You need stamina. Grit. True grit. One day after another. You have to be tough. Somedays you walk out and you hate the hell out of your machine. You have to do it again. In a few minutes you are in love with it again. A new world awaits around every turn. Good vid. All points which one needs to RTW. Learn that motorcycle. More importantly learn yourself. You will be your own worst enemy day in day out. Get used to being lonely. Somedays are pure hell. The enemy within attacks. Fight like hell and move on. There is always hope. Around the bend a friend awaits. Do it. All good from east Kentucky. Nomad Mountain man
Another skill is to keep warm :) From around 15ºC and below it is important to have a good wind and temperature protection to keep riding for long hours.
It’s definitely both skill and gear. Proper use of any gear takes some skill to make it work right. Preparation and planning ahead with contingency plans, reading forecasts, finding emergency warmth , listening to your body and knowing your limitations all takes some cold weather skills. If you do not have these skills you wont get far safely.
Very easy if you're used to doing it. Extremely difficult if you're new to it. I'm almost superstitious about it. You'll have many trips with no punctures. But then you do something to anger the punctures gods and get 4 punctures on one trip.
@maximilianpaech1944 Main mistake is that people don't have the rest of the tyre in the "deep side" of the rim whilst fitting or removing. Take small bites with levers and make sure the rest of the tyre in way off the bead in the vally of the rim.
What a big true. I’m bulgarian living from many years in Spain And i’ve got a Gs 1250. I dont know how to ride other motorcycles because of electronics of the gs, i love it but it makes you bad rider Very good video, congrats !!!!
Thanks Pavlin for another amazing video! I just love your content!!! Preparation is also very important, i would place the bike capability for the type of adventure you are about to do in this category. For example, my bike will do the first segment of the trip in the video you used today with ~ 75% confidence when dry. 50 when wet and probably 10 if mudy. Confidence factor is coming from me the rider, after all its my bike so i do know its capabilities and limits. So if its muddy, instead of adventure, ill have a survival challenge, which can sometimes happen, but if i had a choice id avoid it. Maybe it will ruin my trip, but that would be a reason to come back and finish it another time, or with another bike. Safe travels :)
Good stuff, I need to hear this stuff from you. In terms of communication skills I would add learn to draw. I am dyslexic but a can draw very well and it helps me a lot. I had a Phantom which was just dreadful off-road,, or even dirt roads. I bought a Honda CRF250 and that gave me a chance, uncomfortable 2 up. But I find my Royal Enfield Meteor even better with it's low centre of gravity. I am 73 and have two sayings. 1. Everything I did in life proved easier than I thought. 2. Everything I did in my life I wish I had done earlier. I am nowhere near in your class, but still push as hard as possible. Thanks.
Hi pavlin .I watch your channel because your channel is based on facts and common sense. . I am an ex racer and have owned my own suspension and service shop .i have been riding for 60 of my 65 years and yet I find your channel of interest and informative.keep up the good work 👍🦘🇭🇲 .
Great video as always. When you have gotten used to relying on safety systems, as you mentioned, it certainly demands your upmost respect and attention when occasionally riding whiteout them. First accident that came to mind was actually from the F1 championship, San Marino Racetrack back in 1994. After being supported by advanced safety systems for some time, they were banned in the F1 race cars to make for more entertaining races. As a consequence Ayrton Senna da Silva age 34, fatally crashed in to a wall in high speed. Safety systems were again implemented in F1 race cars not to long after, as a result. Have a safe trip to South America. Ayrton was from Brasil, this might be the reason he came to my mind …
I paid almost the same as you for a 450RL to avoid rider aid electronics- But my bike could never happily do some of the things your only slightly bigger bike can do easily. I can only safely do local adventures comfortably while you have a map of the world that you can explore and nothing can stop you. That bike really does fit you perfectly and sometimes you gotta make the bits you dont really want or need work for you to get out there and just get on with it.
So,so true, the more gadgets, the you rely on them, to the detriment of your own riding skills. 🤔 And when the time comes to change your bike, you might won’t to get the same one an take all the upgrades of your old one, because I think there will be plenty of second hand ones with ow mileage, all thinking of conquering the world yet never leaving there home ground. Looking forward to your South American adventures Pavlin and stay safe 💪😎
You have a great trips. 🎉. What you had spoken on this topic it just logical. Without the WILL. You go nowhere. Without the Skill. You unable to know the short coming. Practice make perfect. Every topic of your is a good guide line. And grwt topic. Thank you once again. Palvin 🎉
@@motorcycleadventures I'm of the same school, my bike does not even have ABS and surely I do not want any kind of traction control, good thing about the new tenere is that you can disable everything before you even take off, I like the other Tweeks they did to the bike like the gearing and stronger muffler support and suspensions
I totally agree about motivation. I had a bad crash in Pakistan 35 years ago. I thought my trip to Australua was over. But I managed to get the bike on a truck and a train to a major city and in Pakistan they can fix anything. English say ' prior planning prevents piss poor perfornce' I wish you well in South America. I've only seen a small part but amazing continent.
It is a good summary to the point. Off-road is becoming harder these days with all the regulations unfortunately. It is like forcing people to be programmed. As you said, having the will is crucial to cover the important points in becoming a better rider as in life. By the way, your voice recording is better now with your new equipment!
Agree with your electronic aid comments in the video. Not sure how ride by wire throttles cope in difficult conditions for an extended period. Its not the most easy thing to fix even if you have the knowledge without spare parts.
I really appreciate what you’re doing! In my opinion, point 2 might be unnecessary since your channel is in English, and viewers without basic English skills likely won’t watch the video.
Hallo Pavlin.I am watching "two wheels three sheets" traveling on south America and they are going 95% off road to see aal the different beauties of the countries.

