On August 5th, 2008 Pera Baity and I set out to explore the Balkans. We were riding antique Russian motorcycles; mine is a 50's vintage M72 and Pera's on a 1960's Ural M61. The journey would take us over three thousand kilometers through five countries.
We have documented the trip in an one hour video, separated into three segments for convenient streaming; we also posted live to various forums, and have recreated the log below.
I hope you enjoy.
“The Edge...There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. The others-the living-are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later. But the edge is still Out there.”
― Hunter S. Thompson
