Dreaming about next trip

Yes.

Both riders had helmet cameras mounted. But sorting and preparing video takes a bit more time.

So I can say that more is coming.

PS. You can look all my pictures https://tarmo.smugmug.com/gallery/4886169_hVEB4#291458897_NJJVs

Great Pictures.

I was in estonia 2 years ago ... Sorry i did not have a chance to ride.

Is there motorcycle rental in estonia? I did not see any ?

thanks willie

Man,
Did you park on the left side of the parking-lot of the Plitvica lakes in Croatia??? This is such a small planet! I´ve been there with my 950 and my dad the same day and saw two GSes from Estonia in the parking lot. Unfortunately we left before the riders (you???) came back!

Awesome bikes and nice pictures!

(Maybe we even stayed in the same hotel as you? At the end of the Senj harbour, right next that round tower?)

Greetings from Germany,
Jan

Nice ride Tarmo , hope yu had great time in Croatia, which is spelled without letter H .

Yes in Senj we parked near harbour hotel and in Plitvica our bikes looked like that:

My mistake. Text is now correct but how can I change the thread title?

Yes we have some places who rent motorcycles.
Just first what I found:

Hi everybody.
I'm the other guy in the pictures from Croatian trip.
It was a great ride. Especially the Croatian part and Velebit gravel roads. (Which Tarmo rode two up). I was the lucky one - we left luggage at hotel and rode on day in light bikes. SUPER!!
Had to wait for Tarmo to catch up though.

To JanB.
Yes, we stayed in that hotel in Senj.

Another beautiful part of the world I will have to try and get too

We send our warmest greetings to Nikola Mrakovcic (http://web.vip.hr/nikola.mrakovcic.vip/index.htm) whome we met in Horizon Unlimited website (http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/).

He gave us some advice during our trip preparation and planning and met us that evening when we reached the Krk island. He gave us very good recomendations where to go and what roads to take.

Thank you!

I'm glad that you enjoy in my country. I hope to see you again.

Great pictures and report

Lovely pictures.

Tarmo - awesome ride report. Great to see that side of the world. Keep them coming, for my wife is 100% Estonian and with such pictures and reports it allows me to open her eyes to the true passion of adventure riding.

Cheers

Great report and pics. Please tell me what you guys think of the Heidenau tyres on your bikes? Are they any good off road, what mileage can you expect of them?

Very nice report, thank you!

very nice!!
