Totally agree with u my friend. I’m from Dubai and always ride with full gear. It means I only ride when the weather permits it as I refuse to ride without full gear when it’s hot. Rather not ride then.
According to statistics in America, the most frequent fractures motorcyclists have in an accident are legs, hands and wrists (not arms) and heads. In the article they were saying, that people think that back armor is very important, but in reality, the injuries to the spine are usually of such nature (mainly compression injuries), that the current design of back protectors provide very little. They were saying that often neglected things like the neck/collar bone braces are significantly more useful than traditional things like back and chest protectors. And to have proper boots, gloves and helmet is what everyone should start with. I have no idea if this is true. Just sharing info, that I read, sounded logically written and was backed up with some statistics.
"Dress for the slide, not the ride!" I completely agree with your statement. I have old scars on my knees, and guess why? ;-) Cheers from Nürnberg/Germany, Günter
indeed there are no secrets, concerning the gear. I got interested with your series about travel in Bulgaria. Just got back from a 2,5 week trip to your homeland. It surpassed all our expectations. Surprised that we did not meet many motorcycle travelers, in this motorcyclist paradise. Well kept secret !
Hi mate, great content as always. You were one of the main people to inspire my mate and I to ride Australia to Sydney on our dr650s. We tried to wear our full gear even in the extreme heat which was needed as we had our fair few crashes haha. Keep up the amazing work
Preach! Really honest video. I agree 100% with everything said. Personally I got all of my gear before I even got my first bike as I knew not to ride without it anyway. I got high quality Dainese gear so 4 years later, It's still in mint condition and the only set I ever needed to buy
Excellent video..BTW I still love your Central Asia motorcycle videos..One of your best videos with your friend and the music Ayterek Gunterek, Turkmenistan 👍👍
Brilliantly presented and sound common sense ...totally agree ...as a veteran rider with many many " spills" under my belt I can still walk and drink beer ...probably because correct riding gear works
After 40+ years of riding, four years ago I walked away from a motorcycle accident. I had only a couple small bruises but the bike was completely destroyed. I was dressed for the slide, which I did for about 50+ meters, not the ride. Jacket, pants, helmet, gloves and boots had to be replaced at a cost that was less than an ambulance ride and visit to the emergency room. My insurance would have covered most of the medical expenses but none of the pain! Proper gear suddenly became very inexpensive.
I did competitive bicycle sport for years, been falling on asphalt many times with no gear :). Let me tell you, even when you do 40-50 km/h and fall gravel and sand gets in to your skin and it is not healing pretty:)). Especially girls ,those scars will stay for life .
Regardim on waring body armour, i think it can be useful only on dirt jump/motocross reading, and that's it ! But in terms of 'adv' reading, it is totally unuseful.
Great advice again sir. I must admit I have been very lucky when it comes to crashing, especially on the road so never tested the gear I have bought, but off road that is a different story, problem being it was many years ago in the 1980s and good protective gear did not really exist so it was boots, helmet and jeans with a jumper of some sort. Then along came MX pants and jerseys but still no body armour, but it was a lot cooler to ride in so less fatigue so less crashes, later when proper body armour and knee braces were more common that was invested in but by then the damage had been done, knees and shoulders were not so good by then. Road gear has improved so much over the last 40 years with the advent of textiles, and dare I say mainly thanks to the adventure market, light protective waterproof gear that breathes is a world away from what was around 25 years ago and 40 years ago it was a case of being cold and wet was just the norm or being very hot when it warmed up. It took me a long time but eventually found the money to buy good gear, KLIM, but my god it was worth it, chalk and cheese, comfort is the big difference, less fatigue so less mistakes, you stay drier and warmer when needed and cooler when needed without having to stop so much to either add or subtract layers or liners.
Excelent video. Always shall remember your statement: total safety is an illusion. It really is, as it will depend also of how other drivers behave. And, unfortunately,we all commit mistakes, so do other drivers. Not to mention other aspects such as oil and holes, animals crossing etc..... It demands a lot of discipline to use full gear in hot countries, with very hot weather all year long, even with airflow equipment. But it is crucial. Many thanks from Brazil Pavlin. Cheers
I started with idea "I can manage with cheaper items". Like for example insted of motorcycle gloves I had gloves for construction workers. I had a cheap LIDL helmet etc. After less then a year I bought everything: New helmet, new jacket new gloves... Now the cheap items are on shelf collecting dust because it just don't work. So actually I burned money on it with no use :D. I hope other new riders will learn from this video better :-)
I did stunts for a living. Our safety gear was standard ... you didn’t leave home without pads. Feel the same way about Riding. I don’t leave home without my gear.
Yes "expensive" clothes are better, both yes and maybe no Bought a set of KLIM Badland 4 seasons ago, all waterproof pockets are now leaky, the velcro around the wrists are broken. (replaced with buttons) However, the shell is intact, and critical zippers are like new, so buying quality is not stupid stuff. I'm critical of the above defects at that price point, would not be velcro at the sleeves only, better zippers. Otherwise, the clothes work as intended, so I give you half a point.
