it goes deeper than that. most offroad/adventure gear is made to protect you from impact and fall damage but it is not manufactured and designed to withstand the tearing and grinding that comes with sliding on asphalt/concrete roads.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Life is good!

[@rabukan5842]

I couldn't agree more - simple, lighter, plan, etc. - if your goal is to travel the world in specific periods of time. For me, adventure has a different meaning because I am about to retire at 67 and we will have all the time we need to be wherever we want. I prefer to take my time and "explore" cultures, and yes, nature. So my next bike will probably be a Tiger 900 GT (not the rally because I am only 5'7" and I will not be jumping boulders.) I would consider a Tenere 700, but they are quite tall, and like you, I like to flat foot my bikes, but I don't mind a little extra weight (I used to ride cruisers,) so I will have full pannier sets. I prefer comfort first these days, and we will spend a few days, weeks, or months in each place we ride to. Since we've lived in Asia for almost 18 years, we will travel through Europe on motorcycles, or just my one motorcycle. We don't need to get to anyplace by a certain date, only a specific season based on weather, so plenty of time for planning. I would like to do this until I can no longer do it. That's what adventure means to me these days. I really enjoy your videos Pavlin. You are true to who you are. Thank you.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for taking the time, man! Good luck on your adventures!

[@samhill3496]

All good Pavlin. It is what it is if they will just listen the learning will be much more fun and enjoyable. Otherwise it can be hard as a Sunday morning bone

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@pjakszentis]

Pavlin, you are absolute right with your five hard learned lessons. Especially the right protective gear makes the difference between a few bruises or broken bones, i.e. the end of the trip somewhere in the middle of nowhere. I realize that you are a fan of the Tenere and you are not alone with this preference for back-to-basics. Just because of age I still know how clutch control, braking and controlled throttle work. For offroad travel I had the simplicity of the 2010 690 for more than 73,300 km and continue to enjoy this puristic bike, especially if the focus is on off-road tracks. On my 890 there are electronic features I wouldn't need, but the don't harm neither. You can optimize your settings to your liking, but there is no need to play around the whole time. No problem with the electronics on the 43.000 km so far. I have chosen the 890 over the Tenere for the quality of suspension as the real sales prices for both bikes where very close in January 2021.

[@paulodelunafreire5013]

Man, I loved your video... I arrived from an international trip 5 days ago from Argentine Patagonia. It was 9,700 km in 23 days. And, although it happened by car, if I had watched your video during the planning, it would have helped me a lot, even going by car, since not every day was for long trips. So, I can say that the issue of mileage, travel time and flexibility in the itinerary are really fundamental. I had problems like that, especially on my return. I have always traveled by motorbike and car, but due to personal situations I am starting to increase the mileage of my trips and need to go by car instead of the motorbike. In my case, as I was in a car and not on a motorcycle, I was able to take a lot of drinking water with me from home... what would you say about drinking water on motorcycle trips? Thanks a lot!

I have hydration pack and use it all the time.

"If you have nothing to do, grab ur fav drink and stay with me" - bro I have sleeping to do. But still watching 😂

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks, man!

[@TacticalHamsterDance]

Thanks for the video, Pavlin! Personally, I really like planning. Even if you stay in your country, so you're familiar with all necessities, proper planning will help you find "lost" places that many will pass because they do not plan. Ask yourself if you're really discovering as you're riding. The answer is most likely not, you know you want to get to place B, you remember you need to go roughly around places C, D and E, so you just look at signs - which will guide your through an optimized road. A backroad, possibly one with limited access, one that you'd discover if you checked the map and various servers, will be hidden for you. For technology, I think the discussion is overrated. People ask all the time: "You have a radar for ACC, what are you going to do when it breaks?" as if they made a move which will lead them to checkmate me. The answer is: "I'm just gonna ride further with no ACC", which is notably very similar as riding on a bike with no radar and no ACC. Yes, I will pay a lot when I return back from the trip, I am not going to say nothing is free. But until then, nothing is going to change. Yes, there is crucial technology without which the bike doesn't work, like an ECU. But this is in all modern (

[@motorcycleadventures]

Thanks for taking the time and sharing your opinion!

[@elgringoec]

Yes I am not too sure how genuine is Charly Sinewan is with his "No Plan" stated mantra. He also tells of "getting this track" from so-and-so therefore demonstrating that he in fact has planned. I take it as loosely planned overall and subject to modification. I am still riding a 40 year old Honda that was highly engineered. It has no cpu but can still be "bricked" if an electronic ignition coil exciter module fails. I am all for minimising potential failure points and learning how to operate in adverse conditions and not to trust rider aids but the idea of being fail safe is an illusion.

