Basic rule about tents from a German perspective. If you ride north,west or south, take a tent with you. If you travel east, leave the tents at home, because you can usually find hotel for 15-20€s a night. When campgrounds are 6-10€s, even in Poland and cheap hotels are 15-25€s, the price difference is just negligible. In contrast if you are in France in the summer and hotels cost 70-120€s, a campground for 10€s is a much more sensible option if you don´t have unlimited money
@@Knakkerman- they have police walking every square foot of wooded area's every evening? i have no problem breaking silly laws like this.. we as a species used to exclusively live in the woods in basically tents and shacks living off the land hunter gatherer bla bla bla.. now its illegal to even spend a night in a tent in government owned wooded area's? absurd.. what possible reason can they give "oh its for your safety" no ones asking for it to be safe or anyone to be responsible for you.. were all big boys and responsible for our own decisions and circumstances...
I must say, this is one of the few videos I found so far that are really helpful and contain so many good tips. Everyone likes different things, but this video is about how to travel cheap. Thanks for all the tips. New maybe you should make a video "How to travel expensive", so everybody is happy.
Really usefull tips, Pavlin. And something to consider is the fact that being about 15€ the price of some campings, 30€ the price of some hotels/hostels, and about 100€ the minimum camping equipment...you can sleep very comfortable in hostels/hotels and without carryin a lot of camping luggaje a lot of days with the same money. And I assure you that trying to mount a tent in the rain is a really upsetting thing. I discovered ferrys and are a great way to reach places for cheap. You save a lot of time, petrol, food and bed. Remember always to take some food to the ferry. Food can ve really expensive there! Keep on the good work, Pavlin!
I’ll be doing my big trip to Mongolia on a Yamaha XT660R, purely as it was cheap and I know it is a reliable engine. The colour is black and looks nothing in a crowd. Truth be known I’d love a better bike but I feel it’s a good option. I have spent a few £’s on it, but I’ll sell all the none standard stuff when I return. I think your videos are absolutely brilliant, which I feel are fair and true. You seem to give advice that’s for all not just the BMW loads of money brigade. Thanks
I love your suggestions and tips. I had forgotten that travelling is about the trip and not the bike. Thanks for helping me to re-focus my attention to what is important. Also I agree 100% with your "keep smiling" approach to travel, it really does make a difference.
Your videos always prove me that I did the best choice buying my Suzuki GN125. In my opinion, it's one of the most affordable, reliable and light bikes if you don't mind riding an 125cc.
I love your views. I have a 220cc motorcycle but it is very reliable. The spare parts are quite rare but I do know somebody who sells them, so I buy all spare parts and store them at home. Also, I agree with planning ahead. I planned my first ever long ride (12-hour ride) for 4 months. I got my bike and myself ready for it.
I like most of your videos, I agree on most of what you say, although I already knew it all due to my long trips lived experience on the roads alone since I was 20 years old. I admire the fact that you're honest and that you like to share your road riding experience and whatever it may concern but especially the down to earth humor that comes with it, you remind me a good old friend of mine from Bulgaria whose name is Niko, I wonder where the heck he is right now.. On the other hand, I can't say the same for your motorcycles reviews though, since saying..It's great and nice doesn't do justice to the in depth technical aspect of a Motorcycle.. I have been riding any sorts of motorcycles ( I mean any sort of motorcycles ! ) And scooters as from the age of 14 regardless of the weather. Unfortunately, I can't share any of it since I seem to be destined to ride always alone, I must emphasize that I don't like to ride with a group of bikers ..I'm fine to travel alone also because if you wait for others to join you, you may hardly ever reach your goals in life. Don't think about it too much, just do it! Get out there and discover your inner self immersed in the nature and the elements, everything is alive and interconnected so whenever you feel scared, stop the bike and become acquainted with the surrounding nature and even talk to it and to yourself, sleep outdoors get that courage back and carry on son ! As an endurance solo rider, yes ' Solo ' rider because it's also difficult to find a good mate to ride with due to the time and the money that a long motorcycle trip involves, depending on your destination naturally. I would strongly suggest to keep yourself light, fit and fast ( My cruising speed has always been within the region of 140 to 160 kph where allowed as it can get boring at much lower speed especially on your own) If you're on a budget, avoid motorways ( if you can..) Avoid expensive ferries, I personally