I'm a 54 year old man thar never comments, but this video had me in floods of tears. You have to believe this, but you are inspirational. Getting knocked down happens to us all but the strong not only get back up again but thrive and make progress. You have been lower than most, and soared higher than most and the world NEEDS to hear your laughter again. You are not alone, please never be afraid to ask for help from your personal cheerleaders, we are not only here to watch your life, but to help in anyway we can. We live vicariously through you, so we need you as much as you need us. Be fierce and inspirational x
The story of the Prodigal Son/Daughter should be understood by Everyone. You have to face life's Minefields , you have to walk through the Shadow of Death. Nothing is Accomplished by hiding away from your fears , until you face them you will never grow as a person It's not easy but the rewards are great , you don't want to get Old and have nothing but Regrets you never took the Journey The first small step is far greater than the Last !!!!!
@@SaffySprocket well you've inspired me to sort out my camping gear and start going out a couple of times a month instead of just sitting on my fat bum watching TV when I'm not at work. I've found that I sleep far better in a tent after a bit of adventure than I do in my own bed.
@@stevewesley3841 People really overlook the benefits of camping on your body clock! I'm usually a night owl, but when I'm alone in nature I always rise and sleep with the sun
As a 30 year motorcycling Paramedic, with 20 of that at the TT, I know bikes can so easily take lives. However, I also know that bikes can be a "lifesaver" for so many and keep them sane, grounded and in control. I feel sorry for people who go through their whole lives without ever experiencing what riding a motorcycle can give you.
If you die on a bike or other circumstances its just karma! Taking stupid risks can speed up such bad karma. Stay safe, ride free, live forever like Highlander.
@paramarky WOW. Congrats on that work! I did 5 years of local first responder/ EMT. It's good for me to remember that you are out there. I just got back on the moto after accident 28 years ago.. Moto paramedic... wow!
Saffy, I'm an old grumpy bastard who's back in the lowest points. However, I've followed you because of your beautiful honesty for your highs & lows. I've forwarded this to my 19 year old daughter, to show her how she can overcome her stress. You have an inner strength that is wonderful to watch. I've been homeless, I came back & got my degree, married (divorced now 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️), 2 wonderful children (now adults). Thank you for being so honest & you. Never change, you are the best 👍❤️
Poignant. I'm in a similar difficult position in life. I came back to owning a motorcycle after a mere 40 years, and every ride out into the countryside just charges my batteries. I had forgotten the simple but sheer joy of the whoosh and sweep along a nice country lane. I have started a - very - modest YT channel, and although I slip in the odd non motorcycle video, it is primarily about just having a motorcycle. The Zen of it all. I'm old, my health is sadly failing, so adventures around Europe are a non-starter, my camera equipment is basic, and yet while I can, I enjoy my bike and I am alive instead of just existing and struggling. So, a very relevant and poignant video you have made, here, that will resonate with many like-minded souls.
I started with a £20 knock off action camera, a mobile phone that had more cracks than a volcano and no biking experience. You do not need to buy expensive equipment, you just need to focus on enjoying the moment and not spending money on gear! Everything else will naturally fall into place
it baffles me that a person who's been through depression and dark times lik you Saffy ends up to be a bundle of sunshine and joy. keep doing what you're doing
That's easy, because those who feel like that are funny and crazy and humorous because they know what the dark feels like and don't want anyone else to feel like that 🙏🏻
@@MrDosSantos991 oh yeah I understand that, I simply meant that people like Robin Williams knew what the depth of depression was and worked hard to make others laugh so as not to feel as he felt 👍🏻
When your going through hell just keep going. Ive been there, I have lost everything and crawled out the hole, Im still building things up now with a youtube channel and riding my bike every second I get, on road and off road, UK and into europe every year often riding alone, you cant beat it. Well done for the hard work and ploughing forward.
@@curtis164she’s literally posted about what she’s going through at the minute and the first chance to take a swipe at her you do. Hope you feel proud of yourself.
