Austria

Is not as expensive as people say. There are no proper budget options, but the cheapest meals, campsites etc. are of a quality you´d pay a lot more for in any other European country I´ve been to.

And the bikers are all too cool for school, merely raising their index finger for just a second as they pass each other - it took me a whole day to notice they were acknowledging my waves at all.
My bike went from being the newest on the road in Czech Rep. "20 years old!?!", to the oldest in Austria "20 years old?!?".

On the first evening I noticed my front chain slider had snapped into two pieces - if it came all the way off my chain would be smashing against the steel swingarm, and would be wrecked in no time...

Big Brother to the rescue.
A few texts later and an aftermarket one from America was winging it´s way to England,I just had to make it last to the South of Spain and get it sent with my tyres to me there...

I left it tied closed, stuck together with instant gasket overnight. It held till the next day, when I opted for superglue...
