Anyone know if your bikes are safe in these countries or do you have to be extra careful ?

went to hungary with a fireblade before I had a GS. Had trouble finding a Honda dealer in Balatonfured but locals real friendly and helpful. Top tip for Krumlov... stay at pension Ingrid. She is a star and will treat you as her own

YH in Cesky Krumlov is good and right in the centre of the town - http://www.hihostels.com/dba/hostels-Cesky-Krumlov---Travellers-Hostel-015031.en.htm

I've been to Budejovice a few times but it is rather er.... untourist. Krumlov much better with a trip to Bud to check out a brewery...



Have been on a variety of bikes including GSXR's and never had a problem with security. I wouldn't leave the fecker unlocked in Hythe so why anywhere else?

In Cesky Krumloc I stayed at Pension Rosa. Very clean and fairly cheap, plus has a locked courtyard where you can park the bikes up all safe with no worries.

In Bratislava the Ibis hotel is right next to the city centre and right under the castle. Parked the bikes out the front and as theres always someone on the desk again there was no worries about the bikes.

In Budapest we simply had a bloke who stopped to help us with directions on a map, who then rented us an apartment on the spot for 2 nights. Really cheap, clean and perfect location. Check out this site for appartments around the city centre.

Have a geat time.
