Nice to see my homeland from Rheinland Pfalz😎 Keep it up. Ride safe!👋🏻

I only know of German movies because of Lola Rennt, and series like Der Letzte Bulle or modern shit like Dark...I'm looking forward to you ride through Bosnia thou…

I'd argue that the main reason the Winnetou movies were so successful was that by the time they came out, Karl May had been just about the most popular German author for several decades. Somewhat like how Lord of the Rings was bound to become successful no matter how bad the movies were. People watched them with their kids because they loved the books when they were kids themselves, then those kids went all nostalgic over the films and watched them with theirs, and... Well. You also left out the most hilarious fact of the whole franchise: for the first few decades, every single one of May's books was advertized as an autobiography. Since mass media wasn't really around yet in the second half of the 1800s, people saw them as just about the only way to learn about foreign countries, and occasionally based their own emigration decisions on them. basically fake news on a scale that had been just about unfathomable until then. Then, after May's death and World War 1, when more reliable information and American media became available, people started re-reading these novels with a "how could anyone think this was real" slant. Which, ironically, only made them more popular. That said, congrats on surviving the most overhyped tourist trap Croatia has to offer! Hope you continue to have a great trip!

yo that Honda CB 600 F is a really really good bike my best friend owns one from the nineties in special demo colours haha. stay safe Miles! nice videos! Just realised you should have gone to Ljubljana and visit Zizek *sniffs* and so on and so on

I enjoyed listening to your opinion about the German films and film industry. :) Karl May is a great writer. Cheers.

That river crossing was really scary to watch. At the end I could see the handlebars wiggle more, I thought the bike was really about to fall. If it fell there, lifting it back up on slippery surface in cold water would be a nightmare.

Interesting thoughts on movies in general. Not unlike the norwegian film industry. I can not watch fiction anymore, I stick to KZbin and news articles. Cheers from Norway.

It's a really nice journey! Very interesting because I was considering going to Croatia and Slovenia some time as well. While watching I can't help but think how much energy it must consume to set up the cameras all the time, to film all what you're doing, while wearing motorcycle gear in summer. And motorcycling alone is very tiring already, especially in summer. Oh and you also edit the videos at the end of the day. That's some marine or paratrooper level of endurance. I hope that you still get enjoyment from the trip.

As you move towards the coast, consider riding E75 road. Also known as "Jadranska magistrala". Goes all the way to southern Croatia, and has some spectacular views.

When pronouncing Croatian town names, do it in German instead of English. It's closer to native pronunciation. I didn't know where you were until I saw the table with the town name.

All the morning drama is actually decent content and also part of the trip. If you keep that stuff out of the videos it becomes to polished and fake

I was not a fan of the intro music this time. It was very loud and dissonant. The partial and inaudible phone call going through it only made it worse.

always important to take a break if you feel you need it. looking forward to seeing how the journey continues!

That‘s why I mostly watch documentaries or KZbin😅 so thanks for improving the „German Movie“ Miles ;)

It's "An old Western" not "A old Western". Best of luck!

Really enjoyed the insights into German cinema and TV 😍

I've heard lots of good things about the RE Himalayan. It's one of the bikes that interest me. :)

That was a hectic morning alright 😖 I was bombing through the twisties so fast to try get to place I could get phone coverage 🤣 I blame Vodafone 🤦🏽‍♀️

It does the job and breaks no bank. But for looking cool or in terms of visual design it’s a failure, even compared to the opinions splitter the 411. It’s a tool - that’s what it is and a tool that works. The morini is something very, very, very different, it had it’s time-slot anyway. Current bikes went ahead. In the moderate budget area it’s either the voge300 or the Himmy450. I don’t think that the cfmoto450 is a hard win in either of the categories, maybe places a third category, depending your target use. Above that you’re entering v-strom650de, benelli, cfmoto territory, and if you so will 390adv. I’d personally choose the voge300, vstrom650de, vstrom800de or T7, at19dct or r1300gsa(to come), or ajp pr7 for hard-off-road, no husqy/ktm/india/china bike above 5K. Whoever can travel offroad with a RE interstate can do so on a bullet350 as well. That type of bike has been the ultimate bad paths muncher for almost a century.

