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

find a nearby secure parking area. daytime should be safe enough.

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

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?
