Blue mountains in Iceland

[Kiddi J]

Hahaha the video on this page is hillarious.

Well i´ve personally not ridden the ring road yet, but my father did last may, and there was maybe 5 km of gravel road due to construction, But if u want to ride over the highlands, i´d suggest you´d come on a dual sport bike, a bimmer or somthing similar to the Bike Ewan McGregor rode on that ´´Long Way around´´. He must´ve been scared of Iceland because he did not come here and ride. I dont blame him there are Volcanos on every corner.

But my dad started his trip around the country on Friday and finished on Monday. There are many Hotels and Hostels on the road, i´d think on every 100km there is a place to stay. There are also various activitiesu can do on the way, such as a glacier trip on a snowmobile or a ATV. We also have trucks on 49´´ tires that go up to the top of the glaciers.
Ofcourse there are more roads than the ring road, and if people want they can take longer trip then 3-5 days.

I'd love to do that sometime although I've read that it's hard to find bikes for renting and the ferry from Scotland is very expensive.

Well, i dont think the ferry is that expensive. It is 356 eu for a person and a bike. Beats taking a trip and get fat on the beach in Mallorca.
But the rental is expensive as ****, if it hasn´t gone broke by now.

He He watched that vidio , and i wont be riding my bmw in that gravel,, had some of that in Norway on route to Nordcap they just happen to be re surfacing 5k of the road the only road up there 5mph for a hour +
still would love to do Iceland and i take it the price was return from Scrabster plus accomidation in Iceland not bad though for a bike hol , think i would stay on the black stuff though it would take me a day to Scrabster early start to get a ferry ..
snowing now all best ....John UK

Haha....
I dont blame u for not wanting to ride on the gravel... i think that kind of ridin needs ALOT of offroading experience. I certainly dont have that, my father has some from riding his Honda XL 350 way back in the 70´s (or least thats his exscuse from being a nutter )
But if u want to come here and ride, we can meet u in Seydisfjordur where the ferry docks in here in Iceland. That´ll be fun.
We rode with a guy from the USA last year, that was riding a ZX-12 around the globe (his website http://5pairs.blogspot.com ) Nice guy, Matt from Denver, CO
