“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.

What does a perfect day at a motorcycle festival l What does a perfect day at a motorcycle festival look like?

Talking adventure riding with fellow bikers. Wandering between incredible bikes. Watching kids discover off-road riding for the first time. Seeing Chris Birch and Kevin Gallas make big adventure bikes look like trials machines. Taking a well-earned schnitzel break. Finishing the day with live music, good friends and a fantastic atmosphere.

Here's a little recap... but it doesn't capture even a fraction of the vibe.

3 days. 2 wheels. 1 love.

Morning coffee came with a view. Then again, that Morning coffee came with a view. Then again, that seems to be a recurring theme on this trip.

We rejoined the ACT Greece track and continued with Day 3. The twisties were great, the off-road sections challenging, and Osmand provided its usual share of entertainment. A few missed turns due to a slowly refreshing map meant some extra manoeuvring, including backing the bikes down a steep climb that definitely wasn't part of the route.

Eventually we reached the end of Day 3 and immediately faced another challenge: fuel.

The first petrol station was closed. So was the second. And the third.

Sunday?

Luckily, the fourth one was open. Even better, it had a café next door, so naturally another coffee happened.

Then came Day 4.

The start was fantastic: flowing roads, smooth tarmac, and spectacular views. Soon enough, however, the off-road returned with gravel, rocks, puddles, stream crossings, and all the fun that comes with them.

Back on the tarmac, concentration was still required because the road occasionally had a habit of disappearing. Throughout the route we've seen plenty of evidence of landslides and flood damage, with washed-out sections appearing in some unexpected places.

As we entered the Agrafa Mountains, the fun continued. We even met a few fellow off-road riders, which was reassuring because most of the time it feels like we have the entire track to ourselves.

Fast gravel roads mixed with proper off-road sections carried us up to 1,700 metres above sea level before a long descent brought us to Lake Plastira.

And there, once again, we found a view with a room attached to it.

Life could be worse. 😉🏍️⛰️🇬🇷

Three days. Hundreds of bikes. Great atmosphere. Three days. Hundreds of bikes. Great atmosphere.

From the ride to Ruhpolding, through the campsite filled with motorcycles from every corner of Europe, to the buzzing atmosphere of the RIDE Moto Festival this is what it's all about.

Here's a little glimpse of day zero. More adventures are still to come :)

It's official! Today marks the beginning of a br It's official! 

Today marks the beginning of a brand-new adventure as Hopper Garage officially opens its doors!

For years, many of you have followed our travels, our adventures, and the workshop stories behind them. Throughout all those kilometres, one thing has always been constant—Joris' passion for motorcycles and keeping them ready for whatever comes next.

That passion has now become Hopper Garage.

Adventure and rally bikes are at the heart of what we do, whether it's servicing, repairs, upgrades, or getting your bike ready for the next big trip. But no matter what you ride, you're always welcome.

If you're looking for honest advice, quality work, and someone who understands what it's like to depend on your motorcycle far from home, we'd be happy to help.

The easiest way to reach Joris is by using the WhatsApp button on the Hopper Garage Facebook page.

Here's to new beginnings, exciting projects, and helping more riders get out there and enjoy the ride.

See you in the garage!
