Dear all,
I had a wonderful moto half-season. It was half season, because I bought my bike in August.
I travelled with the motorcycle over a 3500 km. As this is my first bike, I think it was more than enough.
As you all advised me, I put crash bungs. Unfortunately I dropped the bike several times and those crash bungs was unattached at all. They are long enough, but don't work for me. Crash bungs of the rudder war more than helpful for me.
Still I looking for engine guards, not only bungs. If any one helps me whit this, I'll be very grateful.
Let I make short review of my first trip. Me and my boyfriend took two backpacks, top case and another backpack on my Raptor's tail - clothes, tools, chain for locking the bikes and went to our two-week trip. I drive Raptor 650. His bike is Honda Dominator 650.

First we started from Sofia (Capital of Bulgaria) and travelled to Veliko Tarnovo. Those are around 220 km, half of them on highway, so it was easy.
Next day we went near the sea sight - Kamenar. I have relatives there. Again around 220 km highroad.
Third day we travelled to beautiful sea town Varna. Those were 160 km, little bit more difficult, because there was a pass, not too curvy, but still a pass.
After this we rested 7 days. I gathered my strength for next week full of everyday driving in the mountains of Bulgaria, especially Rodopi.
At the eight's day morning we gotten the way to Svilengrad. 300 km wasn‘t anything special, of course we have several “caw jam” on the road. This part of Bulgaria is incredible with its views.
Next day we travelled to Zlatograd. 170 km in mountain road and all day driving. It was unbelievable hot weather.
After one night rest we drove forward to Dospat Dam. Unfortunately we wasn’t able to go there, few turns after Smolyan I dropped my bike and broken my brake clutch lever. So we slowly returned to Smolyan and slept there overnight. Good thing was that we were only 1-2 km from the town. Bad thing was there are no shops for moto parts. At the morning we received new lever sent by a friend via forwarder.
Those was only 120 km, but very stressful for me.
Next day we get the lever and pick up our stuff as fast as we can and go to Bratsigovo. Town with mineral spring water. Those are 100 km, but again in the mountain, with many turns and large difference in the slopes, so again all day driving. We drove near Vacha River. This is a view everyone must see at least one in his/her live.
We drink, we eat, we sleep and the morning comes, so we turn on our bikes and get the way back, almost to Smolyan.
We rest in Shiroka Laka.
And of course our destination - Pamporovo:
After 2 days rest our vacation go to its end and we were forced to go home, aka Sofia. 230 km was not the happiest one, because of the tomorrow’s working day.
Soooo this is my very very short version of my very very first 2000 km on my bike. At the map they are 1600, but in real were almost 2000.
Hope everyone was enjoying my little review of my trip.
