The fact that he has to come back each time to pick up the camera. Man, your patience is unbelievable. While on a bike trip, I am often reluctant to get down and take a photo, despite being a photographer.

[@Mario_ADV]

So glad you noticed it, many many thanks for appreciating it!

[@the3mevrick]

i agree every trip i come back without clicking pictures of many sites and decide to take more videos pictures next time but again next time its the same

[@sathyaki]

@@Qilin_Pegasus lol, you can't understand between drone shots and normal shots?

[@sathyaki]

@@Qilin_Pegasus see, the drone can't fly back with the tripod, right? Atleast some of those drive away shots are taken on a tripod.

[@sathyaki]

@@Qilin_Pegasus bro, military grade drons are different.

The older I get the more I think it’s important to live a life most don’t understand. Someone said that once.

Fantastic words, I couldn’t agree more!! Thanks so much for commenting 🙏

[@mrlg3811]

i come here for that vintage nature world, classic thumper with rythmic beats. those black and white videos and photos feels very positively mysterious like a different reality.

[@Mario_ADV]

Thank you very much! I'm super glad that you noticed those mysterious videos, hope you keep coming back for new episodes!

What a fantastic journey. I hired a 350 RE Classic when I was in India last, and rode the Leh to Manali road across the Indian Himalayas. Fabulous journey. And such a fun bike to do it on. Love your videos.

[@Mario_ADV]

Thanks so much Ian, surely you had a magnificent adventure in India, it's one of my dreams! Just watched one of your videos, what a fantastic trip on your sailboat!

[@youtubelivingonasailboat_1year]

@@Mario_ADVget over there sooner rather than later. They’re gradually tarmacking the entire route. It’ll still be amazing to do it, but not as much fun. I kinda like the challenge of dirt tracks, dust, rivers, and the like. I’m planning to head back in spring 2025. Hire a RE in Delhi and ride there for a couple of months: Kashmir, Leh, Manali and maybe Nepal too. Time will tell.

feels like i just found a Western version of me. I have an early M3 like you, and love travelling around with my motorcycles, too. Every weekend I'm urged to escape the city, to go on adventure through the mountains. I enjoy the ride, enjoy the photography without distraction. Thank you for the video.

[@Mario_ADV]

That's fantastic! So glad you related to the episode, I'm sure your M3 gives you great moments away from the matrix, just like my adventures! Please keep visiting the channel for new episodes. Cheers!

[@ceco941]

respect for all the work to clean the tires and all the motorbike for every shot, driving in so dust area will make the body and tired all dirt and dust... but they looks perfect in any shots ..

Le echas mucho valor yendo con esa moto y esos neumáticos por esos caminos. Además, no solo estas haciendo un viaje que ya para muchos de nosotros es algo inalcanzable, sino que ademas las fotografías y los vídeos tienen unos planos y un colorido tremendo, y usas una narrativa calmada muy envolvente que nos sumerge en tu viaje……Estas haciendo realidad tu sueño y lo estás transmitiendo con muchísima intensidad. Mucha suerte en tu camino, y gracias por compartirlo. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Muchisimas gracias 🙏 por este maravilloso comentario, esto me motiva tremendamente para poder seguir creando nuevos episodios, espero seguir leyéndote durante mis viajes!!!

[@alejandropavan3366]

Sí. Es una moto realmente pesada. Si pinchás el neumático es casi imposible trabajarla sobre piso de tierra. Se te entierra, y la longitud del guardabarros trasero hace imposible sacar la rueda hacia atrás.

[@karnijj1]

love the title, a concept my friends and i reference alot. likey cause we grew up in the 90's, but it life in the US can really feel like we are plugged in and our energy is being more beneficial to others than ourselves.

[@hugo8851]

I love how the RE classic is capable of going through the roads ADV bikes are meant for. Lightness counts going off-roading and the RE classic is around 200kg when a BMW R1250 GS is 260kg.

[@sathishrao7926]

How can I take a $25K GS for hard-core off-roading ? I don’t want to take her anywhere beyond my nearest coffee shop (to have an in-depth discussion about her off-roading capabilities with my GS buddies 😉)

"I will continue exploring nature until I find a harmony within myself and the world!" - The golden words. ❤️ Mario, isn't it hard for you to ride such heavy bike on the dirt in the mountains? Did you ever want to switch to something lighter? To Yamaha XT600e for example?

[@Mario_ADV]

Thanks so much! I'm very pleased that you felt that way! You're completely right, perhaps in the future I'll consider switching to a lighter bike, for now it's just fine since I ride pretty slow

@@Mario_ADV Classic 350 is a low seat, torque thumper. If you changed to a dual sport suddenly the seat is too high and the whole geometry is vertical - top heavy, even while lighter than the Classic 350.
