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.

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

Beautiful country side,thanks.
Thanks Tony for taking us to places we shall never get to, boys and their toys, superb, ride safe and cherish the memories of all you have seen and done.
The beautiful brown Danube
Great video Tony, thankyou
Really nice to see my homebase through your eyes 🙂 Especially your path through Linz was funny to watch. It's my way to work.
AWESOME VIDEO AMAZING FANTASTIC ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Yes, if you have to ask one of the locals…”Is that a road ?”…..then it classifies as an adventure ride 😉.
A personal & fantastic adventure Tony! What an incredible experience for future generations 👍
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!😎👍
Heartrendingly humbling and no time to make it up
Only time to make new choices…as a result of…
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!
Glad the rain stopped, Tony. The bike's going well. Didn't spot my 390 in the KTM place!
What a ride something to remember .The local co op must have had an apple better than crisps dude.
Enjoying Tony !
What a great video, thanks for sharing
Great video Tony. Thank you for taking us with on your trip. 👌🏻
Too late, but there are two restaurants 50 meters from Coop (video 07:24). 😊 Ride safe 👍🏻
Wicked tour. How do you find the arai shade visor system?
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 !
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…..
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
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
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.
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!
