PRVI PROBLEMI NA VIDIKU

Sunny weather, it’s warm, I took off my jacket, here are a few more kilometers and I’ll arrive What happened? Here, and here on the border before Kosovo, my engine broke down. The 3rd episode of the Balkan Rally brings the right dose of excitement and unpredictability. They would praise Montenegrin roads as the best in Europe. Those who are responsible for these roads, the rule should apply to them: Today arrest, tomorrow trial, the day after tomorrow prison in Spuz. Oh man, I’m so happy Shim, did you last? Hardly today Is it possible man? Come on, where’s Chika Story? Chika Story is the editor of the show President, good morning, how are you? Excellent. You? Are you rested? Did we? how did you sleep Excellent. Well done. All the best. Here the army is rising slowly, now the movement will. You have all the coordinates, all the instructions. We stick to the route. See you… in Skopje. In this episode you will see driving on the bad roads of Montenegro. The worst part is that there is a gap between the border and the bottom. So it’s on a hill. The engine stopped somewhere a few meters from the precipice . There is almost a 50 m precipice. Happiness in misfortune. You will find out all about the first crash on the rally. Well, Rakelo, welcome to us. Thank you. Thank you for this again this year for being here with us. In Macedonia, we are greeted by what that country is best known for. Hospitality and great food. For me personally, the episode holds one surprise. A chance meeting with a friend in Skopje. Where are you from? Is this possible, man? I’m sitting with my girlfriend and I’m just like “what a fuck”, this is me, this is Chika Story. The adventure will continue in the south of the country, where we were given a magnificent welcome in Đevđelia. There was also a spectacular parade with members of the local Phoenix motorcycle club. And the crown of the day will be the celebration of the first birthday of this club, on the shore of the Dojran Lake. Get ready, we’re moving. Like, share, comment, subscribe. It is the third day of the Balkan Rally and we are just about to leave Montenegro. Two days of staying and socializing here are behind us . A real marathon stage awaits us today. From the north of Montenegro, we descend directly towards the south of Macedonia. The day promises to be a long ride. 545 km of road is ahead of us. The morning is fresh, and in the afternoon in Macedonia we will be greeted by real summer conditions. The participants are already ready, the engines are loaded, the team is in a good mood, and even though the stage is demanding, the atmosphere is fighting and positive, you can feel the excitement, because we are going to a completely different environment of the Balkans. Before we start the new stage of the Balkan Rally, I have the opportunity to talk to an interesting colleague. Tommy comes from the island of Iž, near Zadar, drives a BMW F 850 ​​GS and has already covered many kilometers. 60,000 in two and a half years. Traveling is his passion, so through this conversation, I discover stories from his previous tours, as well as plans for future adventures that await him. First, I tell you, we were in the sixth month, we went to Georgia, Armenia, then we were at home for 20 days, then we went to the Nord Kap. Now I am here and in 10 days we are going to Morocco. Tommy, you don’t turn off the engine, do you? No, as long as the weather is nice, there are no shutdowns. You were on the Nord Kap with that bike? Yes. How many days did the tour last? 22 days. When we left, I was living on an island near Zadar, on Iža. Yeah. And when we started, the temperature was 36 degrees. I say to my wife, let’s go cool off a bit on the Nord Kap and cross from Denmark to Kristiansand and it’s 35 there. I say we hit the right spot. Climate change… But I didn’t get a single day of rain in all of Norway , we didn’t see bad weather at all. And as far as booking accommodation is concerned, are you day by day or not? I drive until 5 am, open Booking, find a hotel and that’s it. And how much was, for example, an overnight stay on average? Well, from 100 to 140 euros, that was somewhere around the average, in some normal hotels. Scandik has a chain. And Skandik, aha. Are there enough pumps? There is, there is, there is, there is. It is said that I am not there. I have our pump regularly. Kudos to Tommy. First the north, North Cape, then the Balkan Rally, and then the south direction, namely Africa, Morocco. He can’t stop anyone, except the olives. So let’s hear it. Who are you going with? My wife and I are going. By land or ship? And we will go to