    If your caught out with wet soggy boots, try putting supermarket plastic bags over your dry socks and feet, then put on your wet boots boots back on. Keeps your feet dry, and stops that wet soggy feeling creeping back.

      Good tip. In Malaysia, I've seen riders putting plastic bags over the boots to keep it dry.

    I was filling my bike with petrol at a station when an old lady came up to me. In your story the lady said 'are you ok? You will get sick'. In my case, she said 'I grew up with motorbikes. My father had motorbikes (Panthers and BMW's) and my husband had motorbikes.' Then she said, 'I always think, real men have motorbikes'. What can I say? It made my day! We chatted for 20 minutes. Then we went on our separate ways.

    If I could add something I learned riding in Asia where there are signed refuge / shelter areas just for bikes below under passes etc. If it's really too much to ride in like a monsoon, lighting is also a big risk, stop. Find some shelter and wait, use the time to relax, eat a snack bar, go to the toilet if you can, call family just to say you're OK, take a nap or even have a smoke if you do smoke. I always felt fresher when it was time to move off again.

      In most Malaysian highways there're shelter for bikes under passes. If you travel from North to South using PLUS highway there're plenty of it and it's a proper bike stop with armco barrier for safety.

    In the UK you used to be able to buy Derri MCB boots which were 100% waterproof. They didn't look too good and offered very little in the way of protection in a crash. They did keep your feet warm and dry though and I used them a lot for commuting over the winter months.

    Prefer not rain but no sun shines like the sun after a heavy storm. It's glorious. Deep troughs make the peaks higher! Otherwise would be boring.
    Supermarket plastic bags in my boots help if it looks wet all day. Free and effective.
    I quite like my one piece suit if rain is forecast all day although you can get hot in it.
    Heated grips I find brilliant and help keep my hands warm even if wet.
    Your stories are good examples of the connection bikes allow us to make with people you cannot find in any other vehicles. We appear vulnerable and people talk because of this. I love this aspect.
    Happy travels ride safe.

  • @kuhndj67
    @kuhndj67 7 лет назад +4

    Great tips as always... makes me almost miss touring in the rain (not really). If the bulkiness of layered clothes on cold wet days is a bother (it is for me) then I'd add that heated gear is a great way to deal with cold weather or lots of altitude changes when temps can swing 40f or more. Also, an alternative to glove liners or latex gloves for wet are glove covers - like boot covers they'll keep your gloves dry so when the rain stops you just take them off and don't have wet leather to deal with. WRT boots... I've got a pair of Goretex lined Daytona's and in 20,000 miles they've not once leaked, so while the comment about boots always leaking is generally true, I think there are now options out there if you're willing to spend a bit more money.

    • @tbillyjoeroth
      @tbillyjoeroth 3 года назад

      using a latex or nitrile glove UNDER your riding gloves is going to force you to buy XXL gloves at least. Everything is made overseas and the sizes are small, so you will have a hard time. Same way with using a balaclava: they make your helmet way too tight and you get a headache even if you get a XL helmet, and then what do you do when it's not cold? It won't fit properly! So, over-gloves may be better, and a paper-thin or maybe silk balaclava or your helmet won't fit. That's what I think, anyhow. Ciao!

  • @actstuntcam
    @actstuntcam 6 лет назад

    Once again fantastic points all. The best piece of riding gear I ever bought wasn't even a riding jacket. I have had sooooo many jackets and pants over the years and NONE of them kept me warm or dry... Then I bought a Primaloft jacket. (Mine was a Macpac jacket, but lots of outdoor gear brands have one in their line up.) I wore it under a thin leather jacket and rode every day to work - roughly a 40m trip. Even in pouring rain it kept me dry and warm. The worst day was freezing cold and bucketing down the whole way. When I got to work the jacket was soaked through, but I was still warm and dry. Do yourself a favour and buy one to wear under your riding gear.

  • @nono-du7vb
    @nono-du7vb 7 лет назад

    I carry with me a small microfibre towel for trampers/hikers. When it rains I get it out and wrap it around my neck as a scarf to help keep my neck warm and dry. I tuck the ends inside my jacket - no flapping. It dries out quickly too.
    I also find that Hunting clothing is very good for us. Hunters have to have light & dry layers. Many of the hunting tops & longs are 100&% windproof!! and waterproof & warm, extremely light and fold down very small. They dry out fast. I use a top layer under my jacket. It zips up my neck and is excellent.

  • @stevencampbell8465
    @stevencampbell8465 4 года назад

    Very good advice especially to point about putting on your wet weather gear BEFORE it starts raining. I ride in Indonesia and when it rains it comes down HARD and FAST. You only have one minute - max 2 mins - to get your kit on. After that you are too late. Thankfully the temperature is usually hot except if you are above 800 mts or so. Thanks for the video. Always informative and practical.

    Cold and wet...mmm love bike riding, I use snow mobile mits over my handle bar controls, i find that I can still use my summer motocross gloves even when it is -5 C, electric vest powered from the bike is fantastic to keep you warm, and under the jacket I have a cut out chest plate from a piece of foam insulation from a old camping mat, keeps the cold air out and heat in, same as news paper. I also wear a thin silk balaclava under the helmet to keep the cold out my ears. I also have waterproof socks so good I have walked through water with not getting my feet wet. Rain is much better than fog in the winter as you can't see through fog as well as rain.

