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

- Follow my off-road adv motorcycle adventure in Iceland with this travel documentary style video. I was lucky enough to explore the heart of Iceland on a motorcycle with RideWithLocals. Riding the Husqvarna 701 enduro adventure motorcycle we travelled 200-240 kilometres each day off-road.
PART ONE • Off-road motorcycling ...
Iceland offers motorcycle riding experiences like nowhere else on Earth and I hope this video will help you see why! Footage is from my GoPro, Mavic Air2 drone and iphone.
Over 2.5 million tourists visit Iceland each year to see the big sights. Hot spas, waterfalls, glaciers, geysers, tectonic plates and lava fields. They pack into coaches or hire cars. But riding here with RideWithLocals on off-road bikes changes your perspective. We can discover the must-see spots from the less trodden tracks, skipping the crowds, and seeing things most tourists might only glimpse from the plane window. We rode up close to Hekla, slept below the Myrdalsjokull Glacier, recharged in an abandoned spa, explored huge craters without a soul in sight, picked across lava fields, crossed valley basins and crested mountains, riding volcanic ash berms. It was riding heaven combined with cultural and geological discovery: A trip only motorcycles can make possible.
We did the trip with RideWithLocals, the only Icelandic enduro company and based just a 2h 45min flight from the UK. A fully-inclusive motorcycle Iceland trip on Husqvarna 701s with a support vehicle, fuel, food, mountain hut accommodation, trail snacks, beer and all the local gen from the Vikings running it. We had six days riding, covered roughly 1400km doing 9 to 11- hour riding days and got to see the real Iceland - which is unseen by most tourists. Expect to pay around €4400 per person. www.ridewithlocals.is

Wonderful to see your enthusiasm for motorcycling and life .It's just a wonderful ride in a beautiful country and a wonderful people on Icland.Thank you.
Thank you very much!
If someone calls me and ask, "hey, what are you doing?" and I'm like, " nothing much, just eating an apple in the middle of four volcanos and lava"..!!, oohh my God, I wish, I could say that..!! And, that was a real good tip for bike towing, special thanks to him. I'm not gonna ask you, if you were ok after falling into the river, the river doesn't know whom it is playing with, Vanessa is a different league.! Awesome stay from Airbnb👌. So you passed the viking test, congrats 😀. I'm Viking 💪💪. I was checking on Internet and it says, a lava can flow on steep slopes at a speed of 9.7 to 48.3 km/hr..!! Isn't that 🤔😳😳, My God..!! Thats daring..you guys..👍👍
haha I LOVE your comments! Thank you. Just eating my apple 🌞 I was definitely COLD after the river but there was no point complaining so I just pushed on, the shower at the end of the day was extra amazing hehe
Lovely vistas, very picturesque , great rout , brilliant bunch of Vikings, lovely drone footage, great bikes.. WELL DONE. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Glad you enjoyed it, that's really made me smile, thanks dude
This is awsome!!!!
Wow, thank you. So glad you enjoyed
Wow!ice land is like a paradise!
I really was! Such a magical place
My wife and I went to Iceland for the first time a few years ago and fell in love with the country. Especially the outstanding geology. Our trip was slightly different to yours because we spent a week travelling around the Icelandic coast on a cruise liner, stopping at various places in the north, west and then Reykjavik. We took coach trips to the usual tourist spots at the various locations. This was very enjoyable for us, but your videos showed us sights we never saw, and had some real breathtaking moments. The drone footage was outstanding and I kept playing those clips over and over. It must've been so enjoyable riding along in such beautiful settings, and I imagine it's something that will stay with you forever. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. The production was superb and we thoroughly enjoyed both both parts.
Thanks Holly. It really was incredible. It was amazing how much we could see by having the bikes to get around, off the beaten track. There were some really cool moments where we didn't quite realise what was around us, and then we fly the drone and see a new angle... WOW. Big thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. It sounds like you both had an amazing adventure too
Best video's of Iceland that I have even seen! 👏
Oh wow. Thank you. That's so kind of you to say ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Once again a beautiful trip
Thanks Safeer, it really was an amazing adventure. One more Iceland video coming soon so stay tuned! 🤙
Great videos. Wonderful experience that must be. I'm a girl who's wanted to ride bikes since I was about 5 years old. I'm now 45 and still can't do it. I think fear and anxiety would be my biggest obstacles to overcome these days. Thanks so much for sharing. 👍
I think now is the time for you to make it happen! You can ride and over come the fear! I'm just a mere little human too, you've got this hun!!!
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
You never quite see a country like you do when you're with the locals. And especially the international biker crew.
I've been lucky enough to have the experience of being shown local hospitality in Australia and the U.S.
This looks incredible though. Wow!
Great content... glad I found the channel.
Happy riding 🙂
I so agree there, the locals just know so much more and have all the fun stories too. Yey, thanks for finding me!
looks fun.
it really was magical!
Awesome trip. What a joy to ride wild.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Wayne
I love exploring Iceland, all the extremes in nature in one special place.
So true! ❤️❤️❤️
What for a invitation to iceland, thumbs up for this.
aw yey, thank you
Iceland Wow Incredible ❤️😊
Your a nice girl. I went to Iceland 1994. It is amazing. Thanks for the video. You know the lack of foliage in Iceland meens it stays the same as for ever. What a super place
thanks Hugo. Oh cool, I bet it was amazing. Yeah the ridewithlocals guys we rode with said that it can take 30 years for the moss to grow due to the seasons. We were so very careful to ensure we were 100% on legal tracks the whole time. What a beautiful place
Amazing place, I need to get out more!
You should! It's unbelievable, mind blowing!
Watched Part 2, then 1, this evening. WOW! Made me feel very peaceful and happy. U duh Man! Metaphorically speaking of course. Or maybe should have said U duh Viking? Thanks for bringing us along! Magic!

