If you want to learn more about the long motorcycle trips check the rest of the videos in the channel or by my book: "How to become a better long distance motorcycle rider" rtw-adventures.com/books-1.html
Very honest videos. I started watching all of your videos a couple weeks ago and now my wife is upset; as she says... "too much entertaining on your cellphone!" lol. It is the first time I find an honest point of view without propaganda. Keep it up! and always welcome to Colombia (South America) my friend, there is A LOT more to see and ride here than the news says.
It is funny that if you watch an informative video like this you are wasting your time. If I was reading the same info in a book, you are learning something and making yourself smarter.
Own and tested helite vest just like in this video. Even without inflation it has very sturdy back protector. If you get hi-viz, it looks dorky but people see you. They even ask you what it is. Yes, it was $700 but when I landed on my back I felt nothing. I got up, straightened crooked and twisted parts on my bike, set on it and to my big surprise and joy, it was still running. I rode around the block, parked and went to take care of my broken arm.
WOW!!!!!..... SELECTING PROPER SAFETY GEAR/CLOTHING, WHILE CONSIDERING COMFORT, AND EFFECTIVENESS, IS A COMPLEX PROCESS!!!.... I GUESS IT IS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE TO SORT THRU IT ALL!!! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND ADVICE!
RE AIRBAGS .., Just be aware that : the Airbag inflation cylinders (compressed air cartridges) are BANNED from being carried on all Airlines worldwide , and also from many from most sea shipping contractors also . I know this from Big Wave surfing inflation vests, which have been in use for a long time and use the exact same system . So depending on where you are, you will need to stock up those cylinders as each come-off will inflate your jacket - and be prepared that they may not even be available (after shipping) once you run out , or ship to your new destination . These Compressed Air Cartridges .., are seen by the airline and shipping contractors as potential explosives and is why they refuse to carry them.
I have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years and the worst I have been hurt is on a horse and the next is a car crash, I look at motorcycling as a safe hobby
After more than a year of almost daily use, me and another friend of mine can recommend the Helite Turtle vests as they do not inconvenience the rider at all and adds a lair of confidence (to your loved ones as well). No accidental discharges ever happen and we both forgot to disconnect on many occasions before getting used to it (takes 2 weeks). Airbags provide impact resistance that is far beyond what hard armour can achieve and walking away from a (maybe) otherwise crippling or fatal accident is priceless. Money you will never regret spending.
Excellent information! I ride high power electric unicycles... one day, felt lazy, didn't wear elbow protection. Too much work...I crashed, shattered my elbow... lesson learned.
Airbag system is the best by far! I had accident wearing one in december. Without it, at least my clavicle shoud have been broken! I dont want to make any advertisment, so I wont post any links. I got my jacket under 400e!
There is another option - a compression underjacket from forcefield or knox with softarmor for elbow, should, back, even chest. Very well ventilated... put a jersey over for trails... and a abrasion resistant jacket for roads... Cheers
Yes, that is true. The first protection system is inside your head. I always say to my motorbike friends about two scenes from the movie "7 samurai" by Akira Kurosawa. In this scenes one samurai is testing the skills of another samurai he wants to hire. One hidden man has to hit entering samurai with wooden stick. First samurai has perfect skills and reflex and defends himself ( ruclips.net/video/J2N_TIJPiOM/видео.htmlm6s ). But much better is the second samurai. Just before entering he stops because he feels that here is something wrong ( ruclips.net/video/J2N_TIJPiOM/видео.htmlm ). Good biker should be like this second samurai.
Some people say that there is impossible to foreseen many things, you have to be a fortuneteller. I say that fortunetellers does not exist, there are only people that are good observers and use their brain, these are considered as fortunetellers.
Very true. I am often amazed how many people are little aware of their surroundings. I was cutting some big branches of a tree with a chain saw. Guy stops his car, gets out of it and stands right under the branch I was about to cut. I have to give him a bit of praise though. He got out of the car to make a call on his smart phone. These phones take much away from the awareness people have. Fines for using one while driving should be increased drastically. The fines should be equivalent to drunk driving fines.
I love my Alpinestar 2-piece leather suit, with boots, gloves, and back-protector. Today, for track use, company like Dainese and Alpinestars make leather suits with air-bag, the trigger is a GPS system, which read the speed of the movement, if you slide down, it won't trigger the air bag, in case you have an high-side, or a crash against a car, on the road, then it will trigger the system, You don't need a cord to be attached, but are freaking expensive, we talking about 2000 euros, for me is too much, I cannot afford now. But on the track are amazing.
Very useful, as always, Pavlin. I have the best solution four you to ride during the winter in Germany: you just have to come to Uruguay, South America 😀
Nice display of safety options, but as I said last week,erupting organs against the skeleton is what kills most people. This gear protects the body's outer layers only, energy absorption is the key to protecting vital organs. Maybe the jacket airbag provides some energy absorption.
