- Perfect timing to give you a cool breeze in the summer heat😉
I went for a solo motorcycle trip on my Harley-Davidson to Nordkapp in february. The northernmost part of Europe. There was not so much traffic on these desolate roads, one of the good things with winter riding😉
It was really cold some days and I was happy I choose to try out some heated clothes this winter. I had an electric heating vest that felt like a lifesaver in the coldest moments.
It was a really stunning trip with a magical winter landscape , sometimes cold, sometimes sunny, sometimes snowy and I got isolated in Honningsvåg a few days because of bad weather. All roads were closed.
Episode 1:
I started in Kiruna Sweden and went via Karesuando to Kautokeino, I passed 2 borders..Finland and Norway. Crashed 2 times and rode in 25-26 degrees below zero.

OMG...I've never ever seen anything like this on a harley. What a courageous person and not for the fair weather rider. I'm actually stunned to see riding like that.
Wow, riding in wintertime. Love to learn all the skill requires.
Wow, crazy, but I take my hat off to you for making such a journey.
Very impressive! Have to try that lol Good job
Amazing to make a journey riding a motorcycle in those extreme temperatures you must have courage by the bucket load definitely not for the faint hearted.
Damn, I just saw a quick Facebook reel of your ride. Unreal. Best of luck from Minnesota!!
OMG! You are insane to ride in that cold wheather!😮😮😂😂❤❤❤
😂👊
-26C while on a bike going 60km/h the Windchill Index is -45C. Here in Canada, we are encouraged to stay indoors at those temperatures as exposed skin can freeze in 5 to 10 minutes. Well done for making it there safe.
I have never ridden in snow (Malaysia is hot and wet throughout the year) but I can imagine it's more demanding than riding in heavy rain.
- temps are not too common in UK. My limit is +7 so a lot of respect to you. Enjoyed the video.
Ok so I feel a real need to comment on this video firstly you have my admiration in the video where you show the border of Finland and Sweden ; I’ve been there before and it’s stunningly beautiful you have more skill to ride this weather than anyone I know my respect to you !!! Now I’m off to subscribe and like this video then watch part two !!! Ps I’m from England and most people here stop riding in the winter lol not me but most do
Cool video - but - U r crazy!!! Be safe !!!
Very brave lady 👌
👍😉❤️🇫🇴🦋👻👻Brave womman 😉❤️🌻🌻🌻
You are totally nuts .. Total respect !!
2:26 that sound is ASMR material
schitterend!
Congrats on your ride. I’d like to know about the clothing you use. Having ridden in - 19c for a short ride fogging the helmet was my biggest challenge ✌️
I would like to try to ride from Finland to Sweden too...
Absolutely fascinating
Thanks for sharing!you are warrior on the road !waiting for the part 2
Thanks for watching! Nice!, I will try to post nr 2 whitin a few weeks
Awesome. Much respect! I ride through winter but only when the road is spanky clean and dry, and no snow. 🙂
My God! Amazing!
Lovely🙏
I used to cut up tin beer and pop cans and wire them around my air cooled Motorcycle engines to get them close to more proper operating temps.
I studded my tires with extra sharp hardened sheet metal screws made for motorcycle ice racing . They would be destroyed in a few miles on pavement. I actually wired 6" nylon Tow straps around my tires for moving my bike in my shop and putting it in a trailer to take to the lake to ride on the ice.
I hope you know you don't need to use Premium Gasoline in cold weather? My Buell has air scoops for the rear cylinder and an oil cooler with an air scoop. I taped the air Scoops shut and the cooling fan only turns on by a temp censor and the ECM.
My Buell Bogs and Sputters at +2 Celsius. My Yamaha FZ-07 being liquid cooled runs great at -2C and just has a lot more power in cold dense air and it runs rich .. thanks to the stock fuel tables in the ECM.
Well done. My compliments to the required skill & attire.
Wow!
Wow, your are awesome. Thanks for making this video. I like to ride in the cold but have never tried such extremes. Found this from Off She Goes and so glad. Best wished to you for safe and fun riding. You must have some Finnish Sisu!
Thanks for watching, I have to make the following episodes also. Aah from Runa, nice! Haha I don’t know what it is that makes me do this but some special force must be involved😄
Greetings from sportster club Moscow! Great bike and great adventure! Thanks for the video.
Heeey!
So happy you like it! Both the video and ”Little Johnny” (my bike)
@@bikerida_ I always watch your videos with interest. Very impressive and inspiring for my small victories and travels. We have motorcyclists who don't ride even in the rain. And it would seem that you have such a motorcycle that, according to all the canons, is not intended for such conditions, snow, frost, but my God, what a beauty all around, and driving a Harley it becomes even more beautiful. Share new videos, thanks!
@@nameddinrus У нас зимой по России народ тоже катается между городами на мото. Всё в ваших руках.
@@alt896 да понятно, что есть единичные случаи) я больше про кругосветчиков, которые на свои гуси навешали кофров и за мкад не выезжают)) тут уж кому как больше нравится кататься, главное чтобы в кайф
Fränt😅
Du är en hårding!
Great video , hi from the UK 👏👏🤙🏍
Respect xxx
Awesome job! Greetings from Slovakia!
Thank you so much! Oh Slovakia, a country I plan to visit some time
Please post more to youtube. I don't have IG and these few videos are fascinating!
Happy to hear! Thanks!
