BIKER RALLY IN SLUNJ, 28-29 JULY 2017

Because of working Saturdays, we only have a chance to visit biker rallies close to us. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that, even thought it would be nice to visit places we have never been before more often. Until we do, read our impressions from a biker rally which took place on 28th and 29th July and was organized by MK Poskok Slunj. We have never attented the rally in Slunj, so we were quite curious, and I have to say, the organization surpassed all our expectations - great location, hundreds of motorcycles, affordable prices and a great atmosphere!

However, lets go back to the start. At first we had planned to ride to Slunj and go back home on the same day, but on Friday decided to sleep over. For this reason, getting ready was a bit hectic but nevermind. We set off on Saturday afternoon, with two more bikers. We expected traffic jams, so we decided to take the alternative route - Karlovac - Tounj - Primišlje - Slunj. The road from Tounj to Slunj is not the greatest, but, according to many bikers we met along the way, nobody seems to care. Neither did we, so we quickly reached our destination. Members of the Poskok motorcycle club greeted us with rakija, and we went on to find a spot and pitch our tent.

We missed the parade because we were simply to slow pitching our tent. After such hard work😁we could not wait to take a shower. Cold water was a needed refreshment on a such hot day. After that we went to grab a bite and to check out the bikes.

There were some interesting machines. You don't see them every day.

Later in the evening we exchanged experiences, adventures and opinions with other bikers, and enjoyed the concert of a very famous Croatian band Majke(Mothers in English😂)

All in all, this rally was a great one, both concerning the organization and the atmosphere. There were so many bikes, bikers and other visitors, so this rally was a memorable one. Bravo for the Poskok motorcycle club, and see you next year!

BACK IN THE SADDLE: Karlovac

In one of our previous posts we announced a trip along the Croatian coast, which unfortunately did not happen. The reason is bad weather combined with a broken shock on our bike. All that kept us at home. We spent our holidays without the motorcycle, but we still spend them at the seaside and enjoyed ourselves very much😊 We also love cycling, so we were on two wheels even without Suzuki. After great time at the seaside we head back home to find out that the shock is fixed! Almost immidiately we hop on the bike!

We did not have much time, so we only went for a quick ride to Duga Resa, a place near Karlovac. One cannot ride there without stopping at PTG, a caffe bar in Gornje Mrzlo Polje, which is very popular among bikers. You can always meet bikers there!

After a chat with friends, we go back to Karlovac. This was a short ride, just to see if the shock is working properly😁

Summer is still here, so we are planning many nice and interesting trips!

See you on the road!
