Outstanding drone footage. Because you're not yelling at the microphone, we can fully appreciate the nature sounds and the exhaust. Soft commentary works brilliantly, thank you!

For a Norwegian, Iceland suits you well. I have been to both Norway and Iceland and I think both countries are absolutely great for their natural beauty. The landscapes are phenomenal!! I am glad to be able to join you on this new adventure. I am really looking forward to the next episode. Ride safe and enjoy!!

I keep rewatching this video. Thanks to you and your solo motorcycle vids one of the biggest dreams is to tour northern europe on a motorcycle. One day!

[BradleySkaggsNYC]

I've done it twice and it really is the best way to tour Iceland. The F roads are amazing. Glad you are did this!

Think my heart grew a bit bigger at 13:59, very peaceful views, so calming. Thank you for that and good luck

[DeltadronesBr]

I've been there for 4 weeks and wasn't enough to know all wonders of the Country!

Keep smiling Runa it makes my day with you on your journey

[davida]

Thank you for taking me to Iceland this afternoon!

Laid up in bed recovering from surgery for the next three months, so I’m happy that I found your channel.

You’re very talented with making these videos! Excellent work!

[MojoUX]

Absolutely love your travels! The joy you exhibit, the sense of sharing the experience with is, and the great videos all make it so wonderful. Thanks!!

Scenery-wise, I have always found my native Iceland to be Norway's tiny brother, our main redeeming feature being that trees rarely get in the way of the view wherever you go. We are also "bigger" that our bigger cousin Norway when it comes to unreliable weather. I found your comments regarding the good weather forecast when you were riding away from Seyðisfjörður SOOO Nordic: Let's count our blessings only when we have actually seen the forecast come true!

Just discovered your channel Runa, after watching the 1st episode, I can truly say it's a breath of fresh air. So nice to see a stripped back natural flow of a motorcycle travel adventure, you made me & no doubt others feel we were there with you experiencing the splendour of the scenery. Looking forward to seeing more, well done. Daz.

Its always a pleasure to watch your video because you are always cheerful even in facing the unknown. Just admire your courage and resilient in solo adventures. I believe you are tougher than many guys out there. Be safe.

Take 10-15 psi out of your tires on loose surfaces. You will double, or triple, the contacyt patch. Just be sure to air up when you get back to asphault. A sharp turn, or manuver, can pull the tire's bead off the rim. Not a problem on dirt, only of stick ysurfaces.

12:15-13:20 YOU NAILED THAT TREACHEROUS GRAVEL ROAD RUNA

[Tigerfan]

Beginning of another amazing adventure. Thanks for taking all of us along.

[ayrtongun]

Thank you for sharing the breathtaking footage of Iceland's landscapes. It was such an enjoyable road to ride on with an adventure bike. It makes me crave being in the midst of nature. I look forward to more beautiful footage and adventure stories from you in the future.

[FlecheDeFer]

Did it once too. Have a fond memory of the salmon, very cheap, really good, that you can buy pretty much everywhere and that we ended up cooking pretty much every evening.

[dougm]

Some of us are living our adventures thru your travels.. Looking forward to more..

[dillonrobinson]

Beautiful. You your journeys and your bike x