don't see the need to go to any European northern rainy and depressing countries, apart from this stop by a local market instead of a wasting your time and money in a Supermarket.. Hence, try no to eat too much and especially no dead meats of any kinds which will only harm your body, no salty foods and definitely no sugary drinks, like fruit juices or whatever drink that may contain excessive sugar or salt, eat real fruits instead and bring along with you any kind of nuts and dried fruits, no alcohol and NO DRUGS ever ! Most importantly, get to know your motorcycle, learn how to fix it yourself, learn to speak at least 3 or more languages including English naturally ! Learn to do minor repairs at least as far as the exterior of the bike is concerned, like replacing the oil, filter and or repairing a flat tire or else then be a good observant, be vigilant and always alert..! Take your due rest time and do it all over again tomorrow :) I hope I can be out there again soon, in the meantime, I can only wish you guys happy trails !
Motorcycle Adventures I will say that the best bikes for tavel are the one that never brake down on you.. and europeen bikes do not have the statistics on their side l belive. Bing a tent if you go to Norway...hotells are extreem expensive during the summer time..and dont shop on gas stations... Good video again..thanks
If your coming back to eastern England on your trip, make sure you ride the Yorkshire dales (butter tub pass) plus the Yorkshire moors. You'll have to trust me it's stunning roads. Some fantastic advice as usual.
It is located down in the South West Ireland. I am not going that far. I would love to, but I cannot have everything at the same time. Good reason to go again!
I love these advice videos -- I'll watch them all no matter how much you repeat some of the advice from previous videos - there's always good nuggets in there. I like the advice here about tires - on my recent trip to Death Valley California ~2300 miles - I didn't check my tire pressure until about half way and my rear tire is now severely cupped (!) -- what a dumb mistake. Also, I learned from the trip that taking hard bags onto gravel roads is a no-no -- if you fall (like I did, at a low speed) they can break easily, for example the latch!. thankfully I brought a full role of duck tape. Speaking about long trips and off road - would love to hear more advice and stories about riding off-pavement on this channel - not extreme riding - just gravel, sand, forest roads and what experience you had and how you prepared for the next off-road adventure. cheers!
I am glad that you found the channel useful, this was the original idea. You learned a lot of things the hard way, but... Nice video idea. I will make it when I get back.
My wife and I are heading to California and BC from Pennsylvania 2 up on the multistrada in August! For the second time in 4 years !! Take her with you !! 😎😎😎😎😄😄
Great advice and a very useful summary. Thank you Pavlin. It's good to be reminded that a great adventure isn't only available to big spenders. In the preparation and planning stage, it would also be a good idea to learn how your bike works and to practise doing basic repair and maintenance. All good 👍
I like to test the water a bit. I took a relatively low km old used bike a couple of borders away to a country that developed differently than my own. It can really reinforce things you have heard or read.
I'm glad I met you on youtube. Some of your tips I already implemented by myself but all the rest will help in planning the future tours. Thanks a lot ;-)
Great video and great questions and answers like always .On where to sleep you could say ask people on the road if they can give you a place to sleep for free.This helps alot on a World trip .
Pavlin, I have been thinking of you wanting to replace your motor, If your current motor has no problems but has a lot of milage, just keep riding it and monitor the oil quality, you can send a sample of the oil away and get it tested for any engine issues, if the gearbox is changing OK then why replace the motor? Buy a good 2nd hand one and keep it as a spare at home, if you need it on a trip get one of your mates to ship it to you, then change it. There tenere motor is over engineered and under powered for a 660, thus it should last much linger than 130,000km, I have seen the way you ride, and you never rev the engine hard. Just to remember to check the hub drive sprocket bearings as they get a hard time, and change the oil and filters more often than the 10,000km service interval. With the fuel injection buy a new injector or get the old one cleaned, EFI systems are very reliable now days. Check your throttle cables too see if they are still in good condition.
Fantastic review Pavlin! This couldn't have come at a better timing as im currently organising my motorcycle luggage for my trip to the Balkans - just got a new tent too .. only 1.2Kg! Thank you for your tips my friend and enjoy your trip in Western Europe 👍🏻 I look forward to seeing your videos when I come back!
Very good.i think oil can last longer than the company's said, also good advice about stoping before sunset. And a lot of little great things that made big differences.
