If you’ve ever heard of Pavel, you’ve heard that he loves bikes! As an actor, Pavel is someone with a need for speed, completely adept in the fast life. One of his many skills and hobbies includes biking, but when did this start?
Read on more to see Pavel Phoom bring to light how his love for bikes came to be in an exclusive interview with Star Struck Media! This article is brought to you in collaboration with Cebu BL Organization.
Pavel’s First Scooter
It all started when Pavel had just moved back to Thailand. It was a whole different experience compared to New Zealand!
Pavel was already an experienced driver since he used a car around the ages of 16-17, but he expressed that driving is a different experience in Thailand. There’s crazy traffic, and not everyone obeys the rules. With such a change, Pavel couldn’t help but be scared at the beginning.
Since he disliked the traffic, Pavel decided to use his family’s scooter after one month of commuting to university. Public transport required you to wake up early and cram with many people. So, with the scooter, hours of traffic became an hour and a half shorter! People would ask if he felt hot from riding under the sun, but Pavel said he’d rather have free time than sacrifice it for a commute.
However, the story's twist is that Pavel did all this without telling his family. Pavel’s family was still unsure about using a scooter since he was still around 18-19 years old. When they found out, Pavel told them about his desire to ride for convenience!
Pavel’s Honda CV Motorbike from 2 Moons 2
After constantly riding his scooter to university, Pavel became obsessed with the fast lifestyle! At the time, having a big bike with a 4-cylinder engine was a dream for teams, and Pavel was one of them.
He started looking for second-hand bikes on pages when he found his Honda CV 4-cylinder 650cc!
Before 2 Moons 2, Pavel didn’t have a job (although he worked some part-time), so he begged his mom, who was still working in New Zealand, for three whole months. Afterward, she bought it for Pavel on deposit, and it became his first actual motorbike.
Amazingly, it’s the same bike you see Pavel use in his first BL series 2 Moons 2!
Pavel is a man who wants to be on top of the food chain bike-wise, so if he was getting a bike, he wanted to be the top bike. When deciding, his mother suddenly suggested he get an Italian bike! Pavel went from a scooter with 50cc to a motorbike with 650cc.
Pavel recalls the moment of buying his new bike and the excitement he felt as he screamed in his helmet. He says it’s probably what millionaires experience when they buy a Lamborgini! But, nowadays, such speed isn’t that thrilling anymore since he’s gotten used to it. Not fast enough for our Pavel!
How Pavel learned how to use a clutch bike
Since it was Pavel’s first time having an actual motorbike was really happy, but there came the dilemma of learning how to use a clutch bike!
After buying it, Pavel picked up the bike with his brother-in-law, who rode it with him for 10km from the shop. Coincidentally, Pavel’s new bike was also the bike his brother-in-law wanted. Then, he rode Pavel to a university with a parking lot perfect for Pavel to practice.
The two of them began learning how to use the clutch system! Pavel already knew how to balance, but using gear was new at the time!
A memorable experience was that after 30 minutes of riding, they stopped at a stoplight, made a turn, and accidentally broke one of the side mirrors! Pavel had to buy a new one straight away.
And that’s how Pavel’s love for bikes came to be! A story of a young teen adjusting to a new country and developing a need for speed. Just like his fast riding, Pavel also lives a fast lifestyle! With a packed schedule, he moves through life with a desire to try it all. Everyone looks forward to Pavel’s latest BL drama for 2022 Coffee Melody!