Girbaltar by motorbike and then we will take the ferry for an hour and a half and then we will continue. And back? Same, same… Same, all by land? Well, what about a boat, I’ve been riding a boat all my life to the island and back, and then I’m not really stressed. And how many days will the tour last? Well, we don’t have any restrictions, as many as we like, but certainly 15-20, maybe more. Tommy, you are a marathon runner. It depends on Morocco. It depends on how it goes there. Well, we can’t for the rest of our lives, we have to go back, um, because we have some olives. We have to pick it up there. At the end of the 10th of that month, otherwise, if there were no olives, they would have remained for me even longer. It’s morning, 7:30 a.m., I leave first. I decided to drive the section to Skopje by myself, to the first check point where I will wait for the rest of the team. I knew that the roads in Montenegro are bad, but I honestly did not expect this kind of quality. From Pljevlje to Ribarevina and further towards Berane, the road is full of surprises. Every now and then you switch from one type of asphalt to another. How to drive here? First of all, a calm pace, no rush. The engine should be kept upright, avoid sudden maneuvers and choose the straightest line of the road, however small it may seem. When there is a transition from better to bad asphalt, be sure to reduce the gas and let the suspension do its job. The class is tolerable so you hope the ordeal is over, and then suddenly there is a segment with holes, patches and completely uneven ground. That is exactly the most difficult. That sudden change in road quality. You just find the rhythm, and the road reminds you harshly that there is no relaxation here. I’m driving the Ribarevina – Berane section and it’s clear to me right away. This is an outdoor construction site. The works here have been going on for years. The equipment was also late, so the paving was additionally delayed. And what does the ride look like? You just pass a few hundred meters of decent macadam, you think there it is, it’s over and then a sudden transition to holes, mud, ponds. Drive past machines with no one around. It exhausts both the driver and the engine. This is not a road, this is a test of patience, concentration and driving technique. Finally the end of the pain. Berane, they will stand at the roundabout, give their opinion, and then the team will come along. I arrived in Ivangrad. I can state two things. Montenegro is well on its way to joining the Asian Union. And another thing, those who are responsible for the roads in Montenegro, the rule should apply to them: Today arrest, tomorrow trial, the day after tomorrow Spuž prison. I continue on towards Peja. Fortunately, there is a sign at this roundabout and it is a great success. Here’s the team, Rakela, Miro, Rade… and fellow team members here. Moving on, huh? Let’s move on. Let’s go. They would praise Montenegrin roads. The best in Europe. Happiness. Happiness. I see there is a road sign, there is Peć, on the left. But four years expires, it didn’t come… Yes. It’s not, it’s not. It’s good. see you see you Bye. Hello. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. From Beran, I’m heading towards Rožaje, then I’ll take the direction to Kula, Peć, Priština and further towards Skopje. I arrive quickly, and even faster I pass through Rozaje and turn right towards Kula. I slowly start to climb. I can already feel the mountain air. The engine is running under load. Every next bend brings a new surprise. I am leaving Montenegro and entering Kosovo and Metohija. I descend towards Peć, mountain pass and curve after curve. Unfortunately, due to my busy schedule, I don’t have the opportunity to stop and visit the Peć patriarchate monastery. I was there a few years ago, but I still have it planned for a future trip, because that place is the real heart of Serbian history in this area. I continue on towards Pristina. While counting the kilometers, I assess whether there will be a chance to stop by the Gračanica monastery. It is a gem of medieval Serbian architecture and certainly a place worth visiting. But this time it all depends on the rhythm and the traffic. Driving through Kosovo and Metohija is mostly on the plain with open views and long routes. However, caution is needed here as well . Local traffic can be surprising and the road quality is constantly changing. Every kilometer requires concentration. If everything goes according to plan, maybe I’ll be there, at least briefly, to visit Gracanica. If not, there remains a reason to return. And you already know how it goes. There are always new opportunities for adventure. It’s noon, in an hour there is a check point in Skopje. I continue from Pristina to Skopje, in front of the entrance to Macedonia, I stop at a gas station to buy gas. A short break of five minutes. From the time I left Pljevje to here, I drove 320 km. I am right in front of the border with Macedonia. I’ll stop here, have a coffee. I paid 1 euro and 35 cents for gasoline. It’s past noon. I kept a good rhythm. The road is in bad condition, especially through Montenegro and this first part through Kosovo. from Pristina onwards, the road is in slightly better condition. Cappuccino Cappuccino . 