Just rented the BMW 1200 GS in Croatia. Visited friends who came to Houston from Croatia last month. They rented bikes (Harleys) and we road the Hill Country all the way to Big Bend. These are pictures of their places here in Croatia. The one guy has an amazing Harley garage. Will post pictures of my ride later this week. Friday and Saturday joining a large Harley gathering here. Only guy probably on a GS.

Cool, so are they Croatian? Or Texans living in Croatia?

The flags made me wonder.
 
Lunch Break. Pasta with white truffles.

Very cool, thanks for posting. My Germany buddy did a Croatia tour about 5 years ago. The "beware of land mines" picture he posted really got my attention. :eek2:
 
Most are gone. There is one area in the south up in the Mt. I ran across the sign too!
 
From the pics I have seen it is beautiful there.;-)
 
And riding a BMW you get to park by the entrance to the hotel. And yes they are letting us park here tonight.

Good catch, Vec. Oh well, it was an honest mistake. I can only spot the problem because I was involved in scouting; they didn't teach me indoor flag protocols in the Army.
 
Croatia is a beautiful country with some amazing riding. Me and the missus spent a week in Rab and would love to go back some day.
 
I plan on going back in September again and rent a GS also. Always looking for any one who would like to join. I know the roads very well as well as places to go.

I really wouldn't mind joining you. But, but my buddy and I have plans in September to be in the UK. Then early next year, I am proposing being in Normandy for the 75th anniversary of D-Day. I am going to ride through Croatia, I have heard many good things about the country. Probably the most telling is that many, many Europeans choose Croatia to vacation in. It is pretty and less expensive.

Good luck with your ride and thanks for sharing.
