anyone here done a motorcycle backpacking trip. I just found out my mates mate rode from Oz to Uk worked here for 2 years, then shipped his bike to South America and now he's there riding around.

I really like the sound of this, and would like to speak to someone about the ups and downs, experiences etc....

Starting in Sofia, Bulgaria. BMW 650 GS Dakar is costing me 1300 Euro roughly for 25 days (www.motoroads.com). Road taxes in each country will cost a little extra.

Any riders out there wanna join up? I'm flexible with what I wanna do.

Wanna hit the markets in Istanbul, check out Auschwitz in Poland, Dracula's castle ruins in Transylvania, ancient ruins of Greece, beaches along the mediterannean - namely Croatia... Check out Budapest, Split, Sarajevo, Warsaw, doesn't really matter, museums, art galleries, good eating, historical sites, tourist attractions, well kept town secrets, micro-breweries, nightclubs.

looking to stay in hostels/inns/or camp out to keep costs down, but do a hotel in a major city once a week to recoup

Let me know what you think. wuzzittgunnab@hotmail.com