Thanks Pavlin, my helmet really-really save my head and thanks God, I can still keep watching Pavlin videos today... Motorcycle is a very dangerous commuter, more dangerous than motorcycle as a sports and as a competition tools itself. Ride safe guys...
It is what it is as you always say and it is ok to learn not to repeat mistakes. You have the best advice on how to choose the equipment. experience is best seen here.🍻👏👏
Good advice always wear the correct riding gear even if your only going a short distance .I injured my left kneecap in a motorcycle accident nearby 40 years ago due to not wearing the correct motorcycle protective clothing .I still suffer with chronic pain in my knee now all these years later .
@@motorcycleadventures It was very painful & had to sit on pillion seat to ride bike when I was able to start riding my bike again as I couldn’t fully bend my knee for ages .
Pavlin... yeah his accent can be a bit tricky at 1st... it might be a seniors thing but... Pavlins a darn good straight shooter goes straight to the point... like me, takes no enemies & tolerates fools lightly... not at all actually... lots of great travel footage
The only riding gear I usually go with is gloves with sliders motorcycle boots the long type and spend the most on a helmet yes road rash is a problem but it can be fixed by wearing a mesh motorcycle jacket I wear komine jacket and good pair of motorcycle pants Depending on what motorcycle you might need more extreme gear like a full race suit for haya or ninja riders or just any motorcycle going over 100 mph My XR250 hits 70 mph something so I don't need too much plus I don't ride fast in the city
ATGATT - all the gear all the time, period. I just would like to point out that even the most expensive gear will not be able to protect you in every accident - meaning if you happen to hit something at high speed it will kill or seriously injure you. Just mentioning it since unfortunately I have seen many beginners on group rides who don't understand the basics - and get involved in a major crash with very serious consequences, sometimes even fatal.
You should add the Helite Airbag to your arsenal (not the electronic one). Holds your neck and decreases your death chance by 89%. (see Ryan F9 (fortnine's) review. Enjoy and keep safe! Thanks for what you do!
In the last few years I have taken to wearing hi viz fluro gear like cops and postman do. It seems to make a real difference. Many fewer scary moments where people just seem to pull out in front of you. It is a pity that the gear is so hard to get unless you know a cop or a postie.
Only thing missing in your great presentation is use high visability quality riding gear. Let the world know where you are with color and it becomes a safer road to ride. When you fall off the bike, people will be able to see you on the road, on the shoulder or will find you down the hill. Avoid black and earth tones, those are for after riding colors. Stay safe.
About a month ago, I had a bad crash when I hit a cow that came galloping from no where. I am writing this comment today only because I was fully geared up otherwise, I would not have been around. Though, I did break my collarbone and a couple of ribs. No gear is not an option…
I got trashed by a old man in a car from the left last month, without my clothes i would have get wrecked. At least my shoulder would have been broken,visco armour prevented my shoulder from bending. Still i have a bit of pain in the arm and shoulder. My vespa has the left cheek flattened. But the Ford Focus has my signature in the bonnet ,a loose bumper and a broken headlight! Please protect yourself ,safe riding is not always a guarantee!
@@motorcycleadventures Accidents happen , altough i could learn nothing this time beeing cut off by a grandpa.Wear the gear is where i fully support you Pavlin.
Another awesome right to the point video I always struggle with the budget for the motorcycle. How much do I spend on maintenance how much do I spend on safety how much do I spend on traveling and traveling gear. My budget is limited and there's let's say other people involved in my budget meeting's. that don't understand anything about bikes but have to have a say. I honestly would really like to spend just one year budget on riding gear and I'm pretty sure that it would last me a long time. Thanks for a great video.
I think these days, at least in Europe, it's a bit easier to get gear that protects properly, because of the mandated safety rules where each manufacturer needs to test and write the level the gear was succesfully tested for. For my needs, an AA rated gear is good enough (touring) and incidently I also use revit :)
Unfortunately, I still see too many people on highway on motorbikes wearing t-shirts, bermudas and flip-flops...and the worse are the ones carrying children with them, and they are dressed like the silly driver. They will learn the hard way. I always wear full gear and it saved my head and spine. And my daughter as well: full gear when she comes with me. Since last year, I wear an airbag, it gives more protection but it keeps you very warm in summer and you need to carry extra t-shirt with you. I am still asking myself if I shouldn't wear it for my next long trip and use the "conventional " protection for everyday ride. Because, on long trips, you don't always have an electrical plug to charge the airbag...
Good as usual! Here agree 100% with you! We say 💭 like: this before you buy a bike 🚲 you go and spend most of your money 💰 for riding gear ⚙️ and helmet, and for rest of the money you buy a motorcycle 😂😂😂 cheers 🍻
Motorcycle riding is for the mature and not the immature . Secondly motorcycle riding is a contact sport , if u fall u r getting hert . Just my 2 points which I am a firm believer in....
