Advice ? Allow more time than you think. Be sensible with the mileage / hours.

as above, some long days there but if that's your thing go for it,
I would try to spend some time in Sarajevo its an amazing place,
the route you have from Belgrade into Romania looks great but take a look at following the Danube down to Drobeta-Turnu Severin,

None of your day totals look that difficult but you look to be spending most of your holiday mixing it with the cars in the fast lane. By the time you allow a couple of hours to get going in the morning and a similar time to unpack, settle in etc in the evening there's not going to be much time left to actually do anything.

My advice would be to pick somewhere you like on the route and stop there for a few days - explore the area, check out the restaurants, beaches, whatever you like. Then either cut a few corners on the way back or put in a few longer days on the autobahn.

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.
