Hi , I been listening to you for more then 5 years now ,
All your advices are so helpful ,
Thank you very much ,
Happy to help!
Your example reminds me a surgeon who was teaching us during a first aid course many years ago. At some point he said: "in this field you'll meet a lot of people who pretend to be "experts" but they don't know what they're doing, absolute knuckle heads. You need to spot the people who really know their job and follow their example." He was damn right and so are you.
Thanks for sharing!
THE voice of common sense.Keep talking my brother.
I will, thanks!
"If you have NOTHING to do...". I smile everytime I hear that introduction. That's a really low-pressure way to invite people to watch. 😊 I always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thanks, man!
Good advice. There are so many 'influencers' on the UA-cam who have no experience it can be difficult to know where to turn.
Experience teaches.
What experience do they have and where is the evidence to back this up?
Important topic.
Ride safe 👍
Absolutely!
Go out and do it, learn on the job. Find your way, find you passion. Online course for adventure riders? Yeah. You've been camping as a kid? You got it. You know how to ride your bike? You got that as well.
Now get out and practice. A weekend here, a weekend there.
Remember one thing. You can't pay for experience. Get out and do it. A little at the time. The only thing matters is you.
People try to compensate with buying stuff. It's not the money you wasted, it's the time you spend earning the money. Life is to short. Get out there.
i just need one guy i trust and thats you, your channel has all the receipts
Thanks, man!
good anecdotal advice as always Pavel
Thanks, man!
Much Enjoyment 👍😎
Thanks for the visit!
good stuff sir👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Although the bike is very important, I would put a higher concern to the weight of what’s being carried.
I loved my 1150gs but it’s big and not very well supported anymore.
Weight is the greatest enemy of motorcycle traveling.
Agree!
You are on point but sometimes its the experts with experience who are misleading people for one reason or another. I see youtube riding instructors like brake magazine pushing heavy adv bikes on newer less experienced riders saying how these bikes can go anywhere and do anything without much warning of the difficulty, risks, dangers, and skills required. Maybe he is motivated by bike or equipment sponsors or perhaps wants to sell more riding courses, but rider beware, not all gurus are there in your best interest!
True!
Good advice!
Glad it was helpful!
@@motorcycleadventures We never get too old to learn. I've been riding since 1967 but still learn something each time I go riding. Thanks for all your tips!!!
Any time!
All good advice. I meet people like that along. Either they are broke down needing help or a ride to the hospital. A couple years practice with the bike you intend on riding RTW is a good beginning. You need to know your machine and YOURSELF. I practice on roads very similar to those I will be riding. They aren't 4 lane wide blacktop. Hey, you have new jacket? Interesting to see what you have to say about the Endurastain tank bag. Next time. Take care and be safe.
Thanks for taking the time!
life's so much easier now than 35 years ago when I did a trip to Australia. No internet or choice of bikes and accessories then. Read some travel articles in magazines but very little details.
If theres two or more bikes choose the same bike so you can carry less spares
Agree!
Hi yes totally agree following the wrong advice
Without doing your own research can definitely ruin a trip and bring doubt on weather you ever do another
Skill leavels and true experience sould count for more than it seems to in our modern world great vid ride safe
Thanks for taking the time!
Спасибо друг. Удачи и хорошего лета. Good Luck! Peace!
Пожалйста!
Advice needs to be implemented. I mean,it's no good knowing what to do if we don't actually do it. Also,Pavlin,on an earlier vid.you talked about what happens when we don't take the "get a way bike trip". I think we subconsciously lose confidence. Confidence in ourself is so important.
Exactly!
Haha, Pavlin getting angry in traffic. That's so rare.
True!
The right preparation is not only a good advice for motorcycle trips, it is a great advice for everything in life !!! Everything you say is basic logic and common sense, help in everything in life, thanks for sharing your wisdom !!! Can I ask what is the yellow think you have on the right handlebar?
It is the cable reminder of the disc lock.
I disagree to listen to the “experts” as you say because it’s only one part of the story. So many experts have a strong option based on “experience “ but many people who have other points of view has relevance as well. It’s a balanced view that I am after, not an expert
Fair enough!
