TRESPASSING apparently, Why I don't chase Trends and other Rambles! 

What do you think of the track camera position? To cover some things off before anyone gets upset: I MAINLY meant ownership of beauty spots. I disagree with that as an Irish person where someone literally owns the Conor Pass, stuff like that I think should be owned by everyone, but I also do completely understand not wanting too many people near you and your stuff, trust me on that one!! Anyway, don't be upset, everyone has opinions, me included. Doesn't mean I'm correct :) Edit: I have also since learned about why the no trespassing signs are so prominent, I was not aware of that. Last edit, on the tree protection area I 100% understand and respect growing trees. I like trees, we should have more trees. I was just surprised by the more mahoosive signs etc.

The authenticity of your content is what makes it. Follow your heart on what your feel is best for you and your Chanel. I agree with most of your reasons for not turning your hobbies into a job. I too love all aspects of motorcycling including working on them ( I have the same bike and model year as yours (Z900RS - I love it!!) and have picked up ideas and pointers - Thanks for that!). My 2nd machine is a 2010 Ducati Streetfighter 1098S. It is one of the coolest and most visceral machines...but as you can imagine I always get the question....How do you handle the valve clearances and cost?.....Easy...I do it myself! I actually enjoy doing such work and I have had friends and fellow riders suggest I do such work on the side as I could make a few extra bucks.....as much as I enjoy getting into the beauty and simplicity of the demo valves and Testastretta engine (yeah, I'm that kind of Geek...lol), I don't want to turn something I enjoy into a job.... I work on my bikes because I enjoy the process and meditative like zone it puts me in..... To work on someone else's bike and be on a schedule to turn it around in a timely manner would diminish those qualities for me. When I work on my bikes, it is on my schedule and I take my time and enjoy and learn.....That time is for me.... and the reward is a well maintained machine that puts a huge smile on my face and is endless fun....So I think it is cool what you are doing.....It may sound cliche, but I think it is true - You, do You...And have fun Dude! 🍻😎😁

I get it, there are a lot of people that will mess with things that they shouldn't be. The sad part is all the signage is usually required to be able to have law enforcement help with it (depending on the jurisdiction of course). It is a little overboard sometimes but I get it. No one else is going to look out for you so you have to do all you can. As for going MOAR RU-vid? Eh, that's up to. Sounds like a lot of work that will take away from the fun you’re having now. But then I'm lazy as you well know. :)

Front mounted camera looks great! Imagine what Hollywood cinematographers from the 60s and 70s would have thought if they knew that in 50 short years, anyone with a few hundred bucks and a couple hours would be able to make footage that equaled what took them weeks and tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to produce! John Frankenheimer probably would have murdered someone to get his hands on a GoPro while he was making "Grand Prix" back in the 60s! 😄 As to editing for RU-vid, I've never quite understood the obsession with it. Looking too slick and overproduced is often a turn off. Too many motorcycle channels I see try to look like Top Gear, or something, when if they just talked about their bikes, experience, and opinions, it would be far more interesting and informative. Have a great weekend!

RU-vid becoming a vehicle for people to earn a living has ruined RU-vid. Stay free and independent of the algorithm. Make the content you want, not what's trending. My 2 cents...

Camera position look good mate. Someone local probably put the private property sign there to stop people littering the place up which usually happens in these areas.

Ooops, I pressed send half way through typing... I utterly agree, keep a seperation between work and play, if you turn a hobby into work, it will lose its fun. I like the start to finish thing with vlogging, it is personal if you have not just recorded the footage, but pieced it together yourself too. I'm too much of a bimbo to be able to do trending videos, I have no scooby what is cool or trending in the world. Everything is owned by someone it seems... is a real shame, I bet they would put curtains up to stop you seeing "their" view if they could.

Camera looks superb on the front! I'm in the same boat as you, not in it for the money. Any money I make goes straight back into the channel, I pay for youtube premium. If my ad revenue covers that I'm chuffed! However, being on trend or revelant is nice. I have gained lots of views and subscribers in my hunt for the V-STROM.

Good ramblings again! Camera position looks good for track 👍 I use RU-vid for... how to, what's it like, why have, do I really need, could I do (eg for bikes: track, trip, maintenance). Then I apply an "idiot filter" and, hopefully, end up with a sensible channel to watch. As a bonus, it may be entertaining too!!! OC - I suppose signs are cheaper than fences?? As you've previously mentioned, not many fences about in the US... Keep em coming, cheers, Andy.

It is a great angle, but might be worth turning down the stabilisation a little as it is quite floaty and lags on the turns a tad. I'd love it if RU-vid paid in profiteroles 😛 Ooo, you had your own big bird.... big birds ARE cool indeedy!

Hey, name is Lucas I live in Raleigh so I assume when you say Clayton it is right next door ;). I have a 2021 z900rs cafe so if you are heading for a ride sometime it would be awesome to meet up. Love the content keep it up!!

Please do not take the two RU-vidrs you mentioned as role models I cannot stand either of them 🤣. The No Trespassing thing is odd wherever it is. If you don't want people to enter build a fence that prevents access. Strange these signs are a thing in the USA where so few people have fences or walls around their gardens. I come here because of the random nature of the videos, and not for the professionalism. If I want to watch a film I go the cinema. Another interesting ramble. Thank you. 👍

You're riding about an hour from my hometown! I used to deliver Coca Cola up there in Clayton. Thanks for the video

Your videos are great, i really enjoy them. Totally agree about the no trespassing signs and all the litigation, land of the free my arse. For me, I'd love to make a few quid from RU-vid and have a little part time job/income from it when it comes to retirement age, but I'm going to really have to improve them a lot first.

the days of making money on youtube are done, theres a reason why the large ones shill products(cough chaseontwowheels, TMF cough) or have multiple revenue streams like making tshirts etc etc. The problem is chasing numbers and following trends, that takes the fun out of it, it's like playing an unfun game like elden ring. The stuff that people enjoy is authenticity and you provide that in abundance.

Get off my lawn!

Personal preference . I have never been a fan of Dunlop's . The Tyre I use on my bikes are Metzeler M 7 RR if you can get them .They have now been super seated by Metzeler M 9RR . These tyres were developed by Metzeler and Guy Martin at the Isle of Man . Good grip on all paved surfaces ,wet or dry and good mileage.
