Default Romania - Transilvaniei Highway

Well if anyone watched Top Gear tonight then you'll know

How much do you want to take a bike there. It looks stunning. There's surely no better road out there?

Now how do you get to Romania. Anyone fancy a road trip lol

nop i think the roads and car drivers there are bad

i hardly saw any bikes there, you would need a trail bike for their roads

Yeah I did put it down as one to do on the DRZ - just the small matter of how long it would take to ride the DRZ there...hmmm....

Yeah, I went thru' Romania ony my little Round the World trip last year & stopped off en-route at Bran (Dracula's) Castle.

Some of the roads wetre in a bad condition, esp on the winding corners taht wind up/down thru' the mountains....Having said that the scenery was *amazing*.

The weather was interesting. On one day it started out really bright & sunny, then I had torrential weather - major storms, and finally the weather dropped sub-zero. That was the day I was heading to Bran Castle so it was like Dracula was trying to tellme something. Got there just after midnight with a full moon overhead. Nice.

Romania - nice country, easy to do on the bike. The people are *really* friendly & they love bikers.

It did look amazing but it would take me so long to get up there, I'd have to keep stopping to take pictures and if I was with YC he'd probably end up pushing me off a cliff

Need a supercar really, anyone got one? And more importantly, anyone fancy giving me a lift in it?

It looked decent, but, get it wrong, it wouldn't be.
