Hi Johnny,

   sounds like a great trip, planned something similar myself but only got as far as Croatia, as was just too far in the time allowed.

  How long will your trip be, how many miles a day, m-ways/tolls or the scenic route. Any must see places/museums etc. Are you timing it to incorporate the GP or WSB at Brno.
 
   Fit new tyres before you go,

im planing 4 weeks. that include a week with family in Turkey. 1 week down and 12 days back. On the way down i plan to do a Iron butt Saddle Score doing North of Denmark to Budapest (1680km) in 24 hrs. If i can do that i only need a avrage of 400km the next 6 days. Depending on work i might have more time. But the 12 days going back should give me time for some sightsing.

I dont have much set points i want to see. dont know much about the area. but would like to ride  Transfagarasan . I understand it might not be open this early but that should only be the top. Or Transalpinia Im a war history buff so need to reserch that and see if there is anything special i wana se. My daughter is into Vampiers so might need to find Count Vlads castle and get here som pics

Coman how much time did you have?

My tyres have 2/3 left. was hoping not to replace them before leaving but buy new somwhere down there. Will be cheeper then Norway to, evrything is

Hi Johnny,

    I only had 2 weeks, Essex to Calais to Poland to meet mate coming from Stockholm. Down to Brno for the MotoGP. Trundle thro' Slovak, etc to Split. Ferry to Ancona for the WSB at Vallelunga, Trundle thro Europe, mate heads N to home, I head E to home.

        Really fancy the trip to Turkey (I would love to do Afghanistan as it was in the 60's-70's) (watch the Man Who Would Be King with Sean Connery and Michael Caine, great country with great scenery and great people before religion reared its ugly head), but finding mates who can afford the time or the cost of a trip like that is difficult.

Not into the Iron Butt thing, clocking up miles just for the sake of it. If I am travelling I want to see the country and its people and thats means very flexible timetable. I never pre-book rooms apart from the race meet accom' .

Have a good safe trip and as they all say post pics upon your return

the iron butt thing is only becurse i want to cover some miles the first day and i have been to this area many times before. and want more time on the route after Budapest. So i thought why not give it a go :)
I wish i had a mate that would do somthign like this with me, but all my mate think a 2 hr ride is a realy long ride :)

[JohnnyTh]
