Albanian Memories
A little reminiscence of our last trip to Albania. Originally I had planned to come back this year, but due to the “virus” it is uncertain wether this is going to be possible.

Wheelie Controversy
We all know the situation. Driving smoothly down the road and somebody does a wheelie in front of you. So much is going through our minds if we see a wheelie.

Since I bought my first Motorcycle I am searching the perfect Enduro tyre. Of course there wont be such thing, but we can try to find one close to perfect. The last tyre I tested on my KTM 690 Enduro R is the Heidenau K60 Scout. I used two sets, one only onstreet and one mostly offroad.

Tirana we are coming!
One lesson that we learned from our Albania adventure 2 years ago was the painfulness of a fully charged enduro in rough terrain.
On September, 9 we are going to be back, but this time we will move into a nice Albanian villa in the surroundings of Tirana, using it as a headquarter for our trips into the back country.
Stay tuned, we will soon report our tracks, adventures, mishaps, …
For now, just a sneak preview of the planned tracks.
Cheers,
Ralf
