After several attempts to repair the pump another solution had to be adopted we agreed that agars and IVs would continue the journey to Budapest which was 2 hours away to find a new pump Mars went some distance in the opposite direction to get something to eat and

Drink as it was gradually getting warmer at 26° on the side of the highway I stayed with my bike to try to fix it again and again I was absolutely sure that it would work until I really lost hope because moisture had been living in the pump for some time which had slowly

Tried to make friendship with the metal mechanism seeing me alone leaning against the highway railing other passing motorcyclists also noticed one by one they stopped to offer some help but they didn’t manage to do anything more than moral support until I was stopped by a company of

Checks who were going for a ride in the mountains without any further questions they started with a tool kit to save me from the situation they didn’t succeed either but knowing the Slovak language they found the nearest service station and called a trailer that would transport my 950 to the service Station I left all my extra belongings at the service and without much thought I got on mari’s horse to get to Budapest where we had booked the next night’s accommodation and of course the concert it was 50 km from the service to Budapest or an hour’s drive my butt

Wouldn’t be able to withstand anymore this is Stop Hello go yeah yeah yeah yeah g To I’m still [Applause] alive [Applause] we have finally arrived at our planned destination in Budapest everyone together at the Pearl Jam concert we can really say that I’m still alive because the concert is excellent and the mood is perfect our quick ability to solve problems has been Justified now we have

To go to rest because the day has been very intense hey I’m still [Applause] Alive I’m still Alive we wake up with the hope that the pump will already be found in the service but the phone is silent it is already 12:00 and I decide to find out for myself what is happening with my bike the news is not encouraging because in the service says that the pump has

Already been ordered and will be available only after 3 days then without hesitation we go to another KTM service in Budapest the employee gets involved with great enthusiasm and unscrews the pump from his own bike which turns out to be the exact same bike as mine we agreed

That the pump I ordered would be delivered to him then we happily go back to the previous service I have to sit there for a couple of hours because the mechanic has left and I can’t get to my bike it is 4:00 in the afternoon when my bike is finally ready

For the road the journey will be long and tiring as the whole day has been delayed and there are still 500 km to go right kn Yeah accompanied by the bright Moonlight we are approaching Romania and have finally reached the Border Point while in Poland I realized that I had forgotten my driver’s license hopefully they won’t ask the border control likes our bikes and lets us into Romania without any extra checks God say it’s okay for normal broke

R on the road you have to concentrate in a heightened mode because the sharp curves and the culture of drivers are drastically different from what we have experienced before nobody drives 50 in a populated area we also have to adapt and when we drive at 70 kmph someone is constantly tail ating us

Even in a bend a trailer that has chosen two passenger cars as cargo has overtaken us the road at night really makes you tense up because we also see a deer on the side of the road broke the morning began with a pleasant beautiful sight that we could not see in

The darkness of the night we call our loved ones to tease a little with what our eyes are currently feasting on we’re looking forward to hitting some more remote off-road to enjoy the true capabilities of our bike and get some adrenaline going Avis decides to check the riverbed

A bit looking at the weather forecast in lvia for Romania it was quite scary the constant radio said that it would be up to plus 42° during our trip but what was promised is drastically different from reality here they are around plus 30 which is good because there were concerns about Overheating the trans Alpena is a 148 km National Road and is one of the highest roads in the Carpathian Mountains with the highest point reaching more than 2,000 M see We continue along the winding road to reach the top would see the Wonders this land has to offer and smell the Air 2 km up the temperature in a mountainous area changes very rapidly one moment they are plus3 and the next 19 came to nothing this Long you tend to Mercies you were enough enough what is it it’s taken us so long to learn the world is coming down around us while we wait out turn now we’re running down a road and hope where go they’ll try to warn you it’s a cruel world gr world they’ll mislead and misinform don’t you Turn don’t you turn what is it Tak us so long to learn the world is falling down around us while we wait out now we’re Running the day is coming to an end rather quickly so it is necessary to go find a shop to get food for dinner because today it is planned to spend the night in a tent at the very top of the Mountains [Applause] camping C [Applause] Guess It’s On come On the night in the mountains was full of emotions it was windy outside and the temperature dropped to plus 6° the body vibrated at first it seemed that it was from the cold but over time I realized that the body is warm and this vibration is probably from the

Great impressions of the trip which arose from the experiences on the way Maris even sneaked out of the tent in the middle of the the night to exercise unable to understand what was happening to him the goal of the day is to drive the famous Trans figaris Mountain Road

Which crosses the southern part of the Romanian carpathians it is the second highest asphalted road after trans Alpena the road stretches for 90 km and was built in the early 70s as a strategic military route connecting the historical regions of Transylvania and wakei Approaching transfar suddenly a strange alarm sounds on the walkie-talkies because they are connected to the phone we stop in confusion and a warning message appears on the phone screens for a moment it seems that it is related to the war because the Ukrainian border is a few

Hundred km away later we understand that the warning is about bears which tend to to come out on the road here passengers are warned not to get out of the vehicle and not to feed them but since we are not in the vehicle but on it you can imagine the feelings for Yourself Also here are the above mentioned little paws waiting to be given a treat we saw a total of six Bears on this road we end this day early because the very next day we have to go to trans pania to visit Dracula in order to possibly gain Supernatural power and

Immortality the trip is also planned along off-road Motorcycle Trails trans Euro Trail Romania how we did see you in the next Episode
