I'm soaking up the sun and warmth whilst watching this in the January cold and damp of a UK Winter :)

Hey, great video and what a trip! We did a similar one in September '21. From Bari, Italy to Dubrovnik, and then all through the Adriatic coast before turning inland to Plitvice Lakes. WOOOW! What an amazing trip that was. Thanks for this reminder. I have to put up our Croatia video soon!

Regards from Split, Croatia☺️

Wow, preventative policing to reduce crime. Stuff dreams are made off in the UK

About speed cameras and police, there is a tolerance, so up to 100kmh its a 10kmh tolerance, meaning you can do 60 in a 50, 50 in 40 without being fined and if you include that most speedos show higher then real speed you are more then safe. Over 100kmh is 10% tolerance.

I'm sold what a place to ride amazing roads and views. This is now on my bucket list. Cheers and thanks for the videos. :-)

Great riding roads in both countries, crossed at the same border as you, no problem and we found most EU border posts off the the main routes either un-manned or demolished👍 If you are riding a UK reg bike then no need to worry about speed tax collectors as the the UK does not now share vehicle info, you lucky lot!!

Croatian coast road is possibly the best road…… ''In the world '' 😁

Terrific video. I do have one question though. Wouldn't a long runway leading into the side of a mountain have been a dead giveaway there was an airbase inside the mountain? Doesn't matter now I guess- what matters is that Slovenia has great scenery and great riding!

Another great adventure, do you plan on doing a chickenstrips adventure next season? Croatia seem to have recovered a bit from years past. You should do a podcast with the boys from this trip. Just saying! Cheers!

When I look outside right now (lousy cold, rainy and foggy - translated ... typical British weather, right in the middle of Germany) I can't help myself but I have to hate you a bit for this video Bruce even if it was done last year ;). Don't worry, it won't last long, I'm just envious. Man what a beautifull scenerie and what an awesome day you've had. Just one question not related to this vid. What about your custom painted lid? Any news on the progress? Seems like forever since the last update on this or did I just missed it?

Quality that one Bruce. What do you do to prepare for a long day in such heat on a bike you don’t normally ride. I’m assuming just do it but wondered if there are any tips or tricks

Aye you just get on with it and crack on bud - there’s no easy fix 🤷‍♂️ One bit of advice I’d give though is to keep hydrated as often as you can. When you fill up with fuel make sure you grab a bottle of water or something like that, then make sure you have a drink as often as you can throughout the day 👍

Croatia is in Schengen from 01.01.2023. so no borders from EU....

If its 50,you can do 60. No problem with police. Yes,police is everywhere. Croatia is police/corupted country. I am from Croatia. Belive me,in non tourist regions,there is much more police. Their job is to write tickets,so will check everything,if you are domestic, to write you any kind of ticket. Locations of speedcameras can be found on internet. Southern part of Croatia,has also fantastic roads. You can drive,park bike near road,and few meters away from road,you can swimm in the sea. Just wear a swimwear under gear..
