In Poland there still stand many Polish monuments commemorating the hard times.

From Siemianówka to Białystok riding on the Honda motorcycle in Poland. Visiting a local mechanic in search of a new rear motorcycle tire. Since we have to wait a night for the tire we spend the day in Białystok in the historic centre, wandering through the Versailles of Poland Branicki Palace. Passing by the monument to the heroes who defended the city. Inscripted by the words God Honor Homeland and Independence. A reminder still of the relatively recent hard historic time Poland went through. Riding on a Honda motorcycle, Transalp 600.

It's Friday, drinking game is back on, tonight featuring the word 'Białystok'. Also, what would your rear tire of choice be?

[@yorkchris10]

Mitas is a Czech company owned by Michelin. They probably don't have one of those programs where you pick up your new tire at the factory. Kind of a steampunk thing talking to an intercom.

[@zemquoi]

I ride the E07's front and rear. I am on my second set. They have worn really well, with a long useable tread life. I have to ride a good ways on the hard to get to my dirt, and they are the best tire at both dirt and road for me. Probably the best 50/50 compromise I have found. Don't worry about us off road oriented viewers, we're with you for the ride no mater where you go, or who comes along. When adding " rear foot-pegs" to your lifestyle, you have to consider increasing the comfort and the safety of Atlas. Hence a little compromise in tires and routes. I am glad you have found a friend who can appreciate the travel on Atlas. She's no Yoko-ono! :) P.S. I have tried riding dirt with a pillion, and it is really hard! I hope you don't try to rip it like you do on the back roads with her on back, but you probably will!

[@NaKolachPrzezSwiat]

"Do swidania" means "good bye" in Russian language :) If you want to say it in Polish, you may say "do widzenia" :) I'm waiting on the next episode. As always :)

I really appreciate your polish accent - really good pronunciation 🙂 History in Poland has slightly different context than west of Europe - only in ww2 6 000 000 Poles lost their souls...

[@iPedroMota]

Cheers work in progress but impossible to perfect without living there for years I reckon.

Thanks for the videos Pedro. How do you find places to stay while travelling...especially in countires where you do not speak their language? Do you use an app or? Just curious what works best.

[@iPedroMota]

I used to walk into places when needed and check availability. Without language basic English words, gestures, body language and notes becomes the communication form. Even haggled this way for room prices. Now it's mostly on the Booking app, rarely airbnb anymore because that app has become extremely bad. Private hosts are on Booking too now and offering better prices anyway, especially once you collect level 2/3 genius loyalty discount (this might be bs with hotel prices but with private hosts I think the discount is legit).

[@SH-qq3fb]

[@hsrgc]

The spot, where you've parked your bike at city center, is called "śmietnik" ("trash bin" in english) and that's common place of Białystok's bikers meeting ;)

[@iPedroMota]

It is, and that's how it was noted on maps. A literal bike meeting spot because every rider that stopped there shook my hand. All happened so fast I didn't get any footage. Really cool, cheers

[@PaweNasiadka]

Love the way You explained how to pronounce "ł" (like w in English) and that's actually true. :D Let us know when You will plan to visit Poland again (west part this time maybe). We can help You to organize place to sleep, or with some places You need to see here. Great video!

[@theosone]

My hometown, Białystok. Many memories.. Gotta visit again, haven’t been there for yeaaaars…

[@SewGurl58]

Oh man I really resisted the urge to “Yoko Ono-ing “ you. Not everyone’s life can be spent entirely traveling the world by the least traveled route. So I guess we’ll see where this Mariska takes us.

Haha trippy to hear some guy playing Tom Petty in city square middle o no where Poland and old Joe Bison makes another appearance.. reverse Glasnost ? Good times Pedro

[@iPedroMota]

Thanks for identifying, never got into Petty but he's up next. Everywhere in the world there are talented people on squares, in tunnels and streets banging out tunes.

[@brianbennett6978]

Like my E07+. Haven’t installed the front yet but rear is smooth. $350 US for front and rear plus new tubes.

Haven't seens your videos for some time nad suddenly BANG - you're in my city:D Anyway I have both e-07 and i think its a good compromise if you like 50% pavement and 50% dirt.

[@worldcitizen123]

You are already driving around Poland a bit. I understand that this is your first trip to this country. Now tell us what did you learn about Poland? Any conclusions?

[@iPedroMota]

The Polish seem to have it figured out at the moment. Place looks booming on the coast and in the cities with happy people and a lot of families out and about. You can sometimes feel the contrast between the 'old' and the 'new', the hard times are still in peoples memories so they seem happy with their own brand of 'moving forward'. Like the Baltic countries proud of their history because they know how much suffering it took to get where they are (or even exists for that matter). Most affordable country too with their own currency, especially when compared to the Baltic countries so that seems to be bringing in business and opportunities.

[@chrzanik666]

I love eo7 plus from mitas but get it scrubbed before it gets wet mate and they not best in mud. Nevertheless I like both front and back

[@iPedroMota]

Cheers, always a bit easy on any tire in the beginning. These patterns never are, only knobs will put you slightly at ease in the mud. On the rear it has been great, soft rubber but still lasting so far and sticking on the mild off-road we've done. I really dig Mitas, so far only winners and same goes for the mc23 front I'm putting on later.

[@mariuszkochanski]

Białystok is the 10th city Polish in terms of the number of inhabitants (300,000, agglomeration about 420,000). The surface area is of medium size and that is why we have a high population density.

Hi Pedro , are you going to Warsaw 01.07 5pm to see the warsaw uprising minute of silence?

The tractionator is an excellent tire, I run the I/T on my dual sport but to be honest, the Motoz Desert H/T is probably the one for you. It will hold up longer and still has excellent grip. I run that one on my 790R, I'm not a fan of the HT front tire though...

Looks like a nice ride. I think you probably going to Nord Kapp ?

[@ragnargrabson1287]

No worries mate, there is a lot of NATO troops in this area. Poles and NATO have things under control. Russians know if they start something evil against Poland and NATO, their Kaliningrad city is going to be turned into rubble.
