Off-road motorcycling through the heart of ICELAND - Part One - Ride With Locals The Girl On A Bike
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 гру 2020
- 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.
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

You and your gang have motivated me to get my license, finally. My daughters prefer watching this than the crap pumped out on UK TV. Thank you for this adventure. Ride on gal, we got one life...
Yey!! That's so cool! I love that!!
@@TheGirlOnABike by the way if you know any reputable crash course providers (training and licence over a 1 - 2 week period) let me know. I have found one company in Manchester, but would to know of others rom an expert. Cheers and all the best.
@@Harrym207 ah I'm sorry that makes me feel old. I did my test 13 years ago [didn't have a bike then until post accident but just got my licence for fun] so it's been a while since I've done that. I did a 4 day course near Portsmouth but I actually think the test process has changed since then too. lol. Showing my age! haha Sorry that is such a unhelpful reply!
@@TheGirlOnABike haha age is just a number. I'm 43, in the military 20 years ago i played with Harley Davidson 500 cc cross country, but i never showed interest to take the licence back then. Anyway, all the best to you and your closest. keep up with the good videos. Bye bye!
This is Death Stranding IRL
My thoughts too. I think Hideo must have got a lot of inspiration for the landscape from Iceland.
Oh yeah!! Good point
@@DarthScosha I believe it was mentioned, it’s absolutely beautiful
Thumbnail had me thinking that.
same
I've been to Iceland 3 times, but never on a motorbike. It's on my bucket list!
You'll love it! One magical way to see the place
I adore Iceland... if I thought I’d cope with the dark winters, I’d move there in a heartbeat. People, scenery and hospitality are all just marvellous! Inspired by your trip!
I know what you mean! A blink of light in winter must be so toughto cope with. I love the sun hehe
Arent the immigration laws really strict in Iceland?
@@Neonator08 AS THEY SHOULD BE - WISH UK WAS THE SAME , EVERY 3rd WORLD REJECT GETS IN HERE
@@SAXONWARLORD1000AD Oh i wasn't being racist like that. i just think its hard for anyone to get in there. I'm a Canadian born and bred and I doubt I'd get permanent status in Iceland either. Too bad as I'd definitely buy a summer home there :D
@@Neonator08 good question, I have no idea
Motorcycling in Iceland is actually on my bucket list
Really cool to actually see it
Yey! You'll absolutely love it dude!!
from what ive been told it very cool, like freezing cold cool,
This film gave me that immersive feeling I love from watching a good documentary. Thank you 😊
Wow thank you. That's a wonderful reaction ❤️
I hope my daughter can live an adventurous life like yours when she grows up (just 6) It's great to see a woman getting out there and enjoying the adventures of life on a motorbike.
My daughter is 4, I like to think we could do stuff together some day, if she’s interested that is. Even some travelling off the bike would be nice. Never gave myself the chance when I was younger
These are moments where I am happy that this is my country!
yey!! You live in a beautiful place!
Soundtrack, scenery, editing, WOW, What an amazing and inspiring video, well done!! Thank you for sharing, can't wait for part 2...Iceland bucket list added!! Stay safe!! 👍👍
Thank you very much! I love that you enjoyed it! Gosh I would go back tomorrow if I could [although December might be a bit dark and cold hehe] Thanks for watching
Wow! What an amazing trip. I so have to go to Iceland, yours and ItchyBoots’s trip earlier in the year looked to have been incredible
It's like not where else I've very seen or heard of! You'll love it dude 💖
Did the Ring Road in 9 days Oct 2020, such beautiful scenery, awesome roads and super quiet due to Covid. Great country.
oh wow, that sounds amazing
Awsome I live by Niagara Falls in canada ,but the water falls in ice land are very stunning ,what a great trip ,on the bucket list .Thanks.
Wow, beautiful! I hope you get to go to Iceland one day to see the falls there 🙂
This is one of the best videos I've seen from Icland on a motorcycle. Looking forward to part two. .Amazing
Wow, thanks! That's so cool to hear! Thank you

After being limited to riding a cbr600 in London for 2 years that does seem like so much fun, a very beautiful experience

Cool trip. Still on my bucket list.
One of the best land for ride even when is cold, windy and rainy... But I like it,just perfect and amazing.
Tanks for sharing such dream vid.
Hehe I so agree. The wet and cold is all just part of the fun! Wait until part two...it get wet 😳🤣
Went to Iceland and few years back and rented a 4x4 to explore since then I've always wanted to go back on two wheels!
Wow I bet that was awesome too! There is something pretty magical about doing it on a bike. I'd go back tomorrow if I could!
Same here brother
And expensive 😯
Looks like death stranding to me at 23:37 LOL
hehe a few have said that, I've had to google it hehe
.....when beauty of the nature comes along with your beauty the result is AWSOME
aw hehe thank you! Iceland is the big beauty! hehe
I went to Iceland in 2005 to celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary - but nothing like you guys. One day I'd like to return - and do what you guys have just done and hopefully are still doing.
oh amazing, that must have been lovely!
Que lugar increíble !!! Es hermoso este país 😍! Gracias por compartir, saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷
Foi realmente incrível. Obrigado por assistir! Oi da inglaterra
You're living the best life. Keep it up
As opposed to what? U only get one life so u cant compare it to anything, that statement is so dumb...
@Beserker Of Odin yeh but the whole "living your best life" line is what irks me, as the life you are living 'is' the best life and only life, u cant say im living my worst life. If you lived twice and the first one was shit THEN you can say you are living your best life, im going crosseyed thinking about it

Thanks dude. It's taken a horrid journey to get me here with the accident but I'm doing my best! See my channel for what I mean about the accident. It was pretty life changing. I'm determined to make the most of what I have now and lead the best life
@@NaturalSeaWave there is only one true lord. Raptor Jesus.
I loved Iceland. The natural scenery is simply breath-taking; the vast ice plains, glaciers, huge and I mean huge waterfalls. Never seen anything like it in my life.
I so agree! I was going wow around every corner hehe ❤️
Wow, I'm still flashed ... and jealous of your trip. Many thanks for sharing it. Keep going!

wow, this is just amazing. I was there in 2018 and spent 3 days and it was an absolutely incredible experience. Wish I could go back for at least a week or 10 days to explore the landscapes a bit more and feel the true essence of what Iceland is all about.
I know what you mean. It's the sort of place where you could have 3 months and still not see it all. Wonderful country ❤😘

I know someone who did this exact trip a few years back, they flew there and the group hired bikes, they said never again, they were cold and wet every day for 10 days, and it got harder every morning to get on the bike and when each day was over they sat in a hot tub for 3 hours,
Kool 👍
What all terrains Vanessa..!!, what all climates and views, geyser, glacier, water falls, volcano crater, and a swimming pool in the middle of nowhere..!! What an experience..!!! I am a viking.!!😆😆

Fantastic video. Not only is the videography outstanding, but your editing keeps me hooked the whole time. BTW- it hit me who you remind me of- that brilliant actress Phoebe Waller-Bridge! You could be her stunt/body double!
Wow, thank you. That's so lovely to hear! Wow I'm smiling, thank you. Oh Phoebe, I had to google her, that's the first time I've heard here. I normally get Kate Winslet or super car blondie haha
Hi, I came across your video and found it sensational. Beautiful places, good food and most importantly being able to share your experience with loyal motorcycle friends. Merry Christmas, Hugs. Greetings, Santiago - Chile
Thanks dude. So appreciate your support and time commenting. Thank you ❤️