So that's the video with airbag I pointed out a few days back. As you said, it's pricey.. And each refill co2 costs around 25 bucks.. So for a long tour if someone falls with his bike few days , the cost will be unreasonable! Good option yet not for everyone
good info but the latest pressure shirts are not bad and should be included - allows me to remove armor from all my jackets yet have the same high level of protection that is tight to my body yet surprisingly comfortable especially after you get used to it. I am finding that this works great in colder temps but also not bad in warmer temps under a mesh jacket... Forcefield, 661, Leatt and others make reasonably priced solutions in this regard - these are not to be confused with lite mesh style body armor such as was shown earlier in this presentation...
Hi Pavlin, great video as usual. Will also buy your book today. What are the benefits of joining as a member on you tube ? It says only one chat a month. If you could describe maybe people might be interested more, right now it's not very clear. If you ever passing by Mumbai next time, let me know, you can stay at my Airbnb apartment free. It will be amazing to meet you and share stories. Best wishes
A few hundred more dollars for significantly less injuries is well worth the money . If I could afford Ironman super hero armor I would wear it . I think I will spring for the better knee protectors and integrated jacket . Also body armor for off road . If I get too hot I will just stop and take a rest under one of Gods beautiful trees and hydrate . Thanks again for another helpful video . I think my 2019 DR 650 will be ready for pick up this week . I can't wait . Peace .
Hi Pavlin, i guess 100%-security cannot be bought. It ever will be a balancing act between comfort an security, especially in hot weather. I always try to choose the "golden middle", but it is not always possible. Ride Safe, Hans
"Great video!-",,I wear safety Armor& kevlar regardless of the Heat ,,now,as long as I'm moving and wearing wick ,the jackets will actually keep you cooler as you sweat.""Eye dress for the Slide ,Not the Ride !-☆,lol.,SAFE TRAVELS ☆☆☆
Hmm.. I think the same about the integrated protector within the jaket, I also thought it was the best in terms of practicality, you don't have to put it off after your journey when u have to stop in town, and you don't have to looked like a robot, although in someway it also looked cool to wear armors 😂
I understand Rukka are doing a new jacket with a chest protector within the layers, (like they do with a back protector) Guess what, it's not cheap....Oh finally, it's not 'k-nee' my friend it is pronounced 'nee'... the 'k' is silent...it is something stupid we do in the English language... as in 'Knife' A bit like the French do with tyres with 'pneu'...Have you ever tried to get a tyre repaired on a Sunday in France saying " réparez-vous des .. 'puh noos'? I have, I was 19.... luckily the Renault Dealership workshop had a good laugh and took pity on me....
Didn't wish any offence my friend.... your video's are great, very informative, and no useless chat ...looking forward to when you can get back filming out on the road though! Ride safe my friend.
Mate , you are doing great with the 2nd language.., and english is the most difficult language of them all to master correctly . Learning a second language is already hard enough when you are young but increasingly becomes much harder as you get older. Much respect to anyone who has learnt a second language , especially if that language is English
Thanks man, the problem is that during the years I have to learn so many languages: Russian, English, Spanish, German...at the end they all sucks, but....better than nothing I guess.
the end of the video is the best part. we ourselves are the best protectors... this airbag jacket is perfect...but it is like a driving A8 for many many thousands of Euror...it is safer than Renault Skoda Peugeot VW....but how many people can afford it... I care for myself but I will not buy A8...and I will not stop driving... :-)
Great video Pavlin - always very informative! Just a quick question about the jacket with the airbag system. Does the jacket provide air cushioning for the arms as well or is it made with normal armor at the elbows?
Very good coverage as always well done. Re the vest I use it everyday and it works brilliant. Probably you should have clarified that the jacket is 700 euros not the vest. The turtle is a bit more expensive but its worth it I think better than the ones without a hard back. The price is max maybe 500. I have a question please. Re twisting ankle. I dont think there is anything that can stop a 200 kilo motorcycle falling on your foot from twisting. Any thoughts and recommendations? Thank you in advance
Excellent video again Pavlin. Not to be an ads but knee is pronounced nee with no k. Just trying to help you. Although it has a k in the spelling it is silent like knife we say nife.
As usually, very informative. I have a question concerning the jacket with integrated airbag: there is a trigger line connected to the bike right? What happens if you just drop the bike at very low speed when crossing some muddy or deep sand section and roll "gently" on the ground away from the bike - you will trigger the airbag for nothing?
Very late reply but in general the force needed to trigger an analogue airbag is pretty substantial. Even if it does trigger, the only thing that needs to be done after any crash (ofc if the airbag is still intact) is to replace the relatively cheap co2 cartige.
