Riding In Romania - Motorcycle Road Trip

[@MsWe24]

I’m currently touring Romania right now. Cluj Napoca and Brasov were magical. Passed through Bucharest a few times this trip and can honestly say it’s one of the scariest places to ride, soo many inpatient drivers. I kinda regret starting here because everywhere else I’ve passed through has been superb. They have a bit of everything road wise here.

[@raresbirzu2436]

Bucharest is a bit of a sh!thole just same as most of the capitals.

[@LuciTulcea]

Bucharest is a bitch to ride in but not so the rest of the country.

[@IanTed]

Went to Romania in the 70s, lovely place and lovely people, must go back…

[@terpion]

Schengen ends in Hungary and getting into Romania is easier then leaving it, hehe. I've been there last year and likely going back this year as well. Beautiful country and people.

[@KeepOnRecord]

Welcome to Romania, hope you enjoyed the bendy mountain roads.. We have plenty of'em

[@georgemoise1427]

Greetings as a Romanian citizen and wish you a lovely trip though the country, I suggest you guys if you have the opportunity to ride the motorcycles around the "Lepșa" or "Transfăgărășan" Cheers Folks wish you all the best 🍻

Your back to back talk with rider at 06:16…..he needs to be a RAF fighter pilot with a voice like that lol!

[@MrRazvansogodel]

Welcome !!!!! Nice to see my country thru your eyes ! :)

[@alistairkip7303]

Fun!

[@ClassicRides]

Good lord the start of this one almost put me off going to Romania 😁Looks like it gets better though, looking forward to the next instalment!

[@EpicMotorcycleAdventures]

Nice one Bruce. You gotta watch those tar snakes in the wet.

[@teapotone]

Aye they get a tad ‘exciting’ don’t they!

[@adrianmandra3683]

Ohh man you came to my town... it feels like you broke the 4th wall :). Hope you had a great time over here and better weather than what I saw in the first vid. Can't wait to see the rest :)

[@ExeterCenturion]

Brilliant viddeo! Lovely to see you out and about.

[@ioanbiro2368]

Hi Bruce I am glad you stopped in my beautiful home city of Cluj Napoca (known as Klausenburg). I really appreciate your channel and I fallow it a few years ago.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, my wife and i traveled through Romania last year and loved it! We also stayed in Cluj Napoca, hopefully we will tour Romania again! =) Cluj Napoca

[@LuciTulcea]

Cluj is a beautiful city with a big two wheels community.

[@a9503128]

Use rain mode in the rain and trust the bike, you’ll be surprised Bruce

[@Banditmanuk]

Another good watch Bruce. Shame the weather wasn't with you. Carol and I do find it inspiring to see you guys heading for more unusual places and exploring. Joy and Martin could have stuck to their successful Canary Islands tours but choose to keep trying new things. We admire you're sense of adventure, I could tack on your catch phrase, but it is what you're doing.

[@BC-xu8yq]

You should put part numbers in the title. Enjoying this series so far! P.s. great touch in adding the audio from comms

[@Desmo904]

My two favourite touring video peeps, are your good self and Pavlin from the "Motorcycle Adventure" youtube channel. You should look him up next time you are down in the Romania/Bulgaria area, it would be great to see you two touring together!

[@teapotone]

I liked Pavlin’s vids, tried to get him on the podcast actually, and he told me he didn’t like the direction I was going? 🤷‍♂️

[@Desmo904]

[@mrcintheuk4641]

Hmm, I'm going to reserve judgement until the end of the trip. Having said that, so far you've made interesting vlogs out of not very interesting material. That's not easy! 👍👍👍

[@Mckhuus]

Railway crossing in Most eastern european countries will land you a ticket or on the spot fine if you don't stop.. Your wheels have to stop then move on.. its a pain in the ass but the way they do it.. ;-) Been living here 12 years and .... Take it or leave it.

[@teapotone]

Ah ok, I didn’t know that, makes sense why they all almost stop now! Cheers for the info 👍

[@dorstefan]

You will also lose your licence.

