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!

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!!  )

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

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

....NO, I take it all back....this has more comedic value than I thought possible.
You are in...lets get planning...if it all goes pear shaped- we have a coffin in tow already....great plan ChristoT

[rodyork]

When ya going?

Im not sure yet- I have put up a survey on my site to establish where people want to go/for how long & at what cost etc.
I then need to do some serious planning etc...I wouldn't have thought for the next 4 months.
You interested?
