Travel by Motorcycle in Poland (cost, distance, risk?) [47]
Hi there... Welcome to the forum fellow biker...
I am a Brit who has been living in Poland for the last five years , and for a lot of that time i have been riding my Harley sportster here...
I have also ridden the bike to Ukraine , and have traveled the route you are thinking of from Berlin to Bialostok tho on that route i went by Landrover....
There is no denying that Polish accident figures suggest that they are all suicidal nutters on the road , but my own experiance on a motorcycle here has given me far fewer heart stopping moments than i had in the UK... Maybe because there are fewer bikes here people tend to notice them more , and are less liable to run em off the road...
Some of the roads here are less than perfect , especially in towns where they can get badly rutted up due to heavy trucks , and the tram lines can be a bit tricky in the wet , but they are making lovely new roads all the time , and my last ride all the way accross Poland to the Ukraine was mostly a smooth trip . ..untill i got to Ukraine , but thats a different story....
I reckon you should get that bike sorted and head over here , you will love it... You can pass by my farm , have a few beers and a barbie , camp for free , then ride on to your destination the next day....
Poland is lovely , the people friendly , and there is no such thing as a no bikers sign on any place....
Come on over , and if you want any more advice , just pm me , and i will pass on my email address..... Ride safe...
