BIKER RALLY OMIŠ 21.-24.9.2017.

Check out our photos from our 6th biker rally in Omiš!

SLJEME 15.10.2017.

We decided to spend a lovely autumn day on Sljeme, the highest peak of the mountain Medvednica, standing at 1,033 m. There are many ways to get to the top, one of which being the asphalt road which we used, as well as many hiking trails. Due to that, Sljeme is a very popular place both among people living in Zagreb, and those living in other parts of Croatia.
Fellow bikers decided to spend such a nice day on Sljeme too!

On the top itself, there is the TV tower, which you can see from Zagreb and from Zagorje. The 169-meter-high tower has been here since 1976. Unfortunately, it is now closed for visitors.

Until 2007, there was a cable car Sljeme. It was opened in 1963 and had 88 cabins which were sufficient for transportation of more than 400 people. Due to the malfunction of the electromotor it was officially closed in 2007.

Of course, the view of Zagreb and its surroundings is breathtaking.

Sljeme is very popular among skiing fans, because of The Snow Queen Trophy, a World Cup alpine ski race held here since 2005. 

For all nature lovers and hikers, Sljeme is a perfect place to visit. The landscape is picturesque, and there are also many restaurants which offer local cuisine, so you will have the opportunity to enjoy with all your senses!

Hopefully, we will have a short winter and see you soon!

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!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ROADS IN CROATIA: Ogulin - Jasenak - Breze - Novi Vinodolski

If somebody asked me which, in my opinion, is the most beautiful road in Croatia, I don't think I could give an answer. In the beautiful country of Croatia there is an abundance of beautiful roads which lead to interesting places and hide many surprises. One of such roads is the route which we chose to ride to Novi Vinodolski. It rides from Ogulin, passes near Bijele and Samarske stijene, a mountain reserve in Gorski Kotar, and through the small place Breze continues to Novi Vinodolski. The whole route is very interesting and perfect for bikers. We came across an abandoned building which was once used as a forestry office. We took some photos, peeked into the building, and continued our journey to Novi Vinodolski.

After a while we come to the most beautiful part of the road, which rides through Breze, a place which has only four inhabitants. The view of the scenery is truly amazing, almost like a fairytale. Green pastures sprinkled with stones, sheep, wild horses, picturesque hills will leave you speechless. It really is difficult to describe the beauty of the landscape. However, we got the impression that drivers, especially foreign tourists, don't use this road as much. This is a shame, because there are so many places where you can stop and just breathe in the fresh air.

Soon we arrive in Novi Vinodolski, but we continued to Crikvenica. Of course, as always we looked for a place to eat 😁In the restaurant Stella, which is close to the beach, we stop for pizza. After lunch we relax on the beach.

As our return route we chose the road from Breze to Fužine, a beautiful place in Gorski Kotar. I can say that we were surprised seeing that the road is in perfect condition, and that there are numerous weekend houses along the road. You can stop in restaurants which offer hunting specialties. We arrives in Fužine, and enjoyed the beautiful view of the lake. Slowly we reached the road from Karlovac to Rijeka, the busiest road on that route, apart from the highway. We cruised towards Karlovac, which marked the end of our trip.

We are planning a new, longer trip along the Adriatic coast, so stay tuned!
See you on the road!

BIKER RALLY IN VELIKA PAKA, CROATIA

This Saturday, moto club Bezkintos from Velika Paka, a place near the border between Croatia and Slovenia, organised a biker rally. The forecast did say that there might be rain, but we decided to go anyway. It wouldn't be the first time that we ride in the rain😊 Since Velika Paka is quite close, we set off around half past three and rode towards Slapno, Jurovski Brod and then to Velika Paka. Bezkintos offered rakija on the entrance, and we were also invited to grab a bite with one biker crew. At 5 there was a parade through Velika Paka, and Bezkintos organised sausages and beer for everyone!😀

The clouds did not look very good and we could see the rain, but we were hoping that they will just go away😁

After the parade we went for a walk to take a few photos, hang out and enjoy this hot biker day!

In the evening we watched moto games - pushing bales of hay, human wheelbarrow and throwing motorcycle tyres. Everybody was laughing, but also cheering! We supported Mumije motorcycle club from Karlovac, took some photos and recorded the whole event.

After the games the sky turned black again, and we decide to head home. Bezkintos organised a great rally and we are convinced that everyone had a great time. We are looking forwaed to the rally next year!