I've had a motorcycle accident where car turns left and cross my way. the point is that all injuries were in my weak protective wears. sneakers and injured ankle, and gloves "for fashion" = one bone broken and heavy damage of my right wrist. it is 18months ago but my wrist is not OK yet.
@@motorcycleadventures No need to be sorry. It was 8 years ago. Im recovered 😉 learned the lesson hard way. I think it would be a great topic for your chaneel. Make a interview with youre subscribers that had the accident. More stories to young ears to hear.
Crashed offroad at low speed. Full adventure gear. Not a single scratch, except i landed on my hand and broke my wrist. Nothing can save me from my bad luck :)
Great video. Thanks. (I feel I am getting old...I got myself a very expensive jacket with a fancy, separate rain liner. Forget to take it with me - got in a thunderstorm. And yes, the jacket on its own does not protect against rain one bit. Got soaking wet, luckily close to home. Will never the damn thing home again...). IMO, correctly fitting gear is just as important and also increases safety a good bit. On another occasion, I had to put the liner on. It is meant to be zipped and clipped into the jacket. Really was not keen on taking off my upper half, so I simply pulled it over the whole shebang. Don't know though how often I can do this. IMO, this is clearly German over-engineering (jacket made by Reusch) I miss my old jacket...just a thermo liner and not clips in two different colors).
One little thing. More expensive gear tends to come with better protectors and it's more grind resistant.. So 70 USD jacket wont protect you as much as fancy 500 USD revit. Also never forget to buy a propper spine protector. But I think you already know that... The message is 100% right.
Great video I used to wear hein gerrick for years but quality has dropped, I know from experience revit boots are made in China so the past six years I've been using Furygan gear and can't fault it for fit and protection, just my experience 😁
You would be horrified by Florida. We ride with full gear . Only 1/3 of riders wear a helmet in Fl. I doubt more than I in 10 ride with full gear. At stop lights when the average Harley rider pulls up alongside we get comments of ‘ why are you wearing a helmet, boots , jacket - it’s all about freedom man !’ Yes I own a VStrom and a Softtail HD, so I am not anti HD. In fact I get far more ‘looks’ on the HD wearing gear than on the 1050. It is common to see someone on a big VTwin on the freeway in the fast lane doing 80, wearing a T-shirt, shorts and unbelievably flop flops. That’s Florida for you
Someone once said to me that $50 helmet is for $50 head. What is yours worth? This not even a discussion for most people. All the gear all the time. Happy travels
hello from iran . this days im hearing about SYM NH180 adventure bike in youtube and in iran . its goodlooking bike and so famous bike at this range . can you finde one and make ride test plzzz ??
Words of wisdom guys please were protective gear befor you ride. He pleads you to were the gear because he's been there the accident in turkey he knows with his experience guys so please listen to him..!
Gud information...👍 Would like to know your opinion on royal Enfield interceptor 650.. Reviewers around the world are going gaga over it...what's ur take
I’m also shocked people spend thousands protecting their bikes so it doesn’t get damaged but when it comes to their bodies they wear nothing but a helmet. Just stupid
It's a damn shame you have to make a video about wearing quality safety gear. I rather see you do videos about places I wish I could reach on my bike. Keep up the good work my friend
Totally agree with u my friend.
I’m from Dubai and always ride with full gear. It means I only ride when the weather permits it as I refuse to ride without full gear when it’s hot. Rather not ride then.

No! We don't have it in Europe.
Would never go without riding gear, even if it happend a few times, (short distances) 😨.
Good!
Words of wisdom guys please were protective gear befor you ride. He pleads you to were the gear because he's been there the accident in turkey he knows with his experience guys so please listen to him..!
Yes, please listen!
Thank you..
You're welcome any time!
Gud information...👍
Would like to know your opinion on royal Enfield interceptor 650..
Reviewers around the world are going gaga over it...what's ur take
I will commend it when I have the chance to ride it.
Thanks
Anytime!
I’m also shocked people spend thousands protecting their bikes so it doesn’t get damaged but when it comes to their bodies they wear nothing but a helmet. Just stupid
Agree, but...
It's a damn shame you have to make a video about wearing quality safety gear. I rather see you do videos about places I wish I could reach on my bike. Keep up the good work my friend
I have more than enough travel videos in the channel.
@@motorcycleadventures My bad, it's always good to remind all of us about safety
On long trips do you ever use a neck brace? Or is it only most valuable when doing technical off-road?
I never use it, but I might start to.
gear saved my skin more than once...
Absolutely!
So, what kind of boots do You prefer? MX (high) style or maybe lower ones like 50/50?
As more as possible protection. Sidi Adventure is a good compromise but nothing less than that.
i never ride with out gear
Good!
2 minutes silence for those who dislikes this video 🤦🙏
Well, you cannot please everyone!
@@motorcycleadventures very true 👍
Buy the best gear that you can afford and use it. Even the cheaper gear now days is way better than just ordinary jeans, t-shirt or runners...
Absolutely!
👍🏻
Thanks!
Copy that my man!
Good!
Kill two birds with one stone.