I saw many videos from "experts". They were able to pack 7 t-shirts for week ride on american highways, but wearing no moto jacket, no moto trousers, no moto boots, no moto gloves and mostly no helmet. But they have sun cream!!! In last 9 years I rode 150000km on motorbike and regarding advices of Pavlin I can say only one: Pavlin is right in every one word!
Your advice I could agreed to it. After all you have proof yourself by riding those mile all this years. Your advice will be valuable to rider who value the feed back you gave. I totally agreed with you travel light n replace all wear n tear part before you begin your journey. Thank again Palvin your suggest are value add. ❤
A rubber boat on the bike must be super cool. Gustav Nachtigal travelled mid 1800 through the Sahra and carried a boat with him in order to explore the Lake Chad (I believe he has then never done with the boat) of which he only heard about (of course he travelled not with a bike and probably there have also not been many other travellers he could ask before hand whether it is a good idea to carry a boat through the Sahra). I was then going a bit later but with bike and without boat.
Cool!
I agree with you, Pavlin, but regarding the guy with DR 650 I think the motorcycle is very good for what he intended to do, but the main problem was his lack of experience only. I bet that even with a Honda CRF would had problems, even if it's 30 kg. lighter. Sometimes you also need talent to do certain things.
Exactly what I said. He needed a proper advice.
Question : How to find the right motorcycle travel advice ?
Answer : By subscribing to your Channel and smack the notification Bell .
Cool!
The GS story, I kinda understand it. People didn't know, they got what they were told. But the KLR on a dinghy boat doesn't make any sense... It's simple common sense that doesn't have to do with motorcycles.
True, but...
Learned my lesson years ago, before trip , NEW CHAIN !!!! and check sprockets !!! Hang up your OLD chain and use it up when the new stuff wears out !!!! Not the other way around 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing!
This video is so "on point", for example, I love your Ténéré and what you've done with it. But for me personally, I don't know if I would need one, because I have little experience on the road and next to zero offroad, so I would prefer a road biased motorcycle like a Versys 650... For now, limited budget allow me to keep using and practice on a harmless Husqvarna 125 motocross that I had from back in the day and can do a bit of everything in a safe setting for a beginner such as myself... Once I'll learn I can move to a more serious bike. Thanks Pavlin for your guidance!
I have a versys 650 2016.
Great bike for long travel on asphalt and little gravel when needed.
Will trade it in for AJP pr7 next year for offroad. 😜
@@skulijakobsson5116 wow that's some serious offroader 😉 Yeah the Versys is a dream for now but one day... ☺️🤞
Glad to help!
Thanks for sharing!
@@alexsoma3720 dreams come true! In time...
Thank you for this videos sir. I am a new rider and planning to do a world tour on and off road. Is a bmw g 310 gs a good bike to start with?
Yes, definitely. Have fun!
@@motorcycleadventures thank you sir. Hope to bump in to you someday.🙌
I have been to all the big bikes including the worlds most powerful bikes. Now I’m exploring the other end of motorbikes. I’m touring on 125 Honda and it’s so good. I can lift it over a fence if need be. 110kg bike and I’m 100kg 187cm. Gear is no more than 30kg including camping gear and 6L of water. Big bikes look at me like beginner and then they find out I’ve been around the world several times 😂
Thanks for sharing!
@@motorcycleadventures No, thank you for commenting ;-)
I think I know what's driving the 1150. Here in Canada it will be vintage in a few years, but I'm not sure there's any benefit for importing permanently in another country if it's already older than ten years.
Just some random numbers and guesstimates:
All $CAD (1:CAD:USD = 0.73)
2024 Yamaha T7
$15,000
2024 Suzuki DR 650
$7-10,000 depending on province.
USED Suzuki DR 650
~$5,000
USED BMW R1150 GS
$5,000 (Starbucks - no crash bars, "unused" shocks avail. on eBay for Central Asia, South America)
Panama Permanent Import Duty
$1,000
Columbia
?
