In Episode 3 of ‘Ride for my Dad’, I leave Poland and head straight through the Czech Republic into Austria. Then it’s a scenic ride to visit the home of KTM and look around the impressive Motohall in Mattighofen.

04:09 – Is this a road?
05:41 – Czech Countryside
06:26 – More dodgy ‘paved’ roads!
07:33 – Entering Austria for the night
08:25 – Day 6 heading to KTM Town
10:59 – Ottenstein Reservoir
13:30 – Crossing the Daube at Linz
14:20 – Mattighofen and the KTM Motohall

  1. Thanks for the tour of the KTM Moto Hall. I forget , which KTM you are riding. 790 Adventure? How is the comfort for such a long trip? There is a new 2021 KTM 890 Adventure S in the next town from mine, that I am really interested in. But I’ve heard mixed reviews about that model.
    Looks like a great trip in spite of rain. At least it’s not snow and ice. Keep the shiny side up!😎👍

  2. To bad you didn't go to Slovakia, btw we have a saying in Slovakia: "Every woman have to know how to cook, because love end beauty will vanish but schnitzel is here for forever, love KTM exhibition, nice riding as always, cheers V!

  3. I’m enjoying the series Tony.

    Curious though; I would suggest that you are a generation younger than myself. My Dad was just a teenager at the end of the war but did his National Service in 1950/52.

    You are either older than you look (compliment😉) or your Dad was ‘of an age’ when you came along🙂.

    As I get older, I find that I am more interested in the family history and wished that I had taken more notice of Dad’s many tales and stories when I was a youngster. All now sadly lost in the midst of time.

    Keep ‘em coming !

  4. Top video Tony! Some great scenery…and weather! 😁 The KTM tour looked cool. I owned a Duke 125. Cracking little bike. Maybe get one of the big ones soon…..

  5. Nice video Tony 📹, a lot for you to reflect on as you continue the trip…but being on your bike on your travels is the best way to get some space to think! Fingers crossed for the weather 🙏, cheers, Steve

  6. I’m catching up on your trip today. Will you be telling us about the cameras your using. I know it’s a go pro on the helmet but I’m not sure about the others

  7. Hi, my farther was at Stalag 8b up until 1942, then he was sent to Auschwitz for hitting a German officer. I wonder if you have the LAT/LONG from your Satnav you could send me because I Can`t find it on Google map. I would be very greatfull if you have as i would like to do the same as you have done. Thank You. Ben Pezet.

  8. Hi Tony! Nice video series! I am planning to visit the museum at mid of September. I will take a ship from Greece to Venice and then spend one week touring Austria. I own a 1290 Super Adventure S of 2018. One question! Is it safe to park your motorcycle in Austria? I intend of course to spend the nights in hotels with private parking. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
