Just wanted to drop in and say Hi!

I'm Anton, 27, from Sweden and I've been lurking around the hubb for the last few months and been finding it really helpful for my trip. And decided its time to join the discussions now

Have previously been doing a bit of bicycle touring but last year I got tired of all motorcycles whizzing by... so I went ahead and got myself a MC license instead! During this time I also read "Jupiters Travels" which got me inspired to do some motorcycle traveling.

I bought my first Motorbike this April, a 2014 CRF250L and since July I have been traveling on it around Europe. I'm currently in Croatia and will be doing some climbing and TET riding around the balkans/Greece and after that I will go from Morocco down to South Africa later in the Autumn. Who knows if it works out with Covid and everything.. but I'll give it a go and see how far I can get.

Was really hoping on joining one of the Horizon meetups as I know next to nothing about motorcycles/maintenance.. but unfortunately none of the dates/places matched up! Will have to try to join one next year instead. But fortunately, the bike has been holding up great so far (I hope I didn't jinx it now...)

Here is me and my bike:

Hope to see ya'll out on the roads and hit me up if you're planning on riding similar route!

Well for a newbie, you certainly made a great decision on the bike side. Welcome to HUBB and I hope your plans work out.

Welcome to the HUBB!

Sent you a direct message.

Yeah I think the bike choice is not too bad. I especially like that it is quite lightweight so that I can pick it up by myself, which has already happend a few times too many times.. haha

Thanks, must have missed that. Will definitely check those out!