1? one What is the password for the internet? Password? Password, internet code. Good. Here’s a cappuccino with whipped cream. I drank my cappuccino, it’s time to move on towards Skopje. I will soon arrive at the first checkpoint location, the Špajz restaurant, which is located in the very center of Skopje. There will be a lunch break, an opportunity to rest and recharge. I will wait for the arrival of the other participants of the rally so that we can all gather before continuing the journey. After lunch we continue on. The next destination is Đevđelija. The adventure continues through Macedonian landscapes and new challenges on the way. Where are you from? Is this possible, man? A girl is sitting and I just say “what a fuck”. This is me, this is Chika Story, hey. If we had agreed, we would not have been able to meet. That’s right. Wow, I can’t believe it, hey… Where are you? Respect, How are you? how are you Great. I thought you were waiting for me there. I can’t believe it . Ai ai. Do you want to drink coffee there first? Let me just call here to see if anyone has come. Hello. Are we the first? It is. Great. Welcome to us. Great. Thank you, thank you. I’ll have a coffee with my friend first. We’re across the street from here. Where is the place for us? Out there somewhere? So from here to there. And towards there. Good. He doesn’t answer when he comes to Skopje and.. Coincidentally. We have to do this. This, this is good to… This is good. Great. It is important that we have people everywhere. So come on, I ‘m waiting for you here. Valid, valid, valid. Thank you. Come on. Hey bye bye Maria Chika Story Philip, when did you buy this new throat? I took this two weeks ago. Are you satisfied? Well, I am for now. What “Well”? Well, look, I drove a Honda Africa Twin. A Honda institution, you know. Yeah. You still know Honda though. Well, you know Treba, I need some time to… I don’t know, to get to know him better. By the way, this automatic is the same as mine… You chose an automatic. Well, yes, yes. You know it’s going to be Indian. Here there is no clutch… Yes, yes, I know. I drove, I tried, both automatic and manual. Yes, yes Nice color Trophy. Yes. Side suitcases, do you have them? Side suitcases, no, because my dealer doesn’t have anything in stock and he told me if I want to make that order, poračka as they say in Serbian, it will take next year, so for now, let’s go like this. How far did you go? I crossed, now we’ll see… about 1000 something like that. Is there a tour planned soon? Well, not for now. Maybe to Thessaloniki, a day tour and that’s it. Yes. Here’s how many kilometers… New, new, new New, new, new. Here she is. You see this is not at all… Yes. And you didn’t take it off. Here is my uncle driving a 1250 Adventure. This one is the 1300 Adventure. He says that the comfort is the same, and the wind protection is much better on the 1300, although because this trophy has a small windshield, the small windshield is better than the old huge windshield. So, that’s it. The engine is very good. Fine, good luck to you, may it serve you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Did you sell the Honda or not? I am. Did you? And I am, I am, I am. Good, now you are calm. One for 3-4 years. Well, roughly. About, yes. Philip, nice to see you. Me too. Thanks for the drink. I’m going. My friends are already slowly arriving. No problem. And then we’ll see each other. See you again. Thank you. The first team from Rijeka arrives, and there is also Miša Hromčik from Zrenjanin. I arrived an hour ago. What are the impressions from the road? None. Well, the Offroad Nothing special. A little mud, a little pig, have you seen what it looks like? Well, I saw it, I went through it too. Yes. Yes. Did you go that way too? So there, we had better go down, Mojkovac Kolašin and then around But then from Kolašin to… Same, same, Berane. The same goes for Berane, Rožaje… Yes, yes, that means Kolašin – Berane was possible. It’s an alternative direction. He was bad