And I find bikers much more considerate than many motorists. And they pollute less than SUVs etc

Thanks Wildrover

Info very useful. If we ask to stay on a farm land, what would be reasonable to offer as cash? Don't want to be mean but otoh we always end up spending more than our budget on holiday.

My son's coming from the North and me from the West. Thought we would meet up (what's a good starting point?) and then aim southward for the mountains. Estonia's pretty flat and he misses the fun of the hairpins. However, I'm sure there are some beautiful areas elsewhere, and towns/ historical sites. Anything we absolutely should not miss?

Cheers

Travel / Motorcycle tour of Poland [137]

Hi all,

Just joined the forum. Planning a trip to Poland, probably in August: I’ll be coming from UK, my son from Estonia, meeting in Poland – both with Transalps, mine a 700, his an older 650. We normally don’t plan too much, just follow the road & make it up as we go. However, I presume that there are must see places, must ride roads, can’t miss areas/scenery. Suggestions welcome.

Also, we mostly camp – how secure are bikes in Poland (mine’s alarmed & we could take a chain). Is theft from bike baggage a big risk? Are camp sites common/ secure/ facilities? What about wild camping? Tolerated? Safe?

How tolerant are the police? We don’t go mad but do we have to be looking at our speedos rather than the road?

Thanks for any tips
