"Absolutely brilliant job. I will say this is the best money spent in the last 10 years, since I started riding motorcycles. Never even thought about many of the topics discussed in the course. Highly recommend it. Thank you, Pavlin! "

Excellent course to help bring some realism to your planned adventures
I now have two of Pavlin's online courses and have watched most of his YouTube videos. I truly appreciate his strong motivation and wealth of experience, as well as his great ability to share this with the rest of us. I strongly believe that he has our best interests at heart. In light of what you may spend on your motorcycle, gear, insurance, petrol, maintenance, etc., having a little more insight into your abilities and travel and preparations is a bargain, so I can only recommend you buy this and watch it at your leisure.

Having completed the course, I wish to congratulate Pavlin on how excellent it has been. As “just another rider” he has put a great deal of time and effort into this course to help us become better travelers. He is very straightforward in sharing his wealth of knowledge with us in his typical no-nonsense approach. This is a no-frills course filled with practical, real, and potential problems that are easily avoided or confronted while on very long motorcycle trips, along with solutions to them all. He has created and followed, for many years, a tried and true process to optimize the enjoyment we are intended to experience on our travels. He responds, very quickly and personally, to emails with questions and comments about the course. I have been riding motorcycles most of my adult life and thoroughly enjoyed his stories and advice. I am, as I believe we all are, always learning, and this course taught me many things I never considered. I highly recommend this course to everyone, regardless of whether your motorcycle travel is measured in days or months. Thank you, Pavlin. Ride safe, brothers and sisters

"I never found a course like this, it is not about the usual logistic advice and experiences exchange, it is about preparing you to plan, manage and enjoy a long distance ride including emotional challenges, psychological and physical readiness, minimizing risks and preparing you for the “real world” experience (not the “social media experince”) so making your ride prepared, enjoyable and safe! If you are to plan a long distance ride, strongly recommend!!!!!!"

"Completed. I don't know how much time you spent building this course, but the amount of information and tips you share is priceless. I am much older than you and haven't thought for even one small part of what you described here. Well done, young man! Deserves every cent!"

"As a buyer of your old course, 5 years ago and now just finished module 7, the only thing that I can say is: Why did it take you so long to make this one? Brilliant work. Thank you very much!"

" I am on module 6. So far, every lesson is gold. Well done, young man, well done! I hope God will give me a few more years to practise everything I learned from you."

"Hi Pavlin, I just completed the first module of your course. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your material is relevant, concise, and to the point. Your editing is excellent, and I love your shop! So far, this is the best $80 I have spent in years!"

“I’ve just completed the second module of Pavlin’s Motorcycle Adventures course. In typical fashion, he approaches the topic in a concise and pragmatic way, separating truth from fiction, so that the student is left with a realistic perspective of what lies ahead, should they choose to take a long road trip. For me, my long road trip days are over but I am still learning, from this course, things that will help me on my day trips on my touring motorcycle.
I am impressed with Pavlin’s knowledge, from his own experience and not just something he read or heard. Knowledge comes from experience and wisdom from the experience of others. Pavlin has both and conveys them in a simple and down-to-earth way. I am sometimes surprised at how quickly a session goes by. Time flies when we’re having fun.
Lastly, even though I am only part way through the course, I feel that the fee is justly earned and deserved. If you’re considering taking this course, then I suggest giving it a try. Just my humble opinion."

"As a purchaser of Pavlin's online courses, I can honestly say they are MASSIVE value for money. Yes, you can learn lots from his YouTube videos, but his courses are next level. They were a HUGE help in my 54,000km, 18 month RTW ride. No, Pavlin is not paying me for this comment!"

"Well done, Pavlin! You did a great job on collecting all of this in one system. Easy to watch and understand. I like very much the real examples that always come with a moral story."

"Hi Pavlin, I absolutely realize that I don’t know all that’s needed for bike travel, but I’ve got a lot of useful ideas from your excellent down to earth youtube videos and the course I bought earlier. I highly appreciate what you do and wanted to support it by purchasing your latest course."

"Approached it sceptically. Mostly to support the channel but like it. The self assessment at the end of the modules is nice. Thank you for the work you put in."