@@NickyLong89 In my opinion, you can still say thank you when you receive support, even if you are in a dramatic personal situation. This has something to do with respect and good upbringing. If there is enough time to produce a TH-cam video, you can at least leave a short feedback to the monetary supporters. That's how I was raised. I think everyone has been in a miserable situation in their life and hopefully had people to help them. Would it be your behavior to accept help and not even say thank you?
@@curtis164 I’m sure she hasn’t done it on purpose. I like to see the best in people rather than instantly think the worst in people. You should try it.
Welcome back Saff.... we've all missed you so much. Hope you are fully healed. I can relate to losing your sister. I lost my brother just before Christmas the year before last. Ironically he left me some money and I spent it on a motorbike, found you and UsernameKate on here and you both became my inspiration to get out there and enjoy life. I owe you so much. Keep your chin up, keep giggling and being a nutter and we will all get through anything life can throw at us, good and bad. Ride Safe. Be Safe.
You keep fighting Saffy! We all love you and I’m so very proud of you for all you’ve done, are doing and will continue to do. It’s weird I’m a 53 year old man from Australia and I have a father’s pride in everything you do. I know there’s many of us that watch your channel that feel like you are family. Take care, stay strong and remember we all love you champion.
We're not judged by how we fall, but by how we get up. You're a born survivor Saffy and a great inspiration to other people going through hard times. I wish I could be as candid and as honest as you.
Welcome back flower, pleased to see you rock up on here again. I've said for many years that bikes are so good for mental health. The doctor should prescribe a ride to the coast 👍
Bloody Hell wasn't expecting that, all emotional now, I just want to give you a big hug, and tell that me and no doubt many thousands who watch your crazy adventures are rooting for you.
Getting quiet, that's how I've been watching your channel for hours. How beautiful the humanity you show without hesitation, tears of happiness tears of sorrow. All summed up on and with your motorcycle.
Never be afraid to ask for help Saffron, as you have so many friends who care about you so much, i am sure you do not realise this but it is definitely true.
I'm so lucky to have so many friends who looked after me! Sometimes pride gets in the way though :-) But my circle of friends grew and grew very quickly when I became a biker!
There is always help and support in the biking community, this is only a blip, you will recover from this and will emerge stronger than ever, reach out Saffy, and another chapter begins xx ❤
I just watched this video. And I am sorry. I am a biker, and friend too. I also know what it means to be broke, or struggling otherwise. So to use your network of people you know will help a lot. Life of Brian "always look on the bright side of life"... Yeah right. Not always that easy... But...
Saffy, a truly inspirational and honest video. Had me in tears. I am a 60 plus guy with 3 daughters, I would be truly proud of you if you were one of mine. Keep on riding!
The guts and courage it has taken to film this, never mind actually publishing it, is incredible and should not be underestimated... You're doing amazing, you are amazing, keep going Saffy! As others have said the only way is up... You truly are an inspiration for others as I hope you can see from all the messages people have left. You've certainly given me a kick up the arse....
Thank you for letting us share your journey, all the sad, lonely, happy and crazy times you’ve spent on the road. You are amazing, you are the phoenix 💪 bless you Saffy xx
Aw, your comment just made my day! I'm so glad I could bring a little happiness to your morning. Sending you all the good vibes and positivity right back! 😊💖
I was not expecting this to be such a raw yet uplifting video. What an amazing and terrible journey. Thank you for sharing it with all of use and everyone of the 75k people who watched this video so far...they are all cheering you on.
That was such a raw, moving, heartbreaking but hope inspired piece of film. Thank you for having the courage to be so honest. You'll never know how many people you've made a difference to by sharing that.
