Neahh... I just got extremely lucky that day.

I don't think it's a good idea as this is also called "the eviscerator". Just having a top case with a back rest it's enough for the pillion. Back in 2016 I had an accident and I hit the gas tank really hard while flying over a car. Hit the tank with my groin. Just take a look at the curvature...

I don't know yet. This might be a second year I don't get to enjoy long distance ride.

Touring:

I don't know how you can test it but a electrician should. I have a mechanic and don't do service to my own motorcycle. Before I leave on a long trip spanning for weeks, I just talk with my mechanic and we do the things we have to do. I remove everything that has a slight hint of wear (cables...

Usually it's enough to just do a propper inspection of the motorcycle. I don't think you'll meet any issues from the motorcycle, unless you encounter some special conditions such as high altitude or having to ride in scorching heat (above 38°C in cities). 15K km is a breeze for a well maintained...

Great images! Would love to ride that road...

I would so love to do a tour of the USA someday. Go for it!

You might look at the Sony FDR X3000. You have mic in jack, tripod mount and the 1080p@60fps it's just amazing. The camera has optical stabilisation. It's not as good as the latests Gopros but the Sony is far more reliable then the Gopros. I got two of them, first one since the spring of 2017...

Thank you all! The last 120km from our 2021 trip to Turkey. We are getting home to Romania from Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria: Hope to see you soon with a new trip!

Before leaving for Bulgaria we decide to go to the mall in Edirne to have a coffee and see what's there. Kitty was curious. After visiting the mall, where we were asked for our passports at the entrance, we went to the gas station to refuel and head for Bulgaria. The plan for the day is to...

We leave Istanbul for Edirne thinking we have all day for it. But we encounter quite serious traffic trying to get out of the city. I do the usual lane-splitting among the cars, although Kitty is not happy at all: The road to Edirne is not so spectacular and we take a few more stops along...

I usually look for hotels with private parking and I don't go on a long trip without a motorcycle cover. But this time I left without. I left the motorcycle overnight without a cover all over Turkey and I had no problems. They moved it in Edirne without my knowledge, I found the moto parked a...

After finishing the hippodrome we head to Galata. We wanted to go to the Spice Bazaar because you can find the best coffee there, at least that's what we think. You can find it on the alleys outside the bazaar. If you go there, you will see where it is after the queue that always exists there...

On the first full day of walking through Istanbul we leave for Hagia Sophia. We pass the Blue Mosque: Hagia Sophia Considered by some authors to be the eighth wonder of the late ancient world, Hagia Sophia is a glory of human constructive genius. It represented the center of the religious...
