Adventure Bike Rider

We headed towards the Hortobágy. During my travels I usually stay in hidden places for the night. So I've been longing to do something like this in the middle of the wilderness.

So far, this bike has been the fastest to get used to. It is the set-up that is most optimal for the longer rides that I use the bike for most. Make it tall but narrow. I should be able to sit on it with my back straight, my limbs stretched out and, if necessary, ride it standing up off-road.

If anyone is more seriously interested in what a longer adventure motorcycle tour can bring and what lessons can be learned from it, Zoli's report is definitely worth reading! I couldn't have summed it up better myself.

Elemér is the tougher kind of adventure biker. He and his companions also regularly go on winter rides. The last time we had the opportunity to meet was at a winter motorcycle meeting (Wolfentreffen) in Poland at the beginning of the year at the height of Zakopane.
