3 x KTM GO EAST

i was wondering what you guys were wearing for riding gear? i like the jackets and pants. could you give me some info about them and where i could find prices and possibly order them. thanks dude, also this is one of the best rides ive seen in a while!!!

thx,
its MX / Enduro stuff;
the blue jacket (Safran and me) is a Fox Racing 360 Jacket;
my (like jeens) pants: Thore MX Core Denim pants
Safran pants: Fox Racing 360 pants

MX stuff is quite cheap, specially in US; you can find it everywhere for example gmo1.com

wow, that is awesome! Congratulations Maciek! I know that Motosiberia is the latest and getting a lot of the attention but I must admit that I enjoyed Motoafrika as much!

You deserve and the boys deserve the success. Best wishes!

how did they work? are they warmer or cooler? or does it matter on the brand and venting? also are most of them water proof?

thx

They work very well for me. We had the temp range from +50 Celsius to -10 Celsius. So the MX stuff is very light, breathable. Its completly not water proof. So you must like having water on the wee-wee or use other layers like 100% waterproof plastic pants/jacket (have a look at MX water proof jackets) and when its cold windstopper underware;

Feh. Long suspected MotoSyberia was the bastard lovechild of Mondo Enduro and Jupiters Travels. You carry the baton well, guys.

haha gotcha, completly not water proof. damn...
thanks though, i still think these things are a great choice. plus you look cool too!

I loved your report. I read it twice, yesterday and today. Congratulations on taking your penises through Siberia and back.
I'm truly grateful for all the pix, and you gave me something to dream about (not your penis). Thanks for showing how simple this really is: all you need is a good bike, the right buddies, and TESTICULAR FORTITUDE! The hard part is coming home, like you said.
I lived in Poznan for 5 years, some day I would like to move back permanently because Poland is the best starting point for endless awesome adventure rides!
Do you know any places in your area that rent bikes (just for 1-2 weeks touring, not hardcore)?
Speaking of hardcore you promised to show a picture of your penis in Chukotka...

I've watched and the DVD ... more than 100 times.... stunning!!!

Thx Wihar, great you have enjoyed it

Thx MikeV! Yes we are very lucky in Poland to have a lot of cool places not far from home. The beautifull Ukraine, Romania is just behind the door and the Caucas is just few days away. Renting bikes is not very popular and I know of only one bike renting place:

If you could have some more time like 4 weeks maybe it would be better to buy an old bike like Yamha Tenere for 1500Euro, ride arround Poland/Ukraine/Romania and sell it without much lost.

Sounds great!
When looking for a used bike, is there a web site you would recommend, or would it be better to look in local newspapers once I arrive?
Thanks again!

Mike, send me an email to motopig at gmail.com

Did all the pics go on this thread of the trip and bikes and such? They seem to have disappeared.

hi, photos back again; my current hosting sucks;

You need SmugMug. Use code UUpX3xBAOscAg for a discount...














(btw, this thread still rocks)

Is it just my browser, or are the majority of the photos in teh middle of this thread not working?


Awesome ride report btw - might have to order myself the dvd!
And g'day from a fellow polak in Brisbane, Australia!
