Exploring the far and unknown Siberia | Season 20 | Episode 21

[@irenepollak7333]

What a stunning journey at absolutely the right time. Thank you for the videos.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Ducafred]

Thanks for showing us a part of the world not many of us are able to see. What a great but tough journey.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

My pleasure!

[@ivanholidis]

Beautiful places and that feeling you get that you're very far away from the so-called civilization is just great!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Yes indeed!

[@75Inox]

The human of big heart is capable to show the country of such size

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Good!

[@timdeslauriers6879]

Truly some of the most original and adventurous motorcycle travel content on KZbin. Well done video. Really enjoyed the visit to the abandoned city.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Wow, thanks!

[@teneretraveller8980]

Amazing effort. All that mud and rocky terrain. The physical and mental effort to keep going day after day demands respect. It speaks volumes for the Tenere, too. What a bike. I wonder if the old bridge you saw from the new bridge is the one Ewan and Charlie gad so much trouble with and needed a lorry to get them across the water? Great watch. Ride safe 👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

There are thousands of bridges there. Thanks for taking the time again, Richard!

[@tolissis5702]

Siberia is really an endless country,very huge,roads without end...

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Absolutely!

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

amazing place,nice truck driver as well

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for the visit!

[@selcukcilek555]

That's a vast landscape. Imagined when people were living in the miner's town. Very imperessed by the sheer vast untouched nature. Thanks very much for taking us there.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Rubenfz6]

Mud, rear pads and a Ghost town. Nice pics and great vídeo.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time and watch this long video!

[@Adv207]

Nature, nature, openness and endless natural beauty! Here in USA we live in asphalt and concrete jungles, even the skies are obstructed by skyscrapers.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is what it is!

[@ioanc2]

Oh come on, you also have vast wilderness.

[@kasoameti4781]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW Bravo Man! Thanks for nice clip!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Glad you liked it!

[@l-gost7704]

Your videos really have a special character. The footage, the music, I really like it. It was the same when you did your trip “Frozen Europe “ a couple of years ago. Thank you for your efforts!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time!

[@dirkhuman760]

My man! My man! What nice drone footage! What a desirable journey! I'm starting to want a T7. At almost 60 it seems the ideal machine for easy reliable riding. WORLD RAID. Big tank. Nice job!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time and watch this long video!

[@samhill3496]

Interesting. You take the bad with the good which we have both experienced on my side riding the arctic. I've seen grown men cry at conditions such as that with very cold temps. Bear down and grit your teeth, twist the grip and move on. As a miner we see the ore or need for play out and thousands leave a ghost town behind much as that. Lives go, on down the road of life. Good vid Pavlin. Always have new pads, a spray bottle, maybe not. The Tenere is one tough machine.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time again, Sam!

[@skulijakobsson5116]

Much Enjoyment 👍😎

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for the visit!

[@respen43]

Glad I'm not the only person who stands while going over a bridge to look around

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Always!

[@tomtomek2642]

Thank you Pavlin😍 for the nice Videos , yadu w Magadan. I like this when you always say this 😍its reminds me on The long way Round trip with Mc Gregor and Boorman wich I have all DVDS 👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

My pleasure 😊thanks for taking the time!

[@AmaNotaGogo]

Mud, mud and more ... Good to see you survived. The footage without sound I found quite acceptable - other than your comments it is usually just motor sound. I would prefer visuals in the rain without sound (put music) than no visuals because of non-waterproof camera.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Okay, thanks for taking the time!

[@yorkchris10]

-36° C today. Kadykchan is further east than the eastern part of the Trans Siberian Railway. So coal was used to generate power 'locally' it seems. This would be considered remote for Siberia.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Yes, it used to have had a local power and heating system.

[@MrBokertov]

3:40 maybe its one of the bridges that Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor were trying to cross, but couldn't because it had collapsed, during their famous Long Way Round trip...? Anyway I suppose that road to Magadan has improved a lot since then (some 20 years ago)... Very nice video, Pavlin, as always, thanks!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Could be, but here are thousands of bridges there. Thanks for taking the time!

[@chema1546]

Ok 👏🎉👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for watching!

[@Jim52154]

After this long trip it would be nice to see how you wash everything down when you are back home and you can go over the parts how they look after being cleaned back to normal. Thank you for sharing! I will probably never go there, but its always good to see different cultures. It is completely different from what media generally suggests.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Yes, reality is always different.

[@markomarkovski9323]

Amazing videos, amazing trip! You motivated me to buy a motorcycle and start riding! Can't wait for more of your adventures!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time, man!

[@gbner9991]

Wow, this looks like I immagine Alaska. I think you are one of the first riders who documnents this so well.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@candro5510]

I see that there are portions of roads where they either repair or completely replace the pavement. So my guess is that there is a drive to update the roads network. Nice scenery though, despite the abandoned places.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Road works everywhere. In 5 years time it would be all asphalt.

