While the spare parts for Bumblebee are on their way we were invited by our German friends to join them for a week on Mallorca. Flying to Palma I joined Marc who rode all the way to Mallorca together with Volker on their GS bikes. Leaving Germany in the pouring rain I arrived at a…

Bumblebee break down
Some disadvantages have advantages. While Ophelia brings heavy storm to Ireland the Netherlands are experiencing some of the warmest Autumn days ever on the other site of the Channel. We decided to make use of this beautiful sunny Sunday and take Bumblebee and Megatron for a tour partly around the north of the IJsselmeer which…
Escaping Autumn in France
Since we did not have a great summer and Iceland is not really the summer destination on earth, the three of us decided to hit the road to France to catch some sun. For the first time we used a motortrailer which is very practical if you haven’t got a lot of time and want…
4×10 motorvrouwen aan het woord (3/4)
Ik stelde 40 motorvrouwen de volgende vragen: Hoe oud was je toen je je motorrijbewijs hebt gehaald? Waarom ben je motor gaan rijden? Wat is het leukste aan motorrijden? Wat is je mooiste motormoment? Wat is je favoriete road nummer? Wat is de beste tip die je hebt (motor, rijden, kleding, accessoires etc)? In vier…
Last miles to Reykjavik
From Holmavik we drove to West where we stayed at a lake named Skorradalsvatn in a very nice Airbnb. Before arriving we climbed the Grabrok crater which is next to the ring road. Next day we made a little tour in the area of the lake. Riding back to Reykjavik we handed in our motorcycles and explored…
The end of the world
From Akureyri we rode to Holmavik. A small place in the Westfjords. It is a long and scenic ride with large parts unpaved roads. Fortunately the weather was good. But it feels like the end of the world. Lots of people moved out of the Westfjords and not a lot of tourists visit but it…
Whale watching
Entering Akureyri the heart shaped red traffic lights caught my attention. Installed during the crisis to keep up the positive thinking I read later on. Basically everywhere in Iceland there is wifi in bars, restaurants, big supermarkets (Netto, Bonus and Hagkaup) and in the Airbnb’s we rented. After a day rest we decided to go…
Alien landscape
From Egilsstadir to Akureyri is a very special ride. It is like riding through an alien landscape. Winding roads that take you through magnificent valleys with volcanic rocks, mountains and striking light fall over the landscape. Around every corner you get jawbreaking surprises. We did a small detour to visit the Dettifoss waterfalls which is…
From South to North; fjords
From Höfn we drove north along various fjords to Egilsstadir. Dramatic landscapes but a lot of strong wind. Gusts of wind bashing in to you after rounding fjords is tricky to ride. Just before we arrived in Egilsstadir we drove through a 6 km tunnel. Which was welcome to warm up because temperature gets pretty…
On the move
We are five days on the move now and what a ride! The landscape is changing all the time from a moon landscape to fields with purple flowers to fairy tale like waterfalls and glaciers. Day 1 we drove the Golden circle which is very touristic but worth doing. Day 2 we headed south to…
