Crossed into Romania on our way to Transfaragasan through Hungary. Lots of trucks at the crossing, but just rode on past them. Once over the border, was about to speed off, when the driver in the car in front cautioned me to slow down. Sure enough, cop with radar a few km's up the road. Once past, the car driver waved me on by. In the time we were in Romania (in fact the entire 5,000km trip through 10 countries), we were never hassled by the police once. One of the cops at the edge of a town even signalled to us to show him some wheelies (declined, just in case he was looking to catch us out). The riding in Romania was an absolute pleasure (compared to all the highway up till that point) and the people friendly. Planning on heading back there in the summer (but this time shipping the bike there and avoiding the long haul on boring highway/autobahn)