Wow! I had no idea that this is how you started! This is the most amazing, inspiring and genuine video I’ve ever watched. Thank you 🙏🏻 and congratulations on all you amazing achievements! Keep being you miss sprocket! 🥰
@@SaffySprocket I saw you at the NEC last year I really wish I’d said hi but you looked busy and I was so nervous, I hope your there this year, I’d love to get you a red bull and chat bikes 🤞🏻
What a great story. I could recognize myself in it more than one time, and I am happy to say that I can embrace the "very thing that kept me together all these years" just as much as you do. We are lucky people, dear Saffy. All the best for your future! Love G
Ive been riding since i was 17, im now 57 but ive had problems with my legs for 3 years. I didnt realise just how depressed i was until i managed to ride my bike to the MOT garage 2 weeks ago. Wow what a feeling. No more depression and its nice to see its still pissing down with rain!😂
The good thing about being all the way down is there is no place to go but up; and nothing holding your back. You have nothing to loose. Sometimes you are trapped by the things you have.
YES! There is so much power when you are in a place where you have nothing to lose. Looking back it was an amazing time in my life, it was a time when I could have become anyone. It's hard to appreciate that when you're so busy focusing on short term worries
Everybody has a story. Thanks for sharing yours, Saffy. Sorry to hear about the tragedy in your life but glad to see you overcome it. Keep your dream alive and keep on riding. Love from Australia 🇦🇺, Andy
Saffy, what a rollercoaster this video was...... I've been following your channel for years now and you inspired me to get my bike licence, and have been riding for a year now. You're always an inspiration, through the ups and downs you keep smiling, and I hope you know how important you are to the biking community! We've missed you and hope you're ready to come back!
I've NEVER commented on ANY you tube video, I'm an old hack that's travelled the world, hardened to life via various situations. You're story, you're enthusiasm for life, is inspirational. You are a star, shining brighter than any other. You broke an old hardened heart!..... Everyday is a school day. Stop learning! Stop living.
You are an inspiration to so many and a shining light on the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit. Ride safe and know that so many people are living their lives vicariously through your endeavours.
Aww keep you head high and keep going saff its great to see you posting again cant wait to see the adventures you chose this year thoughts hugs n all wishes be with you 🧡🧡
Great to have you back Saffy. Never give up, keep getting back up more determined than before. Hope your recovery is going well, looking forward to the next chapter of your journey ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 . Laughter is the best medicine.
Hi Saffron so nice to see you back, hope all is good and you are on the mend now, look forward to watching you especially as the weather is slowly starting to be a little better now. As always Saffron take care and ride safe.😊
I cannot say anymore than what has already been said, but thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations with us. We never know what people have had to endure to reach the place where they are. It's so good have you back Saffy.😀👍🏍
This is a great life lesson :-) you don't know other people's stories, and even if you do, their decisions are always half chance, it's important to be kind for this very reason. I remember once having a women be very rude to me in a queue, later that day after hiking I walked into a public toilet to find her crying because her daughter had died. Her rudeness wasn't excusable but it made me realise sometimes people have bigger things going on in their life and their bad actions to you aren't always intentional
Your BEST Vlog so Far, You are absolutely amazing, you have achieved so much. You have done the hard bit already, showing yourself that way out. No matter how many times life throws you these bad moments you have proved to yourself that you can always get back to a much better place. One foot in front of the other, little steps and you will be back but better than ever. You are truly AMAZING .
"Some day i became the person i pretended to be" that is genuinely such an honest statement. The quote "fake it till you make it" it sounds like bull shit, like some toxic trait, but its actually a genuinely real and healthy way to work on yourself. For me when i was younger i was extremely shy and insecure. In the last couple years of high school i chose to pretend to be confident, and at some point I dont know when, i just became confident If you wanna be something youre not. Try just faking it. Eventually, you'll likely become that thing
you are one genuine bright young fun lady, never give up! we are all behind you, speaking for myself at the mo :) but you know what i mean, keep it up!
What a story. Sorry to hear about your sister. Well done you, on bouncing back from all those problems! Remember, you have friends and admirers all over the place now!
I usually don't comment, but before watch your video I only have 1 thing to say... Incredible history for an amazing girl, you are inspirational keep going on.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Biking really is something special, isn't it? It's more than just a mode of transportation - it's a lifestyle, a passion, a freedom unlike any other. I'm truly grateful to be back on two wheels and feeling alive again.