If you can avoid toll roads do so. Not much adventure or interest to be found on them. As well as the money saving. Eat in non tourist areas in cities, not where the rest of tourists do. Buy half pints not full pints of beer, but make sure you have a well deserved one at the end of the day. Happy travels
Great information again ... very helpful tips ... but where can I get a snap tent like you have? I have snapped my fingers many times and nothing happens with my tents.
Love your channel .... Love your presentation brother ... All is troooooo and sweet .... U R a good teacher . .........lots of love from south india . God willing I want to meet you Brother . Cheers till thn... Chal👍👍👍👍 👍👍👍👍.....
As you said pavlin, it's horse's for courses we're bikes are concerned.on our trip this summer, we're not taking a ferry to England then France. straight to France from cork. If you're stuck on your Irish trip,then myself and many others will be there to help 👍👍
Heading to Milan soon after a couple of day's trip through the Alps. I found out, that Hostels are even in a shared room more expensive than certain hotels. lol As we are couch surfers, we usually use that as staying overnight and meeting great people. But Milan is pretty difficult.
You are right. In one moment I wondered what is the sense to travel buying food in supermarkets instead eating local food what is also very important attraction. On the other side when you do not have money it is always better to buy food in supermarket and travel than to stay at home due to lack of money for trip. And this is movie "How to travel cheap", not "How to fully enjoy the trip".
I love long trips, expensive bikes are out of my reach, yet I found long motorcycle trips affordable. First contact with different people around the world, different cultures and beautiful views that you can enjoy are far more better than airplane trips. Bike can go where cars cannot so that is a bonus as well. Bike do not have to be new or expensive, it must be luxury for the rider and in great (sound) mechanical condition of the bike. I am running old Yamaha XJ600S Diversion and I am happy with this bike. It is modified to suit my needs but is also reliable, cheap and easy to maintain.
Good advice as usual,i would like to ride a 600 but i can't with my girlfriend on the back and the camping gear for 2,clothes for 2,food....etc,a 600 would be too overloaded,for one person is great tho
Planned to travel by my bike to Hungary. Even I was born in Germany and live in Romania as a Turkish citizen heard that need visa for Schengen countries. So I went to Hungary embassy. Impossible that I can get visa. They asked for all countries that I will travel real hotel reservation and last 3 months salary transaction bank account. I don't have those because I quit job. So the biggest issue is unfortunately visa. Thank you for all your cool advises. I wish one day we will meet somewhere on the road Pavel.
Pavlin you know that you add 600 km to Cherbourg ferry.Much closer to Calais.Ferry takes long time,18 hours I think.I did that on my bike last June.for such a long journey you want a cabin to sleep which cost another 70 euro.Maybe better to ride to Liverpool and take boat to Isle of Man,You will save a lot of time
The main reason I am going to France is because I want to ride Sommeiller and see Omaha Beach. Actually I will take it from Roscoff. From Cherbourg they have line on Sunday. I will not take cabin, it cost me 73 euro.
Motorcycle Adventures You will arrive in my city of Cork.Take 2 hours to visit town of Cobh 20 min from Cork.You will have 250 km to Dublin with 2 tolls cist you total of 2 Euro.So cheap.If you need some work on your bike check out Leehonda garage,just in case.enjoy your trip
Listening to your UK route it sounds like you will be catching the north sea ferry from Hull, its a pity I am away in Bulgaria as I am only near Leeds and would have liked to meet up and buy you a drink and have a chat. Maybe another time.
I have seen a few videos advising a hammock for lightweight and cheap travel. Knowing how you like travelling light, have you ever considered hammocks if you are going through countries with trees? Not deserts, or plains, of course.
@@motorcycleadventures I think it will be an interesting experiment for me in spring, when I start going somewhere more local, maybe not even overnight, but just to have a look at what it's like. I've heard a lot of good things about comfort and weight, but it's practicality does raise a few questions.
Excellent tips as always! In hindsight I should have planned ahead better on my first long trip (about 4000km) instead of riding all day till near sunset then finding a place to stay.
Love your philosophy on bike travel. Lightweight, travel far, be friendly, be prepared.
This is the most important advice I can give you. Thanks for watching!
the last advice is really importand and good one..."no one is so poor to give a smile and no one is so reach not to receive this smile"
True words, tanks Eduard!
Eduard Durik great bit of advice!!
thanks, I like it as well...and the saying has got really "something".. :-)