before Beran. Yes. Before Beran, it is… From Ribarevina. Yes yes. Well, let’s go. And that goes to internship. Yes See what the engines look like. And what do you think it rained today? Although, GSs and docks should be this dirty, right? Guys, what are your impressions from the road? Great, great. Awesome, huh? Offroad was good? Yes yes. Here I see… Real Balkan Rally Real, yes, yes, that’s it. It justifies the name of the rally. Obviously, someone put it together carefully. Did you take breaks somewhere? Good. Just the border and fuel. Well yes. Luke, you’ve arrived, huh? Is he blowing on his neck or? We can’t see from behind. What transitive tense, third? I don’t know, I didn’t even look. What happened. Here, and here at the border, before Kosovo, i.e. between the borders, my motorcycle fell into a hole in the road and catapulted it While driving? While driving, yes . Well, it’s not terrible. Some 50 an hour, but thank God there it is. But here, thank God, nothing special, slightly bruised shoulder, ribs, but everything is fine. And the engine? The engine is as if nothing happened to it. Let’s see the engine. The important thing is that you are well. Yes yes. And when did you come? I see you for the first time. I came yesterday. And you came yesterday? Yesterday, yesterday around 7 am. Here you see this. This was made. Yeah. There, there. A miracle to the engine, nothing. But it’s… So, just a little suitcase here. Yeah. Suitcase, this, this here. Good. It means yes, yes, well, that means it has the purpose of protecting. But, what’s worst, it means there between the borders is a precipice below, it means it’s on a hill, the engine stopped somewhere a few meters from the precipice. The precipice is almost 50 m . Luck in the accident. Happiness in misfortune, yes. But that’s where everything goes. All right. Ravan, let’s go, let’s go on. Good. So only that down on the knee. Yes. It tore a little, he tore a little with his knee, but… You’re from Graz, do you live there? From Graz, yes. Otherwise from Šibenik, from Croatia. But we live in Graz. This is my father. And the father. Yeah. And the same. And that’s the father. Yeah. And respect. Bye, bye. I am Chika Story Julio senior. We met a little while ago. And the jacket? Nothing. I didn’t even look. Quality jacket. Yes Because the hands are probably when I fell hands by my side, you mean from the side. And what was the speed? 50-60 km/h 50-60 km/h We drove heroically. And you went behind or in front? I was in front of him. I was the last one. The colleague in front of me stopped. He says he fell, he fell. I don’t have it, there’s no one else but my son. I’ll be right back. It’s fine, thank God. It’s good. Okay, not terrible. He never fell. It was time for him to have a few hundred thousand on the bike. And… it has to, it has to, it has to Sometimes it has to… It has to happen sometime What’s here is, life goes on, and it’s time for lunch Moussaka cheese with crust. The waiter explains to Misha and me what is on the table. Uh… but what is it rolled into? It’s a leaf. And the leaf is… Sarmi of vines. And yes, it’s a vine… Cheese from the crust, moussaka, apple, homemade cabbage chips , pinđur, sheep’s cheese, uranebes, sauce, ajvar, ljutenica. Le le And just for the two of us, just that much for the two of us? To health. Thank you. It will be a struggle. The Gastro search engine will be recording the Zucchini show, that’s right, their cheeses cheese in pancetta. That’s right. This looks great to me. Especially this vine sarmica which is filled with minced meat. I think it’s going to be great. And of course their brandy. You can see more about the kind of food that accompanied us during the Balkan Rally on the Gastro search YouTube channel. Lunch is ready. We are leaving Skopje. Skopje has a microclimate. Burning summer brake winter. City bricks, bare hills, blue sky, hard earth Maten Vardar flows fast, carries secrets, time drags Skopje makes a fall stop, there are nine angry early Skopje has famous little ones, Debar little one is no joke, Skopje Java is a fast horse, and hey Macedonian boy Smile, don’t worry, wink at me, come on cheers, Skopje… I left it to Vlatko Stefanovski to say for me, that is, to sing everything he knows about Skopje. Today’s first part of the journey was tiring, but the food at the Špajz restaurant in Skopje reset us. We continue our journey towards Đevđelia. There is almost no traffic, but attention is always on the asphalt. The engine is still looking for focus. The atmosphere in the group is great and everyone are excited about the next destination, i.e. the next check point, which is the premises of