    • @FreddieDobbs
      @FreddieDobbs  2 роки тому +9

      You’re absolutely spot on Grant. Even the old Soviet developments that may not be beautiful, are still clean. The Lithuanians take far more pride in the cleanliness of their surroundings than we do in the UK. Even dropping a cigarette doesn’t really happen in Lithuania- they’re stubbed out, put in a car ash tray, and disposed of at home. I’ve been trying to work out why we don’t take as much care of our surroundings in the UK, and I still can’t really understand it

      I travelled a few countries around, and one Lithuanian character became very very apparent. People take care of their yards, even in old soviet blocks. People plant flowers, trees under their balconies. Whilst elsewhere a grass can reach your knees until municipality cuts the grass.

    I'd agree on pricing. Food shopping is actually more expensive than Ireland. It used to be really cheap. Anecdotally they say the transition to the euro introduced a lot of price gouging. Basically what cost, say, 2 litas got priced at 2 euros which is ridiculous. It never really balanced out. When you factor in the average wage v the cost of living, it is quite expensive to live there. Electricity and gas was always expensive and it was the poor teaching wages that forced my wife and I to leave.

    Hepco & Becker panniers and top cases are the best.
    I still have a Buell. They are brilliant bikes. Mine is the long-travel suspension XB12X Ulysses: longer wheelbase than the one you looked at. My favourite bike I've owned.
    Vilnius seems like a nice place. I can't see myself ever going, though. Is Lithuania part of the 90-day with no visa EU area? It is a real hassle in Portugal now since we left the EU. Post from GB takes forever to get here, for no real reason. I've been waiting for my new UK driving licence to arrive for ages. Can't ride my trike. I'm thinking of selling up and dumping the place.

      My Buell XB12X was only the second tall bike with long-travel suspension to have 17'' wheels; the first was the original Ducati Multistrada 1000. The XB is unbelievably tractable, pulling top gear [5th] briskly from 1,000 revs/20 mph. All you need to do to go really quickly on it is keep it between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm.
