Yep...i will definatly be at home between those dates , although i don,t know what state i will be in on the 29th , as this is the day after our motorcycle clubs annual rally has ended..! for us , the organising club , its five days of hard work , hard drinking dancing and partying , sleeping does not get a look in..!

The rally is actually only three days , but we have quite a bit of work to do before it , and a lot to do afterwards to clean the place up...

I would be happy to have you stop by at my place . for as long as you want , and i can give you the rundown on the roads , cops and whatever in Ukraine...

I have not visited L,viv yet , but i stayed in Ternopil a while , and had nine wonderfull days in Kiev with my Russian girlfriend...its a great city...

I have sent you a personal message with my email and phone details on...

Hey, I can see this thread has been quiet for some time but I'm a Brit biker who will be going to Poland on tour next spring. Any advice will be gratefully received.

Put your thermals on... might be a bit chilly at night in the springtime...but you will love the Polish countryside , the total lack of no bikers signs , and the welcome you will get at every place , no matter how posh it is....

The beer is cheap and nice , the women pretty , and many of the rural roads deserted , its great biking country.....

Watch out though...crazy buggers drive on the wrong side of the road...

Hi there

We are a biker brotherhood from Denmark.
Every year we are going on a tour through different countries in Europe.
We call this tour Eurorun.

This year, we are planning to ride through Poland, and we would like to know if certain rules apply there, that we should be aware of.

We have vests on with centerpiece and MC.
Any rules here?

How is it to travel with tent and sleeping out in the open?

Thnx in advance

Hi Melvern Thnx! Really looks like a very special place there..., and also just like the right place for us to stay overnight! Unfortunately we are not going so far south. We will pass through northern Poland, and stop for a while in Szczecin... Does anybody know facilities like those Melvin offers in or around Szczecin? L&R Secretary

Hi there...

I have just created a new topic about our Eurorun 2011, but discovered this thread right after...

I have already had many of my questions answered by reading through the posts here, so that is just really nice... :o)

Now I'm actually looking forward to our tour this spring... Poland sounds like a good country for bikers! :o)

Hi Wildrover...

I would also be glad, if you would send me your e-mail adress...
Our tour is including Szczecin, not far from your place, and maybe you can tell us about facilities in that vicinity...?

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

Hi there , you will love it in Poland....

How safe are the bikes , well as safe as you make them , there are people in Poland who would be happy to steal your bike , just as they would in the UK if they got the chance.... and yes , they may take a fancy to your luggage if they think there may be something valuable in it....

There are plenty of places to camp in Poland , and if you are on a camp site your bikes and luggage will be much safer than if left in some place with not so many people about....

Wild camping in some places is not legal , but my experiance of it is....if you are not causing any damage , or setting fire to the forest with an out of control camp fire then the chances are that nobody will bother you...

There are people who patrol and take care of the forest , but they are very few in number , and you are not likely to bump into them unless somebody complains about you , not very likely...

A better idea may be to ask somebody with a small farm if you can camp on their land , this way , nobody can complain , and you may have access to water , or even get invited to a Polish breakfast....you can offer them a bit of cash for the camping , and your bikes will be much more secure on a farm...people do not usually wander onto people farms unless they live there...

How tolerent are the Police.... well i have been riding my Harley with illegal pipes on for over five years now , never had a problem , i have never been pulled for speeding here , but i got stopped about five times without my documents in my pocket , here you used to have to carry them on your person... Well , each time they pulled me they could have given me a hefty fine for not having them , they never fined me once.... Be polite to them , don,t give em a hard time , and you may well get off with a warning , unless you have done something really terrible...

If you see motorists coming the opposite way and flashing their lights at you , they are not just being friendly , they are telling you there is a radar trap ahead.....

Get yourself a book called.. ROUGH GUIDE TO POLAND , and when you cross into Poland get yourself a book called POLSKA ATLAS SAMOCHODOWY... with these two books you will have all the info you need to have a great tour of Poland....

safe riding.. have fun...

Oh , and you need your lights on all the time...its the law....for cars and bikes...

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

Stay out of Poland a$$holes,we don't need you here,your noisy bikes are ******* annoying and destroy natural enviroment. [youtube=http://youtu.be/lGZG2kx5vD8]

Many Poles like bikes too, grubas. Poland has countryside, you know!? ;)

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

Milonguero:

Well , considering you would only pay about 5 quid for a two man tent on a proper campsite , you don,t need to be waving large amounts of cash at Mr Polish farmer for pitching a tent in his field , many would be happy to let you stay for free , the Poles are very friendly people , and having guests from another country would be something they would enjoy...

You would be welcome to stay at my farm for free , but if all goes to plan i will be in Russia in August , i am selling my farm to a friend and moving to Moscow , mind you , he is a friendly biker so you could probably stay here anyway...

Zachodniopomorskie , the bit where i live would be a good starting point to begin your travels , its quite pretty , and i could put you in touch with some local Polish bikers that speak English to give you advice on good biking roads , places to stay , and great places to visit...

If you are in this area then Malbork castle is a must see , if you are into steam trains then there is a great place a bit further south that has them running a regular service...There are loads of historic battlefields , bunkers and stuff here , lovely lakes , and lots of fun activities...

i could also put you in touch with an English speaking bike mechanic and auto electrician in this area ...just in case you have any problems...

As i have said before in this thread , there are not any no bikers signs anywhere in Poland....

If you get that ROUGH GUIDE TO POLAND book well in advance of your trip , you can check out whats good to see in Poland and plan your route from it....

Hey Grubas....we are looking for some land for our next biker party.... do you have any space for 400 plus bikers and a music stage....?

Seanus:

I don't know about that but I hate these biker fags because I can't stand this ******* noise they make.I understand some people may like motorcycles but then they should get themselves electric ones or go some remote desert and ride their bikes there instead of making other people suffer.Now,if that will make bikers feel better I hate hot rod douchebags too for the same reason.

Have you heard some cars here, grubas? Not a pretty sound :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq4eeyVr_Hs, a song for you, grubas ;) ;) ;) The first part, in particular I like motorcycles and I feel that they are an integral part of culture. They also allow for freedom :) :)

May 26, 11, 15:45 #117

Which one of my Polish friends do you think are fags.....?

We are having a zlot on 22nd of June... you can come and tell them what you think of them....!

hello everyone, I'm glad to see there are many passionate bikers in Poland :)
effective beginning July, Warsaw riders will be +1, with me relocating to work here for some time.. I took it as an opportunity to change my old bike (FZ6-S2 2008), that I rode for 3.5 years, and look for a new one - most probably it will be a BMW :)
btw - if there are any people here somehow connected with BMW Motorrad dealers in Warsaw, I'm very interested to get in touch with you.. getting a special discount would be a good start for starting a new moto-life in Poland :)
on a personal note - I'm Russian, 35 years. like riding a bike and scuba-diving.

see you soon,

Artem

Where in Russia are you from....?

I am an English biker who has been living in Poland for five years...and i love biking here...

But soon i am leaving my quiet farm in Poland to move to the city of Moscow , so maybe i will be asking you some advice on biking in Russia...

I can,t offer you much advice on Warsaw , but i am sure somebody from that area can help you....

You will love it in Poland...
