It is time to ride! | Season 5 | Episode Episode 3

[@Nikki_Holland]

You are absolutely right about being hooked on riding bikes. I started riding at 17 years old and I’m 61 now. I still love it

[@motorcycleadventures]

Absolutely!

[@murraydupley9330]

adv bike paradise, everybody would be hooked on riding a motorcycle if they had a chance to and tried. especially there.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Agree

[@MotoHolic]

Beautiful scenery! And the Yamaha RX100 is such a fun bike to ride! Maybe not for long trips and intense off-road, but for around the city and small fun rides - it's great. Love the sound and power to weight ratio. Great video, like always!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, I love it! It's remind me about the 70cc I have tried in your home!

[@augustosaviatto1673]

That 2 stroke sound and power brings out a huge smile immediately. Thanks for sharing all these nice moments

[@biglifeesamvlogs6255]

Welcome To India

[@sujoydey8469]

Beautiful Roads and excellent places. Greenery every where along with a great friend like Ashwin and legendary RX100!! Huge respect for Ashwin.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks Sujoy!

[@iamtourer]

Thanks for your comments Sujoy.

[@georgetse83]

That video brings up memories from my time in India!! Great video mate, keep it up and safe travels!!.. It actually helped a lot with my decision to sell my Vstrom 650, get a Himalayan and ride to India from Greece..

[@thestone3849]

The Fort is Sinhgad Fort with brave history . Sinh means Lion. Gad (some write it as Garh) means Fort. That crispy onion item is called Bhaji (Pakoda out of Maharashtra state) made from the floor of Chickpea lentils (Chana or Harbhara in local language also called as besan). The later gravy (Zunka or Pithla) with Bhakri (indian bread) was also made from the same Chickpea. For yougurt we also call it curd. Nice to see you enjoying like in your country. This fort is now a days famous for this curd and Zunka Bhakri and butter milk. Just for the interest of other viewers about some local things

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you very much for adding this info!

[@thestone3849]

@@motorcycleadventures Thanks for your reply

[@Dee_p_sa-ku]

I love the voice of Yamaha RX100, my cousin had it, he is working with Yamaha now. I love this small road, beautiful. No helmets, surprising, it is compulsory to wear helmet for both riders. I drove Yamaha R15 at Pune long long ago.

[@motorcycleadventures]

It is really funny bike...

[@Dee_p_sa-ku]

It was the only bike at about Ruppees 25000 in 1990 which crossed 120kmph, but shaked or vibrated a lot at such speeds.

[@leahcarr6064]

I always look forward to your new videos. You have been able to travel to many countries I would like to go to one day. Thanks so much for sharing your travels and adventures.

[@motorcycleadventures]

It is my pleasure! Thanks for taking the time!

[@kirky0073]

You know Pavlin, I bought a Himalayan last month on the back of your recent adventure videos! Looking forward to watching it in more detail as the trip progresses.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good, I hope that you will like it. Let me know what you think when you have a bit more km.

[@jorgegal76]

very peacefully place, great view. excellent my friend!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you!

[@hershchat]

You are amazing. Most people criticize other cultures, and India requires special eyes. It’s amazing how you do it. I am from India, so it’s easier for me. Where to next for you?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you! India is country with great history and I believe that everyone should respect it.

[@elendshuraglump3620]

Hi Pavlin, the traffic in Pune is horrible. But the area outside is outstanding nice. I like it. Best regards to Ashwin. Ride safe, Hans

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks Hans!

[@bakabezzraka]

jako lijepo

[@TheCaretaker555]

such a joy to behold.......not a BMW R1200GS rider anywhere :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

True

[@Dee_p_sa-ku]

I do not like this motorcycle but those who have are die hard fans of it. Yamaha RX100 was the best bike in 80s n 90s in India. Beautiful place.

[@mesbahahmed2621]

Yamaha RX 115 with Energy Induction system was a dream bike in our country once upon a time. Ceat tyres are good in this part of the world. Spectacular view from the top of the hill. Yammy food. Yogurt seems sweet :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, the small Yamaha is very interesting bike and the yogurt was great.

[@teneretraveller8980]

That Yamaha looks very like my 1st bike. 1976 RS100 Yamaha. Bought in 1980. Loved it. My first taste of freedom on the road Also looks like tube tyres is best there. Try getting a tyre for your cast wheel special there . Great to see bikes so popular. Think I could live there quite happily. Happy travels

[@motorcycleadventures]

Agree, the happiness is just everywhere...

[@बंडोपंत]

Jai Bhavani , Jai Shivaji!!

[@alim.ocakli]

Dear Pavlin, Yoghurt is not coming from Bulgaria, Yoghurt is coming from Turkey :) Have a nice and safe trip

[@cliffordalexo234]

Love the Yamaha RX 100 , great bike .its an all rounder .

[@motorcycleadventures]

Really funny bike...

[@southamericanrocker]

Yamaha RX100 are great small bikes! Over here in Colombia we have those too!

[@motorcycleadventures]

True

[@atmajnaikwadi7019]

In Maharashtra there are so many forts like this... You love to travel forts grunted

[@motorcycleadventures]

It was beautiful!

[@PepperLim]

The roads are more suited for adventure type bikes.

