Corona Covid 19 trip across Europe


Recommended Posts

As I said not to many pictures as it is boring motorway trip to Croatia.

Today departed from home toward euro tunnel, at 5 this morning light traffic all the way. Arrived just on time for train at 10:20 ( lot of road works and diversions),

Customs no issues at all, French bloke didn’t ask nothing. I did fill up online form for France few day’s in advance so maybe that is enough.

Arrived just south of Frankfurt, found nice track stop for overnight, not crowded fortunately no rain. Sleeping homeless stile in the sleeping bag on the bench. More details tomorrow after Austria and Slovenia.

Looks like you have been lucky with the weather so far ! :D


Keep the updates and the photos coming - and good luck with the rest of your journey. Is that Zadar you're heading for ? I've been to Zadar and Dubrovnik. A beautiful ride down the Adriatic coast. 8-)

No I am going to Rijeka, my home town, but yes, ride from north to south along Adriatic coast is fantastic, and places as zadar, sibenik, etc all the way to Dubrovnik are fantastic.

Especially now with just tenth of the tourists, everything is half price.

Few pics on the way

So update, arrived to Croatia, where tourists are welcomed, no one asked a question. Except on Austria/Slovenian border, Slovenian bloke asked where is the destination, when heard Cro he just waved his hand to go.

So depend on destination it looks very easy to travel.

So I stop last evening on lorry park around Wursburg, slept on the bench in the sleeping bag as real homeless. Rain worked me up at 03:00 so I just departed 03:30. It was raining over 3 hours, almost to Austria where sun came out finally.

Roads were very quiet what helped a lot getting quickly to destination, autobahn on cruise control 160 km/h

Brilliant !

Many thanks for taking us with you and posting the pictures. :D

Congratulations on completing the trip in an excellent time.

My days of cruising at 160kph on motorways are far behind me - I hope you didn't trigger any speed cameras ..... :oops:

On the plus side, your bike is very economical if you were getting over 50mpg travelling at those speeds :thumb:

No I didn’t trigger any speed camera, I did 160 only on the unlimited parts of the autobahn. I did follow all limits. As computer says average speed on all 2000km was 111 km/h what is 69 miles/h.

At 160 consumption was 40 miles /gallon, not bad at all.

It would be fantastic if I could stick all the way at 100 miles/h, it would take me only 12 hours instead of 18

Good man ! I hadn't realised you were referring to (unlimited) German autobahn. My experience on them has been that they are very busy, so fairly short bursts of (very) high speed, then going with the flow of traffic until the next clear stretch, then another short burst of speed. I guess the roads are reasonably quiet now, so allowing high cruising speeds. You would have to stop for fuel more often, but at 40mpg and a 23 litre tank that wouldn't slow you down much either.

All that distance at legal speeds and only 18 hours was pretty good going ! :thumb:

@Marino Not sure if it will affect you but from the 10th Austria are closing some roads to motorcycles :thumb:

Unlikely I would be there on the bike but I have a removable baffle on a car that's bloody noisy
