Goodbye Goa | Final Thoughts and the Cost of Living

[@kaizen2049]

India was beautifully elegant from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai to the calm serene beauty of goa, adieu india until we meet again ❤ off to sri Lanka

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

What a tragedy that it is so overwhelmed with litter. That alone would stop me going.

[@saikrishnathiwakarrk]

​@@Tomasz.P___b as an Indian , so sad to hear you comment, it is true there is garage everywhere one of the many reasons being too much population in a city or town. We never had enough toilets 10 years ago ,now we have toilets almost every where , the next is garbage and all. We are improving slowly , and hope you will come and visit our beautiful country one day. 😊

[@Hades-tw4ql]

@@saikrishnathiwakarrkdo not welcome ignorant tourists who base their entire knowledge about a country and its culture on what they see in their tiny plastic phone. Keep the hidden gems hidden.

[@tonywright8342]

India is the best country in the world by far. Some comments here are from people that have never been there. You may have clean streets, but you have little of anything else. You have to experience India… not believe a story you tell yourself because you see rubbish on the street. Thats conditioning. What India has most of the rest of the world lost a long time ago.

[@AMen-yw9cr]

November in Goa will be insane apparently, spoke to a Goan colleague and apparently they have a bike event where people from everywhere will be down with Royal Enfields, Harley's, KTMs and it sounds wild! Will be saving up, thanks Freddie/Monica and have fun in Sri Lanka!

[@FreddieDobbs]

The guys at Royal Enfield Garage Cafe told me about this- they also said it gets wild! It sounds incredible!

[@its--Evander]

It's just overhype .

[@O-G-zd4gb]

​@@FreddieDobbsthanks for the amazing travel blog👍 just thinking with only 2.4% of the world's land area with a total Population 1.44 billion, it is quite strange how even greenary, forests, farmlands and any patch of open landmass are available. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@tazzjazz]

@@O-G-zd4gb 2-3 northern states take almost all the population. goa and all other southern states are low to mildly populated relative to India. Thats why most of the tourists who do the quite over-travelled delhi-taj mahal-Rajasthan route face one the most populated places of India, and thus the uninformed bikkering about people being too close to each in markets spread, and the photos used by foreign media, of india which are mostly of those parts of the country also dont do much justice.

[@oov55]

It's something - but South India is full of surprises - in just daily life. Thanks for this particular video - Enjoyed it. But have to say, also made me quite sad - because that was my daily life 24 years ago and it was wonderful and life was good, with my young kids getting to grip with Indian school days ... and me on my very treasured Indian Enfield...fitted with sari guard ...and taking me to work and back, every day. tbh, got choked up with just seeing those scenes again.@@FreddieDobbs

[@JourneyOfLife001]

I feel much of your nice experiences in India were a result of you, with Monica's help, being nice to Indians.

[@MigomDoley360]

Hi Freddie, 5 years back I had the privilege of calling Goa my home for 6 months and looking back at it feels less to explore the whole of goa within that time span....most of my discoveries were just chance encounters that I stumbled upon on my bike be it capturing bioluminesence at midnight at Sinquerim to the Caves of Querim to the clean roads of Chorao and Divar islands to this place which you showed in this episode which I reckon are the northern cliffs of Anjuna right besides Hilltop goa...have some fond memories from my time there...glad that you enjoyed your time there...and I wish you come back some other time for more because goa never ceases to surprise you.

You’re bang on with the video location! I left so much unseen, I cannot wait to return🙂🇮🇳

[@TheTwinPost]

​@@rahulpednekar561He's a foreigner...me being an Indian myself have had a really good experience with the Goan traffic police. I remember being stopped for checking and they were well behaved and asked for my ID and licence and helped us out with few must visit locations....they joked with us asking who all drinks and what were our plans so that they can stop and issue a fine later on etc... ofcourse we were also respectful towards them and that's what we got in return as well.

[@epomenon]

As someone who grew up in India (now settled in Salt Lake City, Utah) and inherited a 1976 enfield bullet from my dad which I absolutely was in love with, I have to say, you are living my dream I.e cruising the roads of goa on a bullet !

[@Balakrishna1981-fw7rm]

Glad that you loved India. It's hard to explain.. India takes time to understand.. and sometimes I feel (after living in the west) that it's probably one of the "free"est countries to live. Precisely because there are not many rules you could live life without a care in the world and do whatever you want especially if you have some money. Certainly not for everyone though!!

