- It is easy for you, Pavlin, you know how to do this or that, you have been on many trips... I am listening to these excuses over and over again. Do you really believe that I was born a motorcycle traveler? Once in a while, I was exactly like you, not sure how to start with hundreds of questions without any answers. In this video, I will share with you, how you can gain experience and confidence without robbing a bank and with a minimum risk.

If you are blindfolded by your ego,Pavlin could help to get rid of it and take you down with your feet on the earth if you listen enough. Greetings from Transylvania from an old follower.
If you say so!
@motorcycleadventures Following you from the beginning, in a parking lot in Germany, I have a great respect for all your works ,maybe one day we'll drink a pálinka.
We will!
As a younger rider it was all about how many miles we could do, now as an older rider it is less miles and taking more time to explore along the way. Great video thanks
Well said!
I cannot change out my 9 - 5 at the moment, so i travel around my country on the weekends - also i struggle to do 400 Km per day, and I think that is just practise. I am building experience as i go. Also remember, its supposed to be fun!
Thanks for sharing!
Experience teaches.
I am learning that as I am now in my 60's I need more breaks, especially with her ladyship on the back.
The mind is willing but the body protests more often.
This is life.
'Know your limits.'
Ride safe 👍
Well said!
yeah like me😂
Very well structured excellent guidance. Will definitivly help a lot of new riders.
Motorcycle and equipment are important, but shouldn't be an obstacle. Not everything needs to be perfect or new.
The mindset, the preparedness to accept that there is a learning curve and backlashes are inevitible, help.
In my opinion curiosity and pragmatism of the rider helps to overcome most situations.
Enjoy the wonderful surprising moments and learn to handle problems by yourself and enjoy the satisfaction afterwards.
Samuel Beckett's mantra “Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.” is, in my opinion
Not everything needs to be perfect.
Completely agree!
Hi Pavlin,
I started travelling in the mid 80’s to Europe but by 90’s I was bored of Spanish rave scene and had been watching adventure programmes eg Michael Pailin and Globe Trekker. This had me hooked off I went to far away lands with just a rucksack on my back. Now 30 years on I am away to start my journey again this time on two wheels instead of my feet. My point is, just get out there don’t let time pass you buy especially 30 years 🙄 like I have, we only have one crack at life
Agree that the sooner you start the better!
You are right on prep on a trip is super important. Just did a ride from Tzaneen rsa to Cape Town via Port Elizabeth on my trusty Suzuki 650 vstrom. Bike no issues as usual, wind and cape weather, no rain, uncomfortable wind. American friend and fellow rider fantastic. Fun ride, no camping, expensive, it arrive we ll. Carried many tools used, but all well. I always carry xcessive tools as I am the best mechanic that I know. Pavlin you are beyond the best. Cheers from sunny South Africa, come and . Pepe
Thanks, man!
Perfectly said, really! Couldn't agree more!
The biggest problem is, there are so many nice places and it's hard to choose one as the next destination.😆
Thanks for taking the time!
Wow, a lot of good advice in 13+ minutes! "If you take information from wrong person, it will be wrong intel". You are definitely the RIGHT person. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for useful information. I am a beginner as a motorcycle traveler.
By the way...if you're coming in north part of Romania and you need a place to sleep, a hot meal, a hot shower and garage for motorcycle,just let me know. It's free!
Thanks, man!
All good points. One needs some prep for certain. Work into it so it won't be a disaster possibly ending a motorcycle travel dream. Thanks Pavlin. I remember the thoughts and feelings I had when I started over 50 years ago. There were very limited sources of information available. At that time everybofy on a motorcycle was considered an outlaw. You couldn't get a room or even camp hardly anywhere. When the Honda Gold Wing came out it started to slowly change. It took years. All good. Take care
Thanks for sharing, Sam!
Great advice, Pavlin
That‘s exactly how I started long-distance travels… start easy: practice in advance (day or two-day trips), increase stamina… then a weekend trip (400 km on the first day, tops)…. And so on and so forth… Increasing travel range and challenging road selections step by step.
The only part I skipped entirely: Group travels… it’s just too tedious and dangerous (accordion effect), and to me tying yourself into a group is the antithesis to motorcycle ‚freedom‘ the way I like it.
Thanks for sharing!
Baby steps from me, your life coach.
Ride 500 miles on a 50cc scooter.
Now when you are halfway into a big trip thinking oh this is terrible, remember the scooter and suddenly it’s not so bad.
Good, thanks for sharing!
first motorcycle ling distance camping trip was a mess, ever though I had been on many camping trips. I should just taken a short local camping trip. Now I go out on month long camping trips with better plans and shorter days.
Good!
From South Africa, Pailin is spot on, I am 82 years old and live I beautiful South Africa,just had an American visit me who wanted to visit
Thanks for taking the time!
Some very helpful advice, and will take these steps on board, top man cheers
Glad to help!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
@@motorcycleadventures Thanks for replying! 😂
Any time!
Take the time to work it out, but don’t stop to think and forget to start again!
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Agree!
Solid advice. Would be ideal for a new rider to learn how to do basic maintenance and repair flat tyres. Maybe that's not a big problem in Europe but here in South Africa it is essential.
Agree!
Great advice. Thanks Pavlin. I have only done 3 trips so far. All in South Africa. First trip was a 8 day camping trip with visiting family in between. Prefer to stick with camping due to budget. Next longer trip will hopefully include a neighbor country. Namibia or Botswana. FYI _ my bike is a 2015 KTM duke 390. On average I do about 350km per day when on trips. Keep the videos coming. Cheers
Thanks for sharing!
I put 150'000km on a 2008 klr before retiring it from regular duty in 2017. I started out slowly, and developed a tool kit ect by doing maintenance/repair with only what i was carrying on the bike.
The proper way!
I would love to see a video on how you use your paper maps, how you mark them and what the markings mean, when you use them and when you dont

