MDB raved

about your RR last nite, so I had to have a look for myself, and I must say he was right – WOW! Looks like another awesome country to ride in!

Great pics – they really captured the vastness of the country with a little humanitarian side to some

Well done Knes, we gotta come ride there

Onetime · « **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2011, 11:53:15 am »

Great thanks for sharing, I am feeling green

eSKaPe · « **Reply #18 on:** February 05, 2011, 10:18:21 am »

Just took another look at this report - you have a good eye for taking the best and unusual pics there
Really awesome - the States has so much to ride
Also want to go ride Croatia as well

Did you take your own bikes to the States or did you hire/borrow/buy them there??

eSKaPe · « **Reply #19 on:** February 05, 2011, 10:21:57 am »

and how long did this trip take?
looks like you guys didn't have any problems with the bikes not even a puncture!