[@motorcycleadventures]

True

[@cliffordalexo234]

Thanks Ashwin .

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for taking the time!

[@capravinbhise2336]

Welcome to Pune Sir...

[@motorcycleadventures]

I was there 3 months ago, but thanks!

[@olafjensen4508]

They called onion barges. Deep fired onion in batter

[@olafjensen4508]

You will get the shits from that first local dish lol. We have this food all over where I live

[@kalaiindian]

Nice video Pal... Keep it coming...

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you!

[@gromit576]

Hello Paval: I plan to visit India and Bangladesh next Feb. Did you rent or buy a used Himalayan in India? thank you

[@motorcycleadventures]

It was given to me

[@Khurram_the_hodophile]

Nice video nice views. Thanks for showing us. I would love to do a motorcycle road trip in India but it’s almost impossible for me because I’m a Pakistani.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I am afraid that in this stage is going to be impossible.

[@Khurram_the_hodophile]

Let’s hope for peace between the two countries in my life time so that I can do it.

[@arnabbhattacharjee1135]

Shahzad Bhai, we have no problems with any Pakistani common man ,we know well problems are with politicians of both the countries........I have seen videos of mr. Pavlin and found for a common man any part of the world is heaven.......do try to come......don't lose hopes

[@KSPappi]

Thanks Arnab Bhattacharjee bhai. I will visit India one day. Peace

[@cohall46]

Since you did not own the bike did you pay for the new tires out of your own pocket?

[@adityajoshi6093]

Ahah , My City Is Best 🔥

[@biglifeesamvlogs6255]

The best way to enjoy it is to ride it in real Himalayas...places like shimla,manli,himachal,sikkim ,etc.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I already did it.

[@vesso_georgiev]

Hi Pavlin! Question about the mesh you had on the seat: what was your opinion about that after the trip was over? I was about to put one of those on my seat, but I have heard comments that it damages the seat itself and also the rider’s trousers. It is made of 3-d woven hard nylon fiber and I tend to believe these comments. It is getting rather popular here, though as it allows some ventilation for some important parts of your body. 😜 Please, share your experience. Thanks!

[@motorcycleadventures]

It is definitely helps to keep my ass and aloud me to ride the Himalayan more than 7,000km. Without it, with the stock seat I wouldn't be able to. I have heard that it could damage the trousers, especially jeans, but I have no problem with my motorcycle pants. If you ride with very thin pants, you actually feel it.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Another one benefit is that it keep the seat dry even when it's rains.

[@vesso_georgiev]

Thanks a lot! Yes, it definitely helps with ventilation and keeping you dry. I checked that on someone’s bike. My concerns are about the upholstery of the seat and my alpenstars pants... Probably I should get one, in Bulgaria the price was half of that in Germany.

[@siddharthnaik3646]

@ Vesso...hello..that mesh stuff costs around 2 US$ from which one can stitch 3 seats (bigg) Or 1.3 US$ for a readymade seat-cover..(1 piece) Its amazingly helpful in our hot summer weather.. If worried for the pants to b destroyed, which is true, one can use medium-thin hand-towel over the mesh-seat (I use it :)

[@babahimachali]

What’s motorcycle shop name and address if you remember please?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Cannot remember.

[@ahmadizzatshahmieralhamdul4926]

Alhamdulillah :)

[@murraydupley9330]

what was that mess material, my klr 650 seat i need to recover.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Plastic mesh, actually it is like few leers.

[@murraydupley9330]

@@motorcycleadventures few leers?

[@yariendedispo671]

I buy it for 4 euros on Aliexpress… ;-)

[@Alllexman]

Sri Krishna ate yogurt before Bulgaria appeared 😊

[@motorcycleadventures]

When exactly?

[@Alllexman]

Last time it was 5000 years ago, but this events happen cyclically, every Brahma’s day (4,32 billion years) and this yogurt actually came from a spiritual world and it can appeared in any place on Earth in anytime. Like it was in Bulgaria. Even in Ramayana times it was yogurt. And that happened 18 billion years ago. Yes you are a western man and it’s hard for you to believe in this, but you were in India and you should respect their Vedic point of view. Especially now a lot of scientists can agree with it.

[@motorcycleadventures]

All of this is a mitology, no proven facts. On the other hand the first recorded facts for Bacillus bulgaricus are from 19' century: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogurt

[@deepakradhakrishna9592]

As per new law, Pune motorcycle riders should wear certified helmets compulsory or they need to pay fines.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good

[@Maxim_Miroshnichenko]

In Pakistan, it was funnier and there was more madness on the roads =)

[@motorcycleadventures]

It was similar here, just watch the rest of the episodes. Definitely the worse traffic was in Pakistan.

[@terryhaught9976]

Where are all the women riders, must be like Saudi Arabia!

[@motorcycleadventures]

I have seen some, but not so many...

[@OxMani]

Pakistani roads much betters also scenery..

[@motorcycleadventures]

Depends from the region

[@ganeshkdm]

It's due to heavy monsoon, the sand below roads gets softer nd roads turns into pot holes...Nd if everything is well maintained like cities then whats the fun of riding in outskirts...! Just putting forward my thoughts... respect ur opinion..! 😊
