We crossed Slovakia and Hungaria on the fast lane. Slovakia is the only country in the east I've ridden trough I ever had to improve the local polices income without a cause. I think it is all right to pay "fare" for going to fast, but that time traffic police stopped us and ask for money, let us choose between walking home or paying. We took the last choice and let some DM without getting any receipt.

We arrived at the romanian border early evening. To me it was a little like coming home. This time we bought our visa at the border, that is less expensive and took a shorter time at the border than arriving with visa got from the embassy in Bonn. By the way, romanian border police did not mind about the expired Passport, they just wanted anything to stamp the visa in. Custom and police control took as many time as all border personnel needed to examine the bikes. When police had finished discussion about cylinder and horsepower we were asked to leave the check point with maximum speed and if possible with a wheeling, but no one of us were cool enough to try it with all that baggage. Speedlimit for Motorcycles on ALL roads in Romania is 50 km/h (Stop laughing please).
