Tomek: Motorcycle passion in DNA

My father rides, my grandfather rode, and I ride too.

Grandfather Antoni (his photos below) - he knew how to enjoy life. He participated in motorcycle competitions multiple times, jumping through burning hoops, riding through mud, planks, and opening the throttle on straightaways. When he rode, it was always in grand style, he had many friends, laughed a lot, lived in the moment, and spread optimism. He passed this passion to his son, my father.

First ride?

The first time I sat on a motorcycle, or rather on the fuel tank, was at the age of 2. It was a Jawa 350 TS, which I, my sister, mom, and dad rode together (all at once). I rode a motorcycle by myself for the first time when I was 8 years old in a village near Wałbrzych. It was a blue Romet Pony 50 M2 - a friend let me ride it, and that was really the moment when I fell in love.

After that, there was no turning back. I broke my piggy bank, and together with a friend from the neighborhood, we pooled our money for a Romet Ogar 205. However, it was a short adventure - it was in very poor condition and broke down quickly. If I remember correctly, we paid 250 PLN for it. Later, I had a chance to ride a Simson S51 Enduro - but it was also damaged, so I only rode it around the chimney.

Later, at the age of 16, I bought a Laverda OR 600 Atlas from Andrzej Huszcza. Two years later, I became the owner of a Honda CB 500, which I crashed into a bump in a corner. That's when it threw me off and dragged me 100 meters on the asphalt (I was wearing a suit that saved my skin). As long as I can remember, I dreamed of a long motorcycle journey. At one time, I watched a lot of videos by Maciej Świnarski and Ivan McGregor.

Getting back to the machines, after the Honda came a BMW CS 650. This is the one I taught Agnieszka to ride on. It seemed like a good, forgiving motorcycle for beginners - that's why I chose it - with the thought that she would learn to ride. Later, I bought a second CS. Both motorcycles served their role well, serving us for 8 years. The next purchase was two GS 700s (good machines for their price), and later two Husqvarna FE 450s appeared in our garage, which allowed us to fulfill our dreams of further adventures.

How it all started?

Year 2004, high school, spring. I remember that day when a classmate pulled up to the school gate on his shiny blue steed, gave a look, and passing the helmet asked "wanna ride?". That was it. That ride turned into a passion, and the classmate became my best friend and, after a few years, my husband. It was a tall blue Laverda. Back then, apart from always catching my eye, I knew nothing about motorcycles.

For the first few years, I rode as Tomek's backpack. First on a Honda CB 500, then on a golden BMW F 650 CS. I absorbed knowledge and passion by observing and listening to both Tomek and his father, who ran a workshop, so he knows everything about automotive and the laws of physics governing two-wheelers. He shared this knowledge with me.

First tracks of my own

The first one I got to ride not as a backpack, but to learn to ride, was a golden BMW F 650 CS.

Back then, we would go to a village next to our hometown, and there, at an abandoned airport, I had my first riding lessons in life. In 2012, I legalized my relationship with two-wheelers and finally could start riding on the streets. For the next few years, we rode on two CS's, me on the yellow Osa, and Tomek on the Golden one.

In 2019, we bought blue BMW F 700 GSs and so we could go on trips in a group of 3 (together with Tomek's Dad) each on our own.

A few months later, on one trip with the CS and GS, far from civilization, in over 30 degrees, in a place where it was hard to find any shade, the drive belt broke on the CS. We needed a tow truck.

It was time for a color change. And so, in the first half of 2019, we managed to get another GS - the Red one, which I fell in love with for its riding comfort, agility, and the ability to have fun both off-road and on smooth asphalt.

Light is Right

In May 2020, at the Seroki motocross track near Warsaw, I tested a Yamaha YZ 250 and a KTM XC 350 (video from the tests). That was the moment when I felt what the difference in motorcycle weight means in practice. There was no turning back. We started intense research on light motorcycles and began making plans for adventures. This way, twins appeared in our garage - two Husqvarna FE 450s, which allowed us to fulfill our dreams of further adventures and with which we rode through Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Dinaric Rally, and countless Polish backroads.