Absolutely stunning! Such smartly put together footage. Felt like I needed a nice dry warm towel after watching all the water crossings. Thanks for bringing the rest of us along!
Haha a warm towel would have been amazing. Thank you
Wow. I can't even ride a motorbike, but now I want to learn just so I can do this.
YESS!!! Best reaction ever! hehe You'll love it, it's never to late to learn
WOW absolutely awesome. Merry Christmas Vanessa 👍
Thank you! You too Andy. Happy New Year

My pleasure
Part one and two of your Iceland adventure and what a adventure. Great people, bikes and beautiful scenery. Iceland is a hidden treasure.
Aw thank you! Love that you've watched them both
Looks like so much fun!!! Great video
Thank you 🤗 I so want to go back! hehe
@@TheGirlOnABike I would love to make that trip
Another great vid Prof. It always looks alot better in real life, camera's never do a place justice, but this looks so awesome. Bucket list stuff
Thanks a ton!
One of the best produced motorcycling adventures I have seen.The camera loves you .Your presence will bring you and your team to mainstream TV .Watch out Top Gear......Thanks John.
WOW, oh wow. Thank you John, that's really brought a smile to my face, I would love that! Let's see what time brings. Thanks John xxx
such an amazing tour. unforgettable.
YES!! Such epic memories riding dude.
Looks incredible...but challenging
hehe yeah very true! I was certainly tired by the end 😃
Thank you Vanessa. In-credible!
We wow. Thanks Mike
Thanks for putting this 2-part series together. Really fascinating to see the sights of Iceland. It's a country that's been on my list for a while, but haven't considered biking out there until your two part series. I think we'll be doing alright if we can get across to Ireland this autumn!
Thanks again for taking the time to put this together.
Jamie & Stacey
Glad you enjoyed it both, thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know. An Ireland trip sounds amazing, there are some incredible spots. I hope I can do that one day too 😘
Looks like a great trip and what scenery! Iceland is on my bucket list and now I know who to contact for some riding there. It does look a little over my skill level, so many water crossings, though it probably was good practice. Happy Holidays and safe travels!
Awesome, you'll love it! Don't be worried about the riding level, if you can get a little practice in before and try a mix of terrain you'll be amazed how well you'll do. Just make sure you speak to them before to let them know your level so they can plan the trip to best suit. It's magical!
Very nice to see an amazing trip! Thank you for sharing! You also cut it well and made it interesting to follow.
I'm not a person prone to envy, so instead I'm happy for you all making memories to last a lifetime...
But it seems a little too wet for me, but you all keeps it up with a good mood.
Again - Thank you for sharing!
Watching, I had to turn down sound when you were not talking and when you said something I had to get sound back up again to hear what you were sharing (didn't want to miss anything), since I thought the music were a bit too loud and uniform.
Keep on riding!!
thanks so much Daniel. Really lovely to hear your feedback, especially on the volume! Thank you for taking the time to tell me. I'm learning! Big thanks dude
Brilliant Vanessa, simply brilliant!! Since I don't know which part is my favorite, just gonna watch them both again!! Thank you very much for sharing such amazing series and spreading your inspiration and motivation! Happy Xmas for both of you and best wishes for 2021!! 👍👍
Oh wow. I love that. I would say my least favourite bit is falling in the river, it was scary but... Typically that's one of the funniest bits haha happy Christmas dude 💖
Stunning Adventure with spectacular views beautiful country a bit to far from Canada do
It really is! Such a wonderful country! I hope you can make it some time ❤️

