We used a trailer to get the bikes from Germany to BiH. So I don't have any experiences with renting a bike down there.

I have a question, If you don´t mind:

- About gas stations, is there any singularity like french g.s. or you just pay with cash and thats it. Do you make it by yourself or there is someone in charge of it?

gas stations
Cash is a "way to go" . Most of petrol stations are modern type and they do accept credit cards, all accept money (but you had to have local currency or you might have problems or they will overcharge you) . "Automatic" (without personal) are rare.

Quite a lot of petrol stations I visited on my trip had someone to put the fuel in for you, if busy though I sometimes did it myself. I paid cash all the time rather than use the card, I could keep an eye on what i was spending and I never got overcharged as you can see the price on the pump

Hi Gepetin:

All of the former Yugoslavian countries are well along the path to 'modernization'. Hence in all of them you will be able to find big gas stations that look exactly like the new stations in Spain - heck, even the Red Bull and the chocolate bars are in the same place on the shelves as in Spain.

At these newer stations, you can 'pay at the pump' with a credit card, and you can fill your own moto.

Of course, you can still find much older stations where someone will want to operate the pump for you (because it is very old, perhaps lacks an automatic shut-off), cash is preferred, etc. Just avoid stopping at those ones.

Perfect! Thanks Lonerider & PanEuropean, so not much differences with my petrol stations.
I have another question, if you don´t mind

I will reach and leave Slovenia from Zagreb, do I will need the slovenian vignette? almost sure but, do you know where do I can bought it?

Thanks in advance.

A little gift, this is an aproximation of my future route. I would preferred more Bosnia and even Serbia and Montenegro butttt...time and wife rules

You only need a Vignette if you intend on going on the Motorway or some Expressways. I didn't use them so I didn't get one. I prefer using small roads.
Have a look at this site, it explains it well, including where you can buy them from

Vignette - Toll Stickers - FAQ - Slovenia - Official Travel Guide -

I can't view the maps with out logging on to google?!!
