The road to no man's land - Day 1
In this series we travel to a country that many say doesn't exist, Transnistria. The first day takes us through the east of Romania and the edge of the Danube delta then up to Ukraine for a quick night stint and into Moldova as we end the day in Vulcanesti 14 hours after we set of from Bucharest

The smaller the machine, the bigger the adventure! Thank you for showing how capable small scooters are:)

[@robinwells8879]

You’re quite right about the sense of adventure and freedom being heightened by setting out on a small capacity bike. Another fine adventure fit for a Norse Saga. Repeatedly blown away by your fantastic mastery of the English language. Better than many of the natives.👍

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you

[@MrRatchaphruek]

Another great adventure for Donny and his sidekick 💀 Great video Alex 🙏🇹🇭

[@fokinellmate7468]

Faina tura 👌

[@adriangabrieldumitriu2141]

Hi Alex, Once again, you’ve created a fantastic touring video that blends adventure with captivating landscapes and excellent content! Watching your Day 1 trip put me in a holiday mood 😂 and reminded me how fortunate we are to live in a peaceful part of the EU. I’m eagerly looking forward to your next videos and the rest of your journey. From my perspective, Tiraspol still feels like a Soviet island, almost like stepping into a time machine! Best regards for you and for all your subscribers !

[@RideWithAlex]

Tiraspol is very interesting, a time capsule from the Soviet era but also with a lot of modern 21st century western influences. They both live together in harmony in one single city. It absolutely captivated me and I want to revisit the city again and stay a few days to really get to understand it.

[@lukaszperun3079]

What a lovely trip 👍

[@bucharestbiketraffic]

SYM NHT 200 would have been a better bike for this trip.

[@RideWithAlex]

For the first time in your life you are actually right about something

[@morkovetz]

I enjoyed the night time riding!

[@RideWithAlex]

It was interesting, defenetly kept me on my toes 😂

[@1zanglang]

Interesant. Eu aș fi evitat Ucraina. De la Tulcea puteați merge la Smârdan, să treceți pe noul pod, apoi Galați și treceați în Basarabia pe la Giurgiulești. Eventual, dormeați în Galați. Oricum, bine că ați "răzbit".

[@RideWithAlex]

Asa au zis și vamesi 😂😂😂 Dar noi nu... Nu glumesc când zic Dumb and Dumber 🤣

That speedo on SYM is very optimistic.. 😂

[@RideWithAlex]

Shows 10% over like all modern motorcycles.

[@zugravalex4725]

daca as fi stiu iti gaseam cazare buna si iti aratam si drumurile mai ok :) btw - Vulcanesti-comrat-chisinau-bender - drumul e ok, pentru intoarcere recomand chisinau-albita sau chisinau -sculeni(iasi)

[@RideWithAlex]

I can tick off the list "war zone" 😂😂

[@pimpextreme]

Have you ever taught about putting a Big Block Kit to enhance performance on Donnie?

[@RideWithAlex]

No, I need reliability for long trips not an extra 10km/h with the possibility of being stranded 1000km away from home.

[@lexxygee_]

What time does it get dark? Here in my country it starting to get dark from 6:30pm

[@RideWithAlex]

9 pm

[@alimehdiezt5463]

Hello dear Alex, i'm following your chanel from Morocco since a few days ago and i'm actually interested by buying a brand new Sym Symphony st200. I heard from a friend here in Morocco that this scooter have some electrical issues due to the bad quality of wirings. Did you actually find some similar issues ? Thanks a lot !

[@RideWithAlex]

I've had no issues with mine since I got it.

[@alimehdiezt5463]

@@RideWithAlex thank you so much for your answer, appreciate it. Actually I'm waiting for my bike's delivery on thursday and your videos helped me so much to choose.

[@sniperule2004]

A trecut legea cu filmarile din trafic! Cred ca poti trimite filmarea la politie! De la DAlga se poat ajunge foarte repede pe camp catre slobozia pe niste drumuri agricole mirifice (MULTE ASFALTATE). Se poate iesi catre Borduselu Albesti socoale. Ulterior se poate traversa un pod de vase peste ialomita (si pe acolo puteti parcurge culoarul Ialomitei) si ajugeti la Misleanu!

Salut, cred ca ar trebui sa vb in limba romană . Ar putea sa fie un câștig in vizualizări . Sunt mulți români ce nu înțeleg limba engleză și având in vedere ca nu prezinți de regula Hayabusa , S1000 rr și restul similare, 😂😂😂 cu 299 pe autostrada și canion chasing😂, mulți prefera sa se uite la altceva. Sper sa nu fie cu supărare ! Cu respect!

[@RideWithAlex]

Salut, daca incep sa vorbesc in limba romana imi vor scadea vizualizariile cu 95%. Publicul meu este predominant international de aceea nu voi schimba, am inceput in acest mod, mi-am creat acest public asa merg mai departe. Nu este de loc cu suparare dar nu voi schimba :)

[@bobitamomita7317]

E interesant cum faci echipa cu Marius, văzând cat de agresiv e in trafic si in idei/exprimare. Tu esti ala cerebral

We don't have it here

[@user-ot4ld6nd8j]

It's just released at Malaysia and Thailand(GPX Tuscany)

[@amdesigner-ai]

How many kilometers did you drive in one day ?

[@RideWithAlex]

This day was 450km, not much because we stopped a lot

[@amdesigner-ai]

@@RideWithAlex I have a question please. What is the difference between air cooled st 200i and liquid cooled st 125i. It is best for long and city travel.? Thank you ✌️

[@amdesigner-ai]

؟

[@RideWithAlex]

@@amdesigner-ai both ar just as good for long distance travel, both engines have adequate cooling. The difference is the liquid cooled one will be more fuel efficient.

[@links7622]

The roads look pretty dark at night in Ukraine. Do you think they deliberately left out the streetlights to prevent the Russians from target bombing?

[@RideWithAlex]

I have no ideea, we weren't in any city or village so it's no surprise there were no street lights

[@links7622]

@@RideWithAlex I see. Great vid btw. I truly admire ur sense of adventure.

[@andreyn.yurikov7642]

Could you please take Honda Forza 350 2024 for the test? If you will be able to compare it with Honda PCX160, it will be really brilliant. I can explain why my advise is little bit strange: Nobody compare such bikes between, but several bloggers said that they are really similar and there is no reason to buy Forza. So, in view of the fact that you are really “non-commercial” blogger, your comparison will close this topic. You can compare it in the city and for touristic application also.

[@RideWithAlex]

They are not similar at all a 125-160cc scooter will never hold a candle to a 300+cc scooter. Check on my channel my review of the Zontes 125M where I also compare it to it's 300cc brother.

[@andreyn.yurikov7642]

@@RideWithAlex, will do - Thank you. Anyway, if you will have a chance to compare it, it will be really valued.

[@GeorgeBuzi]

Crossing the border through Isaccea after dark is pretty dangerous... it would've been better if you planned the trip so that you would have traveled through Ukraine in day time! I guess you wouldn't wanna bump into smth like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqud52qmcl0hJY

Thankfully we had none of that :)
