Eastern Europe July 08
 

Hi
Im travelling between the 14th july- 9th of August.
Im riding my motorcycle from the Uk across to poland and then down through hungary and romania to Bulgaria. Then i expect ill ride back to england via slovenia through germany and france. I plan to mix up camping and also staying at hostels along the way.

Im 27 year old aussie male living in the Uk. im riding my Suzuki DL 1000 Vstrom which should be more than capable of doing the journey.

for further details ive got a website and ive created a map at www.mblack977.com

if you are interested drop me a line id love to have another rider along.

Hi Matt;
I'll be in Krackow on 23rd and 24th, then heading into Slovakia to meet a mate at a rally on 25th and 26th (Tanec Slnka - Cruiser Moto Club Indians). If you want to meet up that would be good.

Hi Matt,

hi
 

Gday mate. My helmet is also Matt BLack:thumbup1:

I'm from the sunshine coast, QLD. Also working in UK, on the Isle of Wight. Tomorrow is my last day of work then 10th July catch a ferry to Denmark and spend the next 4 months riding around Scandinavia and Eastern Europe. Up Sweden and Norway, down Finland, St Petersburg, Baltics, Eastern Europe to Balkans then home. I won't be out of russia by the time you get back to the UK so won't cross paths this time.

You mentioned camping and hostels. Might I also suggest you try CouchSurfing
A huge network of people who have couches/spare beds/a backyard to pitch a tent on and are happy to host you to help out a fellow traveller and enjoy a cultural exchange. I've hosted about 10 people in the last year and will be enjoying other peoples hospitality (as well as camping and hostels) for my trip. There are plenty of bikers on the website as well (join the group motorcycle riders within the website).

I contacted a biking couchsurfer wrt my first night in Denmark and he said I was welcome to stay and I'd better make it for 2 nights as there was a local festival on and I'd be hungover the next day, haha. Lucky I've got plenty of time:clap:.

Let the good times roll, enjoy a safe trip
