50 Days on bikes for 50th birthday | part 3: Getting to Romania

In this episode, we’re hitting the road in what was supposed to be amazing weather, tearing up the awesome roads of Hungary… or maybe not so awesome. We’re definitely riding, but are the roads really that great? 🤔

Our main mission is to blast through Hungary and finally reach the mountains of Romania. But along the way, we’re putting a big touring Harley-Davidson to the ultimate test: Can this couch-on-wheels actually handle off-road riding? 😉

Okay, okay, it’s not exactly a hardcore dirt track, but even a little bit of rough stuff is a proper challenge for a massive bike like this. The views, though? Absolutely stunning! And naturally, we’re talking absolute nonsense the whole time. So grab a beer and settle in! Enjoy the ride! 🍻

I really hope you guys dig this series! Let me know what you think in the comments below. Every single like, comment, and subscription is a massive help in the uphill battle against the algorithm, which honestly does not favour motorcycle touring videos. Cheers and catch you later! ✌️

[Music] [Music] Good morning. Uncle speaking. Look at our lovely room and at that lovely gentleman. Brilliant, right? But look what we rented for €100. That’s right. €100 per night. The whole house. Morning gents. And look at that house. That was the kitchen number one. That was a dining room. And the kitchen number two. And look at that delicious breakfast. And let’s look outside what we’ve got here. And well, it doesn’t look promising, does it? But hey ho, let’s eat the breakfast first. And for sure the weather will improve. It must do. But first, I think we need to clean the mess from yesterday. Luckily, it’s not the biggest mess ever. But hold on a second. Look at that. Weather improved, right? Well, never mind. It will be a good day. Let’s just eat the breakfast and off we go. And thank you. So, what’s going on now? We are going through the Hungary to Romania. And the roads in front of us are flat and boring. The weather is So, it has to be an amazing day. Been crying. Puddles in the lane. Street lights like tears. Water color stain. Umbrella maring heads down low. No horizon. Now look at that. The railroad crossing and it’s closed. [Music] And all of the sudden, and where does this music come from? H [Laughter] Well, in that case, I have to admit it’s a lovely day, right? Or maybe not. But actually, we are entering the musical motorway. And let’s check how it sounds like. Hold on a second. Well, I guess it’s playing something. Well, yeah, certainly it does play something, but probably you can hear it only in the car. [Music] And in that one, I guess it would be a nice experience, but not worth it on the motorcycle. Anyway, let’s just go. The road ain’t kind. It’s got no maps. Where do you leave? [Music] But now, watch out for this. [Music] And no, she’s not the source of that music. That’s Peter, right? [Music] Bloody hell. We need to memorize to stop far away from him every single time. We are in Hungary and we are hungry. Therefore, there is this langos and the bikes are parked here. See, all the bikes are here and we are going to eat langos. I hum my own tune. Pretend I don’t care. Potholes punch the cars high. Each crack. [Music] That was delicious. And people there were absolutely brilliant. However, I have to say that Hungary is kind of well, it doesn’t have the best roads for bikers. Let’s put it mildly. On the other hand, Hungarian people are absolutely brilliant. I mean, at least some of them, right? If you know what I mean. Let’s just go because I’m talking bollocks. [Music] In the dirt, in the rain. Yeah, looks that way. I remember that they were really popular like 50 years ago, 40 years ago in some cities in Poland. But now look at the right side of the road. Look at all those branches which are laying there. And there is basically a wind devastation and that’s why we didn’t go straight to Romania to the mountains. We wanted to go to Satare. Instead, we had to turn south because on the east there was plenty of thunderstorms, hail storms and whatnot. But even with that detour, we are already entering Romania. So, hey ho, we will soon be in the mountains. At least that’s the plan. [Music] But first things first because we need some fuel, right? [Music] here to check the weather maps because we know that there are plenty of thunderstorms and things like that. So, we would rather avoid it if we only can. Now we are trying to find the accommodation for the evening. But that’s not easy because someone is trying to disturb our peace. That’s Vladimir. That’s what his truck said. So Vladimir was kind of disturbing our peace of mind here. But nevertheless, we are trying to find the accommodation. And I was saying that we need to find one with the bear. Nozz. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Oh, I will [Music] But now what are we buying? Vodka treat. for you. [Music] So very interesting indeed. But look at that poor dog. He looks so friendly. Poor puppy. Anyways, it will be quite common view in all those eastern countries. The sky wears a cloak of gray. So heavy, so low. Whispers of the cls. Where does the sorrow go? Drip drop a rhythm, a tune only the lonely know. [Music] Endless rainfall. Majesty, you’re drowning the world. You’re drowning me. Endless rain. So, what can I say now? The weather is, as you can see, However, it’s kind of beautiful here because we are already in the mountains and that’s absolutely lovely. But there wouldn’t be an adventure if Google Maps wouldn’t do something stupid, right? [Music] departments. [Music] [Music] Can’t you see? You’re drowning the world. You’re drowning me. [Music] But hey, at some point this road started to be a bit [Music] normally there wouldn’t be a problem, but some of us has got some less experience in off-roading and Peter was on the heavy Harley. [Music] But look here, there is this tarmac road Peter mentioned. Well, but there wouldn’t be an adventure, right? [Music] Endless rainfall. Can’t you see the world endless rain? But at the end of the day, we are in the mountains. The weather is brilliant and it is. Yeah, absolutely. So, let’s stick to that. But never mind the stove. Look at my friends. They are constantly on the phones. But Peter already has his beer. So, I need to have one as well. And now check out this room. That room basically is, I guess, a wedding place, but there is a space to play some music, and we will do that in a second. But first, I need to grab some pine. And look at my face. How red it is from colden weather. I guess I need to warm up a bit. But look at that 40 guy, red guy, and uh Mr. Sweep guy. Anyways, let’s cut this crap and let’s play some music, shall we? Thank you. [Music] Thank you. [Music] [Music] people [Music] to your video when We should [Music] Okay. [Music] [Music] So that’s it my friends. Thanks for watching and see you next time. Cheers.