[@FreddieDobbs]

This is it. I love this about India

[@larrywade9041]

I can see how free the country is by looking @ all the garbage strewn about. You may be free to throw all the garbage around as you wish. What a shame!!!! They have speeding law's as Freddie experience by getting a fine. Why don't they fine the hell out of these care-free lazy asses who litter!! To be honest, India would not be high on my bucket list for precisely this reason. I'd be pissed off the whole time their. It's hard enough to watch this on a video.

[@biker_dale]

Love how Monika just pans off you Freddie, to watch the dog 😄I can't believe they bother with speeding over there, hope it doesn't impact on your international licence. Sad to see the large amount of rubbish all around.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I know when I need to desperately wrap up my speeches!😆🐕 The litter is pretty rampant in India- it seems fairly standard to just standard to throw rubbish in the floor

[@GeorgeShepherd-c1l]

Best video yet Freddie.Calmness and serenity in a crazy world.

[@nirmalmondal6899]

These videos of India were incredibly perfect. This is what i can share with my friends abroad and home as well as to what they can expect from Goa.

[@TonyTheTruthWhisperer]

Normally, I view your videos for the quality of your bike reviews Freddie. You truly have taken much effort to air some top quality content. This time however, it was different since Goa used to be my second home for 19 years before I finally moved overseas. I even spent a short while working for the Royal Enfield dealership in South Goa in 2014 - 15 and it was around this time we got wind of the concept RE was planing. Therefore, viewing your video on RE's Garage Cafe was extra special. Thank you for this wonderful Goa series and looking forward to what you have to air in future. Heres to next destination Sri Lanka.. Happy travels to both of you and ride safe. Cheers.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Oh wow, what a place as a second home for so many years! I’m so glad you enjoyed the videos, thank you🙂

[@TIWNA851]

These last few videos have been bliss. Totally takes my mind off the weather we’re enduring here. Must be getting close to 9 straight months of the most damp, wet, miserable weather I can ever remember. Where’s the Triumph baseball cap gone Freddie?

[@philroberts5537]

I'm so glad you enjoyed India. Holiday reps and tour guides have said to me they find that people love it or hate it. I've been every winter for the last 20 years .For guaranteed winter biking in decent weather. Regarding the lack of people. A well known British tourist company ripped off several local hotels and they will no longer deal with them. This has dramatically reduced Brits staying in the area you were. Secondly the Russians seem to be far less present over the last two years. And finally the holiday season is Nov to Mar ,so you are right at the end of it. Look forward to seeing Sri Lanka as that's a new place for me. Safe travels.

[@davidn1562]

Thanks for bring us along on your trip, Freddie

[@Splash-nr8ot]

The amount of litter, it's so depressing, such a lovely place and all ruined by litter!

[@arnoldschwarzenigga2268]

That is what saddens me. I try to reverse it by picking others' trash and keeping it in my pocket or bag untill I find a dustbin. The primary trash is plastic packets, super easy to carry and dump in dustbins, but apparently majority scumbags in my country will take 100 more years to learn civility.

Yes we Indians need to learn discipline and cleanliness

[@tbillington]

​@@ScorchedEarthTactician you drunk bro

[@consciousbeing9654]

I as an indian get so mad for these people. The reality is that we as a nation are not that disciplined but i guess that comes because of all the freedom that we get in this country.

[@TheSujanroy]

I've been visiting Goa for 3 decades now and it continues to surprise me with hidden gems. You'll love Sri Lanka too. Same feel a slight but different flavour. And they're more careful with driving there. You need to come back to Pondicherry, the Himalayas and the North East India

[@88davidw]

Hi Fredie! Watching you cruise through my hometown on your motorbike brought the biggest smile to my face all the way from the US! It's like seeing a familiar place through fresh eyes. Keep the throttle twisted and content rolling - can't wait to see where the road takes you next!

