Off-road motorcycling through the heart of ICELAND - Part One - Ride With Locals The Girl On A Bike

[@sandros9845]

Spectacular landscapes, the images in the video (the sky in the background, the crossing of the ford, plains that seem to never end) are like many beautiful posters!👏🏻👍🏻

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh yup it is a stunning picturesque country, everywhere you look is just gorgeous views and terrain!

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Great to watch you having fun in Iceland. Yes, the flies... But the trails and amazing scenery. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@js7127]

Good to see you team up with Anika again, planned or not. She is a sweetheart and you two seem to have a real good time.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yey that is ace feedback to hear, super glad you enjoy seeing her on my channel, she will be making a few more appearances soon - plenty of adventures to come hehe. Thanks for watching woooo!

[@tileproplus]

A very enjoyable watch Iceland looks amazing... Ruck on a rock

[@d.Cog420]

hope she doesn't wreck her rack (pannier rack). She was also sitting in that place with Rick (Brabec, just won Dakar today).

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh it is an epic country, definitely one of the best riding countries in the world that's for sure, thanks for watching!

[@d.Cog420]

@@TheGirlOnABike man, you have epic vids, put yourself way tf out there, give really good advice and honest tips. That is all cool but it’s a busy field and lots of others do similar. But you also reply to just about every comment. That’s rare. I can’t see a patreon link, do you have one? Keen to support those that work their arse off (and shoulder 😬).

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh wow that is so kind and sweet of you! I Definitely do put my heart and soul into this, and it does take alot of time to reply to comments and messages on 7 different platforms (YT, Instagram, FB etc) whilst juggling video editing, travel, posting, and maintaining family life also. So this comment is so mega appreciated and I can not thank you enough for taking the time to truly appreciate how much goes into what I do.. I do have a Patreon; I just dont advertise it much but if you feel like you would like to contribute here is the link.. And thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️ patreon.com/TheGirlOnABike

I can certainly see why so many want to visit Iceland. It is an amazing place.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh yea it is incredible, definitely my favorite country!

[@brucestevenson8797]

Looks like incredible riding. I had wondered if Anika was an Ocker. Thanks for sharing this incredible Viking land by bike.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

😅 she definitely is Australian indeed. Iceland is such ace riding my favorite place for sure. Thanks so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@anthonystevens8683]

This looks like a right hoot Vanessa. Having Anika around is also a plus. A good job that you don't have lane assist on the bikes or you could end up anywhere in Iceland and I'm not talking about the bread isle while looking for the cheese.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

😂😂 love this!

[@Regge5]

iceland looks absolutly amang. Definitely a land i will visit someday^.^ Was also wondering, what kind of earplugs are you wearing?

[@jrod7084]

Great vid! What month was this that you were riding there? I’m going in August and I’m trying to decide what gear to bring. Thanks!

[@TheGirlOnABike]

This was in September, I do have a video on what kit to wear if you want to check that out!

[@Toni.63]

When you are in a area with a lot of insects like in this video it is said that not showering is a natural repellent for insects but also for women not wearing scented deodorants and perfumes is a good idea or at least not ones that are sweet smelling or flowers. I imagine you have a lot of people saying inappropriate stuff about the two of you being together like in the video so I am uneasy about saying this. I love seeing you riding with your GF (Sorry I do not know her name?) it is nice to see the two of you having fun and hanging out riding together.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Oh i didnt think of that, interesting! Maybe next time i will give it a go, except i don't think the vikings will enjoy my smelly armpits hehe! But yey super glad to hear you enjoy seeing Anika in the vid, plenty more adventures with her to come woo! 😎

[@iforwilliams2509]

Never miss a video from Iceland fascinating country, unfotunately like the rest of the world its obviously sees the effects of climate chage as you've experienced.

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Definitely my favorite riding country, so beautiful everywhere, but you are right it is slowly being affected and changed

[@marksherman5830]

I liked your drink hats. Haha

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha they were perfect for the job! No swallowed flys with those on

[@zweispurmopped]

The Mys just wanted to be part of the party, trying to be part of the cool kids community there. 🤗

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Haha maybe so

[@packfan1946]

I need to know what that Icelandic hot dog had on it, type of meat, and how did it taste? I'm a hot dog freak that prefers mine Chicago style! Looked like and awesome ride and I hope it will be open this summer if the volcanic eruptions calm down and all clear is given. Will my KTM 890 be able to handle that terrain in this video or no??

[@TheGirlOnABike]

I can not be sure on the meat (can you ever be sure when it comes to a hot dog? 🙈) but it had a special traditional icelandic sauce and some magic crispy onions... I think the best way for you to know is to head over there and try one for yourself, and if you find the hotdog dissapointing I guarantee the riding will make up for it !!

[@packfan1946]

@@TheGirlOnABikeI’ve had many different type of meats hot dogs and loved them all including a reindeer dog.

Hey Vanessa! How skilled one have to be to be able to enjoy this trip? Would basic offroad skills be enough? asking cause I am planning to take one with them myself, though I am more road rider than enduro ...

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Hey dude thanks for watching, super awesome you are interested in going, it is definitely an ace country to ride - my fav for sure! @ridewithlocals offer a variety of trips, for all rider levels, maybe jump on their website and have a look 😎 ridewithlocals.is/

[@triskelworkshop2855]

Do you buy those nets in iceland ? maybe on the ferry ?

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Yup you sure can, I have been to Iceland numerous times and have never had a problem with the flies like this trip so the Vikings gave us the flies nets hehe

[@KDPR5213]

hii Vanessa you went to temple learning academy and I saw you and you are so cool

This video is not relatable for the common moto rider -period! Thanks for the trip highlights and added info.

Oh im sorry you feel that way, these trips are available for the novice riders to the more experienced of riders.. Thanks for watching

[@johnterry804]

Last time I saw Iceland (in news) it was shut? Due to the volcanoes 🌋 kicking off everywhere! And people driving to get away? 😂😂

The Island has never been closed Due to the volcanoes !!! Only Small area... And people are driving to IT... not from it

@TheGirlOnABike thanks Vanessa. I saved that episode but didn't know it was Episode 2. BTW, I'm enjoying your AER 24 series. I've been following it religiously for several years now. Very immersive story telling. Inspirational. 💪😉

[@ravenslament622]

I can see the flies are a pain but at least they don't nibble so use of head nets are needed but I feel it could be worse, it could be flying monkeys 🐒 and sorry but even an umbrella isn't going to be of much use.

Iceland sure looks fantastic, and your vitality and energy just adds to the entire experience. The small winged critters would however drive me insane, unless it is possible to wear a well-used sock, as a talisman around the neck, and skip a few extra showers to keep them at arms length. 🦟🦟🦟

[@TheGirlOnABike]

Aw yey thanks so much for your kind words, super glad you enjoyed the video, i did have a few smelly socks i could have used to try, but i think i would rather eat the flies than smell those sweaty boot socks all day lol
