AMAL member Steve Koch participated at the SeekerRaid 2000 this summer. Here's what he experienced during the rallye:<\/em><\/p>\n

This summer, I participated in the SeekerRaid in Bosnia and Montenegro. It\u2019s an \"Adventure Raid\" with over 80% off-road routes for motorcycles built before 2000. I rode my 1992 DR650, which I had \"prepared\" a bit (shorter gearing, new suspension), knowing that the terrain there would be rougher than here. The raid itself lasted six days, covering a total distance of around 1000 km. You had to arrange your own food and accommodation. The \"base camp\" was at a campsite each night, but I, along with others, stayed in fixed accommodations outside. The start and finish were in Konjic (about 60 km south of Sarajevo) at the Garden City Hotel (the first and last nights in the hotel\/apartment were included in the price).<\/p>\n

On Sunday, July 21st, the registration process began, during which everyone received a mandatory GPS tracker and the sticker with their start number. You could also sign up (for an additional fee) with the photographers to have photos taken of you during the raid. In the evening, as on every following day, there was a briefing where the next day's route was explained (notable sights, dangerous spots, gas stations, etc.).<\/p>\n
