Hi Zimon,

You certainly have done some planning for your trip and it sounds wonderful.
Myself and Russell will be riding through that part of the world in May/June 2011 as well and we should hook-up.

We havent got our route that well planned, we just know we want to go from London to Hong Kong/Singapore in May-June next year. We are doing it to raise money for breast cancer here in Australia.
See our website here: The Pink Way Round :: Home :: :: A motorcycle odyssey by two Australians half way round the world to raise money for breast cancer

Other that the Transfagarasan in Romania we dont have the route planned as yet, other than Prague and Paris. We would like to do a bit of Italy as well but may not have the time - we have only 10 weeks. What made you decide the route you have planned - was it exploratio, riding experience or scenery?

Also of note we will be riding Transalps, not as flash as yours though

- ours are '88 models but still a hell of a lot of fun!

Send me a PM and let me know the dates you will be in Romania, and surrounding countries and perhaps our Trannies can get together and talk about how bad riders we are! Looking forward to doing this

Cheers,
Tricky

Thank you people for all your generosity and kindness, and fantastic advice on my route planning!!!

Here is a short video diary of my trip planning:

I am riding in aid of the UK mental health charity Mind. If anyone wishes to donate to Mind by sponsoring me to ride this adventure, they can do so by visiting:

Zimon,

I have just got back from a 'little' ride in which we came back from Croatia via Slovenia and rode along the western border parallel with the Italian border and then along the Soca valley to Bovec, this is a spectacular ride on quiet roads, from Bovec we headed to Kranjska Gora to cross into Austria another brilliant road but the road the other side of the border was closed so we had to turn round and cross via Tarvisio. Slovenia is a superb destination...enjoy!

Oh and you may want to pack a really decent rain suit along with your sunnies!

I will try to add some pics when I figure out how to resize 'em..
