History / Weapons of WWII (Poland and other countries) [239]

Tommy cookers

And the allies called em the ronson....sure to light first time.....The biggest problem with the sherman was that the stowed ammo was not well protected , so any round penetrating the tank would invariably set the ammo on fire....

Law / CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]

Do not exaggerate the problem

Well i thought i was just stating a fact...no exageration , honest...The sandwich box i bought in the UK is made of Tough polythene , after five or more years of hard use its still in perect condition...The one i bought in Poland is made of brittle plastic , and after being used a couple of times it just fractured and fell to bits...these are the facts , i have not added anything to the story to make it more exiting...Its just another example of goods made cheaply that fail to do the job they were bought for...

Law / CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]

I agree completely....the reason the Chinese produce these goods that are , lets say ,, less than perfect...is because people , such as Polish people want to buy them...I myself would prefer to pay a little more for something that will last a little longer...

Last week i bought some sandwich boxes to put my food in for work....i used them three times before they fell to pieces...so...i went looking for my old sandwhich box , made in the UK....its five years old , but still in good condition....Can you guess where the ones that fell to bits after two weeks were made....?

Law / CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]

Have you every bought any Chinese tools???

No...and i don,t intend to....I don,t want this to turn into an anti Chinese thread , but the fact is , Chinese goods are cheaper because they are made by unskilled labour , using cheap materials , so the finished product is not the same quality as say a Japanese one....

Take for example the Chinese made scooters that seem popular in Poland , ok , they are cheaper to buy than the Japanese version , but within a year they are in need of repair....forget taking it back to the dealer you bought it from , they won,t have any spare parts , and if you do manage to repair it , the problem will be back soon after... No decent mechanic wants to do any work on one , as the client will soon be back , complaining its broken again....

Much better to pay a bit extra for a second hand Japanese machine that will last you five years without problem , spares are available from any dealer that sells them , and mechanics are happy to work on them.....

I am begining to think some Poles would buy dogshit if it was a bargain price....! Last week i was looking around a toyshop in Koszalin , every single toy i looked at was made in China , surely they are people in Poland with money who want to pay a bit extra for toys that won,t fall to bits within a week , or poisen their kids.....??

Law / CHINESE TO BUILD POLISH ROADS.... [92]

I see on the news that the Chinese have won a contract to build roads around Warsaw by offering to build them at a very much lower cost.....Are these roads going to be of good quality i wonder , or are they going to need expensive repairs not long after construction...?

Many people in Poland seem quite happy to buy rubbish , so long as its cheap...are they making this mistake with these roads..?

The Chinese company have said they will employ Polish workers to build these roads , but its suspected by many , that they will ship in cheap unskilled Chinese workers to do the job....

Life / Is it me or do any guys in Poland not have shaved heads? [113]

thebear45 Today, 06:40

Have a look on a gay site and see what bear means.....it seems it is the term for a gay man who is bearded and hairy and on the big size......Most of them don,t go around accusing others of being gay in order to cover up their sexuality though......

Travel / Motorcycle tour of Poland [137]

Ha..not sure i am quite a star yet , but i do have a contract , and i get paid for the filming , so i guess i can say i am a professional actor.... The people doing the filming suggested i should go to acting school , but i doubt i will take it that far....

I guess the reason bikers tend to help each other out so much is due to the feeling that we have to take care of our own , but i have to say on my travels i have been shown kindness by all manner of people , not only bikers...

I will be more than happy to have a beer or three with you should you pass this way....

Travel / Motorcycle tour of Poland [137]

around your area on the 5th or 6th

I would be glad to help out my friend , and could certainly find you a comfortable place to rest your head...

There are a few decent places around the town of Polczyn zrdoj which is close to me , so i can check them out and let you know prices and contact details...

I might be able to find you a place here in my home , ie , not camping , but it depends on the dates.. I have a film crew decending on me around the 8th of july , so will have a house full , and on the 11th of july there is a biker barbecue here at the farm which is going to be part of the film they are making...

You must tell me all about getting a visa for your Russian lady , as i will have to go through this process for a Ukrainian friend who wants to visit me , she thinks that she needs to be invited to Poland by some official body in order to get a visa....

Anyways , good luck with your trip , i have sent you a personal message on the forum with my email address on if you need to ask anything... safe riding...

Life / Internet without TPSA (The Telecommunication of Poland Corporation) [11]

TPSA are a bunch of incompetant bandits in my opinion.....They charged me loads of money for an internet connection , and when i finally got tired of paying the same bill several times over i cancelled them out of my life...

Long after i no longer had a telephone they continued to send me bills , which i paid , untill they finally assured me all was paid...

Now some four years after i no longer had a phone some other company which it seems has bought a small debt that TPSA say still exists is chasing me for this money , plus of course a large lump added on to line their pockets....The Energa company isnt much better......!

Travel / Travel by Motorcycle in Poland (cost, distance, risk?) [47]

BSA T-Bolt.

Ah that brings back memories....i had one of those for a while , not so much restored tho , mine was a ratty old heap , but i went many a mile on it.....It was almost responsible for burning down a Police station....after a leaking fuel tank exploded while trying to start it oh happy days.....

Just remembered...the Harley hire place was called Eurotours , and they hire out Harleys at 120 euro per day....

Travel / 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...

but if you don't know about mushrooms

Agreed....take a local expert with you , many of the deadly mushrooms look very similar to ones you can eat if not 100% sure for gods sake don,t eat em...

I have found that an expert is anyone Polish over the age of seven , it seems that even town dwellers know all about mushrooms , they are way ahead of us Brits on that score....
