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?
Hi there...sorry for the long delay in replying , been up to my neck in packing and sorting stuff ready for a move to Russia....
If you read all the previous posts about biking in Poland , you will get a pretty good idea what its all about... Don,t worry about looking for a biker friendly b&b , you will be welcome at any place that has room , they don,t have any no bikers signs in Poland , the fact that you turn up on a bike will make no difference to most Poles , and they will make you welcome...
I am afraid i have no idea about getting to the matches by bike , i don,t even know where the matches are being played , other than that some of them are in Kiev in Ukraine.... If you let us know which matches you are going to somebody can advise you on how to get there....
Safe parking...? I am afraid that Poland has thieves , just as any other country in the world , and if you leave your bike iparked in the wrong place , it can go missing.... Most decent sized towns have a guarded car park which you will pay a little money for , your bike will be quite safe there... It might be a good idea to get in contact with any motorcycle clubs near to where you are going , they will be happy to meet you , talk about bikes , advise you on the area , and as a bonus you will probably get a few beers thrown in , and probably a place to stay....
If there is anything else you need to know , send me a pm , and i will give you my email address....or just shout out here....somebody will answer....