Wow ...I never knew that Iceland was that spectacular. Stunning... as long as you have good waterproofs .... lol Thanks, loved the videos.
Haha yes. Waterproofs are essential! 🤣👏🏼
OK, now we’re showing the stuff, cool bananas. This young Lady’s “got sand”. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
haha thanks Bradley
Ok, I’m definitely going to ride in Iceland. If we are ever allowed to travel again. 🤷♂️
haha good point! Fingers crossed 😁
I did the same 6 days tour in 2018 with ride with locals.... it brings me so much warm in my heart to see this series of video. Everyday felt like being on a different planet. I could comment on every scene! but thanks for this video! Maybe one comment at 8.06 you say that you ride not on road... I agree many time on my tour i was like where is the road? and how come the leader does not have a GPS!! :-)
Aw amazing memories! It really is an incredible place!
Молодцы, хорошая команда.

What a Great Video! So jealous of this experience. Hope to ride there one Day.
Thank you. I hope you can too, you'll love it
Wow...just...wow!IKeep expecting to see Nazgul fly over head.
haha thanks Greg
Truly amazing!! It took me awhile to get to part 2 although part 1 was incredibly good, this goes to the next level. Good that your such a fine athlete....i am sure this is physically demanding. Great going Vanessa and her ˋVikingś .... the pictures and scenery were jaw dropping! Love your Spirit! 🧝♀️
Aw dude that's so mega to hear. Strangely part one has had 10 times for views than part two. Oh well hehe big thanks for watching
@@TheGirlOnABike Hi Vanessa, go figure the fickle public. Don’t let it distract from the quality content that you present. Consistency prevails as does your passion for motorcycling.....
this is beautiful! i love iceland ive been several times and luckily enough before it got really busy
Oh nice. We got lucky too as it was the summer between covid lock-downs so many were not traveling, the USA for example could not visit so it was quiet for us too. I felt so lucky when we went to places like the geyser ❤️
Outstanding!
Any waves along the coast?
Any gold, gems or how about caves to explore?
Bet the fishing is good...
Archeology?
Good stuff...
Thanks Michael. Oh gosh, if there are waves it would be very cold! We spent the whole time riding so I'm not really sure on these parts. Sorry that's not more helpful
@@TheGirlOnABike Thanks for your response.
I love riding, especially, shall we say, at a brisk pace. But I also have many interests, and have been a surfer for decades.
I just love exploring.
Perhaps I was being a bit rhetorical, or perhaps a touch of wonder, as that is a place I have not been to.
sensacional, um rolê desses off road é simplesmente top das galaxias, lugares incríveis. Parabéns por compartilhar esses momentos com a gente aqui no youtube.
Obrigado, foi realmente incrível. A Islândia é como outro mundo. Obrigado por assistir, e obrigado por seu comentário. [google translate]
Show maravilhoso

Righteous.. on the pegs mate.. happy holidays..stay strong.
Yey. You too
Another great video again,thanx!!did you by any chance reviewed the 701?
Thank you! Aw, I totally missed a trick there, I should have! Maybe I'll try and ride one again in the new year and do a review, good idea dude.
@@TheGirlOnABike I wish you an off roadie and happy new year,stay healthy and strengthen those hips, don't push it so hard think of the long run!!!