Wow, damit habe ich nicht gerechnet XD

In my country we recently had the case of Honda presenting a 2nd generation of a small dual pourpose bike, and all first riders went out saying it was much better. But after several k thousands of km (adding up many privatelly owned bikes) mechanics now report huge issues with the new engine saying that the older is still the best. What we also should do in this case,imo. Thanks for the video, btw!

I think these are a novelty bike , there are lots for sale , it’s a nostalgic buy if I wanted a second bike to pop to the shops on maybe

Test rode one and loved it. Seems more than 40hp. Smooth, great off-road, great tourer. No horrible plastic parts either. RE have got it spot on.

Would you also be interested in reviewing the cfmoto 450 mt?

you can skimp on really a lot of things, also w.r.t gear, but when riding off road, I think you should really, really consider sturdy offroad or even motocross boots.

How nice of them to help a small channel out.

You are blocking the view of the mudguard when you are pointing at and talking about the mudguard ;-)

Thank you for introducing the new RE Himalayan. I think this is the next level of Bang for your Bucks after the preview model with the solid 411 Single Piston. If there came out not the Motor Morini X-Cape i had chouse the new RE Himalayan.

It’s not power alone, it’s carrying capacity. I’m 240 and usually pack 60-70 lbs of luggage. That eliminates smaller bikes.

4:06 yes the sign at 3:05 actually says to be careful because it's slippery lol

100% not a mine!

Crazy what all happend in this episode 👌

You’ve got to make a abs switch

Apparently you are confused or inexperienced. possibly we have a different perspective. I own 3 bikes Harley 72. FLH, this is a road bike. Moto Guzzi V85TT, ADV bike. This bike goes on improved surfaces gravel dirt sand road. Longer distances we have done the CDR part of the TAT. Many Back country discovery routes BDR. And last but not least DRZ 400 trail bike. 12” of suspension will go Most anywhere. I put may more miles on the Guzzi much more comfortable mostly off pavement. I don’t think I have been exposed to any lies or misrepresentation. All I added to the MG was crash bars. Did the CDR including the Great Basin on the.stock mich adv tires.

That thing is far too large to be an anti-personel mine. It's about the size of an anti-tank mine, but looks too new. Also you are in Slovenia, it had 10 days of light shooting and no minefields. It is extremely unlikely that it was a land mine.

How is it on highway speeds? 80mph?

Very.Nice Story! Looking forward to the Himalaya Interview with the 1000PS guys!

You have the coordinates. I guess you are back home, so get in touch with their embassy, tell them about your find, pass the coordinates to them and let them take care of the rest. They'll know best what to do.

It may be an idea to not have your lever/mirror/grip holders too tight on the handlebars. Should a motorcycle tip over then these parts should move preventing breakage but, be firm enough for riding.

The Problem is, if its not a mine what is it. Pretty sure it is one because what else looks like this. Dont know. Great that you met the guy from 1000ps. Its the biggest german speaking channel. Would be nice to see you in their videos. I think you already know they have some other youtubers as well.

FYI, there is such a thing as waterproof socks.

Rally-Raid UK do a Few parts for this Bike AS WELL as the Honda CB500X.

this is anti TET land mine ;)

My initial thought upon seeing that supposed landmine was "I wonder how I could safely detonate this" thought about hiding behind a tree and throwing a rock at it or something. I must be at least a little bit crazy.

14:55 This could actually be a Yugoslavian PMA-3 HE Blast anti-personnel mine. The PMA-3 is made of plastic and the surface may be covered with a layer of black rubber. The pressure plate is made of the entire top of the mine, so there are no fuses or pressure plates sticking out. It would be about the right size. What is worrying is that Yugoslavia produced this mine in considerable quantities. Combined with the strong resemblance to a PMA-3, this may actually be a mine.

Great Video as always! Its so nice to watch your trip. Hopefully the 1000ps guys will contact you. Maybe you could do some content for them😁👍 Stay safe!

Pro-tip: Move or remove your mirrors when going off-road. During a tip over, they are often the first thing to get damaged. Itchy Boots never did this and I've seen her replace at least 3 mirrors. She even had easily adjustable ones! P.S. Clean your faceshield!

You should have thrown a big stone on it....to see if it was going to EXPLODE !!!😅😅😅

That water crossing was treacherous. Good you checked and didn't go down 👍

In Croatia, do check out the road between Novi Vindolski and Ogulin. It's awesome and almost as good as the Slovenian roads I mentioned yesterday. ^^