Good that you say this, I have to/want to put more attention to this channel..I have lits of material for more videos and there is at least 2 more episodes to put together from this trip..🙏
I don't mind riding in the winter but this is extreme, well done (From Scotland)
Nice that you also see the beauty in it.. but Yeah this was a really cold trip😄
You and me both brother I’m England and the last few days hve been chilly still riding in -2 but only saw one other person out today was beautiful with the ice tipped fields and trees I bet it’s cold your way now though isn’t it
@@moonmonkey9595 Aye it's minus all the time now, roads icy as hell, hoping to get out tomorrow and got a camping weekend in a couple of weeks, need to keep the skills and insanity up. Much prefer the heat but why give up my lifestyle because of nature!
Looks awesome Ida 😊how does it feel riding the bike with studded tyres on ?
Hardcore maximum! Awesome
Wow! I am impressed and I like very much what you show us! I found your channel after Runa @OffSheGoesADV reported to have met with you in Sweden. Love you girls! ✌️🏍️
Fell off my chair when you said its minus 16 and a bit warmer. I live in Toronto- so cold temperatures aren't alien to me, but riding a motorcycle in these crazy temperatures and factoring in the windchill- you're an absolute Viking on a motorcycle. So glad to have stumbled upon your channel. Will binge watch all your videos soon. Please take care and ride safe.
What kind of studs are you using? I just bought two studded tires for my 4 wheel drive pickup to pull my snowmobile trailer to Northen Michigan where snow does stay on the ground and they do allow hard packed snow to build up on the roads for snowmobiles.
My sheet metal screws really bite on hard packed snows.. I can do wheelies with ease. The don't grip so good on cold hard ice.
It more fun to ride on the Lake on an overcast day that is above 0 degrees C so the ice is softer and the screws will bite into the ice. If it's sunny and above freezing then the ice is too soft .
I just finished watching Runa's latest episode from Sweden and somehow came upon your video. Wow! You are another amazing female adventure rider on my list of riders to watch. I have liked and subscribed. I look forward to seeing what glacier you will ride on next. LOL. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't laugh. I get the impression you likely would do that. Please give us some information re: your tires. Ride safe and stay upright.
Езжу зимой мотоцикле Урал с боковым прицепом, как показала практика, без бокового прицепа ездить зимой на много тяжелее на любом мото. Удачи в дороге ;)
When I was a younger I did a trip to next city 35km on a 50cc mopped in a -36c weather.
But still you are pretty insane.
That is cooooold to ride in!
Your a braver rider than me!
Fantastisk film! Inspirerande! Själv kör jag också på vintern på Gotland
Tack! Ja men va fint å köra där på vintern, inte så smockat med turister
uff. awe inspiring. Seems to be really dangerous to drive on potentially slippery ice. Those spiked tires are all that it takes to keep the grip on the roads?
Det var modigt det. Bra jobbat.
I was riding my Buell in the Middle of the Summer, I made a U-turn to go back and move a turtle off from the road. When I went to put my kickstand down it just fell off. I leaned my bike up against a road sign. I put my helmet on the ground so it would not fall off from the seat. A Truck Driver stopped and told some Adventure Bike Riders that I was in "Distress" I didn't even know it, but was told that putting your Helmet on the ground means you are in Distress. The Adventure bike riders came to check on me and I thanked them.
I continued my Journey to Mt Bohemia a Ski resort and to Copper Harbor and the very Northern Upper Peninsula in MI . On my return Trip I stopped at a Hardware Store and got a 5/8" bolt some washers and a Nylock nut. The special Buell Bolt for the kick stand is nice but I made do with a common bolt.
When I got home I drilled a Hole in the Nylon Lock nut because it was too close to the muffler which would melt the plastic and I put stainless steel safety wire through the nut and bolt. Also I put lots of grease on all the parts before assembly.
My best Motorcycle Winter clothes are not very warm. I have heated grips and a heated Vest. My snowmobile suit is much warmer. Where I live in Southern Michigan USA the snow does not last long on the ground and if it does snow they spread salt and liquid chloride on the roads. This melts the snow and covers your bike in highly corrosive Minerals.
Where can i find a video where you talk about your bike?
I woulf like to learn as much as possible since i want to ride my bike all year round as well
But what type of tyres do you use?
Shalom! Hello - what happened? Where ya riding now....what´s up? Blessing: =)
Härligt galen🙃
Haha jo så är det kanske😆👊
Wow !! You are a bad ass rider. I get staying warm with the electric underwear but how do you maintain traction? I used to ride in freezing temps. In Colorado, on the plains, there's little snow, but I would never think of riding on snow covered roads. Are your tires studded for extra traction? Thanks for sharing. Cheers!!
🙏
I have studded tyres so it is ok traction.. if it is a lot of fresh snow or soft it is not so good. I would not ride whitout studs on wintertrips.
Thanks for watching!!
What brand of tires do you use? And what type of studs?
what bran of tires you use?
I just wonder what kind of tire you use?
Joones Adventures MC recommended you to me to see how you ride freezing and I ride sweating in okeechobee florida. Sorry, Too much music. I hate music videos. Just natural sounds and talking. A little softe music is ok from time to time. But it is makes me insane and I'm not muting the audio to watch you freeze. In any event..........your crazy. 😁😁😁😁 and on a harley to boot. If you break down you will freeze to death. I don't think my 94 Honda Goldwing 1500 would like that cold weather either. It loves the boiling heat from south florida and me always wearing my short sleeve T-shirts and BDU shorts. Good luck. bye. 🙂
Yeah I'm a winter rider.
*watches this video*
No I'm not.
Hello mark which song is the one playing in 3.00 minutes of the video? @bikerida_
