[His Dudeness]

That's a serious distance for £900!

[rodyork]

That's a serious distance for £900!

Im now a fully paid up...card carrying Northerner you know ( even my posts squeak!)....and we collected our EU rebate personally as we went around...as you will see

[rodyork]

OK- A few have asked if I can post up by episode- so they can skip back or whatever....yesssirree!

Here's Ep2 & at the end it goes onto EP 3- which I will post up separately.

Thanks for your comments...keep an eye on what Sniper is buying as it goes through the episodes!

[rodyork]

OK people!
Here's ep3 this covers Hungary Slovakia & the famous Transfăgărășan in Romania...but Sniperos bike has a problem!...watch out for the wedding scene, an exciting melon opportunity and the village we stay outside, just before the Transfăgărășan
Have a good weekend everyone...next episode out tomorrow

I'm enjoying this series a lot! If you want to do another long distance trip with tons of luggage, please let me know - I modified my previous Fazer to tow a trailer, and have ample storage space (and want to put it to the test)!

(That bike is off the road due to a crash. But I still have the trailer and the Fazer towbar!!  )

This looks like a laugh, subbed Sir.

If you want to experience real hardship and adventure, just take Christo with you! 
Haven't had a chance to watch these yet, but will when I can.
 
Christo, things like this may be possible on a shoestring budget, but no one accepts debt in payment...at the rate you're saying you're gonna do this, that and the other, you'll have spent your life's wages before you get your first proper pay packet 

[ChristoT]

I'm guessing his next long distance trek won't be for a while. Project Fazer is number one, everythi.ng else is speculation - for now...

[Hedgetrimmer]

Still, no harm in having a few dreams I suppose, plenty of those myself - you should at least try to do some of them while you're still young/in one piece (kind of    ).

[ChristoT]

There's an old French story (that I can barely remember, admittedly) about a little boy who walked everywhere looking straight up at the sky. He bumped into a lot of things (don't say a feckin' thing!), fell down a lot of holes.

His brother was the opposite, always looking at the ground he was tilling or sowing, never stopping to appreciate the natural beauty. And he used to berate his brother for it.

One day, still daydreaming, the boy fell down a hole, and discovered a lost treasure.
Long story short, the dreamer's wishes came true (and I think at one point the hardworking brother is jailed - but later freed).

Looking forward to seeing the next episode.

ChristoT- your set up - sounds like an adventure on its own!...perhaps sponsored by a local removal company?

joking apart...thank you for watching- I really appreciate the comments- the work gone into it seems miles away when I get ANY feedback.

Thanks for subscribing everyone...( The Gentleman Biker- I have contacted you via youtube or Google+....whatever one)

[rodyork]

Ep4 is out (not in a gay way) 
If you have subscribed- then you will have it now.

ROMANIA ,BULGARIA, VARNA, BULGARIAN POLICE  & the BULGARIAN INTERIOR  -  The Romanian/Bulgarian border proves later to be quite an important checkpoint, after wild boar or  sniper playing the pink oboe keep me awake at night- we travel through the mountains only to discover the trip takes a terrible turn  My voice changes a little here as I see the trip start to unpick at the seams, while trying to keep Snipers spirits on a level!

Hope you all enjoy it & please keep posting comments- if you subscribe on youtube- I will even stalk you- if you would like!
