- What goes into making a video and how do I find time to keep a TH-cam channel running while still having a full time job and a family at home. It takes a lot of work and dedication and very little sleep as I am writing this description at 1:30 AM Friday, a day before this video goes live because tomorrow on Saturday I'm heading out to film more videos. It's a never ending cycle but I love it!

NOTE TO THE BOSS: Alex single handedly made me consider Sym instead of a Honda. He’s a great ambassadeur 🎉 thank you for letting him do his thing, y’all awesome 🙌
I second this. Sym was not on my radar at all.
Which Honda you were considering and which Sym did you buy? I had terrible experience with the Taiwanese both Sym and Kymco
@@strezification what happened?
@@comedyman112 First i had brand new 2022 Kymco Xciting 400 which on low speeds when you pulling to a roundabout or pedestrian crossing it would shut down itself in middle of driving when you are about at 5-10 km/h. Not always, just randomly once in a while which has put me in very dangerous situations couple of times. I have sold that one and got brand new Sym Tl 508 2023. In a year it has drained 3 batteries and i have the 4th one now. It drains the batteries too much and the problem is with the keyless system. Also i had troubles starting it with the new battery as well and when i did white smoke came out and i noticed it has burnt half of the oil inside... Disaster i would say for premium scooters that cost 8, 9 thousand euros. Next one that i'm gonna get is gonna be Honda Forza 750 with hopes that i will have no more headaches
@@comedyman112 First i had brand new 2022 Kymco Xciting 400 which after 2000 km started shutting off itself randomly when you are about to stop at around 5-10 km/h. Not always but like once in a week but it still too much since it put me in dangerous situations a couple of times. Then a sold that one and bought Sym TL 508 also brand new. It drained 3 batteries ao far and now i have put him the 4th one. On the forth one it barely started and when it did white smoke came out of the exaust and i've noticed that half of the oil was burnt. For both Kymco and Sym unacceptable for scooters that cost 8, 9 thousand euros. I'm gonna sell the Sym as well and and gonna buy myself Japan made Honda. I'm not trusting anyone anymore. In the past i had also had the Italians Piaggio Beverly, Gilera Nexus and Aprilia Scarabeo before the Taiwanese appered on the market. Italians are even worse than the Taiwanese. On the Piaggio the wheel almost fell off because of rusted bolt... on a brand new scooter. Japanese are my last resort otherwise i'm about to give up on driving motorcycles because of my bad luck with most of the brands
Thank you for your videos Alex. You work really hard and the quality of the end product shines through. Keep up the good work and greetings from a fellow scooter enthusiast in Turkey!
Thank you!
Thank you to Alex's for being so generous. Hope your business keeps flourishing

I enjoyed watching this video!
And I'm looking forward to watching the repair video, Donny
Oh lovely, just open up youtube to find a new video from you. Making some coffee and then shall watch. Thanks for getting back to me yesterday on FB when I asked about wiring for my quadlock.

