Year 2020 ๐Ÿ˜ท Covid. Iโ€™m stuck in Sri Lanka. After 4.5 months I finally manage to get out of the country by taking a repatriation flight to Russia.

Time to settle? No way! My restless soul goes looking ๐Ÿ‘€ for a new way of travelling. Andโ€ฆ What if?โ€ฆ

๐Ÿค” What if I ride a tour around Europe on a motorcycle until this madness calms down? Motorcycle is a perfect way of self-isolating while staying on the road during these weird times.

It was a pretty spontaneous idea. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ I had never really had anything to do with motorcycles before (just some scooter experience from SE Asia) but somehow I was absolutely sure that this was exactly what I wanted to do.

What a brilliant plan! Letโ€™s execute!

๐Ÿชช Get a motorcycle licence โ˜‘๏ธ
๐Ÿ Buy a motorcycle โ˜‘๏ธ

All set! What am I waiting for?! Letโ€™s go!

Ah, oh, wait, itโ€™s end of October and it starts snowing ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Skip to Plan B. Leave the motorcycle in the garage until next summer and fly to Gran Canaria for the winter. (Yes, for some magic reason international flights started operating again, not for long, but I was right on time to take one!)

Good bye Baby Bee (I gave this name to my Honda Hornet the very moment I saw it), donโ€™t be sad, Iโ€™ll come back for you!
