"In the capital watch out for oil in the road it was quite bad,"
Four years ago, on a similar route to Turkey, rosa del desierto and I rode through Albania on 2 G650gs BMWs. Perfect bikes for Albania - with ABS off...
From my notes on Albania, Buying motor oil in Albania - look for a garden hose braced up in an empty lot and spouting a stream of water skyward, with young men standing about smoking, or a young man spraying you with the garden hose as you ride by. This is an Albanian "car wash," they also wash trucks. Motor oil, car parts, even some bits and pieces for motorcycles can be found at each "car wash" or can be sent for by runners dispatched from the "car wash."
My favorite Albanian architecture was the multi floor buildings with the side facing the road sheered off and Albanians sitting with feet dangling from each of the open floors. We really enjoyed our ride through Albania, the people were very friendly.
While riding in Albania, please don't get distracted from admiring Albanian drivers by admiring the architecture, even if the legs dangling from one of the floors belong to one of the very beautiful women of Albania.
The cautions expressed here about unexpected changes in road conditions and unexpected driving habits of the Albanians should be heeded.