[@erroly100]

SPARKLING, as usual. Well edited as well

[@andybrown3508]

Well I bought a GS after riding triumph motorcycles for years . I’m converted 👍what a beast and so brilliant to ride . Loved your video 👍you do need to get commission from bmw 😆😆

[@paul.vanhout57]

We call those tar snakes in the USA. Slick when wet and greasy when hot😬

[@parisjordanou-malian1265]

Teapot you saved the day was gonna head off to Greece live in Germany and didn't realise I needed that Vignette and only by chance being a subscriber you alerted me! So Austria Hungary and Bulgaria all done! Should be on Kavala Greece Monday so if you close beers on me!

[@teapotone]

Awesome , glad it helped 👏👏

[@cyclingsfatsuma9808]

Do you need a vignette on all roads or just for highways. Austria and Czech republic and Switzerland from memory are major highway only. Happy to be corrected on that

[@ryoder]

The comments about "vignette" had me scratching my head, but what do you know, there is a whole Wikipedia page about it under the title "Vignette (road tax)".

[@davereinhart9933]

The GS seems to suit this ride very well.

[@afandou1966]

5:10 Beware this folks, (when visiting Romania) the locals stop at RR crossings (with visible RR, and traffic stop signs posted). I wonder what you would say if you were in Switzerland. Prime example of entitlement. Oh, dang, you mentioned it again at 10:28. It is the disdain chuckle that gets me. I did like the sincere caution on dogs and cattle on the road.

[@AndreiGrad007]

Nice, I hope you really enjoy it

[@ClassyLyfeStylellc]

I hit a tar snake on my cbr 1100 blackbird going 90mph…. Sharp curve and went right off the road 😂 bike was shite but we had her back up and rebuilt in 2 days. 😆

[@teapotone]

Aye they’re slippery as hell in the wet

[@brianlongimanus9436]

Hi Bruce my good man. That must be a post Brexit it thing as we just sailed through the border into Hungry and then onto Romania. In 2010 but that is 12 years ago 😜🤦🏻 the wild Dogs can be a bit tricky as they can just wander into the road and a lorry will not stop for them catapulting then into your path, first hand experience and lucky escape. Keep her lit 🔥

[@markmundy3435]

Can't always have the weather...

[@teapotone]

Tell me about it - this week is a heatwave, I take a group to Scotland on tour next week… and the rain starts on Tuesday! 🤦‍♂️🤣🤷‍♂️

Yep, once you’re connected in a group, it’ll remember that connection forever

Hi teapot. What is the sat nav you use on your road trips, the that disguises between different road types. Many thanks, keep tripping

[@teapotone]

I use Calimoto on my phone 👍

[@tartantam3405]

Morning Mr Teapot! We met briefly at ABR, I’m sure you remember us!! We’re heading off in two weeks to northern Spain, Pyrenees and Dordogne. Quick question about how do you switch your GoPros on at same time? Do you use the on/off and record buttons or a remote? I have the remote but it is sooooo unreliable and frustrating

[@teapotone]

Hello bud, how’s it going! I have both GoPro’s set at one touch record and I just push the record button on each one, give it a few seconds, then I sync up by spamming my visor shut - you sync of the audio peak on the helmet vid and by visually looking at the cockpit cam footage to see when the visor shuts.

[@iRideAngPinas]

Hello brother, what navigation app are you using on this trip?

[@teapotone]

I use Calimoto - there’s a link in description 👍

[@aod_thescrub2615]

looking at getting a bmw 310gs when i get my a2 licence, not sure if you have rode one, but if so or if not, whats your opinion on them

[@kwak1k]

Get a bigger bike and restrict it Wouldn't bother with a 300cc unless you're not a very confident rider. Versys 650 or something similar would be better in my opinion.

[@teapotone]

@Aod I rode the 310R, thought it was an ok bike tbh. But as Keikasfaki says, personally I’d just get a bigger CC bike and restrict it 👍

[@ryanmalone2681]

Is the new GoPro Media Mod waterproof?

[@teapotone]

No, but I use it in all weathers - only issue I’ve had is the GoPro lens sometimes develops condensation
