You just take things as they come which is a great attitude to have .With the swerve ,as riders we are always told to be aware for a way out in tricky situations .Pavlin ,you saw the way out very quickly and took it .Well done.,great skill..
Hi Pavlin another great video Thank you, wow what a terrible road condition you have gone through , I glad that safe and well. I hope that this virus crisis is not going to ruined everyone's plans for this year. Be safe ✌
Pavlin, thanks for another great motorcycle travel video! It brought back many memories for me. There is no wrong answer but my only suggestion would have been to take 2 or 3 days to get from Methven to Wanaka via the West Coast, rather than in one big day. The South Island of New Zealand is a jewel when it comes to motorcycling destinations, with so many places to stop and see, rather than passing through to get to your evening destination. Safe travels to you.
First I am glad that you are fine after this challenging road and a not so friendly weather! The roads and the landscapes are just amazing, this pass it's definitely a must seen in one lifetime! I really enjoyed this episode, thanks for sharing! PS: I let you guess what it's my Surname 🙄
I drive the Arthurs Pass road many times, I was confused at the start and then you said you had to back track. The weather hid a lot of fantastic alpine mountain scenery, such a shame, but that's weather for you. Safe travels.
Really nice Pavlin, sure Yiu got a ton of questions of the red arrow, I assume you have that to remind You of the trafic direction. Have You been in any situation where You have forgotten the left hand trafic? Take care.
@@motorcycleadventures That's great! I have many times wondered how I would manage to handle left hand traffic. Never been to any of those countrys... 👀🤔 Hope I will some day. 🤠
I've watched you drive in worse weather but it was getting sketchy. Reminded me of one of my best trips, very similar weather in the black hills, ND. I believe you're supposed to pass on the right in New Zealand?? 😜
Great vid as usual with a nice choice on which way to go when the ute stopped suddenly, he might have turned right, split second decision and it was the right one of course, you can't beat experience. I really like the steadiness of the picture quallity when you used the goPro even though there was no commentry. I have watched your vid on the cameras you have and why you choose what you use, so just saying. As for the weather, well there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing and you chose well for that days riding. Great adventure and I love every minute. Thanks.
Yes Frank, I know that the GoPro quality is way better. I liked the Contour because of the functionality but they bankrupt and I already switched to Go Pro.
@@motorcycleadventures Been talking about the T-700 for three years.. The first design was so bad they went b ack to the drawing board for a complete redesign.. Very good reviews for the Final Product.. They should be on the show room floor in the USA in Spring or Summer.. I have very short legs may go for a Triumph 900 Tiger in the lower version ..

I was lucky as usual! Thanks for taking the time!
Nice places and people. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure Mesbah!
Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing it. That swerve left also took skill, not luck. Nicely done.
Thanks for taking the time again!

Thanks Artur! It will be okay, nothing last forever!
Bloody nice Mate!
Great country!
“It is what it is”. I really like this expression !
Well... nothing more to say!

Thanks, man!
Amazing scenery,that's what we travel for after all,take care out there my friend!
Thanks!

It was great day!
Christ, that was well avoided. With saves like that should be in goal for Bulgaria.
Happy travels.
I was lucky again!
Some great footage of this trip. Thanks so much
My pleasure.
What a Beautiful ride, I'd love to take the ride in summer weather though! Ride to Live and Live to Ride Bro!!!
Kerry you are right. It's a beautiful country, but I would want to ride it in warmer weather. Cold weather riding is not for me.
I’ve done that trip on a motorbike in the middle of summer and the weather was the same. Freezing cold rain. My poor wife was turning blue
I enjoyed but definitely will make it in the summer one day!
NICE GUYS & NICE PLACE JUST AWESOME
Thanks, Hero!
Really nice Pavlin, sure Yiu got a ton of questions of the red arrow, I assume you have that to remind You of the trafic direction. Have You been in any situation where You have forgotten the left hand trafic? Take care.
Yes Mattias, it is a reminder and yes, it helps me at least a few times per day.
@@motorcycleadventures That's great! I have many times wondered how I would manage to handle left hand traffic. Never been to any of those countrys... 👀🤔 Hope I will some day. 🤠
Nice save Pavlin. Last year the same happened with me.
Yes, I am a lucky guy!
I've watched you drive in worse weather but it was getting sketchy. Reminded me of one of my best trips, very similar weather in the black hills, ND. I believe you're supposed to pass on the right in New Zealand?? 😜
I did a completed loop around both islands.

Hi Pavlin.
Is the red arrow on the windshield to remind you what side of the road to ride on?
Yes, it is
I'm just sitting here, watching your videos and waiting for the corona craziness to end so I can jump on my bike and travel. It's gonna be a while...
It will end, soon or later!
Did u add a little bit of front brake or only rear, for that situation?
Both, but I realized fast that it is not going to help.
Nice video as usual Pavlin, just what I needed. How's things in Germany, have you got travel restrictions yet? Stay safe.
The same as everywhere. Yes, everything is closed.
They never sold the XT-650 in the USA too tall of seat height for me anyway ..
They will have Tenere 700 next year I believe.

Whatever suits you Mike!
That was close after did you think or say in Bulgarian_Germsn or English ? I
It was 100% my mistake. The cars need to stop on the bridges to let the opposite traffic to pass. I just got distracted and missed that point.
Close call at the first clip
Yes, it was close!
@@motorcycleadventures have you ever thought of doing a world ride . And if you did and it's on UA-cam pardon me I'm a new subscriber
I had this idea a while ago, but I decide it to make it on stages.
@@motorcycleadventuresall the best ride safe . I also want to ride to many new places like you but can't afford a good adventure bike
"Arthur's Pass" not "Artur"
Ups! Thanks, man!
Ye. Great stuff, but how r u gonna get back, with all the Corona 💩 all arround the 🌎❓
It is not going to be forever!
