[MJS]

Well, end of week 3 for me now, so I thought it was time I put pen to paper so to speak.
First impressions of Poland - it's a lot better than I was expecting. And the nice thing, they seem to like their bikes. OK, must bikes are pretty old and knackered as you would expect, but there are some nice bikes about - coming in from the airport I saw a zx6r in the first village i came to, and then around and about Gliwice where I'm based I've seen a few... the square in the centre of town is undoubtedly the place to go, and one of the bars seem to collect bikes most nights of the week, mainly Harley style machines, but i've seen a fairly new Fireblade this week, a 2004 R1 with the most miniscule license plate ever, virtually unreadable even when standing directly behind it, and my favourite, an old GSXR1100, with what can only be described as a sawn-off can - it looks as if he has literally sawn the end off the can and made it open-ended.. he can be heard halfway across town...
Also came across a single Ducati - a dark blue ST2 I believe..
Anyway, all good fun...

Cheers
Martin
