    Morning Bruce. Secrete Base. That brings back an old joke from them old Funny Half-hour magazines. Airforce car with a general pulls up next to a farmer leaning over a gate and ask for directions to the top secret air base. The farmer replies... About half mile on your left. You can't miss it, it's camouflaged 😂. Honestly the things that come into my mind watching your vids. Thanks for that, and for sharing. Safe riding to you and the Clan 👍😊.

    Hello. The secret base is called Željava or the secret object Klek 505. There are plenty of history videos on youtube on how it was built and worked. Interesting stuff. And of course if you have some good lights and a map ( anyone can find it on web ) you can go through the whole inside wich is fascinaiting how big it actualy is.

      Yeah the T7 seemed faster mid range - but I am about 8 stone heavier than Peter so that’ll make a big difference.

    Man, the landscape is beautiful and the secret base very cool. Thanks for this video Bruce.
    I remember I had booked a hotel back then in nowadays Croatia for motorcycle holidays, I was there on vacation before and I liked it so much that I wanted to explore it by bike. Just 4 weeks before our ride we cancelled the vacation cause thing's seemed to get pretty tight. In fact, if we would have gone at our second day there the war started.
