Hallo friends,
Finally I·m going on a little trip. It·s been a long time since my 70·s year long travels, and I·m wild about a 4 - 6 week ride!!!! =
I never plan a lot and don·t know bugger all about motorbikes (exept riding them). I even think that although a pain in the behind, having breakdowns on the way, gets You meeting people!
But I would like opinions about which way you liked the best: 1) dolomites, croatia, greece, romania, bulgaria, and back to Spain or: 2) austria, tchek republic, poland, the 3 little baltic countries , Finland, to north cape and back.
Which one would You recomend? (Lovely both of them, but for this trip, (which I hope will be the first of many, si Dios quiere, I hav·nt got more time.
Thank You - thank You eversomuch ladies and gentlemen--------
love is all we need.... Dan

Hi dan

All these countries are interesting - but you can go anywhere and make it interesting. Be confident in your own judgement - it's just as valid as anyone's.

Buen viaje

Thumbs up out into the unlimited horizons

Hi caminando (a donde vas tio)?
Offcourse You·re right --- I will fill up and go, and see where I end up.
I always did that before! Perhaps it·s just such a long time ago, that I·d forgot my own "modus operandi"!
Cheers .... Dan

I·m gonna swap these wheels for these wheelies ! Old - but beautiful.

All great destinations

I agree with Caminando, all the palces on your list have something incredible to offer. Since you have a little bit of time, I would recommend that if you really like a ride/place, stay and enjoy it rather than trying to rush to your next unknown adventure.

Have a great time, sounds like an awesome trip.

I vote for 1. Although, I'd probably go from A to SLO to RO, otherwise the trip will get very long, but as people have said, all these places are nice.

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.
