We entered North Macedonia - Day 14 / Balkan Motorcycle Tour 2023 - TransALP 650

On the 14th day of our motorcycle tour through the Balkans, June 2023... we left after 8 days through Albania, in North Macedonia. We hiked a bit through the Galicica National Park and took in the scenery towards Lake Ohrid...then we visited a unique place for us, the Bay Of The Bones Museum...a special location with thousands of year old houses. During the day, we followed some very smooth, winding roads that took us along the Black Drin river. Towards the end of the day we also got to see a bit of the Matka Canyon... to end the day in Skopje at a very nice accommodation... Studio K2, where we were surprised to hear that On Her Bike (Kinga) was already stayed there 6 times from 2018 until now.

#1EurochallengeForTheNewTransalp

My story as a motorcyclist started from my early childhood. Since I was only a few years old and my brother Atti (10 years older) would put me on the tank of his small 70cc motorcycle and let me pull the throttle...
Anyway, I think it was also genetic, since the time when my parents were traveled along of Romania in the 70`s, with their bike called Mobra 50cc.
At the age of 9 I acquired my first 49cc Yamaha Mint scooter.
One day, in 2005 my brother bought the 2001 TransALP 650, with 2145km. And from there his love story for TransALP but also mine, began!
At the age of 19, In October 2007 - I managed to complete the motorcycle driving school.
Just a few days later, the search began for my new motorcycle... which obviously had to be a TransALP! I had a maximum budget of 2000 Euros.
After further searches, we found in our city in Arad, Romania...
A TransALP 600cc, from 1992, green, with 64,500km, 1950 Euros.
The best life I could have started. From Oct 2007 to the end of 2010 I did about 50,000 km.
In that time the TransALPs bloomed like mushrooms after the rain. Somehow I became an unofficial TransALP Romania ambassador. We already had our gang and community of TransALPs. Many tours together followed, official annual meetings around the country.
After 2010, things changed, some personal, familiar problems appeared. And life took a completely different turn.
In all these years (2010-2016 aprox) this passion for motorcycle trips has dwindled drastically...

In 2020 I decided to "resurrect" my YouTube channel - Lutzifer Videographer. Channel established on March 1, 2008.
The years passed, and I had around 700 uploaded videos. Unfortunately, at that time I did not know how important the copyright of the songs is. 90% of my clips were either restricted or worse, blocked!
My decision was to delete everything and have it from scratch, on the same channel. But now it comes the time to make a new channel only for Motorcycle Travel and Exploring this beautiful world!
From 2020 I knew that going forward, this is my dream. To travel as much as I can by motorcycle. They are phasing them out with the neighboring countries and they are moving forward...step by step.
For the last 3 years I have been struggling to find a balance between "Money - Free Time".
Even if we try to find the cheapest option, starting from accommodation, until two people eat a single portion of food, however, it costs.
Since I was a little kid, my dream was that one day to have a new motorcycle with which I can see the world. In addition to the fact that riding a motorcycle gives me personal satisfaction, I am even more happy when I can inspire others to do the same.
In the year 2021, after a long and complicated story, the whole family was left stranded and homeless. Moment when everyone went where they could, because life goes on. We're not complaining, some things are meant to happen to find a different path in life. Everything happens for a purpose!
And what I am about to tell you is not a "begging", because from my point of view it is not about money, but about "the power of people and the power of example".
After several clips, pictures, presentations, information about the new Honda TransALP 750 motorcycle appeared... I liked it a lot!
In 16 years of being a Honda TransALP owner and about 140,000 km traveled with two models (600/650), my heart still pulls towards the TransALP. Even though the market is full of many other similar models and brands.
The challenge is to reach 10,000 people who donate at least 1 Euro, as soon as possible!
The entire story is much longer...
