Hello from Iceland
Forty year old from Iceland. I have owned three Intruders. 93 800, 2001 1400 and my current is a 1400 99.
Open pipes, 6" risers and a high tracker bar. Airboxes out and kn filters straight on carbs. Doing a complete loom upgrade with a m unit. Looking into making my own pipes and stripping the handlebar as much as I can.

Re: Hello from Iceland
Welcome to the board, I hope you hang around and improve the site with everything you have learned.
Is it true that you can't have guns up there? Even the police? What do you do when the polar bears get in your yard?

If you have any type of electrical issue, have your battery load tested before you do anything else. Any auto parts store will test it for free.

Re: Hello from Iceland
I learned that I needed a Hosting Site to give them a "presence" on the Internet.
I like not paying for that service, (who doesn't?) ..so I use Postimages.org. I upload them there,...they give me several "codes" for the different Sites on the Internet,...copy the appropriate Code for this Board,...and paste it here! viola!

It is!
You can tell that took quite a bit of time and creativity.

Re: Hello from Iceland
Welcome! VS1400 is a great bike ... I have one ... mostly stock except V&H slip ons and forward controls.
'92 with 4 speed gearbox.
I visited Iceland for a week in 1973. I always wanted to return ... maybe some day.

Welcome! My sons and their girlfriends vacationed in Iceland two years ago and they had a great time. They said the beer was the best they've ever had. They rented an apartment near a harbor in Reykjavik.

Amazing. My friend, who owns a brewery, and I made hobby motorcycleclub called Brew Boys.
We do an annual ride around Iceland and make special collaboration brew with other breweries. Amazing fun and we post everything on instagram. @brewboysrvk if you guys want to follow.