Actually, is not the best. I keep seeing those vests/jackets but they are without inter-costal protection. No protection for you ribs. What happens if you fall with your elbow between your ribs? Or on your side and hit the street curb with your rib-cage under your arms? You will soon find out that you'll have a punctured lung while wearing a 700eur airbag vest/jacket. If you want a good airbag vest/jacket you should pick one that has intercostal / rib-cage protection under your arms.
I like to upgraid my security , and my first was my boots. Now i bought the moust secure, sidi adventur2 , I have not been riding with them, They are like down hill boots, and i am scaerd ,becouse i cant feel when i shift gear! my qustion is, Are safety better than comfort
Ok this promotion clip is about the airbag 👍 I ride since 1988 big enduros for more than 400.000km without airbag, rukka bla bla , chest or neck protectors or even this yellow safety jacket thing 😂 Your safety depends on your experience & driving style. Ask a greek or italian/ french driver about this safety gimmicks they will laugh about you. „Typicall german - to much money and less kilometers“
Regarding the law, the only gear which is a must is the helmet. You are free to ride even naked if you like as longer you wear your helmet, but I don't think that this is a good advice, especially for new riders.
Can you elaborate further on the knee braces? What to look for in a good product? Also, do you have a suggestion for a full body armor? Thanks! BTW, hellite is not the the only air bag system- you have dainse & alpinestars which seems better, but way too rich for my blood...
Hi Oren, I do have some link my website (affiliate) with the gear I can recommend: rtw-adventures.com/motorcycle-gear-1.html. I know that there are many Airbag brands, but on that model I have a closer look.
I actually love the full-armor jacket, it is cheaper and offer the best protection, but i can't wear it to go shopping or date lolz, they said i look like utraman or power ranger etc (even star-war Stormtrooper) By the way, it have the best cooling compared to other type of gears, can't understand how you will feel hot wearing this.
Air vest system looks the best on the paper, but it's single use for track, right? what are you going to do if you drop bike at low speed, your foot slips on mud at the stop and you trigger it? Then it is just a dead weight for the rest of the trip.
Motorcycle Adventures ..Hello sir , thank you ..I see some air cushions with good reviews ..ll get one and try ..bcos of the nature of my work , I don't get time to ride long much ..
Good video. Scared me right off riding. Sincere thanks. Really. I want to live in one piece - riding bikes is just too risky with the idiot drivers on the roads. Back to my country trails mountain bike.
Motorcycle Adventures ok. The airbag stuff is kinda cool and the metal gloves can be sweet if they are high quality. But what I'm talking about it all the armor pieces. Like all the ones I saw were just plastic. I found one set of knee pads that had aluminum but that was it. I'm looking for something that's made of metal or Kevlar. And the coverage on even the expensive stuff didn't cover all that much. I'm looking for 80% + body coverage. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.
I can’t ride with all this crap modern armour ,it restricts you from making proper rear observations .The old bike leather jackets were made out of quality leather with thicker panels to help protect vulnerable parts of the body .Now I have to wear textile motorcycle clothing to ride my bikes, that are fitted with armour . There is no way I could wear all that stupid robot transformer armour that looks like power ranger kit. The more armour car & motorcyclists have the more they think they are invincible & act like total morons on the road .
@@motorcycleadventures I am a 69 year old experienced rider of 50 years on road .I have had one or two accidents .The only time I wasn’t any protective gear other than helmet & gloves the front tubed tyre deflated & I got dragged down the road & knee cap torn out .The point I was making was for me the old leather motorcycle jackets or pants never needed armour because of the quality & thickness & quality of leather in vulnerable parts . Also if this modern armour restricts your movements causing you to not see vehicles in your blind spot ,you are more likely to have a bad accident .Also I see many riders riding like lunatics believing they are invincible because they have all this restrictive armour & now air bags .Riding motorcycles is dangerous & you have to accept that ,you can only protect yourself so much .& too much armour obstructing your movements & control is not a good thing .
The modern gear is way more effective, comfortable and practical in almost any riding conditions. There is a reason why every long distance, me included, traveller will prefer it over the leather. Also the protection is at least 5 times better. Just because you have many years of riding experience does not make you automatically right! Leather cannot protect from direct impact! New textile materials, with a combination of some plastics are way better when you slide. And last but not least they are breathable and waterproof. I guess that you know what wet leather means, especially if you need to keep riding.
@@motorcycleadventures The longest distance I ride these days is into Wales or the Lake District in the U.K. I had to give my modern leather jacket & pants away as they were too restrictive with the armour . I now were textiles with some armour in but I don’t go overboard on it .I have to buy sizes larger for comfort .No matter how much they cost they all look shabby in a short space of time .How do all you adventure riders manage to keep those light coloured expensive textiles clean & tidy ,after riding through hundreds of miles of dust & crap roads ? You all look like you all just been on a photo shoot for a fashion magazine .

