Does this modification require a remap?

Some very helpful advice, and will take these steps on board, top man cheers

Advice for the American planning out his first European trip? I want to see Bulgaria and Macedonia where yhe family originated from and ride the Transfagarasan Highway in Romania. I think i will take the Tenere 700 vs my MT-07 stunt bike with the full cage or one of if the sport bikes like the Ninja ZX6R. 😂

Baby steps from me, your life coach. Ride 500 miles on a 50cc scooter. Now when you are halfway into a big trip thinking oh this is terrible, remember the scooter and suddenly it’s not so bad.

You are right on prep on a trip is super important. Just did a ride from Tzaneen rsa to Cape Town via Port Elizabeth on my trusty Suzuki 650 vstrom. Bike no issues as usual, wind and cape weather, no rain, uncomfortable wind. American friend and fellow rider fantastic. Fun ride, no camping, expensive, it arrive we ll. Carried many tools used, but all well. I always carry xcessive tools as I am the best mechanic that I know. Pavlin you are beyond the best. Cheers from sunny South Africa, come and . Pepe

From South Africa, Pailin is spot on, I am 82 years old and live I beautiful South Africa,just had an American visit me who wanted to visit

You are always the best, cheers

72 Hp. My parents 1965 Vw bug had 45hp. Same as a 450 ATV.

Great vid lots of info thank you !!!

Don't forget to mention you need the right job or basically money to even do it. Motorcycle costs a lot of money (new) - you don't wanna travel on beaten up bike for 1000€. It's possible but the risk is huge. Gear costs a lot of money if you don't want to ride in tennis shoes and t-shirt (even the basic one). Good luggage systems are expensive. And the trip itself can be costly if you are traveling for a long time (depends on the country of course). Visas cost money, ferries, carnet de passage, bribes, fixers etc. Mistakes cost a lot of money. That's why Pavlin has a youtube channel :D

Take the time to work it out, but don’t stop to think and forget to start again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing!

You seriously talk too much comrade

.

We are very grateful! You enjoyed my country tour! Hope you will visit again ❤ thank you so much ❤

Great advice, Pavlin That‘s exactly how I started long-distance travels… start easy: practice in advance (day or two-day trips), increase stamina… then a weekend trip (400 km on the first day, tops)…. And so on and so forth… Increasing travel range and challenging road selections step by step. The only part I skipped entirely: Group travels… it’s just too tedious and dangerous (accordion effect), and to me tying yourself into a group is the antithesis to motorcycle ‚freedom‘ the way I like it.

You're not alone. In the U.S. northern snow belt, we have 2 seasons: winter, and pothole. . .

As usual great advice

What is your opinion on using Google Translate or similar apps? Are they usefuland accurate. Thanks

All good points. One needs some prep for certain. Work into it so it won't be a disaster possibly ending a motorcycle travel dream. Thanks Pavlin. I remember the thoughts and feelings I had when I started over 50 years ago. There were very limited sources of information available. At that time everybofy on a motorcycle was considered an outlaw. You couldn't get a room or even camp hardly anywhere. When the Honda Gold Wing came out it started to slowly change. It took years. All good. Take care

I would love to see a video on how you use your paper maps, how you mark them and what the markings mean, when you use them and when you dont

agree

Hi Pavlin, I started travelling in the mid 80’s to Europe but by 90’s I was bored of Spanish rave scene and had been watching adventure programmes eg Michael Pailin and Globe Trekker. This had me hooked off I went to far away lands with just a rucksack on my back. Now 30 years on I am away to start my journey again this time on two wheels instead of my feet. My point is, just get out there don’t let time pass you buy especially 30 years 🙄 like I have, we only have one crack at life

Boring!!!!!

Wow, a lot of good advice in 13+ minutes! "If you take information from wrong person, it will be wrong intel". You are definitely the RIGHT person. Thanks.

maine usa . a lil smaller than bulgaria

Maine , USA! 10,000 sq Mi smaller than Bulgaria🙈

You say short cuts don't exist ??! - Of-course they DO : Grab you favorite drink, and watch the videos of the favorite bike-travelers ☝☝😀

ty

I put 150'000km on a 2008 klr before retiring it from regular duty in 2017. I started out slowly, and developed a tool kit ect by doing maintenance/repair with only what i was carrying on the bike.

If you are blindfolded by your ego,Pavlin could help to get rid of it and take you down with your feet on the earth if you listen enough. Greetings from Transylvania from an old follower.

Amazing channel Pavlin! Thanks so much for all the advice. I will buy a motorcycle in 3 months from now and I'm 28 years old. At the moment I ride sometimes my father's Yamaha xMax 250 scooter in the village, but that's it. I love long rides and the road and I'm so looking forward to it :D Thanks again!

Great advice. Thanks Pavlin. I have only done 3 trips so far. All in South Africa. First trip was a 8 day camping trip with visiting family in between. Prefer to stick with camping due to budget. Next longer trip will hopefully include a neighbor country. Namibia or Botswana. FYI _ my bike is a 2015 KTM duke 390. On average I do about 350km per day when on trips. Keep the videos coming. Cheers

Dark side???? I run a car tire!!!!!!! Ha!!!

first motorcycle ling distance camping trip was a mess, ever though I had been on many camping trips. I should just taken a short local camping trip. Now I go out on month long camping trips with better plans and shorter days.

I like how you called Bulgaria a small country. Everything in this life is relative.

I'm definitely a 'dip your toe in first' person. I did meet one guy who had more money than time. He bought a GS and headed for the next country over. He had a couple of get-off's, but said he was having a great time. Most people I've met have some experience in their own region before travelling their bike.

Solid advice. Would be ideal for a new rider to learn how to do basic maintenance and repair flat tyres. Maybe that's not a big problem in Europe but here in South Africa it is essential.

I agree that big engine is not helpful, but my question is something else. For a world trip, how small engine is the minimum that it's brtter to go for?

Experience teaches. I am learning that as I am now in my 60's I need more breaks, especially with her ladyship on the back. The mind is willing but the body protests more often. This is life. 'Know your limits.' Ride safe 👍

Thanks for useful information. I am a beginner as a motorcycle traveler. By the way...if you're coming in north part of Romania and you need a place to sleep, a hot meal, a hot shower and garage for motorcycle,just let me know. It's free!

so gut, also ich bin Anfänger. und hab keine Erfahrung. also ich geh einfach und mach meine eigenen Erfahrungen ,weil....jedes mal kommt es anders raus wie beim ersten mal. einmal ist gut einmal schei...s..se.also hilft mir eigentlich Typ,'s. .! nichts. bin auch schon um die Welt gekommen mit dem Döffli ,mal so mal so . aber jedes mal war es toll...aber auch nicht so. also es gibt kein Leitfaden.darum selber austesten und nicht auf andere hören. weil jeder macht andere Erfahrungen. ( Geld verdienen mit RUclips ist eh scheisse) ,🥳🥸

Begin with one change of clothes, soap, towel toothbrush/paste for one overnight trip, should be less than 3kg, begin there.

yo, interesting travel,Motorcycle.

I cannot change out my 9 - 5 at the moment, so i travel around my country on the weekends - also i struggle to do 400 Km per day, and I think that is just practise. I am building experience as i go. Also remember, its supposed to be fun!

Always learn something by watching your videos

Our only difficulty is the 9:00 to 18:00 jobs and 20 days per year holidays

Great

By far the best modification I did was 16 front sprocket. It drops rpm by 500 for same speed, and I can still ride technical terrain in 2nd gear.

did he say he started to travel in 1999 on a bike from 2009? wow he has a flux capacitor on his bike!
