Rather than amassing 10 million aim less followers, focusing on fostering a community of 10,000 genuine supporters is key to making a meaningful impact.
Damn this brings back memories! Vikas/OggyF/Pistonhearted/TollFreeTraveller and few more all 100% motorcyclists at heart❤ Then Bombay Nickel happened and the rest is Chapri history of Indian motorcycle scenes. Worst part, been riding motorcycles solo for 14+yrs now .Only to be stopped at a random highway by some young dafuq motovlogger who was quick to give me tips that I never asked and for gyan abt upgrading to better motorcycle which I didn’t ask him to assess for me. Indian biking scenes apart from North east biking clubs are dead and dusted. My humble opinion. Thank u both once again for this wonderful podcast❤
1:31:55 This prevailing approach and attitude amongst the majority, i feel, is the prime factor towards RU-vid and online video portals becoming a toxic place to be from the perspective of a creator as well as a consumer. I became your follower through my father constantly followed your content and i have learnt a lot from you regarding the technical aspects of riding and the mindset one must have while riding. Looking forward to more podcasts and some actual, much needed "pest control" in the future.
46:44 Seen many cases like this. 😢 Same happened to my friend when he reached to get his NS200 delivery. The moment he reached the dealership he noticed that same colour motorcycle he saw yesterday in our locality on road with a guy and sad part is that our friend who worked there told that his doubt is correct on dealership, They give motorcycles to youtubers. It was really disappointing,after ton of discussion they accepted their fault.
Was lucky enough to meet you and ride together at Kari track. What a personality. Every word coming out of your mouth drooled of your passion for bikes ✅❤️
“No-Nonsense”, “No-Fair’n’Lovely promotion”, “No teen patti app promotion”, “No street food promotion”. Just a straight forward 100% genuine biker content is what we get from the legend “VIKAS RACHAMALLA” I started off with Honda Dio(scooter) and today with a BMW f850 GSA is all because of our guru “Vikas Anna”, have been following since I was young. Many motovloggers have come and vanished into the woods. But Vikas Anna is something different, that’s why he’s still here with consistent and non nonsense content, which is helping our biker community. Many must have forgotten his blue Yamaha R1, but I still remember each every frame of it. He’s among those who can ride a mad super bikes which do not have any ABS, TCS, idli-sambar etc.He has the potential of understanding a bike end to end (be it engine, chassis, ECU, brakes, what not. Many don’t even know what is what and they just hop on twist the throttle). I am a 37yr old and I am proud being a true follower and student of you Vikas Anna, will always learn something new in each vlog. Infact this podcast is a major eye opener for many. Thanks for everything what you have been doing Anna. -Godspeed
Excellent Video Sir Sir please make videos on legendary raw bikes which don’t comes with electronics and have more value then new electronic Cars & Bikes So people will value old legendary Machine
Thanks for the wonderful podcast and posting some real contents. - Royal Jordanian - Vikas - Zohair - Toll free traveller - Oggy f - itchy boots - Strell All of them are genuine moto vloggers. Will never forget them.
You are a great inspiration and huge respect for the things you are doing for the real motovloging community. The thing that hit me the most was the sagar shikder part❤❤ please if possible do a podcast with zohair Ahmed also 🙌
The video is really great. I'm interested in traveling & motorcycling, thought of starting a motovlogging channel in 2019, but couldn't do that because of my profession. My interest in riding or making a video of it never faded, but watching all the current content creators of motovlogginig in India, somehow I was loosing my interest. Thanks for the video Vikas bro... There is a lot of information and lot of doubts in my mind were cleared. The part i loved the most in the video is you explaining the difference between making motovlogging profession and maintaining it a hobby. I'm not a past subscriber of you but I'm now because of this video 😅😊😅😅😊
Rachamalla Sir ! i followed you since your ktm RC days and informative videos. I have learned a lot from that. Even in this podcast you resonate on ethics & morals as human being, for what ever activity/hobby or profession you are in people should not forget these gems . Hats off to you Sir!! Respect has grown deeper
Well. I guess your knowledge answers the biggest complaint of manufacturers not launching bikes between 400 to 800 cc. Bikes need to sell. And you can't sell it to experts only. You will need electronics to launch it to mass market who have little experience handling those bigger machines. Which isn't cheap.
"Super bikes pulled over by cops " this is the first video i watched in vikas Bhai channel then literally banged the subscribe button. This how slowly vikas Bhai became my favourite moto vlogger
Please check Ducaman's garage review of Ducati Scam in India, Bangalore showroom, reported in newspaper as well....Day light robbery of 5 crores from customers...
Exactly instead of moto vlogging, it is short term excitement creation to grab attention... I asked one youtuber, " hey who asked for your opinion & what makes you eligible to review these bikes, are you a mechanical enginer or you have some degree to do that? He said, i am " ENGINEER, if you like video that is ok otherwise you don't see.. 😅😅 I said if you are an engineer then tell my why Honda engines are so smooth then other competitors... He forgot all his engineering & said " mujhse galti ho gayi"😊
1:11:52 literally every instagram reel about motorcycles is all about riding fast, dying fast all that bullcrap, nothing frustrates me more than watching reels of people either crashing their bikes and gaining sympathy from other brain dead chappris or just other brain dead people on bikes encouraging and calling others a pussy for not riding fast enough. I wanted to start my own youtube channel for my own inner satisfaction and habit of recording everything and i very much will regardless of where it takes me
Thats why genuine people even if they have less subs, get more attention from brands than many many generic guys whose content is utter garbage but have huge numbers.
Regarding sale of badly ridden bikes, yes, many times it happens. It happened with me. I never got ARAI mileage from that bike so I thought it is like that only. But later on, when the cylinder kit was replaced under warranty (😄), after that, I got 1.3~1.4 times of ARAI mileage (30%~40% more mileage than ARAI). Then I came to the conclusion that why 90% of the bikes don't give ARAI mileage as they are not only test ridden by the idiots, but also ridden badly by showroom idiots during PDI.
Regarding engine oil. Just check they have a good flash point of 220+. I am using HP Racer Skutex in my scooter. It has flash point of 230 C and costed me around Rs 170 for 800 ml. HP Racer Skutex is performing far better than Motul scooter LE (which has flash point of only 206 C). I have checked the Technical Data Sheet of HP racer Skutex and found below: "...Based on Group II mineral..."
