Balkans September 23, 2018. Bucharest, Romania

8:00 pm.  Back in the Bucharest hotel where this adventure began.  We had a good ride in from Sofia, Bulgaria.  It was about 250 miles and very easy and fast, we arrived at 2:30 pm.  Roads were okay, some highway and lots of high speed 2 lane roads that were rough sufaced and pretty loud. 
Riding across the bridge over the Danube River to the border crossing.  It was backed up but probably took only 45 minutes to get through. We saw some horse drawn wagons carrying people and field crops.  We also saw a 1985 Simson 2-stroke motorcycle with a proud owner that showed it off for me.  It's a German made motorcycle and I have never seen one before. I took a short video of it starting up that I hope you can see and hear.  True classics,  both the bike and the owner.

Hard to believe that we are all done exploring. We may ride around the city a little tomorrow before turning the bike in. Total mileage should be around 2,500 miles and the bike ran flawlessly.
When's the last time you saw a Yugo running?
