Motorcycle Trip to Magadan - Facts & Numbers!

[@scandiumvanadium9489]

Excellent. It was very big pleasure to watch all your videos from your last trip. Thanks!

[@motorcycleadventures]

My pleasure

[@whitedrguy6503]

Definitely an impressive trip, 3 months and nearly 40000 klms. I recently returned from my UK and Europe trip, 2 months and 12500 klms, made it to Romania to ride Transfagarasan and Transalpina and left my bike in Croatia. My old DR ran like a dream, 2 oil changes and one rear tyre, one fork seal leaked but that was from being tied down in a crate for nearly 3 months, will repair it when I get back next year. Motorcycle touring in Europe was a dream come true, especially on my faithful old DR 650 with over 320,000 klms on the clock. Can’t wait to see more of your trip mate, must have been an awesome experience. 👍👍👍👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing, Bill!

Good to hear from you the trip summary. You are very tough guy, so you had absolutely zero health issues for the entire period. As expected you had an excellent experience with Russia & Russian people. Great! I had viewed all your live short updates & now excitedly awaiting your detailed video series of Magadan.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Coming soon

[@konstantinmotoadventures9019]

During my trip to Magadan i was stopped by police only once. It was in the beginning of Kolyma highway just a few days before our meeting in Magadan. They just checked my documents, told me that i had to be careful in the area i was going, no asphalt and bears more then people... than polece men shook my hand and wished me good luck. Was no problem at all.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing, Kosta!

[@ioanc2]

Bears seem the stealthiest creatures ever. I’ve been many places so far, never encountered a bear in the wild (other than road side beggar bears, that’s a different issue but already not wilderness), despite seeing lots of fresh tracks and poo.

[@teneretraveller8980]

Big trip gives big numbers. Impressive. Cost? Well worth it. Travel is the only thing that makes you richer. Looking forward to the full length blogs. Ride safe and happy travels 👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes! Thank you!

[@janisgrosfogels3973]

That was brilliant.1/2 shave/full shave.Ha,ha,nice one Pavlin.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great travel, great adventure. Awesome that it was with no major issues. :)

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevedavies3322]

Hi Pavlin. Glad to see you`re still riding around the world and looking forward to watching your latest adventure. Take care and ride safe.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, man!

[@ponchyponchy687]

Congratulations for this far long trip Pavel. I'm on also on the road back from Morocco (> 2500km in 8 days). Lovely country with spectacular scenic views. I'm following your recommendations and I was very light in luggage with my Moto-Guzzi V85TT Travel and I never missed anything. My luggage was very efficient thank to you 😊

[@motorcycleadventures]

Glad to help!

[@Mrt_Silver_man]

Thanks for sharing your adventure with us Pavlin. Looking forward to the episodes. Със сигурност е било голя кеф, човек.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Да беше!

[@runeburdahl7141]

Thank You Pavlin. Very inspirational. Up here we struggle with the exchange rate at the moment but hopefully things will improve. Cheers from Norway.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Any time!

[@Sickfishdeluxe]

Excelent, Pavlin! It's good to see you back home safe and sound. My trip this summer was 33 days, 4700 km, 2 Up, Heavy Duties hard panniers and givi topcase, 95% asphalt, 6 countries, 3 ferries, max temp 40'C, one T-shirt. :D on a 2007 Suzuki v-strom 650, that I modified the suspension (Hyperpro) especially for this trip. I was able to do it with confidence and fun, also because I learned many things from you in the last years. So thank you, and have a nice relaxing vacation from the vacation :D

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for sharing!

[@churovmotofun]

Thank you, Pavel, for the realistic films and comments. We traveled with you, we experienced with you and we met with you.

[@motorcycleadventures]

My pleasure!

[@allanb52]

Nice to hear your trip went well Pavel. Ours from Portugal to Greece/Turkey/Bulgaria was the same, no issues with the van, people or health and I do have some health problems. The next trip is back on my bike, my Royal Enfield Meteor in Thailand, travelling around south-east Asia this winter, maybe Xmas in the Laos mountains. I went to Russia back in 03 when I did the Ladoga Trophy, now that was eventful, lots of breakdowns, winching through knee deep mud for hours into the midnight sun. We were also stopped by the police 3 times, £6 a time, so no big deal. I loved Russia, the people were great, women beautiful but not many smiles. As usual I didn't see enough, I wish I was as adventurous as you, but at 71 I keep trying...and I take the wife along everywhere....she says she wants us to die together.. Keep up the good work, I need inspiration.

Good that everything went so well on your latest big ride. I notice that you have a very solid double weather screen on the front.Did you design it yourself.

No, bought it from Ali Express.

Will do

The shots of your beard half shaved never gets old. It's funny to see every year.

[@doloritax65]

Neat workshop

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks!

[@TheUnsungVil]

Thanks Pavlin! In essence: Be prepared. Don’t rush. Stay calm, friendly and respectful. Learn the language and local customs beforehand as good as possible.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Well said!

[@TheUnsungVil]

@@motorcycleadventures and maybe a secret advice on top. The further Eastbound you travel, the less try to engage in politics. Especially lecturing the locals on what is „true“ or „right“ will only demonstrate your own biased worldview, and yield you precisely ZERO friends and potentially A LOT of enemies 😎 Remember: You are a welcomed GUEST in a foreign country - as long as you don’t disrespect the hospitality.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Exactly!

