I've been to that waterfall. Iceland is a very cool place to travel around. The wind is real ;-)

[@cahalhayes9192]

Just watched your new video amazing work from behind the waterfall. And you are honest about how being on the road for long periods on your own can sometimes get lonely Love the video keep up the good work

[@roshanshibu6637]

I have been binge watching your videos since last night, and I got to watch this new one now! Your videos are very honest and makes me want to go out on my own adventures. I hope the youtube thing works out well for you, because it's always nice to see someone do what they love to do!

[@FreeMilesMC]

I Hope so too. It’s still a Long way to Go, but i think the basic foundation for this Channel is quit good

[@desinraila1]

As always a great episode! Safe rides and best wishes :)

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thank you☺️

[@mrcintheuk4641]

For me this wouldn't be an adventure, it's just an unpleasant endurance. Like continually hitting your head against a brick wall - it's brilliant when you stop doing it! However, each to their own. I look forward to watching the coming videos. 👍👍👍

[@FreeMilesMC]

Yes you are right. Sadly you only find out when you do the trip. I actually imagined this trip very differently 😂😂

[@Delerium04]

Very cool! i just got back from my sunday drive. You inspire me to go on more advanced adventures :)

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thats nice to hear, i Hope you will have some great Adventures ☺️

[@rextherexter7779]

Es ist so toll zu sehen das dein Channel mit jedem video größer wird. Sehr geile videos immer weiter sooo😊

[@FreeMilesMC]

Danke für diesen großartigen Kommentar. ich hoffe auch das der Kanal weiter wächst. :)

[@honky-tonk]

@FreeMilesMC ...Pro tip for next push start. gain speed while in neutral, then clutch and gear in 2nd. because pushing while geared in and only using clutch has more friction compared to neutral. Cheers...awesome video btw.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thank you for the Tip. That's Probably some advanced old budget bike knowledge ;).

[@honky-tonk]

@@FreeMilesMC 1998 honda africa twin...gained some experience push starting 😉

[@bartxxl1]

I feel nervous watching your videos. Incredible adventure!!! Good luck

[@unOrdinaryWorld]

00:10 19:05 I'm sure plenty of other bikers watching this felt these moments in their stomach 😞 fuckin hell man, you're a warrior 💪🏽🏍️💨

[@FreeMilesMC]

Thanks for your appreciation, yes the wind was very intense ☺️

[@Vipermotard]

Seriuosly.... since your battery is half dead and you are not replacing it (very odd) , I would recommend you not to plugin for charge all your devices before start. And if possible turn off the light before start... Then there is a good chance it will start...secondly you must have a charger with you on such a trip so remove battery every evening and set it to charge overnight. But seriously get the battery fixed, and the bike in general... It's refreshing that you choose to ride on a semi old bike, but you could make sure it is in good running before rideout ... Proper checkup and seevice. Good further trip.

[@desak.1]

Dieser Wind hat mich in gute Form gebracht, hab heute das Nordkap erreicht. Grüße ✌️

[@ParaladaEscocia]

Respect!!!

[@wboeren1]

The bike is keeping you in shape the wrong way....

[@FreeMilesMC]

Haha yes 😂

[@zweispurmopped]

Yes, wet socks don't please everybody. The good thing is their impressions evaporate fairly quickly, though. 😊 Man, what a ride! You'd take a day in hell as vacation after this, nicely warm and no wind! Could it be that your XJ won't start due to carburettor settings? Idle fuel too low? It seems she's turning over well and doesn't misfire once she's going, so ignition and a weak starter don't seem to be the root of the issues. Anyway: A most enjoyable video! 🤗

[@FreeMilesMC]

Yes it will be something with the carburetor. I will be fixing it at home. Because a Mechanik im iceland is Crazy expencive

[@zweispurmopped]

@@FreeMilesMC There should be a little hand wheel under the carburettors to adjust the idle. Maybe richen it up a little while you are in the cold weather there. Cold air is denser, thus you have more oxygen per volume. This can disturb carburettor function.

[@FreeMilesMC]

@@zweispurmopped already did that, I think the problem is there is dirt in the carburetors from the bike sinking in the mud. I had a similar issue another time, that’s was caused by the sand from the Sahara after the Morocco tour

[@zweispurmopped]

@@FreeMilesMC Good guess, yepp. After 30 years of fuel injection in most cars one forgets how touchy carbs were…

[@pawesuczyk6463]

Moin Miles Pawel hier also ja man kann natürlich sitzenbleiben auf dem Motorrad aber wenn du aufstehst senkst du den schwerpunkt deines körpers und damit des motorrads und es ist stabiler und dann kannst du auch schneller als 40 fahren. Deswegen stehen die meisten auf. Eigentlich will ich gar nicht meckern macht Spaß dir zuzuschauen und auch wenn das Wetter mau ist props an dich das du das so durchziehst. Mach weiter so und ich feue mich auf die nächste episode.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Danke für den Hinweis. Ja iceland ist manchmal Wetter technisch echt eine Herausforderung. Aber das Abenteuer ist es trotzdem wert ☺️

[@s30foot43]

also den Schwerpunkt verändert man dadurch definitiv nicht - und bei der ergonomie vom Motorrad ist stehen glaub ich auch nicht gerade angenehm...