[@volk9283]

Hello from Moldova🇲🇩

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Hi!

[@TonySMotorcyclePassion]

Those rocks look lethal. Maybe I need to finish the Dr650 project and start saving like crazy Pavlin

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Just do it!

[@AlexV-ic7qs]

Pavlin thanks for another great video full of beatuful places and the ghost town looks really cool! One question though: have you seen any dangerous wild life like bears or tigers? Is it something you need to be worried about when travelling through these parts?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

I saw bears a few times, but unfortunately, nothing on camera. I wouldn't recommend camping in this area. Thanks for taking the time!

[@AlexV-ic7qs]

@@motorcycleadventureslive Thanks for reply, take care!

[@TheUnsungVil]

Amazing how people are drawn (or compelled) to build such extensive settlement and infrastructure spread into the middle of nowhere.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

True! Many projects like these were built in the past.

[@hermandegroot1946]

I just watched a vlog from Iceland, even in the rain this is more depressing. But a good video, that's for sure😊

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@TheOriginalProfG]

What was the quality of the 92 Octane petrol? Was it good quality with no impurities? I found in rural Ireland similar petrol stations have very bad quality petrol which causes the bike to spit and conck out every so often unless you are running the engine at very high revs. The first thing I used to do when getting near a proper petrol station was to empty the tank and fill it with proper petrol. Many places in Co Donegal and even in Dundalk has shitty petrol.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It was good. It was even uses less petrol than with 95.

[@geomak65]

WOW!!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@geomak65]

@@motorcycleadventureslivefantastic video, it was a treat, with whiskey and chips in front of the fireplace 😀

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Good!

[@auroratours6716]

Might sound strange... but I think with only sunshine it wouldn't have been "so mystique Siberian" for ... many of us "westies" 🤔. Great travel content that is difficult to find amongst all those artificial giggeling "lifestyle adventurers" presenting solar-powered toothbrushes sponsored by affiliate partners on YT. RESPECT MAN 🤘

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

A true wilderness. Paying by card in the middle of nothing was just a surprise. In my opinion it is easier for them not to deal with cash. When did people leave that city? Everything seems to be quite fresh there.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is strange world, but I enjoyed every minute being there!

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

@@motorcycleadventureslive You are right. Every moment on a bike it is an adventure.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

True!

[@ChristophHaler]

At 20:48 min isn‘t this the broken bridge, Ewan and Charley had to fight with, right?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Could be, but here are thousands of bridges there.

[@Jim52154]

I probably know the answer but i will just ask. When you need to adjust the chain tension on the long trip, how do you use the right torque for the wheel? I always use a torque wrench, but I suppose you don't carry that on the long trip. Do you just feel it when bolt is tight enough with your experience?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Yes, I just know how much I have to tight.

[@MrTeriyakiman]

Does the sun ever shine? 😊

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Yes, a lot, but not on that day.

[@KIMBAKC3784]

Thank you for the Great Adventures, I am Very Jealous. My wife won't let me ride off road. Ot Very far from home. I'm only 62!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@allanb52]

With these roads every kg counts, both in handling slippery conditions and the sharp rocks on your tyres, sooner you than me, but I guess you have to take the rough with the smooth.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Absolutely!

[@Esthlosian]

Could you highlight the intro on the search bar? I always hate when I forget to skip it.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Sorry!

[@Esthlosian]

@@motorcycleadventureslive No need to apologise, I'm sure it's great for hooking people new to the channel. It's just annoying when you're already subscribed and intend to watch the whole video to begin with. And Like I said it's easy to skip so long as I remember.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Fair enough!

[@glennbowditch1277]

Is this the Road of Bones you are on ?

[@skulijakobsson5116]

That's American name 🫨

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

The is Kolyma Highway. Americans call it Rode of bones.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks for taking the time, man!

[@KIMBAKC3784]

Why are all those cities & buildings empty? Did the collapse of the Soviet Union cause this?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Not really. It was a coal mine there, and when it stopped working people moved away.

[@Polkan-Irk]

The history of this town (it's called Kadykchan) is somewhat more complicated. It existed for more than 50 years to extract coal to operate the local power plant. But in the last years of its existence, a new hydroelectric power station was built (the Kolyma hydroelectric power station is the only one in the world located in the permafrost zone) - and coal became unnecessary, as did Kadykchan itself. In addition, before these events, there was an explosion in the mine, which killed 6 miners. As a result, the country's leadership decided to close the mine and resettle the town of Kadykchan. The last resident left in 2010. And yes, these events coincided in time with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Other small villages existed even less - only to solve the problems for which they were built. This is a VERY cold region, it is difficult for a person to live there. People come, take what they need and leave. Leaving traces in the form of ruins...

[@OptimumPrime-t5u]

Russia is so big

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is big!

[@marcheighton6436]

Sad that other than the big towns and cities that Russia looks like a derelict waste land shame

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Depends on the point of view. It is a strange world, but I enjoyed every minute of being there.
