As we face a winter of discontent I thought I'd cheer myself up and hopefully some of the readers by dragging out some photos from our 2008 trip to Romania, David T and I on Commandos (proving Classic bikes can be a viable alternative to adventure bikes or worse, a van) .
Today the French are stopping movement across the Border which is quite depressing, the virus is mutating so its all a bit shit for everyone, mind you I have seen people mutating after too much alcohol and that too is dangerous.
I hope despite the constant barrage of doom and gloom you can all raise a glass at Christmas (and New Year) and any day in between to remember absent friends who for whatever reason never got to enjoy old age, those that are enjoying older age, keep it up, keep riding your bike and planning the journeys, its never been more important!
The Romania trip was conceived in the Winter of 2008 and David decided to join us, he left a couple of days earlier than us and enjoyed sunshine all the way, we enjoyed pissing rain until we met David in Slovenia then it was great after that. En route to Slovenia Fi and I had a coming together which needed repairs to both bikes, luckily near our friends Tomas and Andrea's house in Germany. From Germany we headed to Austria, Slovenia to meet David, Croatia to meet the worst biting insects ever, Bosnia to meet suspicious people, Serbia to meet very grumpy border guards and then Romania to meet most of the people who now live in the UK.......
Pictures as always, better than my narrative