I made a lot of mistakes in the past...

We are humans. We make mistakes. Constantly. Thank you for your videos bro.
This video gives me an insight into driving safety
Thanks for taking the time!
There is another option - a compression underjacket from forcefield or knox with softarmor for elbow, should, back, even chest.
Very well ventilated... put a jersey over for trails... and a abrasion resistant jacket for roads...

Yes, that is true. The first protection system is inside your head.

Yes, that will be great. I will come, next year.
Perfect comparison Pavlin! Many thanks.
Nice topic!!
I combine a body armour with integrated jacket protection & lower protection belt for the bottom end vertebraes!
Safe rides mate!!
Smart option, safe trips for you as well!
Nice display of safety options, but as I said last week,erupting organs against the skeleton is what kills most people. This gear protects the body's outer layers only, energy absorption is the key to protecting vital organs. Maybe the jacket airbag provides some energy absorption.
Yes, you are right, but I still believe that the chances we might have with this jacket are way bigger then without it.
Greetings From India. Wear jackets and pants as per standard seems best option.
So that's the video with airbag I pointed out a few days back. As you said, it's pricey.. And each refill co2 costs around 25 bucks.. So for a long tour if someone falls with his bike few days , the cost will be unreasonable! Good option yet not for everyone

Forcefield, 661, Leatt and others make reasonably priced solutions in this regard - these are not to be confused with lite mesh style body armor such as was shown earlier in this presentation...
Of course there are many alternatives, I just pointed the well known.
this knee stuff gave me some bad pictures in my head :((
thanks for the vid. it was helpfull!
Glad it helped!
I love riding with an airbag vest/jacket
Safety first...
Those plastic protectors also protect you when you are sliding. Not only the direct impact
This is also some kind of direct impact.
Hi Pavlin, great video as usual. Will also buy your book today. What are the benefits of joining as a member on you tube ? It says only one chat a month. If you could describe maybe people might be interested more, right now it's not very clear.

Good option from the safety point of view, but not good in cold weather or rain.

750 euro is notning compare what can happen. One question: air jacket can use only once or many times???
Yes, the jacket can be used many times, only the small gas patron need to be changed.
Motorcycle Adventures that cool. I think I will buy one tnen. Safety first!!!!
yeah you're right, if you'll have serious damage you probably spend much more money
Ok this promotion clip is about the airbag 👍 I ride since 1988 big enduros for more than 400.000km without airbag, rukka bla bla , chest or neck protectors or even this yellow safety jacket thing 😂 Your safety depends on your experience & driving style.

Also, do you have a suggestion for a full body armor?
Thanks!
BTW, hellite is not the the only air bag system- you have dainse & alpinestars which seems better, but way too rich for my blood...
Hi Oren, I do have some link my website (affiliate) with the gear I can recommend: rtw-adventures.com/motorcycle-gear-1.html. I know that there are many Airbag brands, but on that model I have a closer look.
you also have hit-air, a Japaneses company. Probably there are other options.
Umm.... Won't that airbag pop as soon as you start sliding on it?
No!
I actually love the full-armor jacket, it is cheaper and offer the best protection, but i can't wear it to go shopping or date lolz, they said i look like utraman or power ranger etc (even star-war Stormtrooper) By the way, it have the best cooling compared to other type of gears, can't understand how you will feel hot wearing this.
@ White Hawk What brand of jacket did you buy?
@@eddieskelton4871 its a china brand, bought from taobao
What do you think which airbag vest is the better?Helite turtle 2 or the new Alpinestars tech air 5 ? Thanks
I never tried Alpinestars.
@@motorcycleadventures Check it out brand new and you can wear under any jacket.
Air vest system looks the best on the paper, but it's single use for track, right? what are you going to do if you drop bike at low speed, your foot slips on mud at the stop and you trigger it? Then it is just a dead weight for the rest of the trip.
What you have to is to change the gas chamber.
Hello Sir , Thank you ..are you using any air cushion for long rides ? thinking of getting one ..
I tried any kind of variations, they all work, but not on the way I have expect it. Now run without anything.
Motorcycle Adventures ..Hello sir , thank you ..I see some air cushions with good reviews ..ll get one and try ..bcos of the nature of my work , I don't get time to ride long much ..
The Airbag system remains tied to the bike after the accident?? ... Maybe not that good 🤔
No, check the description of the system carefully.
why not just wear the full body armour without a jacket which would be cooler in the summer without a jacket
thanks brother ..
I have a question, it's about the airbag system.. is it one time or I could reuse? I mean if the airbag restore after it triggers.
f course you can use it many times. What you need is just a small Co containers.
thanks brother 👍
What's the name of the jacket with integrated airbag?

