available or was this a one off for vloggers and journalists? Personally I think the Africa Twin is one of the best for the terrain, but then I may be bias! You looked like you have a great time and handled the AT well - as expected! Much enjoyed.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yeah it’s 100% my favourite riding country to ride. so the Honda experience was actually a Honda global adventure, they do one every year which Africa Twin customers can go on, but it won’t be back in Iceland again. If you look up, Honda adventures roads you should find the trips. I would say look up Ride With Locals and they have Husqvarna 7O1s, absolutely dream bikes for doing Iceland I’d say. Much more manageable for the gnarled stuff and rivers. I’m actually going back to ride with ride with locals in August. I loved it so much, and you can see videos of my channel of my previous trip with them

[@glennmcguire5571]

What a ride. Love it. What tires did the have on the AT's?

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh good question and one my brain is totally failing me on Ummm I can’t for the life of me recall. Might have been Anakee wilds 🤔

[@glennmcguire5571]

@@TheGirlOnABike Ok, Thank You. Enjoy your adventures.

[@brianbennett6978]

We called the outside restrooms out houses.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

🙂

[@Nickwillfixit]

Did you get a chance to ride one with a clutch, would be interested how different the riding experience would be, I ride a 1988 V-Max much modified but after busting my back riding Enduro I have left side mobility issues just wondering whether theiris much difference, as my African twin sits idle.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yeah I rode both. The DCT basically simplifies everything. So a river crossing suddenly you can stall which gives you loads more capacity for tackling everything else. I personally prefer the manual but can under the DCT and why others would want one!

[@jaygamble5596]

Camera is to low. Good view of the handle bars.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Sometimes the hard terrain makes it hard to get the perfect angles all the time, but it is what it is 🙂
