“ Passion and Curiosity !
JENS LYCK
What’s it all about ?
Did the ”Passion and Curiosity” quote make you stop for a second and wonder what this site is about ?
Motorcyclelife.eu is documenting my motorcycle trips across most of Europe as well as modifications and improvements on my bikes.
It’s my hope that the content on the site will inspire other people to visit new places on their motorcycle – it’s such a great way to travel.
Motorcycles are all about passion, and the urge to travel and explore new places is caused by curiosity – So the quote describes the contents of the site in just two words.
You have now been warned about what is ahead – enjoy the site 🙂

Potholes …
This one is actually marked with an orange pole !
Abandoned communist sanatorium city…
Tskaltubo was a russian prestige city with castle-like hotels and mineral water sanatoriums all over the city. Plenty of parks, wide tree lined roads, and statues and monuments everywhere.
When Georgia was liberated in 2001 and the russian tourists disapeared, there was no longer money or need to maintain the beautiful buildings, and most of them were abandoned.
Some of them have been brought up to standard again and the tourists are slowly returning, but there are still plenty of buildings that have not been used or worked on since 1991.
Turning point …
Ushguli is actually the place where I turn the bike around and I am now on my way home.
Time to celebrate with a cold beer 🍺
Trying the eastbound gravel track …
I had to give up and turn the bike at 2600 meter height where the track became too muddy.
The 4WD jeeps mabaged to get a little higher before they had to give up, and a 6ton 4WD truck was stuck up there and needed local help to get out.
It is still too early to get through on this road, but it was fun to see how far you could go.
Christian borderland …
This small chapel marks the outer edge of the Christian world.
It is the last church, in the last village, in the last valley.
On the other side of the mountains, the babarians lived 😳
Road to Ushguli …
From Mestia you go east through the valleys of the high Kaukasus mountains (aprox. 50 km)
The roads gets worse and worse and you have to cross e few streams on the way.
Ushguli is the last village and the road stops here. (Apart from a 3000 meter high gravel track that is only open a few months every year)
