BOSNIA OR BUST

[Essex Boy]

And one more photo. (Told you I can't stop now).

This is in Northern Bosnia again and is proof that the Politican and Ethnic problems are still ongoing, but just not thought of these days. Serbian flags in Bosnia to de-note the Republika of Srbska areas, still controlled for and on behalf of Serbians living there, is constant proof of what is bubbling under the surface.

Villages still lay in ruins all around, Bombed, shot up, and mined .....just 17 years ago this horror was happening, and now we holiday there. 8,000 murdered in cold blood in Srebrenica just a few miles up the road. No wonder I wasn't sure about being left behind by my mates to take pictures.

Thought evoking photos there.

[Essex Boy]

Sorry Rusty for late response, I have sent you an email to home address thanking you for help. I was out last night looking after some Icelandic guys.

Cheers for help, hope you liked the photos.

Hope you liked them Lonewolf. I always try to read up a little about the places I am going to and the recent history of Yugoslavia's breakdown into total chaos from 1990 to the current 'peace' but with all kinds of things simmering below the surface is simply shocking. In many ways I sometimes feel a little guilty being a tourist taking snaps of what frankly were areas of huge suffering.

With thanks to Nigelp to show me how to get photos on the System. Won't stop me now !!!

BTW , my 2 fellow travellers in the pictures, Dickie and Graham.

sounds like you had a excellent trip, I did the french,swiz alps and italy on my zzr1400 and I can't think of a better bike to do it on, taking all sorts of riding into consideration that is..! love to take my new zx6r around the alps but getting there would most likley finish me off but I'm going again in august but on the gtr1400. sorry about the obvious following question, but dose your zzr1400 shake with the panniers and rear ruck sack removed? the reason I,m asking I had a fair bit of weight on my zzr1400 over the rear end and it made no difference, the zzr1400 is very front heavy, so my first guess would be front wheel balance. can't see it being warp discs if your not getting a pulsing feeling through the brake lever when braking!

Hi 2Kwacks. To be honest got off the ZZR1400 and parked it in the garage, washed her the next day and still haven't ridden her since the holiday. Been back on the GTR for my commuting. However the ZZR is booked onto a dyno tester at Essex Performance in Basildon on Saturday so I will ride her there and check that wobble minus the heavy back end opanbnier and kit.

Will then post up the result here. Going on the rolling road cos I am p*ssed off to the point of chucking the bike because of this noise that is so irritating that it ruins my ride (at 2,800 revs normally) but Kawasaki can't hear for some strange reason.

Last time they said to me, "Why do you ride at  3,000 revs on a ZZR ?", because said I that they should try riding a ZZR at 6,000 revs around town !. Duh.

It's real world sometimes.
Anyway Essex Performance have said £20 for 15 minutes on their rolling road.

Think I might talk about putting back on my new set of exhausts and getting it power commanded if we can sort the noise and find £500 !.
