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

never in Poland before, but planning to go by bike (from Ireland) for the Euro 2012 next June. Wildrover was the expert, according to old posts. If he's already gone to Moscow, can anyone give me advice on bike-friendly B&B's, getting to matches by bike, safe parking, any special concerns?

thanks

Thanks for the tips Guys.

Am in hte process of rounding up travelling companions. Glad to hear there isn't anti-biker attitude. Same can't be said for other places in Europe - some people have had really poor experiences after a long day riding.

We'll all know when the draw is made on 2 December what cities are hosting what teams - the Polish cities are Gdansk, Warsaw, Poznan and Wroclaw. a lot of chat here that there won't be enough rooms to go round for thousands of fans from all over, except in Warsaw - so the idea might be to stay in smaller town, like, a good distance away and bike in and out?

Have usually tried to stay away from motorways - in this part of the world anyway, I never thought it was fun doing hours on a motorway full of trucks, normally soaking wet, or maybe that's just in western Europe. The old Transalp has done very well on all sorts of back roads, but I think I'll be planning to keep to daylight, unless things go wrong.

I'll share whatever as plans develop.

Thanks Wildrover, appreciate it. - Will certainly get in touch with the club. I looked at the Gremuim site (pictures, sadly I can't understand the Polish). Looks really good. Look out for DMTC badges on your travels - Dublin Motorcycle Touring Club, and for connections if you're ever in this part of the world. You'll probably meet some if you are at the FIM Rally in Bydgoszcz in July next year.
