I’m currently touring Romania right now. Cluj Napoca and Brasov were magical. Passed through Bucharest a few times this trip and can honestly say it’s one of the scariest places to ride, soo many inpatient drivers. I kinda regret starting here because everywhere else I’ve passed through has been superb. They have a bit of everything road wise here.

Bucharest is a bitch to ride in but not so the rest of the country.

Went to Romania in the 70s, lovely place and lovely people, must go back…

Schengen ends in Hungary and getting into Romania is easier then leaving it, hehe. I've been there last year and likely going back this year as well. Beautiful country and people.

Welcome to Romania, hope you enjoyed the bendy mountain roads.. We have plenty of'em

Greetings as a Romanian citizen and wish you a lovely trip though the country, I suggest you guys if you have the opportunity to ride the motorcycles around the "Lepșa" or "Transfăgărășan" Cheers Folks wish you all the best 🍻

Your back to back talk with rider at 06:16…..he needs to be a RAF fighter pilot with a voice like that lol!

Welcome !!!!! Nice to see my country thru your eyes ! :)

Ohh man you came to my town... it feels like you broke the 4th wall :). Hope you had a great time over here and better weather than what I saw in the first vid. Can't wait to see the rest :)

Fun!

Good lord the start of this one almost put me off going to Romania 😁Looks like it gets better though, looking forward to the next instalment!

You should put part numbers in the title. Enjoying this series so far! P.s. great touch in adding the audio from comms

Brilliant viddeo! Lovely to see you out and about.

Nice one Bruce. You gotta watch those tar snakes in the wet.

Another good watch Bruce. Shame the weather wasn't with you. Carol and I do find it inspiring to see you guys heading for more unusual places and exploring. Joy and Martin could have stuck to their successful Canary Islands tours but choose to keep trying new things. We admire you're sense of adventure, I could tack on your catch phrase, but it is what you're doing.

Hmm, I'm going to reserve judgement until the end of the trip. Having said that, so far you've made interesting vlogs out of not very interesting material. That's not easy! 👍👍👍

5:10 Beware this folks, (when visiting Romania) the locals stop at RR crossings (with visible RR, and traffic stop signs posted). I wonder what you would say if you were in Switzerland. Prime example of entitlement. Oh, dang, you mentioned it again at 10:28. It is the disdain chuckle that gets me. I did like the sincere caution on dogs and cattle on the road.

Hi Bruce I am glad you stopped in my beautiful home city of Cluj Napoca (known as Klausenburg). I really appreciate your channel and I fallow it a few years ago.

Hi Bruce my good man. That must be a post Brexit it thing as we just sailed through the border into Hungry and then onto Romania. In 2010 but that is 12 years ago 😜🤦🏻 the wild Dogs can be a bit tricky as they can just wander into the road and a lorry will not stop for them catapulting then into your path, first hand experience and lucky escape. Keep her lit 🔥

Railway crossing in Most eastern european countries will land you a ticket or on the spot fine if you don't stop.. Your wheels have to stop then move on.. its a pain in the ass but the way they do it.. ;-) Been living here 12 years and .... Take it or leave it.

Morning Mr Teapot! We met briefly at ABR, I’m sure you remember us!! We’re heading off in two weeks to northern Spain, Pyrenees and Dordogne. Quick question about how do you switch your GoPros on at same time? Do you use the on/off and record buttons or a remote? I have the remote but it is sooooo unreliable and frustrating

Hello bud, how’s it going! I have both GoPro’s set at one touch record and I just push the record button on each one, give it a few seconds, then I sync up by spamming my visor shut - you sync of the audio peak on the helmet vid and by visually looking at the cockpit cam footage to see when the visor shuts.

Can I ask you about the cards edge mesh , if you get split up and come back into the group 15 mins later does it auto remember and re connect, I’m about to buy the edge and bin my Sena
