Iceland

I have been planning to do this trip for a while. and I wanted to use my XT225 for exploring the Highlands. A week before the trip, I decided to replace the rear tire on the bike. When I took the old one off, I discovered the wheel was badly corroded, I did have a picture, but the scumbags at photobucket want to charge me 400 dollars to view it!

After a bit of a bodge, the bike was ready to go on the back of the car to Immingham, ready to be shipped to Iceland. I flew out there to meet it, although I had to wait a day for Customs to clear it, so I stayed in the "Galaxy Pod Hostel

which was a bit of an unusual experience

When the bike eventually cleared, I rode out to Thingvelir

Then I went to Geysir and got a shot of Strokkur going off

Next on the list was Gullfoss

Then away from civilisation on the Kjolur Route across the Highlands

I then found a nice remote wild campsite 11km down an unnamed track

Then more travelling along the Kjoler route

Its great being in the middle of nowhere on a 26 year old motorcycle

where the road stretches as far as the eye can see
