I think three hundred miles a day is a big day in eastern europe - and i am usually a mileage monster ( 600 - 700 miles at a time ) but there are no motorways , or those that are there arent finished and there are tons of trucks too . As everyone else has said , less will be defintely more

Thanks for the answer Chris.... I travel a lot in Germany with my work and the I've done the Munich to the Danish border trip twice in the last 3 weeks and yeah there are plenty of roadworks and tourist traffic, but Germany in April is a different story and the 1100kms from Munich to Odense (Denmark) takes roughly 10 or 11 hours that time of year both on in a car and on a motorcycle.
As for Eastern Europe yes this will be a challenge but roughly 400-425kms a day will be doable that we will make sure of one way or the other and that is why we are doing are best to iron out as many potential problems and hold ups as possible before we leave. I really appreciate your answers thanks. :-)
