Exclamation Croatia reporting in!
Hello everyone!

Reporting in from Croatia, been sniffing around the bandit forums here
for years literally, always wanted one, and am trying to make it happen.

Since I'm from EU, we get the lovely naked bandits too, and I've wanted
the 1250 ever since it came out in 2007!

Currently ride a 300cc Kymco scoot, and have previously owned a 50cc
peugeot scoot, 125cc kymco scoot and a kawasaki er6f abs (ninja 650R).

Bye for now!

Cool! Welcome to the site!

I was kind of worried about activating your account because a LOT of spammers originate from Croatia. Very happy to find out you really are a rider and not a spammer!

I would love to see pics of your country from your rides!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Woot!

That was quick!
Thanks for the welcome.. I was just about to e-mail you about activation
when it happened.

Pictures?
Sure!

There's a bunch of them in my picassa public gallery here:
http://picasaweb.com/dbauernf - most albums are motorcycle related

Some other pictures from Croatia, the good ones, can be found
on my flickr account - I do a bit of amateur photography too:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/cortez_cro/

That should do till I get myself a Bandit 1250, right?
Thanks for lettin' me in!

You'll find everything you need to know about that place here:
http://www.np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/en/

If you have to pick one place to visit here, that's it.

Most tourists still hit us during the summer time along the adriatic coastline,
but this place gets visitors all year round.

Re: Croatia reporting in!
Don't know if you've seen it, but we have a section here devoted to photography also:

http://twtex.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=99

The idea is to make us better photographers so we can do better ride reports

Welcome to Texas online!
I hope to see Croatia by motorcycle, my wife is from Novi Sad Serbia and I go at least every other year. She is the lucky one and gets to visit places like Pula while I work...

Ah, that's cool, I've been to Novi Sad twice this year.
Love the people, love the food!

I'm under 100 miles from there (Osijek, Croatia)!

Croatia got some great roads for motorcycle riders, never have to leave
the country to have a good time!

We have a Bosnian restaurant here that specializes in the street food from the region, I love that place. The sad part is, I married the only vegetarian from all of Eastern Europe.
