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
Part one was amazing and this was even better! The locations are stunning, even more so on the blue-sky days! Thank you for sharing your awesome journey.
Thanks a ton! Wow that's so kind of you, thank you. I'm really happy you enjoyed. Iceland made it easy to make a good video! hehe
That was awesome These videos are right up therewith the best on youtube. Thanks for sharing, I better get saving up!!
wow that is very kind of you to say. You've put a big smile on my face, thank you. I feel like I have so much to learn still by I'm enjoying the process
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 😘
Really enjoyed seeing that Vanessa, looks like you both had an amazing time. Hopefully some more adventures to come in 2021 as things get better. 😄
Mark. 🏍🏍
Thanks Mark, I really hope so. All these rising cases of covid are a little worrying. Fingers crossed this vaccine can roll out fast
Amazing stuff, many thanks for showing us.
My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you enjoy some of my other adventures too
Stunning,one of the best touring vids for scenery and riding I've watched. Epic
Wow, thanks! That's so lovely to hear! Big smiles
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
Merry Christmas, the best for all.
Stunning views... 👍☃️
Happy holidays to you too Antonio
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
So glad I found your channel courtesy of TeapotOne. This is now added to my motorcycle bucket list. Awesome videos, thanks and all the best for 2021!! 👍👍
Welcome aboard! Yey, love that you found me. I really enjoyed that teapot chat!
Thanks for the ride along and adventure great video thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄
aw yey, Thanks, you too! Merry Christmas
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 💖
Mindblowing ride and route, Vanessa. It can't be anything but a whole lotta fun ! Great going !
Definitely! A whole lot of fun hehe thanks dude
I love exploring Iceland, all the extremes in nature in one special place.
So true! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the amazing video! After several trips to Iceland I think it's time for the motos!
Yey super glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for your super thanks contribution! Mega appreciate your support ❤️ And yes it should definitely go on your to do list hehehe
This is awsome!!!!
Wow, thank you. So glad you enjoyed
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
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!
So cool you got to go through the Erso farm set area!
Wow, that was breath taking!!! Well done. Be Healthy Be Safe.
Thanks Barry
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
cool adventure, thanks for sharing it too
My pleasure
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! 🤙
WOW absolutely awesome. Merry Christmas Vanessa 👍
Thank you! You too Andy. Happy New Year
Awesome... this goes to my bucket list... genuinely happy for you
Yes!! Do to. You'll love it
Wonderful show , excellent effort on your part, excellent commentary , its so beautiful to see how the countryside seems so changable , glad your willing to keep going in the wet , its a huge deal and i would do it in a heart beat , thanks for sharing, norway is beautiful also , i was last year
Thanks dude, so appreciate that. It was certainly cold after that river dunk! hehe

Awesome trip. What a joy to ride wild.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Wayne
This looks like a proper adventure, Vanessa. The landscape looks amazing. Nice footage too!
Thanks Phil, it really was incredible
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!
Haha like it! Aw thank you. Love that you watched them backwards hehe thanks for taking the time to comment dude. Merry Christmas
@@TheGirlOnABike Thanks! Merry Christmas back atcha! Luv your videos!
Really awesome video! So nice to travel along vicariously on your adventures. Especially during these trying times, with all the restrictions on travel and lockdowns. Keep the videos coming 👍👍
Thank Thomas. That's so true, I hope we can all travel safely again soon. Big thanks for watching xx
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
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!!!
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!
Alex.... The drone videography is absolutely brilliant. 👏👏
Also a reminder why we MUST protect this beautiful, amazing planet of ours.🙏
Thank you 🙌
EXPECTACULAR !!! Paisajes, motos y video de lo mejor que he viso en youtube !!!
¡Wow gracias! ¡Es muy amable por tu parte! Gracias por ver
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!
Looks like so much fun!!! Great video
Thank you 🤗 I so want to go back! hehe
@@TheGirlOnABike I would love to make that trip
Really enjoyed this & part 1
Yey, thanks dude, that's so lovely to hear. Thanks for taking the time to tell me too
Wow!ice land is like a paradise!
I really was! Such a magical place
Truly amazing! So beautiful!
Aw thank you
Wow...amazing landscapes and fab place to ride. Great stuff 👏 👍 👌 Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve. It really was incredible
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
I love these shots, it looked like you had a fantastic time. We can't wait for travel to allow people to come visit in 2021 :)
Thank you! I really loved it, can't wait to come back! Come on covid!!! hehe 🏍
Amazing place, I need to get out more!
You should! It's unbelievable, mind blowing!
Amazing landscape and amazing riding.. how lucky are you 👍
Thank you 👍
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! 🤣👏🏼
I really enjoyed your video Vanessa. Nice work. What a spectacular country. I’ve been interested in going to Iceland for years. It’s going to happen soon. Greetings from 🇨🇦.
Amazing, you'll love it Sven. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment
How cool are you and your UA-cam channel??? Absolutely stunning this footage!!! Thanks for sharing:)
Thank you so much! Mega appreciate the pos vibes dude
Thank you !
You're welcome!
Amazing views and what a fantastic ride. That must be The dream destination for anyone on a dirt bike. I would probably take The ferry from Denmark to Iceland and bring my own bike because I live in Denmark. I really like your video it looks so nice when you drive on these dark volcano roads with black sand or stone. 145 kg and 70horse power must be great fun.😀
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
Impressive scenery and riding, especially through all the water crossings. Need to find a way to get there.
Thanks Paul. Do it! You'll love it!
That looks like an amazing trip
It really was, I so hope I can go back one day! hehe
such an amazing tour. unforgettable.
YES!! Such epic memories riding dude.
Wow...what a beautiful place....i love you guys safe ride always...from Pilipines....
Thanks! 😃
What for a invitation to iceland, thumbs up for this.

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
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 ❤️
Beautiful place exciting thrill riding
It really was, thanks for watching
Beautiful....

Look's fantastic, great video 👌
Thanks so much Jon
Incredible scenery 😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦
It was breath taking!
Молодцы, хорошая команда.
Спасибо
Awesome 🏆
Thanks 🤗
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.....
So beautiful👍
Thank you so much
Very nice
Thanks Peter
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!
viking life !!! wooow
hehe yes!!! More in part 2 video hehe
OK, now we’re showing the stuff, cool bananas. This young Lady’s “got sand”. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
haha thanks Bradley
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!!!
Show maravilhoso
aw yey, graci ❤️
Bit like parts of Lesotho 🇱🇸 endless space and wow views
❤️
Ok, I’m definitely going to ride in Iceland. If we are ever allowed to travel again. 🤷♂️
haha good point! Fingers crossed 😁
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.
Люблю горы. У нас на Алтае очень красиво.
Ух ты!. Это не так в англии
