Hi mate, greetings from Australia. I want to commend you on your journey and the uploaded episodes. They are very informative and extremely helpful to our team of 2 who are replicating your adventures from Tblisi to Bishkek. Well done and thanks for all the effort in making and editting the videos.

I love your videos, are you gonna be posting the rest of the trip?

[@letsride3604]

Thanks. I will... have a problem though, my Mac book pro is waiting for a certain chip to be installed, something related to the battery pack. Because of this world chip situation/ China/ USA all chip deliveries takes for ever, in my case alrefy 4 months. I hope that it will be delivered and installed up till December so that I could continue editing and posting new videos. So sorry for the inconvenience.

Where do you take gas when riding through the mountains? Not mentioning if you have a mechanical problem...

[@letsride3604]

I want say "you always find gas somewhere" 🙂, so I prepared myself for that way in advance. As I told in some of the videos before, I did excel table with all information related to this voyage: km/day/ location/ GPS/ and so on. Gas station location I took from one website which is giving mostly accurate data gas-station.info/en/p/gas-station/fyxs7dLBg432Jy8rk . In any case I always took few options, just in case. Plus maybe it doesn't look too much but beside the original 34 liters (9 gallons) tank I took one spare 1 gallon tank. All of that was giving me nice 600km of driving without a gas station. From Osh to Bishkek you have some 750km across the mountains, but gas stations appears roughly every 250km, small villages but still with gas station, locals have to drive as well 🙂. Tajikistan was bigger challenge, but never a problem, I remember once I enter one village and asked people who has some fuel to sell, found the guy very quickly, so no problem. And as for the mechanical problem/s, this is R1200GS, possibly done by greatest engineers, so no problems 🙂, well for small fixing I was carrying some tools, e.g. to change a tyre, fix some things... "Bigger" problem I had later on in Kazakhstan, but again not that big that I couldn't handle them.

Hello , I suggest not to use the Camera on your Helmet but to put it in front of your Helmet behind your Chin or jaws of the Helmet , if not your are really wasting all those beautiful sceneries .

[@letsride3604]

Well, maybe for the next adventure ;-), still placing this one together, too many hours of material remaining. I have Sony fdr-x3000, it has nice flat shape to be placed on the right side of the helmet, plus it has remote controller with screen that I can see. I'll have to check if there is any possibility to do it manually on the existing camera. In any case it is what it is, doubt that I can do anything with it at this moment.

I really enjoy your lay back informative style. I have been watching over and over and I don't tired. I hope to be able to ride this part of the world.

Hello my friend, your videos was very helpful to me. I plan to make this trip soon, but all the way to Napal. I have a question, is it possible to enter Pakistan without crossing into China or Afghanistan going the way that way?

[@letsride3604]

I think so, for example from Georgia to Armenia, Iran, Pakistan, India, Nepal. 😉

Hello my friend. I hope you are fine. when will you upload the next part? Greetings Aykut

[@letsride3604]

Good point, I hope soon. I was too busy, plus some issues with my PC, but soon it will be out. I would say for 10 days or so. ;-)

[@Blacksea_Overland]

Where are you now? Did you finish the trip?

[@letsride3604]

@@Blacksea_Overland yes, back home :)

[@Blacksea_Overland]

great, I hope everything went well and you are already planning your next tour 👌. I also want to make the trip with my 1250 gsa from Zurich. I drive by in Croatia from time to time, next time I'll get in touch with you. greeting

I really enjoyed it. I like your laid back style of commenting. Great scenery and informative too.

[@raymondvoigt7336]

Another excellent video! Thank you so much for sharing with us!👍

[@MihaiArdelean]

Nice road, nice adventures and a lot to learn, as i someday will adventure myself that way! But why are u using so low quality uploads to YT?...

[@letsride3604]

Thanks buddy. As for the quality of the uploads, sorry to hear that, could be the case that you were among first few that were watching video while it was still processed up to the HD quality. At start it's placing it as 144p later on HD. Or it could be that you are referring to some parts of the video that are with bad voice quality from my camera. The thing is that few times I forgot to remove waterproof shell from my camera and then you can't hear voice that good 🙂

[@knzfvihfs]

Low Quality,that's coz ur filming your helmet,U are probably using somekind of "auto Focus"for filming,and camera focuses on helmet,means everything else is not in focus,means not sharp focus,means looks like low quality video,greetings from croatia

[@letsride3604]

@@knzfvihfs Yeah I know that, noticed that as well. I'm using Sony FDR-X3000 RFDI on right side of my helmet. Camera for some reason has sharper focus on helmet. Not sure if that can be resolved without moving it away from the helmet. For the time being it is what it is.

Beautiful. You do what others cannot. But we enjoy.
