Ok Point nr 3 if you will take higway than it easy to come to Kraków
Poin nr 4 it possible but you should be only on main road(highway) , From Kraków shortest way to Bielsko-Biała- Cieszyn , don't use main roads until Bielsko. From there you have highway Cieszyn-Brno , from Brno-Znojmo -Tuln-Salzburg .You will enter highway before Sankt Christophen.In this poin you have only 150 lm max on polish roads. Highway in Czech is free for motorcycle
Polish road are very good if you have GS and time .
If you need more information ask.

Regards MArek

I've a few Polish friends, been there both with and without them. It's actually worth taking a look at the places near Oswiecim in the old industrial heartland of Poland - it was the area the soviets used to use for most of their energy and steel needs, and still retains much of its (slightly depressing) industrial heritage relatively unmodernised or touched by 21st century gentrification.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Krakow is a lovely place - if you get a chance call in at Wroclaw which I preferred to Krakow as it has fewer Brits abroad!

+1 For Wroclaw. Polianica zdroj in the Klodzko valley was my base the three or four times i've been to Poland, it's a spa resort town with some damn good eating if you're passing, some real good roads up in the mountains around there too. Klodzko castle and tunnels also worth a visit, if you not too claustrophobic.
