In November 2020 I took part in the Harley-Davidson Korea national tour, a five-day ride around South Korea organised by Harley-Davidson Korea and starting from Yongin (용인). The riders were divided into three groups, A, B and C.

What I remember
It is a long time ago, but a few things stayed with me.
I had a wonderful time riding, although I didn’t talk much to the other riders because of the language barrier. The food and the accommodation were perfect.
One day it poured with rain from start to finish. On another day I left my wallet with my credit cards in a coffee shop at a rest area and had to ride back to get it.
The most exciting moment was when we raced at full throttle, at 170 km/h.