Very true. Thanks for adding!
campground.... drive 100ft into the woods and setup for free
Disagree. Always take the tent too many amazing places east to camp in a tent .
@@AndrewBrowner This is not allowed in every European country or area sadly...
@@Knakkerman- they have police walking every square foot of wooded area's every evening? i have no problem breaking silly laws like this.. we as a species used to exclusively live in the woods in basically tents and shacks living off the land hunter gatherer bla bla bla.. now its illegal to even spend a night in a tent in government owned wooded area's? absurd.. what possible reason can they give "oh its for your safety" no ones asking for it to be safe or anyone to be responsible for you.. were all big boys and responsible for our own decisions and circumstances...

When I travel I sue the tent in very rare. Usually I am able to find cheap hotels or hostels, but it is good to have it as alternative.

Such true words !! Well done on the advice 😊 I travel alone and the freedom i feel is the best .... love your blogs keep them rolling in 😉
I love this guy. No nonsense, straightforward truths, right between the eyes.

Whatever suit to you and your riding style.
You’re a wise man Pavlin. Your channel is so helpful and inspirational.
I appreciate that!
Hello Pavlin, thanks for the good informations! Cheers from Brazil!
It's taken me many years of adventure riding what you summarized in a few sentences. .
The same for me. I said fast, but learned very slow...

Good video again..thanks

all you said is correct and true mate. its very rationable and good thinking. This is why I like you alot as sources to get to know something . Guru !

If your coming back to eastern England on your trip, make sure you ride the Yorkshire dales (butter tub pass) plus the Yorkshire moors. You'll have to trust me it's stunning roads.
Some fantastic advice as usual.
I might change my route a bit and ride there...thanks!
by the way I'm not sure if you already know but wild camping is legal and free in Scotland.
I know and this is one of the reasons why I will have my tent. Thanks anyway!
I just saw one video of you and became a subscriber. Great advice and good logic 😉

Hi, when you come to Ireland make sure to visit Kerry its very nice and different.
It is located down in the South West Ireland. I am not going that far. I would love to, but I cannot have everything at the same time. Good reason to go again!
I love these advice videos -- I'll watch them all no matter how much you repeat some of the advice from previous videos - there's always good nuggets in there.
I like the advice here about tires - on my recent trip to Death Valley California ~2300 miles - I didn't check my tire pressure until about half way and my rear tire is now severely cupped (!) -- what a dumb mistake.
Also, I learned from the trip that taking hard bags onto gravel roads is a no-no -- if you fall (like I did, at a low speed) they can break easily, for example the latch!. thankfully I brought a full role of duck tape.
Speaking about long trips and off road - would love to hear more advice and stories about riding off-pavement on this channel - not extreme riding - just gravel, sand, forest roads and what experience you had and how you prepared for the next off-road adventure.
cheers!
I am glad that you found the channel useful, this was the original idea. You learned a lot of things the hard way, but...
Nice video idea. I will make it when I get back.

good info again ....... well done . you should come and talk at HORIZONES UNLIMITED MEETINGS .....
Heading to Milan soon after a couple of day's trip through the Alps. I found out, that Hostels are even in a shared room more expensive than certain hotels. lol As we are couch surfers, we usually use that as staying overnight and meeting great people. But Milan is pretty difficult.
You are right. In one moment I wondered what is the sense to travel buying food in supermarkets instead eating local food what is also very important attraction. On the other side when you do not have money it is always better to buy food in supermarket and travel than to stay at home due to lack of money for trip. And this is movie "How to travel cheap", not "How to fully enjoy the trip".
Correct, the video is how to travel as cheap as possible.
Great video. Like your enthusiasm.
Thanks John!
Take also a look at the SWM Superdual X
In Italy is sold for a bit more than 7k €
But it's a 1cylinder engine
Thank you brother, keep up the good work.
I will, thanks Sam!

