26.03.2011

A few years ago I promised Szidi that I will take her to the city of Sibiu, but every time we wanted to go, there was some last minute changes and we never made it.....until today.

So,we start the 2011 motorcycle year with a trip to Sibiu.

Sibiu is one of the most important cultural centers of Romania, and was designated a European Capital of Culture for the year 2007. Formerly the center of the Transylvanian Saxons,  the old city of Sibiu was ranked as "Europe's 8th most idyllic place to live".

In the world of bikers it's famous because of the RED BULL ROMANIACS. If you are wondering what is that, I can tell you that the RED BULL ROMANIACS is one of the toughest extreme motorcycle events on Planet Earth.

Now we don't ride to see the Romaniacs, we are interested in the ancient medieval part of Sibiu, in the heart of Transylvania.

We fuel up, check the air pressure and hit the road.
