Month: March 2021

Could you imagine exploring the villages and towns of Eastern Europe in this flying dragon. You sleep and cook on board. It would be like a campervan that flies.

Fuckin’ hell!!

Day 41 of me not drinking (Amalia is having small wine-sips). Yay us!!

It looks like Honda is at least looking to take the CB350 globally. I have a feeling there is a massive market for this bike from old people exactly like me. Guys who want a sensible, efficient, cheap to ride adventur(ish) motorbike that has all the modern features (FI, disk brakes, electronics) and retain that cool old school look (I love the way this machine looks). Yes, there is LOTS of romance in owning a Honda CB from the 70s and 80s but you end up spending hours a month maintaining and fiddling with it + they are heavy as fuck, hard to start, 3x more on fuel and parts…blah blah..

These new bikes are crazy cheap and reliable and perfect for village cruising and mild off-road farm roads and hills. I am still dreaming of Bulgarian motorbike/tent camping…..I’ve only done it once in my life (on salt spring island).

If this machine is available to me soon….THEN this will be my bike. There is a guy at the Honda dealer in Plovdiv who will notify me when/if they arrive.

There will also be a scrambler version of this little machine…but only spy shots and chitchat…so far.

When it’s yellow, let it mellow.

When it’s brown, let it mellow.

The Bulgarian Leva has been a super stable currency because it’s directly tied with the Euro but it will FINALLY be nice to get rid of the Leva and start using a global currency. Great for tourism and stability of Bulgaria (and EU).

But we have to wait a few more years.