    Boot covers. Rain suit on top of waterproof riding gear. If you camp waterproof floor plan/tarp and additional rainfly/tarp to hang over tent. If there are no trees to attach tarp to 2 motorcycles could be used to hang it on. We had 38 day trip to Alaska with less than 10 dry days though there were only maybe 10 really bad rainy days with downpour and temperatures 7-9C.

    I just want to point out one thing about safety. Some thing that was tough to me by my father when we lived in Sudan.
    That is, to tell a friend or family member where you are going and give them a copy of you route/plan of where you are going and for how long and when u will be home.
    also if you are travelling to places where there are no communication to call home the next opportunity you have just make a quick call even if it just so say "hello". That way the guys back home know they don't have to call for HELP!
    Thank you for sharing with us. from England.

    Very useful tips, thank you!
    I was once taken by surprise when riding a beautiful sunny day in late May (23 degrees Celsius on average) in the French Vosges, riding the Grand Ballon. The twisty roads were great, but in the distance the sky turned to dark grey. I was wearing an all-weather Goretex suit (Revit) so I thought I was okay if I was caught in the rain. Man, was I wrong on that point...
    First came the pouring rain, I was not thinking about going higher on the altitude, the rain could turn into something else. Within 10 minutes it turned into hail and another 10 minutes later it got really bad: wet, sticky snow! The big windscreen of my Yamaha FJR1300 was covered with it in no-time, I had to wipe my visor clean with my glove every 5 seconds. The ABS light on the dash flashed continuously meaning that it didn't function anymore, I got scared (and cold!) but there were no safe stopping points so I kept on riding slowly until I found one. Unfortunately, that was on the summit, some 50 minutes later. I parked the bike and stumbled into a simple food court to seek some warmth. I could feel everyones compassion with me, as I looked like a Yeti...
    I waited it out and half an hour later, the sky was blue again, my journey continued and I arrived dry again in my hotel. This story happened 10 years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday...

    I live in UK and I ride in winter time, when is cold and rainy season, so I have a lot of experience with this. Please make a video how to ride in hot and very dry days. Thanks

    I always prefer layers. Coldest I traveled was 3°C. That was done with thermal base clothes, a sweater, then a summer jacket (with removable wind breaker) and last I would wear the rain covers. Never liked water proof motorcycle jackets because after 30-45min you feel the cold because it gets soaked.

    Very nice, excellent, useful and simple tips also fun to watch. Thank you for your every week videos they are just great. Hope your next trip to Mongolia will be plenty of good surprises and adventure, and wish you came back home safe with plenty of new ideas :-)
    Maybe next video will be about riding in hot days, kind of jackets or just a tee-shirt, kind of gloves…, how to hydrate yourself also who to ride and watch your bike from heat stress on engine, tiers water coolant…. I think it will be very helpful to share your experience on that. I’m from south Algeria, so you can imagine ;-)
    Enjoy Riding,

      Abderrahmane HABBAAINA I - I agree! Pavlin, we really need a video about riding on hot days! I rode across the USA with a Tour, in the heat of their Summer. It was 51C and sunny, on the way into Las Vegas and out again. The support vehicle had two huge tubs of ice and water, and every half an hour we dipped our shirt/vests in the tubs and put them on wet. Also we drank 375 mil of water every half an hour! But without a Support Vehicle, on your own, how would you cope with the big distances between fuel stations?? That's the video we need Pavlin !!! Please! Greetings from Sydney.

    Verry good video as always.
    I have to disagree on the boots though. I use Daytona Burdit Boots. they are 100% water proof. I stood in a river with them and my feet where dry. You get the cold feeling of wet feet though, due to the cooling properties of water ;)
    Maybe you should test the Daytonas. The Bootcovers are still cool though cause the layer will keep you warm.

      About the boots: I made the same test, they are fine after 5 min in the river, but after 5 hours, constantly heavy rain, the leather soak so bad that they will start to leak. If they didn't, that's mean only one thing - they are not breathable and this will bring you to another problem in the really hot days.

    I wear rain jacket and pants outside my rain resistant riding jacket thus double layers kept me all day dry riding on Tasmania Island on a few rainy days. Actually its easier to ride with rain gears on cold rainy days than hot rainy days.

      Hi, this type of videos are not my test. All bikes are different and they react different of the specific situations. I only give advices from my personal experience and I am not on position to talk about the technical aspect of the riding and behaviour of any bike and rider. I am sorry! I already told the most important in the bonus advice in this video.

    Really nice and informative video. I will definetly try the latex medical gloves.
    I do wonder if you could go more in-depth, maybe in a seperate Video, on Footwear. Which Boots/shoes to pick and what to avoid.

  • @hodaka1000
    @hodaka1000 5 лет назад

    Spare pair of gloves, rubber over boots. And as you say put your gear on in time, ahead of time.
    And my latest favourite wet weather thing, satellite weather radar.

    Treat yourself to Daytona boots pref no zips, polish & wax them regularly literally river crossings possible, due to replace mine after ten years day in day out use. I believe it's in the boot sealing construction they got bang on the money.

    I've seen that look more than once before. I have actually found leather boots that are completely water proof. I know this because I road over 500 km in bad weather and the only thing left on me warm were my feet.
