My pleasure, Reg!

So unspoilt. Let us hope it does not get overdeveloped. Beautiful landscape.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Absolutely!

[@allenhuling598]

Great video, Pavin, and fantastic roads for both riding and seeing the real Romania! Dogs seem like the biggest hazard in that part of the country! Ride safe!

Yes, it was great there, Allen! Dogs are noisy but harmless.

Well done Pavlin! No GPS, only maps and additional information is needed for navegation. Twist roads an with gravel mix, sometimes some mud, flanked by small villages and mantles the green threes. What gorgeous views... Just a perfect day.... Take care and have a great and pleasant weekend. 👌

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, Antonio!

[@mikehurley5052]

I remember driving through Romania years ago, i have never seen so many dead dogs on the roads anywhere, and i have lived in the Balkans for 15 years. This video shows why, only takes one to have you off the bike in a second.

[@motorcycleadventures]

There are many dogs in East Europe

[@gokcemuratozaydn799]

I think you forgot to hit the 'Start navigation' button, thats may be the reason that ap did not put your position in center of screen during your ride ? Love your videos.

[@motorcycleadventures]

No it will not and I don't have a telephone holder.

[@DraganBakema]

I feel as if I am a adventure traveler, but while I am watching your video on my sofa at home and I see the constant stream of dogs comming out of nowhere..I am hitting the front and rear brakes in my mind all the time! I dont like them chasing you when driving by. Hahaha, so much for me being a adventure-man. In april I start my first European moto-camping tour Netherlands-Serbia...have to mentaly prepare myself for the dogs, that's for sure.

[@frugalcode]

They just make noise, nothing ever happens but in Romania in particular and in the mountains they are sooo big. Bears :))

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good luck on your trips!

[@motorcycleadventures]

True about the dogs.

[@DraganBakema]

@@frugalcode Oh come on now! Not as big as bears please...hahah..thanks for the headsup

[@kenobi2011]

I always have a nice time watching your vids, Pavlin. I can’t wait for the next episode although is like looking at stars...the light is from the past 😊. And now, a special edition for some of us, which are Romanians 😉 @Dragan: Alin wants to say that in the mountains, the shepherd dogs are big, because they have to fight with bears. But, hey, Dragan, get rid of these thoughts before you start the engine! Good luck to all of you!

I use the Quad Lock to hold the phone and it works amazingly even off road. You’re a brave man around dogs 🐕. I worry I will hit they end I go down. That would suck. Ride safe and have fun. 🇺🇸

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@linusdegrell]

Did the same until this year, found the track on the map and made a list to follow. Then I got the Beeline device which allows me to still find the track on the map as I want to, and then the arrow points me in the direction I should go. Some (enough) tech on the handlebar :) Ride safe!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Good!

Great video! We here at VikingBags really appreciate your content!

[@mickrides615]

Wonderful countryside. If dogs give you trouble try some Ammonia (Cleaner) in a spray bottle, one sniff and dogs are gone!!!

[@motorcycleadventures]

Not really useful when you ride a motorcycle.

[@silfear1]

That reminds me my first navigation. I was also worried about my phone battery and I also made list of points and duck taped it on gas tank. Its not so fancy as GPS. But it works and it has it's own magic :-). Also thanks for the tip. I plan to go to romania for trip like this. So those maps will be usefull :-). I see they also have printed version so maybe I'll take that one.

[@motorcycleadventures]

You are welcome anytime!

Could you make a comparative between traditional street alloy rims, traditional iron/steel spoked rims and modern tubeless alloy spoked rims for an adv travel bike? Very good video, you inspire us thanks, greets from Spain 👍Jesús

Yes, I have already watched it, 2 years ago ! but new expensive adv bikes have spoked with alloy rims and tubeless, and i think they are not suitable for off road , that kind of wheel was not covered in that video, thanks for your answer

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@Jessam131 Hi! A bike with spoked rims and tubeless tires is suitable for any kind of road. Why don't you think so? It has all the advantages of a spoked rim without risking an explosion an being easier to be repaired....

You can also download a specific area in Google Maps for offline use. When you have wifi you download the whole country map and then you can use the google maps app offline. You can also load a route in google maps when you have wifi and then just follow the route offline, it will not update but you can see where you are live along the route.

[@motorcycleadventures]

I know that.

Good!

Pavlin you should check out the Beeline Moto nav, its the size of a watch head that just points you in the direction you want to go

[@motorcycleadventures]

I know what it is, they even asked me to review it but I don't have any interest. It works with your telephone and has the same downsides.

[@motorcycleadventures]

No, they are just noisy.

[@nc750xdct9]

@@motorcycleadventures Okay, thanks. So I'm becalmed. BTW, your navigation is not old style. I do it similar. First I buy a paper map (or sometimes some more detailed paper maps) from the area I would like to travel. Second paper is same to you. Write a list with important (way)points like vilages or other POIs from bottom to top. Then I plan the route (less or more detailed) with help from an internet map and transfer all (less or more) waypoints (coordinates where to turn left or right) to my Garmin. So I have the route in my 'field of view' on my navigation system and for the case of mal function or for a greater overview I can have a look in my paper map.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Cool!

[@nickthequick]

I am enjoying your videos Pavlin, and your down-to-earth manner, but when you say things like "these are the real people, the real life" you are in effect diminishing both the lives and the people of those who live in the cities, and which are precisely as real as those in the countryside. The sentiment you express is straight out of the Romantic period (1800-1850) where nature and "the savage" (what we today call the indigenous people) were idolized by the bourgeois in the cities. Nature may be beautiful to our eyes, but it is brutal in its indifference to us, and farmers may seem to be closer to nature, but they live brutal and hard lives in the brutal environment that the human race has tried to escape for as long as it has existed. I am not preaching here, just trying to be real ...
