No idea where we are but it's up near the Croatian and Bosnian borders.
Followed what we thought was a sign post to somewhere but, as most things are written in Russian, our guess must have been wrong, it was sort of a farm track, but a very rough one and led up to another mountain range in the middle of nowhere 😂😂😂. Stunning scenery and so quiet.

😂 😂 😂 😂 It was all part of Russia at one time
Some things are written in Russian, others are written in Montenegran and then when you get near a border, say, Albania in the south, or Bosnia in the north, the language changes again, no wonder we get lost. Luckily, for the residents of all these countries that have a different language, Russian is like the default language, so they can communicate with each other. We understand none of them though 🤣🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

We did a tour of Croatia a few years ago Julie, this took in parts of Montenegro and Bosnia.
I took all EURO cash (well we were in Europe), we got off the coach transfer in a little village in Croatia for lunch on the transfer to the hotel, the courier said I hope you have brought plenty of Kuna  ::) I spent the rest of the holiday changing Euro's to Kuna  >:(

Nope, not seen an Oxford sign yet Bryan, I'll keep my eyes peeled though 👀👀👀.
Paul, the currency is still a bit weird, in Montenegro they use Euros, even though they are not part of the EU and down the road in Albania, they use the Lek.

Yes, some of the mountain roads are like our A roads but we don't tend to go on them very much. There are even bus stops on the high peaks 😂😂😂.
We tend to use the equivalent of UK B roads, single lane with tarmac or concrete, C roads which are single lane, very rutted with no man made road surface and D roads that are cattle tracks that end up off piste. The little Kymco handles well on the worse of them, as max speed is about 10 mph and some of the drops down the mountain sides are truly very frightening 😱😱😱

Had a wobble down to the Haynes Museum today to meet Matt for a convivial coffee and a chew of the cud. Crap traffic but had an impromptu chuckle hitting a bump with the throttle on ‘go’ and managed to snick 3rd on the throttle with the front up about 18” up!

Made I laugh in me lid like a school boy……brilliant!

Giggled all the way home

Matt looking every bit a GP star on his, if not running quite right yet, beautiful 400.
Once fettled it’s going to be a fantastic machine. Sounded beautiful just still having wheezy performance and now a clutch
slip bless him. I’m sure he’ll be along soon with some questions. Lovely day and just touching 27 degrees in the shade when I got home, hot in leathers but we’ll worth it.

If I didn’t need a new front boot before I left, I certainly do now

Been out at the Delph meeting at Eccleston (Tuesday 6pm - 9pm) on the 500k2 - few hundred bikes. Lots of modern but number of classics including Z1, Black Bomber, CBX plus few Brits (nice featherbed with a nice Inter engine).
Great cafe too

What’s that funky looking thing Phil? It looks like it’s got ‘the lot’ on it? Lights  bars, screen, everything. Is that yours?…

Not sure Roo, don't know much about the modern stuff - just pointed my phone in the direction of the crowd! (just by chance got that Norton I was talking about in shot by chance) -  did take more pics of classics but when I got home, thay hadn't taken - phone must have run out of film!
