Year 2020 \ud83d\ude37 Covid. I\u2019m stuck in Sri Lanka. After 4.5 months I finally manage to get out of the country by taking a repatriation flight to Russia.<\/p>\n
Time to settle? No way! My restless soul goes looking \ud83d\udc40 for a new way of travelling. And\u2026 What if?\u2026<\/p>\n
\ud83e\udd14 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.<\/p>\n
It was a pretty spontaneous idea. \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f 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.<\/p>\n
What a brilliant plan! Let\u2019s execute!<\/p>\n
\ud83e\udeaa Get a motorcycle licence \u2611\ufe0f
\n\ud83c\udfcd Buy a motorcycle \u2611\ufe0f<\/p>\n
All set! What am I waiting for?! Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n
Ah, oh, wait, it\u2019s end of October and it starts snowing \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f<\/p>\n
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!)<\/p>\n
Good bye Baby Bee (I gave this name to my Honda Hornet the very moment I saw it), don\u2019t be sad, I\u2019ll come back for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