Greetings from a small island called Reunion in the indian ocean
Doing TH-cam is a hard job. You combine everything very well. That is great. I enjoyed the video. Keep going mate. Cheers.
Thank you.
Thank you so very much
Love you Brother - Super Hard Worker with Family! I appreciate your employer supporting your efforts.. (Maybe even a raise for Alex..:)) Alex you have definitely brought the SYM brand out of the shadows for me, and I will consider it for my next Touring MAXI from my 2023 KYMCO A-Town. Thank you Alex for all you and your Family whom support you do! I have 6 kids and do know the Balancing act is a tough one. Peace Out!
It was watching his videos that made me buy a Cruisym.
Hello there Alex!
What else could I say after such a relaxing video: Thank you very much to Moto Sfera for supporting the realization of your dreams to such an extent!😊😊 Truly.
You produce various content, but these chilling ones and touring ones are the best.😊
It was great to see Donnie, but his sound is reeeeeeally bad.😢😢
Since you are still at work now, because its saturday, hold on, it's almost over!🎉
Be bad.
Just received my new windshield from china for the adx. Brilliant investment as it does exactly what its says on the tin. Thanks for the recommendation AL. Keep up the good work dude.
Awesome, glad you like it 😁
Your Boss is wonderful for allowing you to film 😁
Great to see Donnie (needs surgery)
Great video Alex
🙏🇹🇭
He defenetly needs some work 😁
Nice one Alex...Always enjoyable watching your videos mate...Hope your having a good weekend 🙂
Thank you! 😁
Keep up the good work ALEX all the best from Stranraer Scotland
Dobar posao, nastavi da se trudiš!
Yep! Ya do whacha gotta do & wanna do cause you don’t know any different or other way. That’s the way it is.👍🏻 GOOD FOR YOU‼ Carry on, you’re doing great. Best, Rola (Oregon / USA).
The grinding never stops 😎
@@RideWithAlex Pace yourself now & again? (Yes, an occasional break in the routine is called for to refresh your mind, body, spirit & soul). Carry on / R👍🏻
I just got a new SYM Fiddle 4 200i. I bought a rear SYM case/trunk and a windscreen. Once it’s all mounted, I’m looking forward to some camping. This is my third SYM. ✌️
Awesome 😁😁😁
Watching you take the bodywork off a scooter reminds me why l bought a naked bike. 😅😅 Fair play. ✌️
True :))
Спасибо! Успеха на пути к мечте!!!
💪👍
Yesterday i saw the price of adx 400.. 200€ cheaper than honda adv 350... Im disappointed about that... G368 1k cheaper than adx... Im waiting your opinion about zontes g368, and i think that this ll be my choice...
I see there in the background an XDV. Can you do a presentation and a review of that as well? Maybe a comparison with the ADX. I would be interested. Cheers.
There will bena full video on that after EICMA. It's the Daytona Virtus 125.
Hi Alex excellent videos !!i have a general technical question as i m new in scooter riding .I notice steering wobble at certain speed 65kph .Many said it is because of the top case i have .What is your experience ?what should i look for?thanks in advance!!!
Most scooters have a bit of a head shake and causes can be many:
- General scooter design geometry
- Front wheel out of balance
- Front tire worn out
- Front fork legs worn out
- Neck bearing on their way out
- Rear suspension bushings going out
- Incorrect tire pressure
@RideWithAlex thanks for the reply !so top case is not a common cause as i was told?i should look for something faulty as you listed ?
@rottweil74 top case can be if it's heavy enough to move the center of gravity far back. You should see differences in how the wobble happens depending on how much weight you have in the top case.
Hello my Friend!
I have a New Maxsym GT and I put Aoocci too.
How custom logo when you turn on the navigator?
Sorry by my English 😅
My version Aoocci is C6
You have to talk to Aoocci for the custom logo, I send the logo before they sent the device and they did it.
Ooook! Thanks man!
Those chilly mornings down in the south looks like so much misery. Heard about your humour all long time ago
Can you please tell me how you mount the rear camera? I have exactly the same scooter and I have ordered the same aoocci screen one week ago. Also for the front camera you drilled the heat sink of the headlight to mount it there with screws?
Rear camera I drilled a whole in the exact position I needed. Then I used it's it's base with double sided tape to glue on the inside. The front camera yes it's screwed on into the headlight housing with plastic screws but it's not the heat sink.
@@RideWithAlex Ok, thank you very much for the valuable advice dear friend. I would try the same method like yours.
Alex, tell me, what kind of warm mittens do you wear when you ride Donny in winter?
Oxford heated grips and my Odin leather gloves, , that's it.
Hopefully, your boss will see all these wonderful comments. Does work? Play any clips of your videos at work to help with selling scooters. The road trip on David springs to mind. When you were heading back from the bike show, would you think that might help sell a few ADX 125
A lot of people that walk into the showroom know my channel, it does help to bring brand awareness 😁
You have simply wonderful bosses! Did you manage to get the TPMS working?
I'm getting a new set sent in under warranty, they were very quick to reply.
You change your sym symphony for this new zontes? How its posibble! You are a SYM scooters fan!🎉
:)) I'm not what you would call a fan of any brand, I just like well made and competitively priced vehicles, that can get the job done for very little money. I still have the Sym, I have both of them the Sym and the Zontes :)
Mista PEPE ONZIMA!
❤️⚔️🍀
It's not cold there. 🇸🇪
Defenetly not as cold as Scandinavia
@@RideWithAlex
🥶
Nu stiu cum reusesti sa le echilibrezi pe toate 3,eu n-am mai avut timp sa postez pe canalul meu de vreo 3 luni. Abia astept sa fur niste timp de undeva. Eram mare gamer,am taiat de acolo si am dat timpul iubitei si carierei,acuma imi cere din ce in ce mai mult timp cariera si imi mai ramane doar pentru iubita(prea putin in opinia ei). Pe parinti ii vad foarte rar,la youtube nici nu mai am timp sa ma gandesc. Spor!
Tăiat mult somn și timp liber pt mine :))
12:48 unorthodox? In Romania? With that beard? Impossible ! ☦️
😂😂
Știam că la voi sâmbătă este închis. S a schimbat programul?
Vara avem program de sambata, dar weekendul trecut a fost ultimul weekend deschis, de acum e inchis. Verifica mereu site-ul.
salut. stau la bloc si vreau sa-mi iau un scuter in viitorul apropiat. as vrea sa stiu daca ai avut vreodata probleme cu furtul din moment ce vad ca nu legi scuterul de nimic peste noapte
Nici o problema, doar ghidonul blocat.
@@RideWithAlex deci nu are rost sa instalez carlig in beton
@@comedyman112 eu nu am considerat ca ar fi o necesitate. Acum tu știi mai bine unde stai și ce se întâmplă în zona ta.
where is Brutus??? i want to see him.
You will, soon, have to get his road inspection done.
Alex, no offence, but you're boring. The clicbait title won't help. You'll never become Joe Rogan of YT, much less the the king of fringe what is the motorcycle market. ..and even within that group you don't stand a chance with good looks of Noraly.
Stick with 125 reviews and be happy with the niche.
My most successful video of all time is with the 2024 Honda Goldwing. And it's still clocking over 500 views per day, but ok I guess you know best 😁