[@pawesuczyk6463]

@@s30foot43 na klar ist ja keine enduromaschine deswegen würde ich es ja auch nicht stehen aber natürlich senkst du den schwerpunkt vom motorrad wenn du dich auf die fußrasten stellst denn deine 80kilo oder wie viel man wiegt nicht auf 90cm höhe vom boden angreifen sondern auf 30 und das ist schon ein großer unterschied. Du kannst dadurch das schwimmen vom Motorrad besser kontrolieren etc.

[@skulijakobsson5116]

I have a Versys 650 in south of Iceland. Did not ride it until 20th of June this year. Horrendous weather. Watching you explains why😂 😂😂

[@wolfganglueger1691]

Awesome, you are so brave and tough man, hold on! Everything will turn to the better. Even if i could be your father easily, you are still an example to me. And: What you do does make sense! Think of the impact that your videos will have in many people! I am sure your channel will grow consistently, if you stay consistently! Really try to find someone who can help you fix the starter issue.

[@FreeMilesMC]

I am happy that I am able that I could inspire you☺️. I also hope that the channel continues to grow consistently. I hope to inspire some people to just take the bike they have on a tour ☺️

[@Berenor50]

Meinen größten Respekt, man kann jede Minute fühlen und meint man wäre dabei! Mach weiter so!

[@ThrottleAddiction]

Those tyres are proving to be the best choice for this trip.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Yes they are very good. it really turns the XJ in to quit a off-road machine. P.S. Thank you for your Support ;)

[@Im.rider3]

green man

[@FreeMilesMC]

With the suit I look like the tipical BMW GS rider :)

[@martinkearney6817]

That's a real workout, pushing your bike! Have you tried turning it on and off with the key and trying again to start it? I'm sure you have, it works sometimes

[@FreeMilesMC]

Yes you are right sometimes that works

[@martinhack6486]

I hope you are able to warm up - I felt cold just watching you. Your problem with starting the XJ must be really annoying - maybe damp in the electrics somewhere given the climate. I hope you can sort it and that the weather improves.

[@tijo46]

Salut mec, je suis impressionné par ce que peut accomplir cette XJ 600. Ayant moi-même cette moto (datant de 1994), je me dis que je pourrais partir également à l'aventure avec elle, tout comme toi ! J'avais cependant une question : quels pneus as-tu fait monter sur ta moto ? En tout cas, respect à toi et merci de me faire rêver ✌️

[@FreeMilesMC]

Salut, mon pneu s’appelle TKC80. Je suis heureux parce que mon vidéo t’inspire. Je pense la France est un Pay magnifique pour und adventure Come ça. Ja fait un série sur les Pyrénées. Ce était mon tour avec la moto préféré.

[@FreeMilesMC]

Pardon mon français j’ai perdue trop pendant le dernier ans

[@tijo46]

@@FreeMilesMC ne t'excuse pas. Ton français est bien meilleur que mon anglais et mon allemand 😅 Sinon, j'ai hâte de suivre la suite de tes aventures ! ✌️Safe ride

[@didoivanov6292]

How could you chooce the worst place to be with a motorbike?You like wind,rain,cold and not much to see in the middle of the summer?Why you didn`t choose a sunny,beautifull and friendly country to explore,such as Italy,Greece...etc? Safe ride!

[@TrumpulumpumMagik]

Hi! What tire do you have on front and rear? : )

[@FreeMilesMC]

I am running the TKC80 tire

[@venusunusis]

Man, if I were livin in Iceland, I would just buy you a new battery and check the bike so you wouldn't have to fight it everytime you want to start it, it's such a shame you cannot enjoy your trip as supposed to

[@FreeMilesMC]

Oh, thank you That is soo kind. Actually even tho staring the bike is a bit tuff it’s not holding me back. I think the issue lays somewhere in the carburetors

[@venusunusis]

@FreeMilesMC either way, big props for what you're doing, I'm currently fixing an 32yo transalp, and I just couldn't imagine myself dealing with all the issues while on a journey.... I whish you safe travel, be safe, have fun.

[@WimDH]

@@FreeMilesMC I'm pretty sure it's the rust in the tank again. Get it fixed when you're home. It's one problem less on your next trips 🙂 One more tip: switch to soft luggage instead of hard cases. Keep those videos coming, and stay positive!

[@Toni-on-Tour]

Du schreibst daß es ein Problem mit dem vergaser gibt, aber ist doch eher die Batterie? Oder hattest diese bereits leergeorgelt? Grüße Toni

[@FreeMilesMC]

die Batterie wirkt so weit gut, ich hab so ne kleine anzeige wo ich sehen kann wie viel Saft die Batterie hat. :)

[@robdotcom71]

Tell me you got someone to look at your bike in Reykjavik and try and fix the problem....

[@FreeMilesMC]

Sadly not, because its very expensive in Iceland, and I am in quit a strickt time seedual because I have to go back to work.
