We did it! Iceland in August 2017
Hello and have a good and safe trip over the land of ice and fire!
Impressive landscapes.
We surrounded the island's main road.
Tarmac? not always even on the main ring road.
Petrol: no problem but attention has to be paid, fill the tank whenever you can.
Outside the main road: on tracks the fuel consumption is higher do not rely only in distance/Km. All bikes drink by far more when riding condition are tough.
Credit card: simply a must. Most pretrol stations (outside the cities) are self service and do not accept cash. Only the pump and you there!
Wind: always there, either strong or very strong side winds at times. Care has to be paid but manageable.
Wheather: 2/4 - 16/18 celsius. Rain: almost every day.
Hotel/Guesthouses/campings: very expensive!
Food: very expensive.
Alcohol: unafordable!
Worth visiting: Definatelly YES!
Friendly people. Normally they all speak English at good level.