the Fenix ​​motorcycle club in Đevđelia. They are celebrating their first birthday today, and soon you will find out who the godfather is, that is, who gave them the name Phoenix At Javor Agapi restaurant in Mrzenci , ready and fragrant lamb is waiting for us. A perfect end to the ride before the birthday party in Dojran. The group is unique. We all know this is more than a rally. This is socializing, sharing adrenaline, food and good company. The night at Dojran will be special. Birthday party, motto stories and new memories that we will carry with us. Besides the few participants who came on scooters, the majority of the group consists of GS motor riders. Everyone with their own experience, driving style and mileage behind them. However, one detail attracts attention. We also have a female participant in the group. This is Rafaela from Lošinj. He drives a GS 1300 and has a huge number of kilometers behind him. This is the right combination. Experienced GS riders, a couple of scooter riders who bring a bit of charm and dynamism and Rafaela who shows that kilometers and experience have no gender. The group is diverse, but we all share the same goal. Enjoying the road, landscape and adrenaline that Balkan Rally brings. And after 490 km from this morning’s departure from Pljevlja, I arrived in Đevđelija. Temperature 30° On entering the city, I stopped at a gas station to buy gas. And now the direction of the premises of the Fenix ​​motorcycle club. There is a check point. And after that, we all go to dinner together at Javor Agapi restaurant. The weather is sunny, it’s warm, I took off my jacket, here are a few more kilometers and I’ll arrive… The Balkan Rally is almost over here. Fortunately, not for me, but for a wireless microphone that fell into my path. Although it does not seem that I performed this action with the engine safely. I am. I immediately turned on four blinkers, looked at all four sides. On top of that, I saved the microphone. I’m waiting for Dejanco, now Dejanco will come in a few minutes. I knew how to find the Eiffel Tower, but I don’t know the Fenix ​​Motorcycle Club Hi bro, what are you doing? Here I am waiting for you to come. So, how, how, as the motorbikes come, I’m just looking like this , not this one, not this one, so where do I say Chika Story… Let’s go. Dejancho Andonov from Bogorodica welcomes me in Đevđelia, a friend I met a few years ago, a real biker, always willing to meet when I pass this way. His energy immediately lifts the atmosphere, and hanging out with him is more than an ordinary meeting. We reached the premises of the Phoenix motorcycle club. Every encounter confirms how valuable these travel and driving relationships are and how much they motivate for new adventures in the Balkans. Shim, did you last? Hardly today. Is it possible, man? Come on me. Was it difficult? This was really killer today. Kudos to you. It is 500 km. Have you stopped in Skopje for lunch? We are. And you succeeded. I heard you managed to wash the engines. We are and that… You have fulfilled today. Come on me. But the trunk, my trunk is falling off from that posture of the abdominals. Another small motor. Come on, long live Shime… Long live Chika… Tomorrow we continue to Greece. Are you ready? Have you ever been to Greece? I am. And you were. I am surprised that you Dalmatians are going to Greece. Filming what… Oh, if you were in Rhodes, in Rhodes… It was great. It was really fun so I’m looking forward to Greece again Aha. I think that some, some memories will bring back Emotions to work a little. Yes, yes. What year was that? Last year. And last year? Yes, Shime normally drives… This smallest engine. Well, I saw him, only you entered. This is his first ride, you know. It’s his first ride, he passed for “A” category now 15 days ago. That’s right… And an immediate baptism of fire. Immediately And here I am. He had a course with Željan. And what do you say when you get back? Do you want to buy something bigger? Well, I’ll think about it. So, well, I’m returning this engine to the shop and everything… but you could think about a more serious saw for some time and… It must take 2 years to get a slightly, slightly bigger engine or not? Why? By cubic capacity… No, I have passed for the largest category, no, it’s not a problem , so there’s no A1, A2… No, I had an A2 and now I only topped up A… I thought you didn’t top up, that’s why you’re driving the one a little smaller. No, I got this one sponsored. And let me tell you, even I would have a hard time driving that motorcycle now, you know, it’s still naked, you know, it doesn’t have a visor. No visor Tommy, did you