P.S.(to the headline) Heartbreking because it hapened without me (f@#$%&!):-). Therefore no more text here. Just enjoy with me.

This motivation poster I made about a motorcycle trip to the Carpathian Mountains (Ukraine, Romania). We started it on the sunny morning of June 28, 2008 three together but completed it in incomplete staff. One of us constained to return from midway. I was that one (@#$!&% 
). I will not flush here but two things I must to mention here – preparation and travelling companions. First of all preparation for the trip, especially concerning a vehicle. I’m not a tech guy and don’t like to tinker for hours in the garage. Of course I can manage a regular maintenance but this proved insufficient for the trip about 6000 km’s lenghtwise. I concluded for myself – if I fury like to knock about with my bike I must love it as my family member . Of course you can’t prepare for everything but more preparde you’ll be more comfotable you’ll fell in unforseeable circumstances. Secondly – travelling companions. Actually I will not say nothing but thank you guys (Leonid, Sergey) for support and patience. They seated with me two days in the Ivano Frankovsk (Ukraine) while local Edissons reconstructed a camshaft for my Dominator so that I can get home. They stand by my side and of course sermonized about keeping in order a vehicle. I will gad about with these two more (of course if they will want:-)). So, enjoy some moments of the trip. Those will keep my motivation to return to Karphatians again.

I made this motivation poster/movie for upkeeping my motivation to come back to the work on an enduro track that we started last year. It stared from a quick brain-child in winter of 2008 about using a grassland, firebreaks and old logging passes within the wood of my ancestries for creating an enduro track for self enjoyment and improvement of riding skills. Sometimes it happens in life – concerning to driving there’s no problem to find confederates, but what concerning some work… However involvement came from an unexpected side – two eleven and nine years old persons extended a honest involvment into the further trend of events. With two so selfmotivated baterries:-) such skeptic like me rejoin an array. This motivation poster is dedicated to my boys through and through with true appreciation.
“Our greatest natural resource is the minds of our children.”
Walt Disney
“The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s deserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together”.

We use that kind of holiday rides often. These advetures are maybe short and simple but if you will invest a bit of invention in your route planning or/and tools of moving, these can kick some depressive or all hard working week dog-tired ass very well. Impressions from this will be enough to await next weekend. The hardest part is to understand itself that this ride maybe will tired you physically but it will free you from the working day weariness.
“In that world you’ll be able to rise in the morning with a spirit you had known in your childhood: that spirit of eagerness, adventure and certainty which comes from dealing with a rational universe”.

This is one of my motivation posters to take along with me from 2008. This short and crappy movie was made just by my average Olympus and Windows Movie Maker and an adventure itself took about 70 bucks for juice, boat rental and a half of a litre of vodka (just don’t try to utilize it before you finish your run!!! No smily here! Period.) We solicited sandwiches from our girls therefore those weren’t include into expenses .
Maybe some of you will feel incompehension about this naive and unprofessional clip, some – will chessed off but I hope some of you will feel the taste. I just have to push a play button in a moment I want to feel feelings of that moment. Those were friendship, power and fun (eee… it was wery cold too but above-mentioned wipe it out). Listen, people! No matter how it looks matter is what feelings it gives you.
I supposed you understood that I didn’t talk about MY current moyivation poster (of course I’ll be glad if you like it too). I talked about a story that YOU can make for YOURSELF. Of course I’ll be cheerful if you will decide to share it on my blog. That’s all folks! Will see on tracks!
P. S. Without all above mentioned this is a totally recession proof too. Impressions from that kind of adventures (cheap and local) can bring you no less enjoyment than high-priced tour to somewere.
