I think the best memories are of people and unexpected meetings. This summer on a 6,oookm round trip from UK to my son in Bulgaria via Czech Republic Romania and home via Serbia a key memory is of the young man at a motorway toll booth in Serbia. My phone stopped working and he worked so hard to help me. You then realise, the world is full of great people. Just get on your bike and meet them.

Is kindness from a stranger limited to only people who are "real" adventurers? Riders with expensive BMWs do not deserve and do not receive such roadside kindness? See my point? peace.

I started out thinking the same, need big/expensive/techno loaded bike and now I have evolved (back) to a KLR, and couldn’t be happier. Last summer I rolled 28000 miles (46000km) on a bike with no anti lock brakes (😳😳) … “It only takes 12.5 hp to circumnavigate the planet, the rest is wheel spin” Take care my friend!

Yep, there was a moment when I was being told many times that if I want to travel, I better get BMW 1200 GS or Ducati Multistrada or something similar, with at least 1000cm3. Turned out, I don't. Got around a few places with 750 and no, didn't need more power.

Hi, Pavlin! Great video! I have had a number of different bikes - different sizes and types. I've had cruisers, sport bikes, sport touring bikes with big engines, lots of power, lots of extras. I've travelled around Europe and some have been better than others. Now that I have some experience, and probably some wisdom, I got rid of all the fancy bikes and I left in my garage only one - the cheapest, the slowest and simplest bike. It's a reliable machine that has never let me down, it's easy to repair and is very economical. Most of my friends tried to tell me what a terrible mistake I have made, that I should have left the biggest bike in the garage. They tried to convince me that this bike was not good for travelling - well, I took it from London to Scotland and back with no problems. And I had a great time. People forget the fact that the journey is more important than the destination.

Advertising has taken over the motorcycle world, especially the enduro bike industry, it's incredible, you need this, you need that, don't forget this. I have an old 2002 1150 GSA, an aussie bike I shipped over and it does everything I need, plus remember keep the gear to a minimum, and at the end of the day it's all about the people you meet whilst on the road.

I’d love to have the full suite of Klim, Giant Loop, or Mosko Moto gear and have bought some pieces on sale but just cannot justify paying full sticker. No judgement to those that can and do, but I’m happy with my choices and enjoy my rides that much more when I feel I’m getting good value……a very subjective statement I know!

All the gadgets are topics of conversation between the proud owners, while none of them need any of this. Unnecessary problems with electric fuel caps that refuse to open and new motorcycles that won't start. Keep it simple, stay happy.

I can easily don700 km in a day without being a wreck at the end of the day. My personal belief is first, be safe, comfortable. And ride my own style. Over 45,000 km in two summers and just getting the hang of it. Be safe and enjoy

Hey Pavlin! I just wanted to say thanks for this - and all, really - video. I remember once, in a fb moto group that I participate, we got notified that a lady motorcyclist from abroad had visited Athens and she wanted to meet with the group to say hi. So we met her that evening. She was a Malaysian lady, around 50-55, thin and short, with her glasses and headscarf (muslim), on an old CBF125, coming all the way from Malaysia, on her way to Portugal. I don't know, 15000 km? On a CBF125. She had 2 backpacks. We drank some beers, she drank some apple juice or something like that, she bid us good night at 9 in the evening and left for her hotel. She didn't say much, but you could see it in her eyes, that she had seen the world. It has been more than 10 years since, and I am still jealous of her guts.

I JUST JOINED AS A MEMBER TODAY 11/12/23 ! I'VE WATCHED YOU BEFORE & subscribed sometime ago. But today watching this video made me realise I'd like to get more from the great content you offer. I don't ride an adventure bike, but as you said, just get out and ride on an adventure. I just semi-retired a Kawasaki GTR1400 at over 300,000km's. I'm now moving on to my next level of open road adventure here in Australia on a new bike. Retirement is wonderfull and fortunately I can ride whenever i like. Your attitude of just getting out on whatever you have & giving it a go is so true & hit a cord with my beliefs of riding! And oh yes you are correct you don't need all the trappings, hundred's of $ of gear that some would insist you must have, to have an adventure and a good time. I will be watching & rewatching your videos & waiting for the new stuff eagerly.

You have not yet disappointed me. I really appreciate your very realistic and mature approach to all themes you address. In modern societies, people are too attached to comfort and insecure. People in the past, and today in poor countries, were/are much more versatile. Today, folks want "hotel amenities and services" in anything they do. Check how young couples go out now w/ babies and how that used to be done in the past. 🙂 I am guilty as well. In terms of real adventures, folks should remember the simpler their gear is the less prone to failures they will be as well. Hence, the chances of really having and enjoying the adventure will be higher.

Great summary of the topic Pavlin. 👍 In the last few days I have come across some interesting things, one was a post on Facebook from some guy doing a report on the new GS 1300, the one thing that stood out was he mentioned about the adaptive cruise control, he said it came in handy when scrolling through the menu on the TFT screen when you were changing the settings on the move, it was hard to look at the screen and the road at the same time, the adaptive cruise control slowed the bike down for you ? Safety features ? The second was a English couple touring through Italy on Africa twins, one got a puncture on a motorway and ended up being towed, then complained about the cost, worst part was they had no tools to repair a puncture, no way to undo the rear axle, no tyre levers, no spare tube and no pump, preparation ? This guy also complained about the food in Italy and the cost of the toll roads, I think he, like many live under the misconception that the world is just like home, and no idea that the world is not the same, that is why we travel and have a certain degree of preparedness. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I would personally never ride to Magadan - travelled to lots of rough places for work and feel like I’ve had enough. A nice simple arancini somewhere in rural Italy, please. The point being, there is a destination for everyone, just got to find it and ride there with the bike you have, not the one they want you to buy.
