AROUND THE WORLD WITH SCOTT ONROAD
10 6月 2016
Mirka is 27 and motorbikes are her big passion. She is always keen on beating her limits. What she cannot achieve with power, she will accomplish with her enthusiasm and optimism. If she fulfils this dream of the round-the-world journey, she would become the very first Czech young woman to do such a thing. Challenge accepted.Vojta is 29 and he is a dreamer, a procrastinator. He likes photo/videography and riding his motorbike. He enjoys travelling and decided to go on this journey without time limits. As a consequence he packed up his bike and his girlfriend to make it a journey of a lifetime.
Everything started last winter. Mirka and Vojta began creating travel plans for the long anticipated motorcycle journey. As there were uncountable places on their bucket list the decision was easy – why not go all around the world? The couple quit their job, sold their apartment and car and after proper preparations they headed out. Mirka and Vojta are on the road right now and just have crossed Turkey, going into Iran. Further destinations will be Georgia, Armenia, different Central Asian states, Mongolia and Japan to be reached in autumn. After crossing the ocean the journey will be continued in America.
Obviously, what is very important on such a long trip, where you face different climate zones and weather conditions, is the right motorbike gear. Quality motorcycle clothing for all weather conditions was a major requirement for the Czech couple and this is where SCOTT with its distributor Moto Palic, located in Czech Republic, stepped into this amazing story.Mirka and Vojta went into the shop with the intention just to buy replacement screws for their helmet but as fate wanted, the sales person Mr. Lhotský was very interested in their plans. As he clearly prefers the premium Onroad gear from SCOTT, he suggested sponsoring one outfit (Dualraid DP and Ergonomic Pro DP) for each of them.
“Without any expectations we went to check out the SCOTT Onroad clothes, finding that this gear was simply the best for our purpose. I cannot describe what we experienced but I am sure everybody knows this feeling of being in the right place at the right time. I am quite short from the size so it is difficult to find good Onroad gear. To my positive surprise I am the first girl in Czech Republic that gets the opportunity to wear a complete SCOTT Onroad outfit for women.” (Mirka)
The Dualraid DP from SCOTT is redefining adventure. It is the best choice for long adventures where durability, ventilation and comfort are a necessity. The Dualraid jacket has more features built into it than a Swiss army knife. With a removable dryosphere thermalliner, removable Sas-Tec protectors and a breathable, wind- and waterproof construction riders can custom fit this jacket to any condition. All these features make it a great companion for Mirka and Votja on their world tour.
Also the SCOTT Ergonomic rain jacket and pants are reliable travel partners. They are best suited when Mother Nature unleashes her fury. Featuring a stretchable and breathable outer material with laminated DRYOsphere membrane for perfect fit and comfortable wind/weather protection, it also delivers minimum packing volume.
