thinking about a solo motorcycle trip in iceland

I’ve been daydreaming about riding a motorcycle all the way around Iceland—just me, the open road, and those wild landscapes you see in travel magazines. The plan is to fly over, rent a bike, and take my time exploring, but honestly, I’m already feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’ve never rented a motorcycle abroad before, and the idea of figuring it all out in a place where the weather can change in a heartbeat is making me second-guess myself. Here’s the thing: I’m a woman in my 50s, and while I love a good adventure, I’m not sure I want to tackle this alone. I keep hearing stories about how unpredictable Iceland’s roads can be—one minute you’re cruising past waterfalls, the next you’re dodging sheep or dealing with sudden fog. I’ve looked into group tours, but most of them seem either way too expensive or way too fast-paced for my taste. Has anyone actually managed to find a group that’s welcoming to solo travelers, especially women? Or maybe you’ve rented a motorcycle in Iceland and have some tips on what to watch out for? I want to soak in the scenery, not spend my whole trip stressed out about logistics or safety. If you’ve been through this, I’d love to hear what worked (or didn’t) for you. Sometimes it feels like these trips are made for twenty-somethings, but I know I can’t be the only one in this age group itching for a little adventure, right? #IcelandTravel #SoloTravel #MotorcycleAdventure #Travel
