Without further ado, I would like to dedicate this photo album to my father, because most likely without him it would not exist. I took my motorcycle driving exam back in 2010 and yet, I only used it a couple of times while traveling around Asia in 2016 and 2017. Everything changed two years ago...
Back in the day, when dad was my age, not every young man could afford a car, but it was kind of a matter of honor to own a motorcycle. The one motorcycle to rule them all at that time was the so-called JAWA which used to be made in the modern-day Czech Republic.
Long story short, dad had at least three of those. Two of them got stolen and the third one did not survive until this day. Many years later, the company got new owners, and the production of new JAWA motorcycles was transferred to India. Since they had a sales representative in Lithuania, Dad bought a brand new JAWA 640.
Speaking of motorcycles and speaking of India, one year later he bought Royal Enfield Himalayan. For many years Royal Enfield was a well-known British motorcycle manufacturer. In later years it was bought by guys from India too. They designed many new models that proved to be very reliable.
Two motorcycles need two drivers. That is how I ended up riding beside my dad. All these photos were taken during Motorcycle Season 2022. Some of these trips were taken by my dad alone. The main video was filmed during ''Baltic Jawa 2022''. Enjoy!