Brazil
USED BMW R1150 GS
$7,000 - 10,000
Shipping:
Vladivostok - Moscow
$600 by train (must accompany)
Korea - Canada
$2,000
Panama - Columbia
$1,500
Brazil - Europe
$2,000
Old School - Diploma from Small Engine Repair Course
$1,500
Thanks for sharing!
why 650GS is too heavy? the tenere is same weight. to get something ligheter you have to look for bikes 300-400cc
It is heavy for her and yes, she need 250-300cc
That couple get you😊. Rarely saw you so turned on, but you are absolutely right; that is a recipe for disaster.
Happy to help!
The only way you can become a competent rider street or off road is by putting in the miles
Agree!
Never listen to sales people.
This should be the first. I'm still amazed at how much bad advice people get from sales people and how many fall for the sales pitch.
Every situation is different and what is good for one person is not good for another.
One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is going on a long trip with just way too much. If I go on 4 or 6 week trip I try not to bring more than 12 or 15km.
Like you said bike choice is important. Now for myself I like the Honda Africa Twin and BMW GS1250. But, I'm 6'1 and 200lbs and I'm very use to both motorbikes. But, also depending on where i'm going I've also ridden a Yamaha Ténéré. My daily ride or short trips on well paved roads I use my Honda CB1000R Black Edition.
But, as I tell people. Just because these are good for me. It does not mean they are good for someone else. I remember the first time I went from Khalhgol to the Altai Tavan National Park coming across some Americans riding Yamaha XSR900s. Yes, sports bikes. I talked to them for a bit, but all they did was complain about how uncomfortable the roads and lack of roads were. I was just thinking. What morons. HA HA HA!
Paval I wanted to ask you. From August 28th I'm going to be riding from Thessaloniki in Greece though Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Austria, Germany to the Netherlands. Will you be around to meet up for a coffee or drink when I pass through Bulgaria? Also because I want to surprise you with the bike I'm using. I don't want to say it here what it is. Only that it's a well known Japanese brand and a model that is not sold outside Japan, with only a few exported to Taiwan.
Sending to Greece is not costing me anything as I'm using space in a friends container.
When i have my final plans worked out. I will let you know. If your going to be around and not galavanting off somewhere let me know.
I will be around, just contact me a few days in advance.
A lot of these people make these mistakes because they see advertisements for the big adv bikes and social media of experts riding these big bikes all over… theres so much bad advice out there, you need to dig to find the truth on what you need for your skills and riding goals
Exactly!
My biggest mistake is I pack too much. You know, just in case. On ya Palvin.
You can always change it!
Another business idea - why are you not offering tour guide ?
Zero interest, sorry!
Only way to learn how to do it is on your own. If you screw something up, learn from it. Way to blow right threw a stop sign at 2:33 mate.
I know this stop very well. It has good visibility.
Less is more! I never take more than can go to my panniers (2x±5kg). Plus documents, money, cards and phone in my jacket. That's all!
PS: It looks that GS is not motorcycle but diagnosis.
Thanks for sharing!
.. maybe not all fat or sick people are wrong in advising... sometimes they know better why they failed.. Best regards and good luck doing this nice and useful experience sharing!:)
Maybe... thanks for taking the time!
Well, that’s technically true you’re just like a total DB giving advice it sounds hypocritical
theres an old saying:
Those who Can’t….. Teach
Clever!
Where I come from a "Stop Sign" means STOP and I rarely see you STOP at a STOP Sign. Lane splitting is not legal in most places and we're not allowed to move to the front of the line at Stop signs or traffic lights. I consider such activity as RUDE and could get you hurt or WORSE.
Well... this stop line I know very well. The visibility is good and I have no chance of being seen by the Police. About the rest, I live in Bulgaria, and we still have some freedom here.
You need to travel more to distant countries. In some places I’ve been around world, traffic lights are simply for entertainment. Most of south east Asia for example 😂
That sound like a prison. Move to the country with freedom of living.
Here its called a Califonia stop and lane splitting has been legal and encouraged for decades to help traffic flow. Were used to it and dont get our panties in an uproar over OUR spot in traffic..
that channel should be called "motorcycle advice..." 😂 Stop preaching Pavling ;)
Fair enough!
