“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.

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!

🆕VIDEO🆕 ACT Montebania Well… the blog post only t 🆕VIDEO🆕
ACT Montebania

Well… the blog post only took us 9 months to publish, so obviously the video needed a little more time.

14 months after the trip, our ACT Montenegro & Albania video is FINALLY here! 

Six ACT stages, 1150 km of Montenegro and Albania, rocky climbs, endless mountains, Lake Koman, questionable roads, wrong turns, old demons defeated, lots of dust… and a well-earned gin at the finish line.

It took us two weeks to ride it.
Nine months to write about it.
Fourteen months to make the video.

At this rate, we’re getting dangerously close to having a system. 

Grab a coffee (or a beer), get comfortable and come ride ACT Montebania with us.

Full video on YouTube - link below / in bio.

Day 2 at the RIDE Moto Festival – more of everythi Day 2 at the RIDE Moto Festival – more of everything!

Saturday turned the volume up a notch.

More bikes. More riders. More conversations. And definitely more sunshine! The festival grounds were buzzing all day.

Whenever we had a chance, we wandered around again. More bikes to admire, more interesting talks to listen to... and, of course, a bit more time spent simply soaking up the atmosphere. That's one of the best things about festivals like this - there's no rush. You just let the day unfold.

The only thing that didn't quite live up to Friday was the evening concert. Let's just say... we've discovered there's someone out there who sings worse than we do. (That's just our personal opinion we're definitely not professional music critics!)

Back at the campsite, the day had one final surprise waiting for us. Apparently, while we were away, a family of moles had decided that the ground beneath our tent was prime real estate. They'd built several fresh molehills right underneath us, turning our sleeping area into something between an inflatable mattress and an off-road obstacle course.

There was still one festival day left, but we decided to head home early. A long ride awaits us, and with the weather forecast looking far from perfect, we'd rather take our time and split the trip over two days. We've seen what we came to see, done what we came to do, and now it's time for the most important part of any adventure: getting home safely.

The Long Way Home ACT Greece behind us. Home some The Long Way Home

ACT Greece behind us. Home somewhere far to the north.
All that was left was to get there.

Except "going home" still meant Albania, Montenegro, Serbia, an unplanned detour through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia, a night at Lake Balaton, and plenty more kilometres through Hungary and Slovakia.

No tracks to complete. No targets to chase. Just ride, stop somewhere nice, sleep, repeat. Until the familiar roads finally appeared and brought us back to Kraków.

Another adventure over. Bikes home. Riders home.

And yes… Still no flat tyres. 😎