last? This was… How was it? The last one was a little hard. This morning it was 9 when we stopped, it was 32 and then you bite a bit, you know, that bit of fatigue, and then when you start, until you get a little bit of gas, they are a bit different, but then when we start, it goes, but it was ok, it was fine. Only this section of the road from Bjelo polje to Beran, they were for nothing. And I passed in the first month of this year. Well, you see. Yeah. Well, when it stays on the branch from the exhaust and when it heats up , it burns like cement. You can’t wash it off with water anymore. I scraped it with a brush once for 3 days. Roommate, how did you do today? Great. Kind of a rush but we got through. You went with the first group, how? I went alone. I left at 7:30 a.m. And later, earlier? Not before… I was the first to go. Shim, are social networks worse? I don’t have time to look at my phone. Well, Rakela, welcome. Thank you. Thank you for this again this year for being here with us. Thank you for being our hosts again. And so we have a little treat for you. Here, before you pay attention to us, I would like to give you one attention for your first birthday under the name Club Fenix. This is your Brački stone as a sign of friendship between our two clubs. I am giving this to you. Well done, well done. this is difficult. So you said that the White House is made of Brac stone . One confession. Well done. Thank you. Now we will do this. This is our tu ball product. So these are grapes from this area and brandy inside and from our sticker. You heard here that Miro from the Gastro search engine likes brandy, so you prepared this brandy. And a little attention, a little treasure here, just as anyone wants. Well done. That’s it. And then we’ll have a cake at the party and that… It’s okay. There you go. Nothing. Another round of applause for our hosts. Grab some brandy here and help yourself to the cakes, and in five minutes we’re off to dinner. Faster, until Miro came… With cakes, five minutes. Thank you very much. Here. Here you go. Come on, come on, Chika Story Here you go. Here you go. Thank you. The most significant moment at the Balkan Rally Gastro right now. There, that’s it. Miro, what do you say? Do you mind? No, actually. I think that by the end of the trip, we will stick at least a couple of such stickers. Yes, yes. Namely, after he paid him today’s bill of 30 rakija, he has to pay all… 24 rakija… Correction of the statement 24 rakija. I apologize. He has no regard for my three children. He takes my kids out of my mouth. A disaster. He’s ruthless. I’d be honored if you put this sticker on my bike. Since I don’t have one, I don’t like to glue, but I’ll gladly do this one. Seriously? I will gladly do this. Here. Kudos to you. Thank you my friend. Just hold on. Here it will be recorded. Well, me, well Chika Story, all the best. Is it possible? All the best my friend. No stickers, my first. All the best. It is an honor and a pleasure. Well, thanks. A parade through Đevđelia starts. Participants of Balkan Rally Gastro and motorcycle club Fenix. These are definitely the most cheerful moments in the entire Balkan Rally Gastro 2025. We are located in Đevđelia and here you can really feel a special energy. Many thanks to our dear friends from this place for the warm welcome and for the excellent organization of the motorcycle parade. They really welcomed us with open arms. The line-up is impressive: 50 bikes from rally participants plus bikers from the Phoenix Motorcycle Club. In the evening, the city practically burns from the exhaust gases, the sound of sirens and engines. People are watching us, and all participants feel adrenaline and excitement. This is a real moto atmosphere. Another delicacy awaits us at Javor Agapi restaurant. Lamb already smells and attracts us, and we all look forward to the moment when we will stop and enjoy the food. Nice procession through Đevđelia. Temperature 32°. Fantastic summer weather. There are a lot of couples. Here’s one with Bulgarian plates. Girl from Rijeka 1300 GS new. Here we have the audience. Ahead of us is the announced motorcycle party on the coast of Dojran. The atmosphere is promising. Music, laughter, stories about travels and motorbikes, everything that makes Balkan Rally Gastro special. A small reminder of what awaits us in the coming days of the rally. Tomorrow we are moving to Greece. First Thessaloniki and then a free afternoon that I will spend on a beautiful beach. In the evening we will go to Kalambaka. Meteors are our farthest point in this rally. And I already know that a challenge awaits us. One engine will fail so