Great photos, it looks like you had a brilliant time. How did the bike hold up?
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

really well mate, no problems what so ever, only appeared under powered once and that was on a long steep climb where I started at the front and was over taken by everyone as the tiddler slowed on the climb, everywhere else it was very good and also got quite a lot of attention.
With a bag system (Mosko Moto) I bought of Mike 54 I could carry all I need I just chucked a Lomo on top, but I travel light in any case. It returned something like 70 to the gallon overall (thumbs)
I treated her to a new chain and sprockets and a service and a new MOT no advisories (thumbs) and she is hopefully off to the HISS soon and then a "Iceland" reunion the weekend after (thumbs)

it's done 3000 miles this year (thumbs)

seriously looking at booking a return trip to Iceland for next year

cheers Spud ;)

Iceland has been on the radar for some time and it is good to hear about your experiences.

It takes effort and willing to do it to post a report so thanks

Cheers Dude!
mate if it's on the list please just go, if you like different scenery it's the place to go to. The cheapest way to get there I've found is via Mark (thumbs) you can do the ferry but it takes a couple of days and you have to get to the ferry

cheers Spud ;)

Can you send me the contact details for mark the shipping guy

Cheers

Not actually true, if you contact samskip yourself personally you'll be surprised how much cheaper it will be.
