Experience

Ernest has been passionate about motorcycles since childhood. His first two-wheel freedom machine was a 50cc 2-stroke Soviet moped named DELTA which couldn't make 20 kilometres without breaking. Ernest had to learn how to fix it and search for replacement parts at local mechanic shops and developed a passion for servicing his motorcycles himself. Nowadays Ernest enjoys traveling and firmly believes that the most authentic way to experience a country is by exploring its backroads on a motorcycle. This approach allows him to fully immerse himself in the landscape and culture. He combines his rides with camping, which deepens his connection to the natural surroundings. Moreover, Ernest values the unique opportunity to meet and interact with local people during his travels, enriching his journey with their stories and perspectives. This blend of motorcycle exploration, camping, and local engagement forms the core of his travel philosophy.
