[@alyoka.travels]

Oh yes, Nate is a great rider and an awesome companion 🤩 Thank you!

[@comandoreci]

Bem legal a aventura, eu curto demais esse tipo passeio.

[@alyoka.travels]

The beauty of motorcycle travel lies in the diversity - sometimes it’s gorgeous views, sometimes a pretty town, sometimes a challenging trail and sometimes the people you meet along the way. Altogether it makes for a perfect adventure 🤩

Wow!! That was a really rough road... a real challenge. Fascinating, nevertheless 😅😅😅

Yeah, I'm glad I had my friend with me 😅

Ага, и на самом деле ехать быстрее было бы проще. Но пчелиный клиренс и подвеска не позволяют ехать быстро в таких условиях 🫣😅 Там полуметровая колея, ямы, корни, камни и кочки 🤣🤣🤣 хорошо, что хоть сухо было 🤣🤣🤣

Hey I knooooow that guy 🤣 Great ride! Glad we got to meet up in real life fiiiiinally 🎉🎉🎉

[@alyoka.travels]

I'm so happy we got to not only meet up but also ride together! Awesome day! 🤩

[@kinesssa]

Да, ребятки, придумали вы себе маршрут, даже смотреть ваши приключения жутко, а каково вам и вашим машинам! Бедная Пчелка, как ты это выдержала? Хорошо, что вы были вдвоем! А вообще, вы - герои! Это было 👍

[@alyoka.travels]

Пчелику досталось, конечно 🫣 но он - герой! Справился со всеми препятствиями)))) классный маршрут в лучшей компании!

With all the negativity about Russia these days, you are showing us a much more positive side of your country in your videos, great job !!

[@alyoka.travels]

Thank you! I’m very happy to hear that! 💛

[@timinno]

There’s a lot of negativity around Russia at the moment for good reason.

[@dougsrepair1060]

Aleona. Single track, I’d say you’re a natural.

[@alyoka.travels]

I’d love to do the same trail on a different motorcycle and feel the difference 😅 maybe I’m complaining for no reason and Bee is the best fit for this terrain 😄😄

[@dougsrepair1060]

@@alyoka.travels Your Bee might not be the perfect bike for off asphalt riding, but your skill and abilities to pick the right line and deal with the terrain are top shelf, in my opinion.

[@alyoka.travels]

Thank you! Slowly making my way to the 10,000 hours and expecting to be an expert by then 😅😄 according to my modest calculations I’ve done around 2-3k hours by now, so there’s still a long way 😁

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

Afraid of nothing...Just done with an old 600 Hornet, an almost vintage sport bike. Bravo Aleona.

[@alyoka.travels]

It wasn’t quite easy but we did it 😄😁🔥 I was a bit jealous looking at how agile Nate’s bike looked doing the same trail 😄 or he’s just a much better rider than me 🫣☺️

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

@@alyoka.travels It's simply that a GT-Sport bike is not made for dirt roads, so I admire that you're able to ride it without great difficulty...With a CF Moto 450 MT, with 200 mm fully adjustable suspensions, and a sweet twin engine the same track would be a breeze. The 450 MT is the bang for the buck in small "adventure" bikes.

[@alyoka.travels]

I’m curious to see how it performs over time 😊

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

@@alyoka.travels I'm confident about the reliability. The 450 MT is well built, the engine is a twin 270 degrees detuned to get only 44 hp and a very nice torque curve and has very good tunable suspensions. The equipment is fabulous. For an easy to ride adventure bike the 450 MT is a very good one at 6500€ in Europe. I almost forgot, the MT has one of the most comfortable seats in the market.

[@alyoka.travels]

Sounds pretty awesome, will see if I can get one for a test ride next time in Russia 🤩

[@MichaelKapsner]

It tickles me that you don't let a rough road/trail dissuade you! It really goes to show that much more is possible than some consider. Say, doe Bee have ABS? I was out this weekend and had a rather scary moment downhill on rough rocky terrain when the ABS kicked in - couldn't stop!!! Not the first time, but this was steeper than 'normal', managed to apply just enough front to regain control, but it was a little sketchy. I need to see if it's possible to turn it off. Also wonder about the uphills. When I first got my bike one of the characteristics I noticed was a pronounced tall 1st gear. Not at all fun on a tight steep uphill rocky switchback! Any street bike kinda has that problem, but some more than others. Would you say the Bee has a tall 1st?

[@alyoka.travels]

Bee has a combined ABS which can’t be turned off (unless I take out the fuse) but luckily his 1st gear is not tall. Actually Cherry has a much taller 1st gear and it has caused me quite a bit of fear on steep downhills even with the ABS turned off 🫣 If Bee only had a bit more ground clearance, better suspension travel and more off-road suitable wheels, he’d be an adventure beast 😅

[@MichaelKapsner]

@@alyoka.travels Well, I suppose all of Bee's problems could be resolved with a few new choice parts? 😂 Funny, I initially picked the same emoticon. Had to edit my response to change it up! ; -).

[@alyoka.travels]

Hahaha or maybe I should just stop torturing the Bee and let him ride happily on the paved roads 🫣🤣

[@novreis1952]

Quite adventurous and beautiful Park Above all, it's nice to know there are Americans who want to invade Russia peacefully. Thumbs-up for Nate

[@alyoka.travels]

Nate is one of the many wonderful Americans I know. Governments want us to hate each other (divide and conquer) but we’re smarter than that. People will always be people, some bad but mostly good, no matter which nationality 💛

[@novreis1952]

@@alyoka.travels , I love your optimism, but people more and more are brainwashed. We already talked about that. Why suddenly, you lost followers when you decided the trip inside Russia? Of course there are wonderful Americans, but most do not have sympathy for Russia (like here in Portugal). If you are permanently listening that Russia is bad, the not informed people will believe at all lies that are spread. Most of what you call "people", since a long time ago,they lost their critical sense. And this, for me, is too sad. Even in my close family it happens. But yes, I follow wonderful and highly informed Americans, but, unfortunately , they are a very, very small minority. Note - as I said , it happens also in Europe, but at a less scale.

[@alyoka.travels]

I believe in people, and I believe in reciprocity 💛

[@creedm3040]

@@novreis1952 I would not say very very small minority. Best!

[@novreis1952]

@@alyoka.travels , it is difficult to comment on this. Perhaps we are talking about different levels. Do you think we live in a balanced world? Where reciprocity is the norm? Even speaking about individuals, a lot of times there is no reciprocity, unless we avoid themes like politics or religions (when we find fanatics) and other "divisional" (??) themes. Of course we can live on a common basis (is what I do with my friends who don't go to the roots of the issues. The lack of critical sense!!!). We talk about Rugby (the sport we played when we were young, an excellent school of comradeship), or Football , or Tennis and other innocuous themes. I am lucky because my "friends" like me in spite of my superior culture and intelligence🤣🤣😘 Someone who thinks "out of the box",🤣🤣🤣 If you are stuck at motorcycle riders (a tribe 😁) , it is easy to have reciprocity (in spite of some look or act like Nazis in a country I know). I think you know well what is believing, and some time after people show their true character. Having said this, yes, it is quite good you think that way, despite some one or two bad experiences. It shows you are strong 💪and that 💛 reciprocity is attainable. I wish you luck
