“Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

Not chasing destinations.
Chasing the feeling of getting there.

We’re Agata and Joris – two riders exploring the world on two wheels. From remote off-road tracks to long-distance journeys across continents, we share real stories, tested gear and the kind of adventure you can’t always plan.

Official Day 1 at the RIDE Moto Festival… and what Official Day 1 at the RIDE Moto Festival… and what a day it was!

It was one of those days where so much happens that you don't even know where to start.

Of course, we spent plenty of time at the Adventure Country Tracks booth, chatting with fellow riders and sharing stories from the trails. But we also took every opportunity to wander around the festival, visit other exhibitors, relax in the chill zone, and admire everyone else's motorcycles. More than once. 

One of the highlights was the Speedway Arena. We watched the ACT Ride & Train team in action, saw kids taking their very first steps into off-road riding, and then came the show...

Kevin Gallas and Chris Birch throwing a Yamaha Ténéré and a KTM 890 around as if they were lightweight trials bikes. Maybe nobody told them those aren't supposed to do that! Mindblowing!

Later, we caught Chris Birch's talk. What an incredibly down-to-earth guy. Kevin had already headed off to join the Enduromaniacs event, but Chris stayed to chat, share stories and inspire riders of all levels.

Somewhere between all the motorcycles and conversations, we did the most German thing possible... stopped for a proper schnitzel. 

We wrapped up the day exactly as it should be wrapped up: relaxing with friends, listening to live music, and soaking in the atmosphere. Great weather, great people, and a festival that simply gets what motorcycling is all about.

RIDE Moto Festival: 3 days. 2 wheels. 1 love.

Getting there… eventually. The plan was ACT Greec Getting there… eventually.

The plan was ACT Greece.

Getting to the start of ACT Greece? Well, that became a trip of its own.

Poland → Serbia → North Macedonia → Albania → a few unexpected days off here and there → a change of plans → another change of plans → and finally… Leskovik.

Not exactly the route, timing or journey we had imagined when leaving home.

But that's motorcycle travel for you. Sometimes getting there is half the adventure.

Here's the short version.

🆕VIDEO🆕 The full ACT Greece video is finally here 🆕VIDEO🆕

The full ACT Greece video is finally here. 

If the blog post was the full story, this is the part where you get to see what it actually looked like.

From the long way south, changing plans and unexpected stops, to mountain tracks, gravel, river crossings, wrong turns, landslides and the final ride to Vikos Gorge — this trip gave us a little bit of everything.

And now we’ve finally turned it into one full video.

So if you prefer motorcycles, mountains and moving pictures to long paragraphs… this one is for you. 

Full video on YouTube - link below / in bio.

Check out our YouTube channel, watch, and subscribe :)

🇱🇻 Latvia, here we come! OUTDURO Scout 2026 is ge 🇱🇻 Latvia, here we come!

OUTDURO Scout 2026 is getting close and we're really looking forward to this one. A new country for both of us, adventure riders, quests, workshops, music, food, campfires… and even a sauna. 😁

Of course, getting there couldn't be completely straightforward.

Joris will do it almost properly — leaving a few days earlier with a car and bikes on a trailer, taking his time and meeting some fellow bikers along the way.

Agata didn't manage to get time off work, so it's Plan B: ✈️ to Riga with a cheap airline, laptop bag as the only luggage and the rest of the stuff travelling comfortably with Joris. Joris will collect Agata from the airport when she arrives. Agata will work during the days as if nothing unusual is happening and enjoy OUTDURO in the afternoons and evenings.

And this time we're not only coming to enjoy the event — we'll also be among the speakers! 

Our topic? Travelling as a couple.

After all these years and kilometres together, we certainly have some stories to tell. Some of them we even remember the same way. 😉

See you in Latvia! 🇱🇻🏍️🔥
