Thanks for all the added info, looking forward to it. I have just under 8 weeks so I am not really sure how far down I will get before I have to start heading North again

Hi Wayne,
I agree most with Vaufi and Francs of course
If you stick to the coast and island you can experience great weather but also rain is possible. Be careful of the northern wind called Bura which blows in gusts and can move you to left lane in a second! Temps should be up to 15 degres cels.
Inland you can experience more rain, lower temps and on some mountain passes even snow, so plan wisely.
Let us know if you need any detailed info.
Safe travels,
Dooby

Thanks very much, I will. I will be doing a RR so please pass on any info you can, I am in no great rush and if I come across any snow I will look for an alternative route. But I do intend on being inland, central Bosnia and the Durmitor area and also the coast namely round Kotor, Budva and Ratac, I also hopefully will get to Macedonia. I am taking decent kit, so fingers crossed.
I might even get to Zagreb, it been years since I was there, late 90's and we went to the airport after a stop in the city

I usually had snow in the mountains of Montenegro and Albania in last week of october first week of november. Above 1400 m in the mountains temps can be 0/-5 deg cels and with wind chill factor it can drop down even more.
Plan your ride smart, bring good kit with you, and make a b option in case of troubles. Post here or on your RR thread if you need any specific info,
cheers

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. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