You are always the best, cheers
Thank you!
Don't forget to mention you need the right job or basically money to even do it. Motorcycle costs a lot of money (new) - you don't wanna travel on beaten up bike for 1000€. It's possible but the risk is huge. Gear costs a lot of money if you don't want to ride in tennis shoes and t-shirt (even the basic one). Good luggage systems are expensive. And the trip itself can be costly if you are traveling for a long time (depends on the country of course). Visas cost money, ferries, carnet de passage, bribes, fixers etc. Mistakes cost a lot of money. That's why Pavlin has a youtube channel :D
True, travel costs money.
Great vid lots of info thank you !!!
Glad it was helpful!
You say short cuts don't exist ??! - Of-course they DO : Grab you favorite drink, and watch the videos of the favorite bike-travelers ☝☝😀
Still need the practice...
@@motorcycleadventures
To watch ur trips from a sofa with a favourite 🍾🍷🍹🥃 ⁉️ 😆
Amazing channel Pavlin! Thanks so much for all the advice. I will buy a motorcycle in 3 months from now and I'm 28 years old. At the moment I ride sometimes my father's Yamaha xMax 250 scooter in the village, but that's it. I love long rides and the road and I'm so looking forward to it :D Thanks again!
Great to hear!
As usual great advice
Thanks, man!
I like how you called Bulgaria a small country. Everything in this life is relative.
True!
Always learn something by watching your videos
Glad to hear it!
agree
Good!
Great
Thanks for watching!
I'm definitely a 'dip your toe in first' person. I did meet one guy who had more money than time. He bought a GS and headed for the next country over. He had a couple of get-off's, but said he was having a great time. Most people I've met have some experience in their own region before travelling their bike.
Thanks for sharing!
I can speak as an educator….many youth of today feel it is their right to climb Mount Everest without baby steps. And the feel it is someone else’s fault that they fail…
True!
ty
Maine , USA!
10,000 sq Mi smaller than Bulgaria🙈
Fair enough!
Advice for the American planning out his first European trip? I want to see Bulgaria and Macedonia where yhe family originated from and ride the Transfagarasan Highway in Romania. I think i will take the Tenere 700 vs my MT-07 stunt bike with the full cage or one of if the sport bikes like the Ninja ZX6R. 😂
Good luck on your trip!
maine usa . a lil smaller than bulgaria
Okay
yo, interesting travel,Motorcycle.
Good!
Thanks for your video. I am from Spain living in Thailand. I am planning to go from Thailand to Spain through China, Kyrgy, Uzbek, Turmek, etc Do you think I can make it without carnet the passage ? this is my main worried ...
You don't need carnet for these countries.
Hi Pavlin. Following your channel now for a long time. Like honesty although sometimes it could be understood offensive. But that shouldn’t bother me.
I got the KTM 950 Adventure from 2004 and I really like the simplicity of the bike and the capabilities the same time. Now I’m looking for something newer. Like the KTM 690 Adventure R or the 790 R. But really I don’t know because all of the are heavy and full of technology. My riding profile is still long hours on highway and then singletrail riding.
Therefore I don‘t consider smaller bikes.
Should I stick with my old first love 😂.

Buy whatever works for you!
Our only difficulty is the 9:00 to 18:00 jobs and 20 days per year holidays
Change it!
Begin with one change of clothes, soap, towel toothbrush/paste for one overnight trip, should be less than 3kg, begin there.
Good!
Forget the change of clothes ! Pack money- water- food
@@zeez4178 pack only tootbrush!
@@zeez4178 So you arrive soaking wet at the hotel and it's 9 at night, what are you going to do, walk around naked? Water and a little food is a good idea, but no simple change of clothes, bad idea. Been there done that. Didn't you watch "Pretty Woman"? 😁
What is your opinion on using Google Translate or similar apps? Are they usefuland accurate. Thanks
They are not accurate, but definitely help.
Is tenere 700 good for two people traveling? I am looking for a new bike
Not really!
.
i'm about to take a trip from uk to serbia, on my 12 years old gsx1250 that was last serviced over 5 years ago.. not even changing tyres or anything. im just gonna go and hope for the best. a, fuk it
so gut, also ich bin Anfänger. und hab keine Erfahrung. also ich geh einfach und mach meine eigenen Erfahrungen ,weil....jedes mal kommt es anders raus wie beim ersten mal. einmal ist gut einmal schei...s..se.also hilft mir eigentlich Typ,'s. .! nichts. bin auch schon um die Welt gekommen mit dem Döffli ,mal so mal so . aber jedes mal war es toll...aber auch nicht so. also es gibt kein Leitfaden.darum selber austesten und nicht auf andere hören. weil jeder macht andere Erfahrungen. ( Geld verdienen mit CZcams ist eh scheisse) ,🥳🥸
Fair enough!
@@motorcycleadventures yeah🤘🤙😁
@@motorcycleadventures sorry, 🥰
aber ich vefolge dich schon lange..und würde auch mit Dir mal ein Bierchen trinken.also kein Stess,🤘😎
Never worries!
