Goodness, I'll say! 

Elemer, these are terrific, and document a wonderful trip.  I especially liked seeing your bike "in action" and all the camping scenes as well.  A mighty fine-looking bike indeed; reminds me of my own beloved Sherpa.  Very nicely set up, and I especially enjoyed using the "zoom" photos to get a close look at all the details.  Your own accessory T-bar came out very nicely, and I like the location you chose for the computer, and GPS nice and handy.  Is that a bar-end mirror I see mounted?

Such beautiful scenery, as well.

Well done!  Thanks for sharing.

Best,

Dan.

strictnaturist:
what a trip...and it looks all pretty traffic free! Were they all on holiday here or something? :D

Danneaux:
Elemer,

By any chance, could you post a photo of the map showing your route?  Or possibly a link to the GPS waypoints for it?  I'm really interested in the journey you took, and any additional information would be most welcome.  Again, a really nice photo-essay of your journey.

Best,

Dan.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your kind words!

The mirror is this type:http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/busch-and-muller-cycle-star-mirror-fits-to-handlebar-end-long-stem-prod16567/
I use it as a bar end and turn it inside the handlebar when I ride in the city. It is good because I can go through narrow gaps between cars when I
commute. On the open road I fold it outside and I find it very useful.

I tried to export / import the route from my google earth into google maps but I could not, si finally I put it on bikemap.net
However it seems I started from Umbria but I did not and it also shows my flight from Rome to Budapest