we will have a technical adventure on the road. After Meteor, there is a return to the north. We will go to Albania to the coastal town of Valona. I don’t expect very good roads in Albania, but it is a part of the rally that tests patience and concentration, but gives the opportunity to see the authentic landscapes of this part of the Balkans. Then we will drive to Lake Ohrid, and then we will return to Montenegro . No less and no more than Ulcinj. This route combines all the elements of the Balkan Rally, mountains, coast, cities, technical challenges and driving adventure. And finally, we will end the trip in Split. The final ceremony awaits us there. It will be an opportunity to sum up all the kilometers, adventures and good times. The following days are a combination of adrenaline, free time, technical challenges and of course, beautiful company. Everything that makes this rally special and unforgettable.

We are glad that you came and we hope that this gathering will continue for years and years to come. I hope the same… That we are all alive and healthy for another 100 years. That’s right. That’s what Bajaga says. That’s right. The same Đevđelia, right? That’s right, everyone…Ducati. As soon as it’s Ducati, it’s not Split for sure. Yes. But there you only drive a BMW, only a GS… There are no engines like here. GS only. GS only. Lack of cancer. Mani rakama The youngest How old are you? Eight years Eight, is it eight or eight? Zeljana, does the name of the Phoenix club have anything to do with you? Of course it has to do with me. Last year at the 13th Balkan Rally we were here in Gevgelija for the first time and our hosts received us just as well as this year. After the reception and everything, they invited me to the premises of their club, where they asked me one question, it says something like this, we used to be a motorcycle club called “Rare Birds”, unfortunately we split into two groups. We can no longer use the name of that club and we have been thinking about what to call the club for two months. Could you help us? I had some inspiration there and then I said, you were born from rare birds, now you have crumbled into ashes and you will rise again like the Phoenix, the club should be called the Phoenix. And they immediately accepted that, they called me the godfather of the club and I promised them that we would come next year to celebrate their first anniversary of this club, and here we are now . After the dinner of all the participants here in the 14th Balkan Rally, we will go to the hotel where we will celebrate their first birthday together with the members of MK Feniks. So the fun continues? The fun continues after this wonderful lamb, we move to the party where cake and birthday celebrations await us. Beautiful. We all go together in motorbikes, and they go in motorbikes? Yes, yes. Let’s all go together. Now we have made a wonderful parade through Gevgelija. There were over 100 engines in the convoy. We raised drones. I saw that you shot well. All the best. So I can’t wait to see how it will be edited. Thank you. Thank you. Well, this tomato really steams, I’ve never seen that in my life. I think it can grow more… Yes, it looks like a watermelon to me, not a tomato. Let us, er, cut up some tomatoes to start with, then we’ll just mix it up a bit. It can. The restaurant is located just a few kilometers from the Greek border, and according to many, the best lamb in the region is served here. The meat is perfectly cooked, it melts in your mouth, and the crispy crust is very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful. This is the head chef of Javor Agapi restaurant. A standing ovation. All the best. The best lamb on this road. We finished dinner. The food was outstanding. Now the drive to Stari Dojran follows. Some 30 km. Romantik Plaza Hotel. You must be wondering how the birthday party was. Here I arrived in front of the Romantik Plaza Hotel. Today I covered 545 km. Hello, I’m Čika Story Čika Story This is a special evening at Dojran. Phoenix Motorcycle Club is celebrating its first birthday. One year of companionship, driving, challenges and togetherness. This is an opportunity to look back on all that they did, from the first kilometers to the parade to the joint gatherings and to celebrate that togetherness. Members have arrived, motorcycles parked, smiles present, young and old motorcyclists, friends, supporters of the club, everyone is here to share this moment. For us Rally participants, this is a moment to stop and feel how much we are all part of something bigger. That would be all for today. Thank you for your attention and all the best
