www.bikergirl.me<< for all backdated posts

So a month later and I'm finally ready to start posting. Sorry for the delay!

I was originally thinking about posting up all of my old posts on here so that by the time I left again for Europe you would have caught up with all my adventures. But it seems preparations were more complicated than I thought, and now I'm out of time before I leave to start riding again (2 weeks).

With that in mind I'm going to skip backdating and just start posting on here as things unfold. You can check out all my stories from last year on www.bikergirl.me

Update:

Flight booked today. After six months of saving and preparations I'll be back in Budapest on the 18th of April to resume riding in Europe. Hurrah!

Since I flew home to Australia in October, I've had a couple of setbacks. The most painful being the miscommunication of my bike's insurance. Without me knowing, my insurance ran out and my bike was automatically deregistered by Germany. I was all the way over here and my bike was all the way over in Budapest, alone and unridable and there was nothing I could do anything about it :(

So after six months of straddling three different languages, logistics and legal systems and getting absolutely nowhere, I have one choice left: fly back to Budapest and wing it like I did last year.

Here's to hoping I can find a mechanic to road worthy my bike and a friendly Hungarian to register it in their name.

Stay tuned I guess. If it's a flop, at least I told you so first.
