There's a guy ADVRider that runs a bike rental company in Croatia (IIRC Scooby or something).

I highly recommend this kind of trip, Bosnia especially was probably my most pleasant surprise during all of my travels. Absolutely beautiful, and Sarajevo is really cool. Montenegro also seems nice, although Kotor was much more touristy than I expected. Had to kind of rush through Albania, so I missed a lot and hope to go back some day.

I looked at them. 650 Strom is $92/day. A month is 30 or 31 times that rate. And only 218 miles per day. I never communicated with them for a better rate.



Did I meet you at the Oasis in UB?

Ouch, that's expensive.

We might have met there, I was there in August 2013 on an XChallenge...I met several people there, what were you riding, or what's your real name?

I was there mid July, 2013 on a KLR. If I didn't meet you there I must have communicated with you here or on Adv.

Yes, we've probably communicated here; I used to live and travel in Russia, so posted quite a bit about that back in the day.

Well, I guess this thread is dead. Still no chance for me getting into Europe and riding. I'll have more time to plan. Try again next year after getting a vaccination.

We had clients flying in this year from US and riding in Europe and some of them outside as well.

It's doable, though you have to be flexible and patient enough because of the constant border crossing changes of regulation covid19 related.

Let me know if you need more info.

Uhm would you be so kind and show me on our website where do we say limited mileage and also where did you saw that price per day is the same as the price for longer time windows?

I have linked HUBB and ADVrider threads on our services and you can get a lot of info if you get in touch with us directly.

We're the only one stop shop service of such kind in Europe, providing bike purchase on EU plates, registration, insurance (we're insurance broker and only one that provides insurance for EU plated bikes owned by non EU residents), service, logistics, transport, mapping etc etc.

Direct email to get in touch:

info@lobagola-mototours.com
insurance@lobagola-mototours.com
tours@lobagola-mototours.com

We can source any motorcycle you would like to have and store it in our warehouse with many other bikes owned by our clients from US, CAN, NZ, Aus etc. We have our own rental and expedition touring fleet in that same warehouse, so trickle charging, bike running, tyre pressure is checked 2 times per month.

There is much more to say about us and our services, but you can check what our clients have said on our google my business page as well.

I believe that there is a mix up. I was referring to Rockermoto. Not Lobagola. If you find where I mentioned Lobagola being expensive, I will go back and edit that. I am starting a new file for the Balkans, and I will add your site to it so I can contact you next year. That is who I referred to about being expensive:

It was a minor mixup. All good now. I will revisit his site next year if the Covid has a short half life. His prices looked reasonable.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