[@kimjong-un464]

Thank you for exploring and defining Goa Fred… Viva Goa. Love from a fellow Goan in the UK

[@supernerd8527]

I am sure that I might not enjoy going there as much as I enjoyed watching these videos. The videography is top notch, the most simplest things were presented in a fantastic way. I wondered how Monica is filming these with a steady hand (probably a gimbal)! But the credit goes to her. Welcome to India whenever you wanna be back. 😌🙏🏼 *Hope the littering problem subsides in near future. I'm sick of it but it was a thousands of years old habit of throwing away leaves used for packing or other bio-degradable organic waste, no harm. It is hard to control half-a-billion people who still not realised the harms of plastic waste ever since plastic is being used here widely from the past 35 years.

[@_notME_77]

I have been watching all your last 5 for 1.5 hour at binge. Thanks Freddie for capturing beauty of goa with this humble enthusiasm.

[@webabhi]

I really love music of following places in India: Kerala, Goa, West Bengal and Mizoram. I have a playlist of 45 Goan songs I like. Even though Mizoram is part of India it feels like a foreign country. The youth there don't speak Hindi/Urdu and they speak Mizo. Their English is slightly better than Koreans. Nobody honks or jumps lanes and the cars stop for pedestrians. Their music is excellent and it sounds like US music of 1970s. My favorite Mizo songs from various years are following: 1) Kimkima: I zun ngaih (2019) 2) Sangtei Khuptong and K Hminga: Awm lo tala (2020) 3) Cassettes: E Khai (2021) 4) Zaii Hauchhum and Vanlalhmangaiha: Hmangaihte Hmangaihna (2022) 5) Saiwanah and Mary Dawngi: Ka Pa Khuma (2023) I have following Mizo playlists: 1) 25 Artists 25 Songs 2) Mizo Top 75 3) Mizo 460 songs I like.

Hi Freddie, In Goa it’s fine… but if you happen to travel in other places, I’d suggest, don’t venture around in isolated places for safety reasons.

[@shanewaters3360]

Brilliant series thank you

[@spdaltid]

Very nice! Freddie, I wouldn't worry about your "International Licence". It is really just an International Drivers Permit [IDP] issued under one of three UN Conventions [1926/'49/'68] and in some countries can issued by an Automobile Club. Your UK RAC can no longer do this since Brexit.... You can get away - in many countries - with just your foreign licence and no IDP. I've been caught speeding a number of times without one and usually let off with a warning only. But, you "should" get one for Sri Lanka if only for rental ease and peace of mind. From my understanding and minor infringement experience, there is no closed loop "licence" functionality back to home. If any country were to annotate or withdraw my IDP, I'd just "lose" it and grab another.

[@paulmcneill2666]

I love Goa . Glad you saw the beautiful side of it . Can’t wait to see you in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Freddie, there is in fact just the one rule of the road in India. Might is right. If a vehicle is bigger than you, then you must give way ;-) I learnt that from 5 months riding around India on an 83 BMW R100 in the early 1990's. Keep up the good work team.

[@johnalleman1134]

Don’t get me wrong Freddie, I thoroughly enjoy ALL these interesting travel and biking vlogs and I never miss a Tuesday at Dobbs, BUT… I seriously can’t wait for you to get back to, what was my core reason for following you in the first place, which is you, (and of course Monica!), with all your hilarious highs and lows, out and about and on road trips on your Bonnie (and road testing other bikes). 😊

Hi Freddie, loved the Goa content and India generally, very informative and entertaining. I have the same R.E 350 among my collection as they were still sold here in Australia until very recently. mine happens to be a 2016 I bought off an Indian fellow living here in Aus. The model you hired is a Twinspark (two sparkplugs) carburetor model that is why there is no fuel pump sound when you turn on the ignition to start the bike. They are a bit down on power compared to the 500's but cool all the same. Looking forward to Sri Lanka. Lester.

[@Lone_wolf_31]

Dear Freddy, Happy to know that you toured India. I must suggest you to please visit places like the Kailasa temple which was carved out of a mountain. It’s one of the most mysterious temples in the world because no one was able to uncover how a temple of such intricate details was not built but rather “carved” which was extremely impossible for humans during those pre medieval times. I’d recommend you to watch Praveen Mohan’s videos he’s basically a PhD in history archeology and he tells you about those mysteries of Indian temples. Honestly, you should be concentrating on these ancient monuments rather than beaches and stuff only then, you’d really appreciate the mysteries of this beautiful ancient civilisation that lived over thousands over years ago. Modern day India is absolutely nothing compared to what it was in the ancient times. I wish you nothing but the best. See you soon. Ciao ciao
