Bulgaria Trip - Day 3


Had a great start to the day riding down the D994 - miles and miles of empty road with hardly any other traffic, corn fields on both sides, just wonderful but then....nearing Keyserburg I stopped for fuel and broke down: no start, battery dead - managed to jump start it and found a motorcycle shop just 1 mile away and bought a new battery…..     The same thing happed in 2019 on my return from Greece/Bulgaria !!  Good job I did break down on the D994 with bugger all passing traffic.   It was great to have the battery booster thing with me - and it worked this time unlike 2019.


And it’s now raining….   Rode on through the storm.   Now at campsite and they have beer on tap.   It’s been a long traumatic day so I need it….

Bulgaria Trip - Day 2




The day started well except the bike decided to a an extra hour asleep!!! A kind neighbour helped me get the bike upright and so I finished packing and away we went to Soissons. 

 It was a very nice campsite - I might just visit on the return run as it's just 40 minutes from the Channel Tunnel. 

It was a pleasant run today, just 3.5 hours with very little traffic. Tomorrow will be a longer run as we head for Kayserburg on the French/German border. Good night from Soissons FR.

Bulgaria Trip - Day 1



So far so good. Arrived in good time - was offered a place on an earlier train but it was delayed so landed at the planned time. 

I did manage to bash my thumb and it's starting to swell, I fear it may hurt more in the morning - good job it's only the left clutch side !!!! 

Made the campsite without issue. Now just sorting things out before a beer and supper.
