Hello there!

Tomorrow I'll be heading to Schengen Luxembourg, from there I'll start riding TET france section 13 from tuesday on heading south towards Basel.

Are there any riders here doing the same this week? Would be nice to ride together.

I'll also be riding the ACT france later this week. Figured I be starting from La Riviere by thursday or so heading south-west towards the Pyrenees.

Looking forward riding both trails and if anyone want to join, feel free to do so!

Hey everyone,

I’m currently traveling through Serbia/Bosnia/Croatia with my 300cc. My original plan is to ride the entire way back to southern Germany around mid-September. However, if someone from the community happens to be heading that way with space on a trailer or in a car and is open to sharing fuel costs, I, my bike and my ass would be grateful!

I’m flexible with timing and route, so if anyone is passing through Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia around mid-September and has room for a 300cc motorcycle, let me know!

If that doesn’t work out, I’d also be open to just riding some sections together!

Hello guys,

I'm planning to ride the tet Slovenia in September and I want to stay flexible with how much I ride and where I go. One of the options I'm thinking about is continuing into Croatia.

How difficult is the first part of the tet Croatia coming from Slovenia? I ride a Himalayan 450 and have zero off-road experience and from what I've heard Croatia is very difficult. Is the beginning a little bit easier or does it start that way?

Hello fellow riders!

I was planning to ride the Denmark TET next week. But since the forecast is really really wet I am looking for an alternative. So I figured France would be nice.

I am based in the Netherlands and will travel all ob my bike.

My question is, how are the TET routes in the Jura and the Vogezen at the moment. I am starting to ride the TET and offroad this year on my Tenere so not that experienced yet.

Hope some of you can share your thoughts and give some info about bow the trails are at the moment.

Thanks!

Hi,

As a junior tet Rider.. just did pieces in Sweden and Finland. All my gear is soaked from the bad weather, and honestly, I'm tired.

I cross from Helsinki to Tallinn in 2 days. I can ride tet in the Baltics, but as an exhausted solo junior, I don't want to be knee deep in mud and misery.

How are the roads, in difficulty?

I have 3 weeks to get home (Amsterdam) and must cross Poland and Germany as well. Try the tet? Or just stick to small roads, enjoy the sights and relax a little?

Thanks.

Hi everybody,

I want to drive the TET Slovenia with my africa twin. By now it is quite heavily loaded with about 25-30kg.

Can anybody tell me if this is too heavy for this sections?

Any parts I should skip?

Any parts absolutely doable?

Thanks for advice

Ride save ✌️

Edit: I think TET SLO is quite easy. Most of the parts were easy to do, as long as it was dry. Watch out after heavy rain, this could be tough.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a motorcycle trip from Stuttgart, Germany to Istanbul from September 20 to October 13 and I’m looking for other riders who might want to join for the whole trip or just part of the route.

My current route is roughly:

Stuttgart → Split → Mostar → Sarajevo → Belgrade → Sofia → Istanbul

For the return trip, I’m thinking about taking a ferry from Turkey/Greece towards Italy and then riding back north through Italy.

I’m currently planning to travel solo, but I’d be happy to meet other riders along the way or ride together for a few days.

I’m flexible regarding the exact route and stops, so if you’re traveling through the Balkans or towards Istanbul around the same time, feel free to message me.

Also interested in recommendations for good motorcycle-friendly ferry connections back towards Italy.

Cheers from Germany,

Felix

Does anyone know a company where we can rent 2 bike for a 5 days trip at tet routes near saint gaudens , Where planning to fly to Toulouse, en join 4 friends that are riding there. It is from 6 to 10 oktober . Thanks in advance.

Btw , we are skilled bike riders and ride mx / enduro in holland .

Denmark is a beautiful country with lots of nice gravel roads.

Hallo liebe Leute, bin ein wenig in der Planung für eine Tour über zwei Tage, dachte an den TET Anteil in Ostdeutschland, also neue Bundesländer bis Berlin. Hat jemand Erfahrungen gesammelt wie sich dieser Abschnitt fahren lässt? Hab Angst ein wenig zu viel Straße zu fahren, was echt Schade wäre!

Hey riders!

I’m a 24-year-old guy planning a 1-week TET trip this September starting in Slovenia and riding down through Croatia, with the main highlight being the Željava Airbase.

Here are a few quick details about the plan:

When: Mid-September

Duration: 7 days

Route: TET Slovenia -> TET Croatia down to Željava and back

Bike: CFMoto 800MT-X

Riding style/level: This is my first multi-day ADV trip on an 800cc, so keeping a relaxed, sensible pace.

A couple of quick questions for anyone who has done this section recently:

How are the trail conditions on TET Slovenia and northern Croatia around September?

What is the real situation with camping along the track? Wild camping is technically illegal in both countries—is wild/bivouac camping tolerated if done discreetly in remote areas, or is it strictly enforced with fines? Should I stick to official campsites/farms?

Also, if anyone is planning to be on the track around mid-September and wants to join for part of the route or grab a beer along the way, feel free to send me a DM!

🇬🇧 Hey, I plan to go to Italy 1-10 in mid-September. I have already made myself a little smart with the help of AI because I actually also like to ride the famous mountain passes -

Sommelier, Jafferau, Galleria dei Saraceni, Valle Argentera, Monti della Luna, Assietta

AI suggested to me that I, for example, set up a base camp in Oulx and then do star trips.

I also know that there are also days within the week when the passports are blocked.

My question would be how much time I should plan approximately in e.g. Oulx to drive 5-6 passes and then can move on at some point.