[@henrygerwien186]

@@TheUnsungVil Well said. What informations we ever have, they think another way. If I regard all the (german) media, in many countries I have not found them in real. 99% of all people look for good contact, peace, friendliness, they help you, if nessecary, even invite you or are interested in foreign people. Let politics out of a trip, nobody wants to be tought by others. ✌

[@TheUnsungVil]

@@henrygerwien186 and as always: Never forget that you are a GUEST in foreign countries!

[@newbee1976]

Very interesting epozode, short but very informative. Thank you Pavlin. And a can't believe how little money you spent on such a long journey. Moybe you can make one epozode about that.

[@motorcycleadventures]

My pleasure!

[@gbner9991]

What a huge trip. So many KM. I would probably get demotivated at some point :D I prefer trips not longer than two weeks personally. Then I am ready for home again :) I hope you show the wear on the bike in a future video. Also Pavlin for your height, I can only recommend you to put the rally seat on the bike. It makes the bike so much better to ride. And since you don't run crashbars, Camel ADV just released side panels for the T7 in real enduro plastic. I think that is a very interesting developement for us who prefer no bars.

[@Dedalus11973]

Hi Pavlin, I would like to know more about your equipment if you can say how it performed

[@motorcycleadventures]

The detailed videos will come soon.

[@jakob9913]

Happy all turned out well, you made memories for a life time

[@motorcycleadventures]

I am a lucky guy!

[@jakob9913]

@@motorcycleadventures my brother, I like to say that everyone is a creator of their own luck 👍🏼

[@motorcycleadventures]

I believe in what I said. Preparation is important, but without luck nothing helps!

[@BULLMERICAN]

read the instruction " Do not wash the riding gear with detergent" I do only outside with water holes

[@motorcycleadventures]

Yes, the same I do.

[@tomazmastnak]

Impressive! How many days did you spend off the bike? Means days you didn't ride and you had a rest?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Never counted. Not much!

[@uHcoMHRk]

It is very interesting that you changed so mane breakpads in the rear but not in the front. Could you explain why is there such a big difference ?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Nothing, just use them all the time. On the front I have double discs

[@nasirbasra]

👍

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamessmith9786]

Well done my friend! Would if I could. Need to fly across Atlantic and then find a bike. Does your "soldier" ever stand guard outside at night?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Many nights.

[@dirk-steffenmueller6161]

How many days you was in Russia during this trip and which kind of Visa you have ordered for the long distance back and force?

[@motorcycleadventures]

I was there for 2 and half months. I got 3 months business visa.

[@NeedleBender785]

Did you clean or oil the chain at all during your trip?

[@motorcycleadventures]

Never clean it, only spray it almost every day.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Is there some reason that a motorcycle tube cannot be patched? We patched bicycle tubes routinely when I was a kid?

[@motorcycleadventures]

No reasons, but it is always better to use a new tube.

[@alexstan5358]

Which tires did you use? Thanks

[@motorcycleadventures]

Mitas 07+, Mitas 09, Pirelli MT 90 and Dunlop D 908 F

[@STEFA74]

Hello Pavlin! Try the motoz tractionator Adventure tire at some point. They can withstand a lot of wear and tear, easily 15000-20000km. And besides, they are really strong (almost impossible to puncture), between the knobs the back of the tire is 10mm thick. I've been used several of these and liked a lot 👍 (ktm 990 adventure)

[@ansonlow7764]

Wow thank for sharing 95 days only 5k Euro. That's truly budget travel. Okie like you said. Staying club jouse n the rest you could get.

[@motorcycleadventures]

My pleasure

[@Ac3Meister]

Please make a video about Spoke Maintenance ! you need to get a torque spoke wrench

[@motorcycleadventures]

Never worried about it and never use torgue wrench.

[@gscheben123]

Great shave... what's with the backwards baseball cap lately? P.S. Isn't the globe ~40,000km in circumference?

[@motorcycleadventures]

About the cap, why not? Yes, 40,000km on the equator.

[@phildivalerio]

Damn impressive beard. You should grow it back.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Too late

[@ejaffer2182]

Pavlin, the beard looked cool. You can keep it 1:36

[@motorcycleadventures]

Too late, it is gone!

[@skybluetenere]

Well done 👍🏼 Wow, 400 km every day so one filling every day and economic fuel consumption. I made same experience with my T7. I remember you installed the MIVV Dakar muffler before your trip. Did you recognized a sound or quality change during the trip or when you returned home? Greetings from Germany, Bernd 💙💛🏁🤛🏼

[@motorcycleadventures]

I did not notice any differences.

[@fatpigeonadventurerider2118]

It would be good to do a video on getting a visa for Russia. Or share the agent you used?

[@motorcycleadventures]

No need a video for that because for every country is going to be different. Just check with your authorities.

[@fatpigeonadventurerider2118]

Ok thanks

[@fatpigeonadventurerider2118]

Could you share what visa you were granted?

[@GIANNNISAX]

Hi, I'm watching all your videos, to see if I can get to Magadan too, I'm preparing some questions, I'll give you the first one: I have a Yamaha T7 WR, I'm thinking of converting the wheels to tubeless (rear no problem, front change rim) do I still have to bring the inner tubes? What do you think about tubeless Congratulations for the trip, for the videos and all the explanations. Thanks a lot !!!

[@motorcycleadventures]

You will need the tubes anyway because you might bend a rim.

[@ChristophLeitl]

Here is a secret, Pavlin: A few years ago you published a video on the reliability of your Ténére 660. To proof it, you pushed it down into the grass intentionally. "Oops" just like in the beginning of this video. Did you know we say let's watch a video by Oops?😂😂😂
