EICMA 2018!! And the winner is..... Africa Twin RD07 Boano Rally.. (last picture) , the bike is 25 year old but still a much better bike overall than all modern competitors!! Such a good work #boano !!! Yamaha T7 seems a joke, KTM 790 is the least attractive ktm ever, specs looks good though, Honda CRF450L has to be upgraded to rally to be on the list and same applies to KTM 690 enduro .. i think i am still pretty good with my old Africa Twin RD03. Ktm450rally and honda450 rally are not on my list.. those are beasts #africatwin750 #ktm790adventure #yamahat7 #hondacrf450l #ktm690adventure #eicma2018 #ktm450rallyorgams (presso Eicma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp7QeRQHo0M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j1m0jowhhdj5

Home sweet home! The trip has come to an end, it was blast. 26’055km ridden!! It is hard to not feel nausea 🤢 unless on the bike, missing already so much the “on the road” lifestyle. Missing the wind in my face and body, missing the freedom feeling, feels strange to stay somewhere without any plan to leave soon... I have to say, I was not prepared to faca my emotions once arrived. I have seen so many different things, people, culture and landscapes. The only was to feel better is start planning another trip. I have already cleaned the bike as much as I could and started to make it “legal” for Switzerland. My helmet has some sort of graphics now, thanks to all insects smashing into it. Details of my consumed rear braking pads (Brembo) and my final destination for my sweet travel companion. Feels strange but nice to start having feelings for a bike. #mybelovedone #loveforyou #myafricatwinisawsome #lugano #ticino #backhome #wanderlust #illoveyou #showyourtits @mmdadventures @enduristan @klim #xrv650 #hondaracing #hrc #africatwin #mmdadventures #klimmotorcycle #enduristan #adventuremotorcycle #advmoto #acerbis #ruggedroad #hyperpro#didchain #mitas #garmin #airoh #brembo #sidi #gulagtech #motolife #twowheels #instamoto #bikeporn (presso Lugano, Switzerland) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCEuc4A2S7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1afoh6ssoptnm

Day 94 - Poland That is finally #Poland. Without any plan, I drove from #gdansk till #szczecin following some random routes, it took a whole day but I discovered amazing places. I have just given a destination to my #garmin #garminmontana choosing to follow the shortest path, and voilá, off-road everywhere, much better than #transeurotrail 🇵🇱. Soon heading home through Germany. My trip is about to end, happy and sad at the same time. Mixed feelings. That’s the right emotions to go home! @mmdadventures @enduristan @klim #xrv650 #hondaracing #hrc #africatwin #mmdadventures #klimmotorcycle #enduristan #adventuremotorcycle #advmoto #acerbis #ruggedroad #hyperpro#didchain #mitas #garmin #airoh #brembo #sidi #gulagtech #motolife #twowheels #instamoto #bikeporn (presso Szczecin, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9MpjeAcge/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=888dnxj3ne9u

Day 93: TET POLAND (direction west part 2) What a disappointment!! You can see by yourself, it is mostly asphalt, what is that? Form the Lithuanian border i drove 30km to reach the trail starting point, I was exited by the nearly 850km trail ahead of me. But after a while I realised something was wrong.. at the end I rode 280km and I counted: 19% off-road only. I don’t know if there is a problem with my navigator or something else. The trail had totally no sense and purpose, it was boring nothing nice to see and the only off-road parts were very ugly, either sand (why sand after only asphalt) or bouncing roads with holes or stones (nice to see but ugly to ride). So my conclusion is that the trail was drown in the map only. Seems like there is no sense in what I was following. The asphalt road was sometimes going through nice fields and landscapes, but very often into villages or small town, with traffic. What the hell. Plus I saw many trails nearby, which were going in the same direction. I actually went by myself into those trails I was able to spot in the navigator and they were good!! So if it were not for the few sandy roads I would say the “trail” was made for a conventional road motorbike, optimised for a GS1200 for example, which excels on those roads, fast and full of turns. Poland is mainly flat with lakes and rivers, some hills alternating forest and fileds. The few forest were mainly central european type. The landscape was a mix between France (with threes along both sides of the road) and Lithuania. I skippes all the rest of the trail and went in #gdansk for the night. I said: Tomorrow I will pick myself the trails” and the results was much better.

Day 92 - TET Lithuania (direction south) The day started very well, after a good sleep and breakfast at #twowheelshotel (thank you Mārtiņš), they let me keep my motorbike safely parked in their garage while I was in Moscow, and even cleaned my clothing!! What a great staff, I totally recommend this place. I decided to skip the missing part of the Latvian TET to try the Lithuanian one (time issue here, or priority settings). It was good for the first hour but after a while i god bored, it was all the same, very easy gravel road in open space, a lot of 90 degrees turns. I felt like i was the Snake or Pacman in the famous game and the Lithuanian Linesman the gamer. He did very well choosing only off-road and avoiding asphalt but it was too much the same all the time. After 250km I gave up and rode direction Poland TET hoping for the best. The way the trail is made i was constantly on acceleration and braking for the many square turns, and therefore I reached a very low milage, about 12.8km/l. It was fast and fun at the beginning but after a while o felt I was loosing my time. Sorry #tetlithuania. Good landscape and again very pleasant nature, less forest and more fields, bit still very nice. The forest here resembles much more central european one. Interesting the houses looks all the same, small and looking much worst than the Estonian one. It really seems like this country is either poorer or less interested in mice things. @mmdadventures @enduristan @klim #xrv650 #hondaracing #hrc #africatwin #mmdadventures #klimmotorcycle #enduristan #adventuremotorcycle #advmoto #lithuania #transeurotrail #acerbis #ruggedroad #hyperpro#didchain #mitas #garmin #airoh #brembo #sidi #gulagtech #motolife #twowheels #instamoto #bikeporn (presso Lithuania) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn1yiHqgIbn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n51xnu2kinvl

Day 83- TET Latvia part 1 (Direction south). The border is just noticeable by a sign in the middle of the forest, what a beauty Europe! The #transeurotrail Latvia, from border to Riga was more diverse and technical, not difficult but more interesting for sure. Faster gravel roads, with a lot of elegant corners, while in Estonia it was mostly 90degree turns. In addition it offers some slow single trail parts (just a few) The forest is less Scandinavia style, i saw much less of this beautiful forest landscape characterised by Scots #pine and Norway #bruce (46% according to ypef.eu) the rest is central european type (28% #birch stands and others). Approaching Riga the sands started to kick in and the fun also, very slippery for my shinko tyres and in some part of the trail the sand was really too much so I had to accept defeat. I covered this part in an easy afternoon after spending the morning finishing the Estonia TET. It’s good to be on a Friday evening in a beautiful city like Riga.