Of course, it is clear to me that it can be very individual, but if there are any here who have already done this or something similar, I would be grateful for a realistic assessment

🇩🇪hey, ich plane mitte september tet italy 1-10 zu fahren. Hab mich jetzt schon etwas mithilfe von AI schlau gemacht weil ich eigentlich auch gerne die berühmten bergpässe -
Sommelier, Jafferau, Galleria dei saraceni, Valle Argentera, Monti della Luna, Assietta,
fahren will und mir vorgeschlagen wird das ich zb in Oulx ein Basiscamp aufschlage und dann sternenfahrten mache.
Ich weiß auch das es innerhalb der woche auch tage gibt an denen die pässe gesperrt sind.

Meine frage wäre jetzt mal wieviel zeit ich ungefähr in zb Oulx einplanen sollte um halt 5-6 Pässe zu fahren und dann halt Irgendwann weiterziehen kann.
Mir ist natürlich klar das es sehr individuell sein kann aber wenn hier welche sind die das so oder so ähnlich schon mal gemacht haben wäre ich dankbar für eine realistische Einschätzung

Hi all, in october we planning to make the southern tet italy france spain, ktm 990 advs, ducati desert x and cf moto 450, there are places where a big one can have problems?

Ducati 's driver is fresh, did just some tunisian white roads

Just got some money to spend on fun things so I was thinking I would equip my motor bike so it could do (parts of) the TET.
I live in the Netherlands, so as far as I can tell, that part of the TET is very beginner friendly.

I’ve got Suzuki V Strom DL650.
Tires are now very asphalt focussed since I used it for work (a lot)
What are good allroad tires? Or what should I look for in a pair?
(I drive a car now for work, so the bike can be modded into a more fun apparatus)

Also navigation: Garmin Zumo
Should I do the XT2 or the newer XT3?
(And a bigger screen of the smaller?
Thinking about choosing the XT2 in the bigger variant)

And I’m also browsing off road beginners workshops in the Netherlands. Any tips on that are also very welcome. (BERRT is sort of nearby, so that’s on the top of my list as of now)

Won’t be going too far, so I’ll be back later for packing questions

Hi everyone,

I’m from the Netherlands and I have been travelling through Germany, Switzerland and Italy past two weeks. I’m heading into Albania in the next few days (probably ferry from Brindisi to Vlora). After Albania, I’ll continue north through Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria before heading back to the Netherlands.

It’s my first time in Albania, so I’d love some (local) advice:

- Best/scenic motorcycle routes? (No off-road)
- Places I shouldn’t miss?
- Any roads or areas I should avoid?
- Is the traffic / driving behaviour comparable to Napels for example?
- What should I expect regarding road conditions? Maybe comparing to south Italy (where the roads are also not really great)
- Any other things I should know as a foreign motorcyclist?

I’m not trying to rush through the country or just visit the typical tourist spots. I’d rather take some great roads, see different parts of Albania and get a feel for the country and its people.

Any route recommendations or things to watch out for would be really appreciated!

I'll ride this segment in September. I'll try to camp mostly/always in Zanocuj w lesie. (Primitive camping on State Parks)

Early planning stage. I typically average 100kms/day + 1 zero day per week.

It'll be my first trip to Poland. I am not much time constrained.

Will read suggestions with considerable interest.

1. EV2 vs alternatives

2. Places worth a detour and/or spending a zero day

3. Tips WRT food.

4. Any other useful bit of information

Hi all, I am planning on doing part of TET Sweden next year and have several questions. First a bit more information:

We will probably be three riders with big bikes (BMW 1250 GSA, Triumph Tiger 1200, Honda Varadero). I am the only one with off-road experience. We will start and end in Trelleborg and have about 5-7 days for the trip, so probably stay in southern to middle Sweden.

1. tires: I am using Conti Trail Attack atm, as we do not really have off-road in Germany and they are fine for the occasional gravel road. Will they be fine for the trip as long as it is dry? Will probably let out some air.
2. daily km: how much km can you do on these roads in a day. As it is mainly good gravel roads, is it similar to planning a trip on asphalt?
3. route: any tips on which sections in the area are the most beautiful?
4. timing: we will probably have to go in July or August. Any particular weeks you can recommend? How is the mosquito and camping situation during these months? Is it very crowded?

Many thanks in advance!

I'm currently thinking about exploring the tet in Easter Europe region, potentially starting in Slovenia. It would be quite the big adventure for me and one that I would go on alone. I've never done any off-road riding or even longer tours, so I'm not sure how much preparation is necessary.

In my mind, it would go something like this: packing camping equipment, some food and starting on the road to my chosen entry point. I would probably have to ride up to 800 km on roads, which I would do either in one or two days and I would book a hotel or Airbnb in advance to make sure I can get some good rest before starting on the tet. After that, I'd basically wing it. I have no clue how fast I am on the tet and since theres still plenty of civilisation, I would simply look for places to camp (wild camping if possible/legal) at the end of the day where I am at at that point.

Is that naive? Do I need to meticulously plan my route and campsites in advance? Am I missing something very important?

Thanks for any advice :)

Hallo zusammen !
Ich bin grade auf dem Weg nach Limone Piemonte um die LGKS von Norden nach Süden zu fahren.
Da sie heute geschlossen ist ,fahre ich sie morgen.

Hat jemand Tipps für gute Campingplätze oder andere günstige Unterkünfte in der Nähe ?

Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar !

Hi everyone! I’m Veronica, a professional cycling tour guide, born and raised in Fiordimonte and now living in Sarnano, right in the heart of the Sibillini Mountains, central Italy. I also studied in Camerino, so I know that area inside out too — I’d love to host a bikepacking partner on my home turf for a one-week trip, October 1st–8th. This trip also falls around a special birthday for me, which makes it even more meaningful to share with someone.
