I have a completely fake FB account for viewing menus etc without getting the annoying login pop up, so I'll stalk you with that, but given I don't actively use it, reminders here will be handy .

(I use 'Photo & Picture Resizer' app to shrink photos to post here)

Finally clicked on the FB link !! (not cos I don't have FB, just cos this week has been looong and I didn't have the brain to take in a trip like this even from a distance !!!)

Bloody awesome ! Am very envious

Totally makes me want to plan something for when I do actually have a bike again (others that have done trips have also made me want to, I'm slightly limited physically, depending on the bike, but I can just plan a shorter trip with shorter days!!) - I'm kinda lucky to already be close to some other countries

Might use some of my winter breaks at various airports to make a plan - we get quite a lot of holiday here, so I could do the Manx GP with some mates here and also a little tour of some countries near here. I've been promising God some bacon for bloody years, so I guess Croatia is a must do stop

Love the pics @Trinity765 the trip looks totally awesome

I am lucky to have a chance to do it. I knew I had to get to Romania by 2nd September latest but apart from that I didn't have a plan. It's going so much better than I could have planned it anyway

Great stuff. Reading this and after popping into my local(ish) dealer today means that the ST 765 R (not RS) has now made it onto my new bike list. Along with the new 25 model Trident as well.

Enjoying the f/b posts.

Following on FB. Loving it

This evening. Getting drunk with the bikes and that's how it's going to be until 11th September

Now that's a garage!
Place you did the Transfargarian tour from by any chance (going by the 400s)?

Yes it is. I organise trips and tours for a club I am in and I have two groups coming over to join me from 2 September. We have arranged a couple of KTM 790s as well as the Svatpilens.

Today I am going solo to Brasov. Then I will be stopping at friends of friends in a village for the night. The couple where I am staying are setting up a dining/wine experience in the hills. They purchased a beautiful vineyard with great views and bought an oak barn which they moved it 30km. It's an incredibly project.

Sounds like a cracking trip.

I thought I would try the 73A to 1E

That looks properly mental Let us know if it lived up to expectations...

Great twisty roads and scenery and it's obviously a biker Mecca as I saw lots of bikes. The problem was traffic, lots of traffic on the major and minor roads. If you wanted to get a move in it would have required constant overtaking Apparently this is a (kind of) bank holiday weekend and the children are off school still. So, Brasov would be a great base for a biking trip but off season.

Sounds like the germ of A Plan to me...

I loved Brasov last year - way more than the capital. Some lovely places to eat/bars there too: 'Juno wine garden' was ace, if you're still there!

Hello!

I have just completed the first of the two trips I am leading here and everyone had a fantastic time. Trip two are arriving in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

I haven't had time to take pictures but have borrowed these from a friend with their permission. They were taken on the Transfagarasan.

[Trinity765]

P.S. Daytime temperatures have been consistently above 26c with no rain since I got here.

[Sunny]

Nice!
Too soon to ask where you're heading to after you've finished leading the next tour?

(This is making me get proper itchy for a European tour. It's been a while. It's also the wrong end of the year, but hey, that gives me planning time )

Looks

Road surface a bit sketchy in places?

You could do a cracking, pretty unique, competition on that road. Might be a few issues with safety but they manage other road races here and there.
