[@guzziman]

Its not about the horse power, it is about the experience, and people you meet along the way, and seeing the world from the ground up, Ride Safe Pavlin, Best Wishes

[@RRRRefuelRideRace]

6 hrs was a long time, but every experience counts. I am glad that both of you made it to Venezuela.

[@MichaelD1008]

Du hast sehr schnell und überraschend gut.... Spanisch gelernt! 😊,,👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

I have too

[@kensnodgrass1755]

I lived in Venezuela 30 years ago and traveled extensively in this beautiful country. Breaks my heart to see wonderful Venezuelans now living in what has become a hellhole.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is hard at the moment.

[@kensnodgrass1755]

@@motorcycleadventuresliveSafe travels!

Успех Варненски тигри! Лек път и късмет!

[@paulcoverdale8312]

Back in the day, we had to siphon from car tanks. Guys would paint cars green an yellow to show they were a mobile petrol car. Yellow an bleach was benzine or desiel . Stay safe guys. 🙏🙏👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧⛄️⛄️🎄🎄

Хей Павка, от ден на ден Испанският ти става все по-добър. Нуждата е велик мотиватор. Успех и без инциденти 😊

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Ами от немай къде...

[@LLew-1]

Thank you the update, your Spanish is good. Safe travels

[@antoniocruz5714]

The lady asks twice: "don't upload this to internet, please". They are not allowed to sell petrol in the black market. The dictator may put this nice lady in jail. Please respect the people!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Ok

[@jimphelps4466]

What is the price of premium in Venezuela? I would imagine it is about 50 cents a liter. By the way, Pawel at 21 Brothers answered my questions on the Rogal XL.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

50 cents per litter on the petrol stations, but 95% are closed

[@yorkchris10]

Here in Canada gas is more than twice as expensive as bottled water.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is what it is

[@samhill3496]

Good vid Pavlin. Four dollars, you are being held up Hands up. All good from east KY USA Be safe

[@bombadil_moto]

Hallo Pavlin! Vielen Dank für deine kurzen Einblicke auf den Reisealltag in Venezuela! Ich sehe, dass ich dann auch vielleicht mit meinen Spanisch Grundkenntnissen zurecht kommen werde. Venezuela möchte ich auch besuchen, da es dort Auswanderer aus meiner Region gibt, die unseren Dialekt noch sprechen. Aber ich starte erst von Süden und werde erst später 2./3. Winter nach Norden fahren. Schöne Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Glad to help!

[@MichaelD1008]

Danke! Für's Benzin. Gruß Michael 😊

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Thanks, Michael!

[@raimondasminiotas7456]

Thank you for sharing 👍

[@janmolent9438]

Nice progress with your Spanish . Good Luck 👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Necessity...

[@stephenformosamalta]

How safe it is? I am riding Latin America next year but I was going stay away from Venezuela due to uncertainty.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

No worries so far! People are great, police very friendly.

[@arainmk]

Drive safe brother Pavlin

[@teneretraveller8980]

I thought they spoke Portuguese in Venezuela, not Spanish, how wrong was I! Whatever works! How different life is elsewhere. This is why we travel Ride safe 👍

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Only in Brazil is Portuguese

[@xazakotr]

Your Spanish gets better and better!

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

I don't have any other options

[@Patshes]

🆒😎👍🏻

[@enduromotorradtouren]

Guess you paid a steeper price as usual ;-) Anyway, better than waiting at the borders for six hours. You need patience, Pavlin. Happy days, Günter/Nürnberg

[@fabreezethefaintinggoat5484]

stay safe

[@jjraptor84]

Welcome to my country, sadly our government is terrible, and the country is in bad shape, but the majority of people here are nice, don't trust the police or any "security" officer. Be safe

[@WJRobbins125]

And I think about how much time I've spent worrying about getting "good" fuel in my motorcycle! Were they getting that from a vehicle in back or do they just have random containers full of petrol?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Well...

[@WJRobbins125]

@motorcycleadventureslive 🤣

[@nikolaykolev3280]

Поздрави на Пацо.

[@brooksmagruder6662]

tengo means I have-- not do you have.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

True! Tiene is correct

[@milosbosnjak4278]

Did you learn language before travel, or you already know 😃

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

I knew some, I learned some...

[@Recorridosendosruedas]

That lady is saying “don’t upload the video to social media” 😂

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Too late

[@antoniocruz5714]

Because it's forbidden to sell petrol in the black market. The lady told: "esto es prohibido!" They have a certain amount of gasoline per week subsidized by the state and then sell it clandestinely for 1 dollar. Life is hard in Venezuela.

[@pacoromero3430]

Remove her face at least. She is asking nicely by firmly not to upload the video to the Internet.

[@100CupsColombia]

I might see you in Georgetown🤣🤣🤣

[@edmongeyt]

They asked not to be exposed ...

[@BeTouring_Bulgaria]

Английски, Немски, Руски и Испански?

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

Ами от немай къде!

[@BeTouring_Bulgaria]

@@motorcycleadventureslive а, и български:)

[@gscheben123]

Soooo.... 95% of the gas stations are closed, but "fuel" is $0.50/liter . "Some kind of fuel" can be bought on the side of the road for $1.00/liter. YES!!! This is adventure touring at its best!!! Ahhhhhhhh Hahahahahaha. [Aside: US petroleum engineers once told me Russian and Venezuelan Oil is harder to process, but much cheaper than the middle east.]

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

It is what it is

[@iRA_mkb]

She just told you at the end that she do not want to be in youtube.

[@motorcycleadventureslive]

I got it, but too late
