Motorcycle Travellers Tales content
Many people think that for an expedition one needs a pipeline from the bank, a luxury vehicle and two years of paid vacation from work. We believe, all you need are two wheels, a dizzy road and a tough bum. For the past three years, we have been riding and documenting adventurous and inspiring areas. The sceneries have been outstanding and the experiences remarkable. We are tavelling through Europe on our motorcycle with the hope of having fun, gaining and sharing experience, and raising awareness for childhood cancer.
