I am considering a trip from The Harz in Germany to Poland on my BMW Cruiser and wonder about service/repair support if I happen to have an event. Your comments would be useful. rgds ken bishop.

BMW bikes are quite popular in Poland , and there are a few dealers about too....

In some areas you may not be able to get the parts off the shelf , but for sure somebody will get them the next day for you....

I wouldn,t worry too much about being stranded in Poland waiting for bits... You will be fine...

Any Intercars shop should be able to get the vast majority of BMW parts by the next morning.

Is motorcycle theft a problem in Poland? I am moving there in May 2012 and plan on getting a Ducati. It will be parked road side as I will live in an apartment.

Thoughts?

buy two or even three big chains and use the trees and electricity posts

[Moved from]: Biking from UK to Krakow, any tips on route, places to stay along the way

Am planning a journey to visit the Auchwitz camps in May, will be about 6 to 8 motorcycles with 10 people. Any hints or tips with regard to places to stay on route, where to stay that's bike friendly in Krakow, ie; can we park the bikes safely.

Much appreciated

would have been quicker without the shortcut through the rynek area.

As my wife always says, "na skróty potrzeba czasu". Ya need time for shortcuts.

i've emailed the germium mc contact on their website and not gotten a response, anyone else able to get through?

Looks like I'm on a long term assignment to Wroclaw starting next year and all your help is appreciated.

my question: "is it possible to lease (long term), or rent (short term), motorcycles in Poland"?

my company will lease a car / housing but not motorcycle *sigh*

Thanks,
J

useful post #3.
please see my blog at www(dot)milesbeyondordinary(dot)blogspot(dot)com and for you adventure riders, i'm an inmate at ADVRIDER too.
I'm trying to feed my habit of motorcycling where-ever I am.
That's why I'm trying to sort this out before the big move.

By the way, wildrover, have you made the big move to Moscow?