[@TacticalHamsterDance]

@@elgringoec of course, one should be ready to modify the plan depending on circumstances. Things happen. As for the electronic, I think I agree with you. The ECU is the most crucial but also (in fairly modern bikes) most omnipresent. And with older bikes, they need a lot of maintenance due to their age. Sure, said maintenance is simpler than it would be on modern bikes, but the question is if you (not you personally but as a person who is going to travel) can do it at all...

[@elgringoec]

@@TacticalHamsterDance It's true, maintenance is key, as is one's knowledge of how things work and the particulars of one's own machine. My 40 yo Honda has not required much maintenance. Oil changes, filter cleanings, and inspections aside, which are needed for all machines, the only times it has failed to start have been the battery. On one occasion one ignition module went out so it ran on two of the four cylinders. It has been surprisingly low maintenance. But would I feel confident taking it on a journey today? Not really. I don't know of anything about it that's weak, it still rips, but all that stuff still original with that age... I mean, something could go wrong with any bike. This one is probably still more reliable in some regards than some new ones perhaps; however, how easily, quickly, and affordably could I get my hands on say a replacement ignition module? How about clutch cylinder seals that could go pop? Same with the brake hydraulic systems. Could be an issue.

[@gerharddahlheimer5485]

Good advices as allways Pavlin. On the other perspektive a good deal of them should be common sense - actually. But as you mentioned in a Video some years ago that's not given to everybody.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Absolutely! Thanks for taking the time!

[@PawełOrdyński]

Hi Pavlin. I agree with your advice 100%. Very good video. I want to ask you about a technical aspect.How often do you change the oil in the front fork of your motorcycle. Opinions on this subject are very different. Thank you very much.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Depend on the mileage or the way it was used, but not less than once per year. Usually, after any long trip.

[@PawełOrdyński]

@@motorcycleadventures Thank you Pavlin.Have a nice day.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Any time!

[@alberguti3937]

I agree pretty much in everything. The only thing I can t agree is the use of the protections. Not that I disagree, I simply never had any. In my good old times there were none. I mostrly traveled in the ninetys, but still do it now. I ride pretty much every day on dirt roads...I can t imagine using every day protections. May be if I go on tour, so to say. I d like to know wich ones you recomend. Probably you do in another video. Back to your advice, ligthness is paramount, specially if you travel on dirt roads, wich in my case is almost always. I live in a little developed country. The bike should be maximum 250 cc for the weight. Keep it below 20 is already difficult, jaja.

In the end, it is your decision to have it or not. I have many videos on gear, just check the channel.

[@keesverhagen9227]

For sure weight matters. But i have always liked to camp. And during the day scoring some ingredients to cook in the evening. So a petrol burner with some pans and a hammock i have to take along. When you go from hotel to hotel it is easier to save some kg's. I am always between 25 till 30 kg's. And during the trip even more when i need to carry 10 liter of spare fuel. And also a minimal of 3 till 4 liters of water. But sometimes 6 liters. I also find it horrible but when going through 45 degrees Celsius i have to drink constantly. And take supplements. It so much depends on the time of year you are in certain countries.

The mileage per day depends on the terrain you ride. There is not a.common formula out there for every day riding should be a distinct mileage. There are lots of factors affecting your daily mileage. One day you may do 800 kms, but the other day only 100kms you do. The factors: firstly your personel preferences; why you ride, what you want to see, what is your aim, etc.; geograohy where you ride; regulations at the respected country or terrain; road conditions, pavement or dirt road; toll roads or not toll or mixed; you may add lots of factors. You decide depending on the process on the go. Being on the road whichever way or wherever you like.is the formula.

Something I suspect you have experienced as I have. is many time you get people who say things like don't go here its too dangerous and so on. What I've noticed is every time I have been told this. i just ended up meeting lovely people and have a great time. For example went to Shan State in Burma. Which at the time 2008 had a civil war going on. I remember the first night staying on a real dive of a hotel in the middle of no where and at night going to the bar next to it. A group of soldiers came in, we could not speak each others languages. But, they invited me to eat with them and drink some of the local home brew whisky. Same when I went to Pakistan, Iran and Syria. Many people don't understand when you go to places that most people would let say consider dangerous and you smile and you're on a motorbike. I've never come across a situation where I felt threatened or anything. Just curious lovely people.
