[QUOTE=beniamin82;72597]Jmgoujun, you must not thank me.
I glad to write if someone read it and have fun.

I also love read about trips, but only the ones they started normal people with not many money.

I belive that nobody needs a lot of money and a super motorbike to do trips.[/QUOTE

Dzień 7 (piątek)

It seems to be the end of the adventure, began our return home.
I did only a few photos, Jacek did still a lot .
We left in the morning from Lugo, to go as far as possible, to have a shorter way to Graz next day.
The idea was to relax before a long and tedious road to Poland.

The entire stay in Italy we was worried about this sign:


This sign was located at the entrances to the highway and highway bypasses of towns and we never had the time nor the ability to make pictures of him.
According to me, it could only mean one thing ...
travel ban for motorcycle engine with a capacity less than 249ccm and for scooters with an engine capacity of less than 150ccm.
Well, but if it means travel ban of motorcycles with up to 249ccm we can get in trouble if someone check us.
Cruisers look bigger than they actually are so we took the risk.
I sent an e-mail request to an Italian friend living in Poland

-Can We go with 249ccm motorcycles on a highway in Italy?
The answer was:
-Unfortunately not, min 250 cc...

On this day I have not read an email ... so I received this reply the next day.
the next day I got another answer:

The limit is 150 cc for motorcycles :). You can drive!
3 Wheel limit to 250 cc
2 wheel limit of 150

I do not not seen three wheels on the sign,
Now as I look at this picture I see is actually a side car ....


Drive near Venice fell another way, this time we were driving along some river along which were interesting residences.


On the way we stopped at Yamaha store.
That there was a lot more models to look at than in Poland.
Of course, I've only found one interesting vehicle, and in my opinion, manufactured in China (Has anyone seen this on aliexpress?):



Looking at the map we agreed coastal town where we would spend the night, and that fits us to plan further travel, Marano Lagunare. We stuck to the plan, I wanted that day swim in the Adriatic Sea.

Yeah, but in this coastal town, full of tourists, you will not find a camping ... Simple there are no camping in this town, so told us the employee from the store. She did not speak neither German nor English asked in Polish:
Where can we find Camping? She tapped a finger on the map and showed town to which it was 50km.
So we went to Grado. Road to Grado leads on a spit. You have water on the right and left side for 5 km. Pretty cool.

We were invited to choose the place for tents (price 22euro / person). We were pretty tired and did not want to go another 50km to search for another cheaper camping.
For the price we chose the best available seats:


It is time for a swim in the sea and cooking pasta ... brought from Poland.

Day 8 (Saturday)

Last look at the sea and in the way.


On the camping We met a German biker on old two stroke MZ motorcycle.
He came from Wiesbaden by the Grossglockner. The 19PS bike was almost enough.


The time has come to pay for the campsite, Jacek was about to mention that for this standard 22euro is an exorbitant amount
... but it turned out that the box cost 22 for two people.

It's a reasonable price for the first camping site at the resort.

We returned to Graz the same way as we arrived in Italy, but the views were different.
First of all, a lot of Italian riders chose to ride into the mountains for fun.

Signs on the road showed 36-38 degrees Celsius, which in the Italian climate could easily withstand with mesh clothes.
But in Austria the temperature endured worse, luckily it was cold in the tunnels, we had a moment of respite.


Na którejś ze stacji spotkałem ziomali na OKRach, czyli autobus rejestrowany w moim powiecie:

In the meantime, Jacek boiled water for coffee, here we took a longer break:

I sat myself on the curb, ants attacked me ... also some adventure:-)

Late in the afternoon we arrived at the monastery in Graz.

Day 9 (Sunday)
Time to set off for home,ahead of us a boring highway ...

Sun from the sky poured amazing, clothes gave advice, but there was lack of air in the helmet.

It started to bother us terrible sleeping, in Vienna I had enough and quit the highway with a random exit.
It turned out that for IKEA. Of course, Sunday closed, and fortunately because parkig was empty and shaded.
Time for coffee, Snickers and redbull energy drink.


In the Czech Republic I again had a sleep attack. On the Highway is hard to find a parking.
So I've searched for other convenient place.

I saw an open motorway junction with the prohibition of entry, but open ...

Without thinking i quit the highway, looking for some shade I wanted to enter for some bushes.
Behind the bushes was a viaduct over the highway, where the border guards was chatting with binoculars.....
So we could not stay there..


We left the highway at the next exit, heat tormented us terribly.
We stopped at a gas station, after a while, the station ran a historic Java with a trailer.

But then we noticed that on the other side of the road is a small meeting of fans of Java motorcycles.
We decided to drive up and exchange a few words.




Java owners were nice, but not very talkative. The time was to go on our way forward.
We agreed that Jack Olomucu I wring on Bruntal, and he would go further by Ostrava.

From Olomuc to my home was still 130km, and from Brutnalu I know the way by heart, so I am almost at home.
But In Olomuc I had to ask how to go to the Bruntál and it was explained to me, that's great.

At some point began to show signs pointing to Bruntal.
Moments later appeared serpentines, after exiting the qurve I saw one like this view:



It is a Joke? The road is blocked and a detour marked absent.

The policeman explained to me that they have a sporting event and the road is impassable.
I asked a policeman how to get to Bruntal.

I received a message that I have to go to traffic circle and there will be a sign on Opava / Bruntal.

But such a mark was not there, so I went in the direction that seemed geographical me right.

Along the way, I asked which way to Bruntal, of course I had to explain that the road closed because they are some games.
I have to go to Rýmařov and there shall be signs in Bruntal.
Well I'm going in the right direction ...

Began to show signs of:
Rymarzow 26km
Rymarzow 20km
Rymarzow 18km
Rymarzow 16km with adnotation road is impassable

In addition, I do not have a map, and I'm somewhere on some end of the world in some village.
A quite friendly Czech came up with a route.


Such "lovely" curves, width for one car and in addition hole on hole.
But as you will see in a moment it was worth to climb on the hill:



Some 10km later appeared a sign to Bruntal, with a smooth asphalt and beautifully contoured curves.
Later, from memory, Bruntal, Krnov, Mesto Albrechcice and Prudnik.
Quick refueling and 30km later I got home.


After returning home i took a quick bath and a meet with friends and have a cold beer.
