I mean, its not that difficult. If you can ride a motorbike, im sure you can figure out how to drive stick.
A couple years ago we rented a standard transmission car in Italy, I hadn't driven stick in ages. The first day was interesting. I was stopped at a light on an decent uphill incline, with some dude behind us. When the light turned green, I proceeded to stall the car 3 times, before I got that sucker going. Bless the patient Italian behind us for not losing his ####.
It did take a couple days to get fully comfortable. The most challenging is city driving, figuring out appropriate gears for speeds etc.
To me, if you're in Iceland. May as well just give it a shot. Adds to the adventure.