Very usefull Tipps.
Great video,great advice keep smiling 🙂
Very practical information. You r from which country. How can u compare bike travel with a small car or Jeep like jimney. Thanks.
As always great video!!! Solid advice from a pro.
Thanks Alberto!
I love long trips, expensive bikes are out of my reach, yet I found long motorcycle trips affordable. First contact with different people around the world, different cultures and beautiful views that you can enjoy are far more better than airplane trips. Bike can go where cars cannot so that is a bonus as well. Bike do not have to be new or expensive, it must be luxury for the rider and in great (sound) mechanical condition of the bike. I am running old Yamaha XJ600S Diversion and I am happy with this bike. It is modified to suit my needs but is also reliable, cheap and easy to maintain.
True. The bike is just a tool...
Good advice as usual,i would like to ride a 600 but i can't with my girlfriend on the back and the camping gear for 2,clothes for 2,food....etc,a 600 would be too overloaded,for one person is great tho
True
thanks for wise advise
You are welcome anytime!
thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Pavlin, another thing with the speed is when you travel faster it is more fatiguing so you cannot travel as far.
Very true, thanks for adding!
Planned to travel by my bike to Hungary. Even I was born in Germany and live in Romania as a Turkish citizen heard that need visa for Schengen countries. So I went to Hungary embassy. Impossible that I can get visa. They asked for all countries that I will travel real hotel reservation and last 3 months salary transaction bank account. I don't have those because I quit job. So the biggest issue is unfortunately visa. Thank you for all your cool advises. I wish one day we will meet somewhere on the road Pavel.
Next video - next very good job, Pavlin. Thanks.
Thanks man!
Pavlin you know that you add 600 km to Cherbourg ferry.Much closer to Calais.Ferry takes long time,18 hours I think.I did that on my bike last June.for such a long journey you want a cabin to sleep which cost another 70 euro.Maybe better to ride to Liverpool and take boat to Isle of Man,You will save a lot of time
The main reason I am going to France is because I want to ride Sommeiller and see Omaha Beach. Actually I will take it from Roscoff. From Cherbourg they have line on Sunday. I will not take cabin, it cost me 73 euro.
Motorcycle Adventures You will arrive in my city of Cork.Take 2 hours to visit town of Cobh 20 min from Cork.You will have 250 km to Dublin with 2 tolls cist you total of 2 Euro.So cheap.If you need some work on your bike check out Leehonda garage,just in case.enjoy your trip
No, actually I will arrive in Rosslare, 180km South from Dublin.
Very good point's you said 👍👍
Thanks!
Nice Video 🥰
Thanks 🤗
thanks for the tips, it really helps alot..
You are welcome anytime!
Wieder ein super informatives Video :3 Hoffe nächstes Jahr meine erste lange Tour in Angriff zu nehmen.
Thanks man! Good luck on your trip!
Agreed with "don't focus much to the bike. Enjoy the trips"
True
Great tips. Thanks.
Thanks Kari!
Listening to your UK route it sounds like you will be catching the north sea ferry from Hull, its a pity I am away in Bulgaria as I am only near Leeds and would have liked to meet up and buy you a drink and have a chat. Maybe another time.
Yes John, I will catch the ferry from Hull. See you next time!
Excellent useful video. Thankyou. Mack, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
Thanks man!
I have seen a few videos advising a hammock for lightweight and cheap travel. Knowing how you like travelling light, have you ever considered hammocks if you are going through countries with trees? Not deserts, or plains, of course.
I don't think that the hammock will be good option. It is like an addition to the existing camping gear.
@@motorcycleadventures I think it will be an interesting experiment for me in spring, when I start going somewhere more local, maybe not even overnight, but just to have a look at what it's like. I've heard a lot of good things about comfort and weight, but it's practicality does raise a few questions.
Excellent tips as always! In hindsight I should have planned ahead better on my first long trip (about 4000km) instead of riding all day till near sunset then finding a place to stay.
Thanks Bob!
Did you make it?😅
@@Milo-Mike with minimal injuries to the bike and myself 😁
Great tips man! And one more thing "Why I always press the thumb up before I watch your video?"
Because you know that I am a serious guy and I will never upload bu...t!!!
