deadly trip storey lads, written as only Irish can, lol.
I've shown it to many, now Lasse is inspired to ride off too.

Thanks guys, I'm really glad our trip is inspiring people to get out and do this themselves.

Lasse I wished I had more time in Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia. They are absolutely stunning countries. But we were low on time after Ado's crash. (I also believe sarajevo is a great spot and I would have liked to have made it there.) I would have also liked more time in Lake Garda in northern Italy. That was lovely.

After driving down Italy I took a ferry from Bari (italy) to Bar (montenegro). This crossing took about 7-8 hours I think. I remember it being slightly expensive. Maybe €100 for me and the bike.

My advice is to relax and enjoy the places you visit and the people you're with. Try not to take on too much. Due to unforseen circumstances (nothing will ever go to plan) we rarely had the time enjoy where we were but instead had to keep always moving. What you won't see on the video is all the craic we had on the bikes over the autocoms. If you are traveling on a bike make sure you can always talk to your friends, if we did the same trip but without being able to have talk on the bikes we would have never been in good spirits about the driving.

Lastly DO NOT, EVER, EVER travel on a motorbike with eggs for your breakfast in the same pannier as your clothes.

I'd also like to point out that despite what it says on the videos apperantly I really DO NOT snore !

Good advice.

When travelling the alps this summer we were also always on the move. I think it is hard to slow down when you don't want to miss anything.

3 great videos....well worth watching.
Just out of curiosity though, as a rough ballpark figure how much do you reckon the whole trip cost you each (apart from the bike repairs)!!!

Hey Chris.

I'd say we did about 7 - 7.5 thousand kilometres. Which would be about €750 in fuel each. We camped some nights and when not camping we got fairly cheap hotels or private rooms in hostels. I'd say we lived on about 60 euro a day (not including fuel) which is about €2000 for 5 weeks. With another few hundred (300?) for ferries and some money for the autocoms so we could talk to each other. I'd say we did it for about €3300-€3500 each not including ados bike repairs.