Good video. Scared me right off riding. Sincere thanks. Really. I want to live in one piece - riding bikes is just too risky with the idiot drivers on the roads. Back to my country trails mountain bike.
I am sorry to hear that you are worry to ride, but...
The last minute you should have shown all your gear on....
Wearing all that space armour is depressing. The 5th option would be to take the Jeep. Top down, doors off and wind in your hair! 😁
How r airbags triggered

Fun vid. Time for some vodka...
Enjoy it!

Точно!
Protective gear is NOT important...ask any Chrome Toilet Jockey. It cancels out the "pirate" look.
All the motorcycling protection gear I have seen online sucks so bad. Really really bad. Cheap stuff. Just garbage.
I cannot agree with this. There are some really good stuff. Depends from the price of course.
Motorcycle Adventures ok. The airbag stuff is kinda cool and the metal gloves can be sweet if they are high quality. But what I'm talking about it all the armor pieces. Like all the ones I saw were just plastic. I found one set of knee pads that had aluminum but that was it. I'm looking for something that's made of metal or Kevlar. And the coverage on even the expensive stuff didn't cover all that much. I'm looking for 80% + body coverage. If you could point me in the right direction that would be great.

I am sure, he better speaks your language, then you speak his.
I can’t ride with all this crap modern armour ,it restricts you from making proper rear observations .The old bike leather jackets were made out of quality leather with thicker panels to help protect vulnerable parts of the body .Now I have to wear textile motorcycle clothing to ride my bikes, that are fitted with armour . There is no way I could wear all that stupid robot transformer armour that looks like power ranger kit. The more armour car & motorcyclists have the more they think they are invincible & act like total morons on the road .
I hope that you will never learn what is to crash without the proper "robot gear"
@@motorcycleadventures I am a 69 year old experienced rider of 50 years on road .I have had one or two accidents .The only time I wasn’t any protective gear other than helmet & gloves the front tubed tyre deflated & I got dragged down the road & knee cap torn out .The point I was making was for me the old leather motorcycle jackets or pants never needed armour because of the quality & thickness & quality of leather in vulnerable parts . Also if this modern armour restricts your movements causing you to not see vehicles in your blind spot ,you are more likely to have a bad accident .Also I see many riders riding like lunatics believing they are invincible because they have all this restrictive armour & now air bags .Riding motorcycles is dangerous & you have to accept that ,you can only protect yourself so much .& too much armour obstructing your movements & control is not a good thing .
The modern gear is way more effective, comfortable and practical in almost any riding conditions. There is a reason why every long distance, me included, traveller will prefer it over the leather. Also the protection is at least 5 times better. Just because you have many years of riding experience does not make you automatically right! Leather cannot protect from direct impact! New textile materials, with a combination of some plastics are way better when you slide. And last but not least they are breathable and waterproof. I guess that you know what wet leather means, especially if you need to keep riding.
@@motorcycleadventures The longest distance I ride these days is into Wales or the Lake District in the U.K. I had to give my modern leather jacket & pants away as they were too restrictive with the armour . I now were textiles with some armour in but I don’t go overboard on it .I have to buy sizes larger for comfort .No matter how much they cost they all look shabby in a short space of time .How do all you adventure riders manage to keep those light coloured expensive textiles clean & tidy ,after riding through hundreds of miles of dust & crap roads ? You all look like you all just been on a photo shoot for a fashion magazine .
Not me! I wash my gear once per year. Usually, the rain do it for me!