Many thanks for all your shares Pavlin! From CT, U.S.A.
My pleasure!
It's mind blowing to me how few people can actually fix a flat tyre.
It is easy job, just needs practice!
@@motorcycleadventures easy Job ? You ve never done it right ?
I have done it many times!
Very easy if you're used to doing it. Extremely difficult if you're new to it.

What a beautiful day to ride a bike.
It looks like your roads are the same as ours in uk..
Good advices.
Ride safe 👍
Yes, it was great day to ride. About the roads... I am not sure!
Thanks Pavlin for another amazing video!

Hi Pavlin, I have a different thought on traction control. It’s better to have on than not, it smooths out your travel.
Fair enough!
Thank you and as always well done!
Thanks again!

Much Enjoyment 👍😎
Thanks for the visit!
Good motivation to take my bicycle every day and ride the hell out of it on all types of routes.
Go for it!
Pavlin, you're right ...Joachim, Greetings from Germany
Thanks for taking the time, Joachim!
Thanks for sharing.

Participate in rally, Pavlin - not precipitate ☝😀 Precipitate = changing from cloud to rain..... smt. like that
Agree!
Nice vid ❤
Thanks!
It is a good summary to the point. Off-road is becoming harder these days with all the regulations unfortunately. It is like forcing people to be programmed. As you said, having the will is crucial to cover the important points in becoming a better rider as in life. By the way, your voice recording is better now with your new equipment!

I agree every word you sad. Thanks.
Good!
A good mindset is crucial. Good times
Absolutely!
How many km of gravel road from your place to the asphalt road?
5 or 6, never count it.
Bulgaria look’s adventurous. Is this standard countryside roads? What is the best route from Scandinavia?
There are thousands of roads like this in Bulgaria.
Jealous of that ride into town!
Every place some positives and negatives.
👍✌
Thanks for taking the time!
Nice Video Pavlin. 11 Days until "Wheels up" for South America.
Like and subscribe.
Thanks, man!
I really appreciate what you’re doing! In my opinion, point 2 might be unnecessary since your channel is in English, and viewers without basic English skills likely won’t watch the video.
That is true, but they might share this information with many of their friends who don't speak English.
Number 1 could also read: "Don't carry your country and culture with you." That applies especially to us westerners. 😂😂
Good advice!
Hallo Pavlin.I am watching "two wheels three sheets" traveling on south America and they are going 95% off road to see aal the different beauties of the countries.
Good!
