Hi from Bosnia to everyone
Hi,
I'm 36, male, from Bosnia, married, have one son. Even though I joined HUBB almost a year ago I am introducing myself just now. Probably I've waited to buy motorcycle and I finally got my new 2014 Yamaha Xt660z Tenere.
I have ridden sport bikes before ( in my early twenties), '01 Kawa Ninja 600, later '04 Suzuki GSXR 750 but they weren't what I looked for. I sold my bike and retired from motorcycling for a few years ![Nono](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/nono.gif) ( switched to blue '70 VW Beetle )
Now, my bags are ready, tent and sleeping bag too, but waiting to arrive new Tech's 10 and AGV ax8 evo and then ![Scooter](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/scooter.gif) ..... we'll see, depends on free time... can't wait
Regards !

zdravo!
Bosnia is on my list of places to visit, i was speaking about this to my well traveled slovak friend and he told me if i go i should go see the Bosnian Pyramids which after a quick google search seem pretty cool
When i first decided i would like to travel on a motorbike i started to pay real attention to all the bikes i saw and whilst living in Perth (Australia) outside a local shop in fremantle i saw a Xt660z and the owner came out who was Spanish
He then told me he is riding this bike back to Spain from Australia in a few months and whilst telling me about his route he let me sit on his bike which made me feel like i was coming with him also
When ever i see a Xt660z i always think about this guys trip.
Well in the end i went with a DRZ which to be fair suites me better
So what route do you plan on your trip?

Dave,
no problem, I would be glad to help.
There's lots of nice roads over here and lots of places to visit, especially if you can take some light off road.. with your GS it wouldn't be a problem at all
Cheers

WesleyDRZ400,
if you are coming here, don't forget to visit Lukomir (Bjelasnica Mountain), Rakitnica Canyon, Prokosko Lake ..... and eat a ''cevapi'' at Plava voda in Travnik....
regarding my plans, I would start easy, get familiar with bike and take weekend trips, do some wild camping and explore nearby region.
I travel a lot doing my work and I saw lots of countries I wish to visit and explore on bike, like Romania, Montenegro, Turkey.... but my dream ride would be to travel Silk Road... (wishes, wishes )

It'd be great to drink a ![beer](https://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/images/smilies/beer.gif) or 2 when I ride through Bosnia this summer. It's likely to be mid July.
Best wishes
