Petrosani Road & Hunedoara Castle | Season 12 | Episode 8

[@gabenguyen1216]

I went to Romania to ride the Transfagarasan Highway and swim in the Black Sea back in 2019. A beautiful country with good people.

[@motorcycleadventures]

Agree, it is a beautiful country!

[@mihaimihai9254]

Hi Pavlin! I hope you wont mind if I dare to add a few things to your splendid video.... The most important owner of this castle was Ioan Corvin/ Ioan de Hunedoara/Ioan Huniady. He was the ruler (voievod) of Transylvania and great military leader. He fought many wars against the Ottoman Empire. He died by plague in 1456 after a great victory against the turks in Belgrad. He is burried in Alba Iulia and on his grave is written "The world's light passed away". His son Mathias Corvin was one of the greatest Hungarian Kings. Thaknks again for making my country popular!

Great! Thanks for adding the info, Mihai!

[@joelguillois119]

Thank you Mihai for these informations, it's very interessant this lesson of history. I wish you are well. The situation of covid in France is more and more importante. Soon, the 3eme confinement for us. Pay attention to you and your family. Friendly. Joël from Châteauroux

@@joelguillois119 I remember you with a great pleasure, Sir! We have spoken in the last day of the last year and I've showed you how poor is my French -::))). Thank you for your care and nice words. Fortunately, we are fine. My old father, who's my biggest concern, got to recieve the first dose of vaccine and that gave us a little hope. I hope you and your family are fine too, Sir and I'm glad you were interested in what I added. Like I said to another forum frined, maybe we're gonna ride together someday. As long the riders are riding there is a chance for them to meet each other!

@@mihaimihai9254 Thank you for your nice comment. What brand of motocycle do you own ? I own a little honda Varadero 125cc, it's enough for me because i'm 60 years old and i don"t want now to pass an examen for a biggest bike. A lot of roads in France are limited maxi 80 or 90 km/hour, it's perfect. That bike is almost heavy than old 650cc but with less power. It's a good bike and i'm almost sure i could ride on long distances. I'm waiting for the end of the pandemic and the return of the sun. Bye.

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@joelguillois119 Hi! It doesn't matter what we ride as long as we enjoy our rides. A small Honda Cub was one of the funniest bikes I have ever ridden. I'm sure you can ride your Varadero on long trips, but pay attention ... If the French legislation allows you to ride a 125 cc motorcycle using the car driving license (B), in many eastern european countries A1 license is mandatory. I'm telling you all of these things becaause I realy want you to visit my country on two wheels without having any kind of trouble. I own a Honda NC 750 X and I'm very happy with it.... I'm planning to buy a Harley Softail, even though I know Pavlin wouldn't like this choise -:))). But, I'll always have an adv oriented motorcycle. Je vous souhaite un tres bon fin de semaine, monsieur!

Hi. Actually the castle is different because, even if it iwas built in the Dark Age a lot of restauration work was done durring the centuries. The last modification was made in XIX -th century.

How about bike safety there?. You left the bike unattended with bag and other stuff. I'm planning trip to Romania this summer combination of ride and castle sightseeing. Is it safe to leave bike for 3 hours unattended?

[@motorcycleadventures]

I left the bike in front of the guard on the bariere.

When was this recorded? If this is what late January in Romania is like, then I am very envious. Here in Northern Pennsylvania in the USA, I have -8 deg C. I am always watching the forecasts for a few warm days where it gets above freezing so I can get the bike out. This time of year I live vicariously through people like you that share your adventures with us. Thank you so much.

[@motorcycleadventures]

It was recorded in July.

Okay!

hello dear guest. we do share a lot in common with our neighbors indeed, i would say that our ancestors did appreciate beautiful or smart things (and we still do) so we celebrate them by using them day by day. clothing, food recipes, literature and so on ...it is good when people have no borders. i got one question. how did you protect the motorcycle luggage while you war visiting the castle? thank you. and if you ever are in need you have to know that you have a friend in Brasov.

04:33 you went by a similar plane in the previous episode. As clunky and clumsy as they may look these are the most remarkable aircraft ever built. It is the AN-2. A no stall speed aircraft!!! Able to take off and land from poor or non-existent runways... and with a headwind of 56Kph, it is able to fly backwards with 8kph in full control... I know, I know, one needs to know about aircraft to truly appreciate what I've just written. In analogy, it's like a motorcycle tyre being capable of both 100% off road and 100% street performance (sort to speak).

@@motorcycleadventures Im talking about what im seeing, but if you say im wrong good for you man.. i still find funny that all gypsyes are in Romania and none in Bulgaria in all your videos and travells lol

[@mihaimihai9254]

​@@ChRiS00107 Hi. When Pavlin have spoken for the first (and I think the last) time about this minority, he added that "everywhere is the same", including his country. As a romanian I don't feel offended at all by how he presents my country. What did he wrong, after all? There were some rroma houses on his way and he have spoted them without saying nothing bad about what he was filming. More than this, as far as I saw, he found this place interesting. On the other hand, we have to admit that Romania has one of the biggest rroma population in Europe and this kind of "towered" homes is one of those people's landmarks. I've seen almost all european states but I have never seen this type of buildings in other places. So Pavlin couldn't spot this architecture in Bugaria because it doesn't exist or, if it does, it is very rare in his country. Speaking about what's funny, do you know what's really funny? It's funny to see that a foreign traveller is visiting a country, he's doing his best in order to present the places and the people in a very beautiful way, a lot o foreign travellers are becoming interested in seeing Romania due to his video and, despite all of those good things, someone is starting to criticize him without any rational reason instead of appreciating what he does for promoting Romania. And the fact that the one who's scolding Pavlin is probably a romanian is the funniest thing in all this situation.

[@ChRiS00107]

@@mihaimihai9254 No, im not a romanian, but if you find that funny that im ''scolding'' him thats ok with me, i was expressing my opinion but i know many of his followers or personal helpers will defend what he says no matter what. I had many bulgarian, romanian, russian.. etc friends and from countries all over the world but for this particular conversation i think i know what you mean. The fact that hes promoting any particular country i dont see it that way, i see a man travelling somewhere and filming whatever he wants and sees.. if you find that as promoting your own country thats great man, it's your opinion.

[@mihaimihai9254]

@@ChRiS00107 With all due respect, but considering that you're not Romanian why don't you let romanians feel offended or not by how Pavling is presenting their country? I'm not a "personal helper" as you think I am. I'm just a rider who have learnt a lot from his videos and I think this man has always put a very important dose of common sense in every video he made. Regarding how he is promoting Romania, in my opinion people who come in my country and speak beautifuly about what they see and abot people they' ve met (Pavlin did it for a lot of times) are better promoters than those who are paid for such a job. The fact that a person who has travelled around the world says about Romania that it is a beautiful country and shares his experience with his followers is more than any official promotion. After all, Rromas are one of Romania's realities. Somtines they are picturesque, sometimes thet are annoying, sometimes they ar simply normal people. Nobody should feel offended when their homes ar spoted for a few seconds in a video.
