I'm 55 years old and a new rider ( only 6 months) .I totally agree with you in all points! Well done ! Great video! Greetings from Greece!

[richardgiles]

100% agree with you on this video. I've always ridden with the attitude that everyone is out to kill me. I only ride in the rain when I have to, and I never ride in the winter as I don't need to.
Stay safe, everyone, and stay upright 🙏

I've ridden for over 40 years. Hundreds of thousands of kilometres. My motorcycle choice is always keep it light because I know I'll drop it. I'm in Morocco on my crf300l. I've dropped it twice at very slow speed. Easy to pick it up and get going again. Had it weighed 250 kilos I'd struggle to get it upright again.
Keep it light
Keep it simple.

Very true. Humility beats ego everytime, especially on 2 wheels 👍

[ruedigerfriebel]

Loving it. No marketing bullshitting, just experienced truth. Thanks for being the way you are!

The end of this video made me realise how old I am. I was a British soldier during the Cold War period, and seeing how overgrown and collapsed these buildings were made me google places I was stationed during my 17 years service…..most are completely gone, others in a similar state to those you showed. My brain says yesterday. Reality says thirty plus years ago… 😢

My dad's advice to his 11 year old son who had just bought a motorcycle. "Son, good judgment comes from experience, and well, experience comes from poor judgment."

5. Always number 5. Concentration on the job is key and will usually get the job done.
I still have the scars from years ago. There is a saying in Latin. " Experientia Docet." Experience teaches.
Safe, happy travels 👍

I've crashed couple times on dirt bike. Even flew over handle bars but, once on my Tiger 800 was tired after long day of riding and forgot to put the kickstand...felt like an idiot but shows how fatigue can hit you😂 what a great bike you have Tenere!

I had a motorcycle crash the other day, riding on ice and snow with Worn out tires, I still have pain in my back, I know I am stupid but I am a human. Have a nice Christmas and thanks for your video.

I agree . I wanted to add one more important point . When you are tired, sleepy stop and take a rest. Your focus and concentration is lost when you are

[RandolphMaunder]

Excellent advice. I've been riding 35 years, solo and without excessive luggage. I find between 40 and 50 HP is all I need to travel comfortably and at a good speed. A heavy bike and lots of HP is a recipe for disaster unless you are a very exprienced rider, the danger is many riders feel they have a lot more expertise than they actually do!!

Pavlin, you are a philosopher! I love the forever school comment....always so much good sense! 👍

[leonwaldman]

The last reason is not so obvious like others, however so right !!! Thanks Pavlin !

[vstromxt]

100 % agree with you. Humility is key when driving a motorbike.

No4 is sooo spot on. Heard about Dunning-Kruger, getting over-confident? I've applied D-K from start, I thought... Then a month ago, when I overtook an irritatingly slow, R-turning passcar a fair bit too fast - spring and sun, you know - and another car came out from the right - he didn't see me behind the turning car. Thankfully he stopped by panic braking, but I wouldn't've been able myself. I see this as mainly my fault, secondarily his - this in sharp contrast to all rude bikers with cams here on YT by the way. First gravely serious incident during my five years of riding.
Thank you Sir for all wise tips - or really directions, since you are so right!

[wavecreatures]

Wise words! I’m a new rider with a Honda CB500X. I thought that I was learning just to get my license, no I was wrong the learning never ends! Thank you for a great video!

[squiretomasie]

Great advise. I have been riding 62 years and was a Pro Racer at at one time.

[jethrohill]

Love the advice. Thank you. Bust planning my first solo road trip. At 50, I guess better late than never.

[squiretomasie]

You my friend are doing such a great service to Riders!
