This is a trip my wife and I made up to the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia in 2017 on my BMW F650GS (“Scarlet”).
I am getting so stir crazy from the continued lockdowns, quarantine and now several feet of snow that I’m pining to get back on the open road and let loose. I really miss riding my motorbike. Currently we’re not allowed to leave the borough.
The last time I went up to the Tatra Mountains by bike was the end-of-season event for East Slovak Motorcycle Clubs in 2019, to the village of Ždiar. The ride back was one of the worst I’ve experienced as we had torrential rain and hurricane winds for several hours on the single lane, yet busy, roads that cross the north of the country from west to east.
I recorded this footage on a Dazzne P2 adventure camera. I’ve since upgraded to an Apeman because of condensation issues, but I haven’t tried it out on the bike yet.
If, like me, you’re locked down and are sick of four walls, then just sit back and enjoy the ride.
