@@motorcycleadventures Now I have watched it all. Very good! You are constantely improving. Both as a storyteller and as a cameraman. Storytelling is important, it catches the imagination of the viewer. From now on, if you post a travelvideo. I will watch it on the tv, not the phone. The tv will do the pictures more justice. If you ever want to come on a trip to sweden, contact me! We live in the south, and you are welcome to stay. By the way, Im getting my new Tenere on friday the 15. Your videos have been very hepful! I have added some stuff to it, but without you I would have spent a lot more money for no reason.

Thank you so much for documenting and sharing your trip. I follow you and itchy boots for your personal, exploring, and honest approach to travel on motorbikes. I have the 300 Rally and long for a T7. You have taught me much about what I might need to explore withOUT modifying the bike too much and keeping luggage realistic and slimmed down.

Very nice Video. I have also been in Koprivshtitsa many years ago with my wife. Very beautiful ancient town. It is also very interesting to hear about your doubts in the beginning of your journeys. I have those doubts also in the beginning of my journeys and always thought it was because I dont travel that much and also not that long journeys. I didn't expect that an experienced traveler like you would still feel that way. Thanks for your videos and your thougts.

I'm not as long a traveler as you, but ona beginning on my new tri p I have the same doubts as you. In a matter of your films, I think I've seen almost all of them, and you improved your skills in recording. It's what I love........ not boring movie with only roads or some very smart disputes........ there is road, people, talks, views.......... everything in a good proportions. For me your movies are better than some TV series and I'm waiting for it as for some big movie premiere 😁 Love this..... keep doing..... we will be in touch 👍👍👍❤️

Maiden voyage on your T7 : nice kick-off. I have made my maiden trip on the XT660Z in the same period from NL to France. A good start is essential: I learned that 500 k a day is maximum to remain enjoyable. Pushing to 600 k or more is No more fun for me despite a good ADV bike. Meeting nice people is indeed the essence of motorcycling and travelling alone allows that which I rediscovered last month too. Looking forward to more and I have become inspired by your beautiful backgarden😉

Pavlin, you are so lucky starting from Bulgaria.I have an Xt660z, just back from a ride London-Hook_Berlin-Gdansk-Helsinki-Norkapp-Denmark-Home. Rode 3000/5000 what I thought bad cold but tested when home. Covid! Really hard to do last couple days felt so ill! Anyway the bike went well, apart from loose clutch nut overheated cover and cooked gasket, lost oil; Yamaha Berlin helped straight away, I lost 800 cc oil but engine was OK. Lucky I discovered last stretch into Berlin. So, I hope you have a lovely ride mate, the weather looks awesome! Cheers, James T

Hey Pavlin, how much is Bulgaria dangerous regarding theft of gear/bike? I heard it from guy in Romania to not go to Bulgaria as it's too dangerous, they will steal your bike/car/stuff almost immediately. But frankly Romania people seemed very limited in experience imho.