Oh my, I never would have guessed you've had it so tough, my heart goes out to you. So happy you're back on the tubes ad on the mend. I've just signed up to your patreon, hope it contributes in some small way to you getting to wherever you want to be.
I was very secretive about my life in the early days, it was far easier to pretend I wasn't having a bad time than it was to accept what was going on, it's only once I got more confident in myself I started to open up more and more :-)
Dam, I couldn't even get through the first 5 mins of that. Had me in tears. I'm so sorry for all you have been through. Make me realise how luck we all are. I'll be back to watch the rest once I've regained composure.
@@SaffySprocket Dearest - Its nice hearing from yu - Please, please see if you can get a team or at least another person to ride with - Please ! Maybe Facebook might have groups in your area that would be interested in your adventures -and would want to ride and camp with you !
Emotional and inspirational journey of all you've been through. So glad you're back, have missed your videos and the joy in them. Motorcycles are life!
Well I wasn't expecting THAT Miss Sprocket!!!! Absolutely amazing story stressing the importance of having enough self-understanding to know what makes you tick, what is most important and brings the most consistent pleasure into your life. And Bikes are where its at!!! 👍👍 😁
30000+ Sprocketeers rooting for you Saffy. Im prevented from riding a bike by spinal injuries ( thought a Tri-city would work out but nah) so relying on channels like yours and the car to enjoy the open road. Keep strong Saffron, great you are back. 🎉
You are an absolute inspiration to so many, keep going, you will achieve great things, there is so much love for you out there. I'm 55 this year and you are doing all the things I wish I had had the balls to do when I was younger. Keep smiling and ride safe.
I watched your vid, ...and was truly heartbroken by the struggles you have endured. I have been a biker for 44 years, and i know where your heart is, all true bikers do. I so hope your luck changes for the better, and remember, its not weak or a failure to ask for help, this and the biking community will come to you aid if you shout loud enough. Take care, and ride safe!😊
5:18 I feel so spoiled if I listen to this infectious laughter that I only seem to be able to enjoy accelerating hard on an expensive and very powerful motorcycle. You are blessed.
You're never alone as a biker Saffy, good Bikers will always help another biker, we're all just friends that are yet to meet. Never worry about asking for help or support. Well done on perseverance through unmanageable tough times. Ride, enjoy, smile, repeat!
Maybe this is only another comment more, but I felt touched by this video. And perhaps that’s why I love your channel, you are real, with your ups and downs, struggles and victories and you share it with us as it is. I remembered being in similar situations, no money, no food, no hope. I had to sell many things (including my bike) and look for better luck in a different country, leaving family and friends behind. Never stop fighting and never stop doing what you like the most, in one way or another. If you follow your passion, everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing this with us and for being an inspiration. I hope all settle down for you and you find the happiness you deserve.
Saffy, you are one tough lady and so determined and driven yet soft and caring, you my dear are amazing to go through all that and to just keep going. I wish you all the best in everything you do, keep reaching for the stars 😊
You are an inspiration Saffy you keep striving and keep laughing. When you are a Biker you are never alone you belong to the biggest family in the world. I have just lost my father an old skool biker and Veteran. And you should have seen the send off he got. The amount of Bikers that turned up to ride him to the crematorium. I rode along side them all and it was heart warming.
Wow, what an inspirational woman you are. Coming back from your troubled times and having the determination to live your dreams on your bike. Love watching your channel. Keep it up saffy 👍👍😱👍
I tried for years to get my father to understand why i love motorcycles. I never got him to understand. So we never got on. But you just said everything I tried to tell him in 12 minutes of video. This video has made me feel a lot better, now and always knowing, i am not the only one, who loves motorcycles.
Aw, thank you so much! Your kind words mean the world to me. Sending lots of love and best wishes right back to you from wherever the road takes me! 🏴💖🏍️
Dear Saffy, this has so cheered me, inspired me....I'm at the older end of life, post illness I've struggled with my direction, I'dalways been a doer and go get type...but you've reminded me it's not over and it's all for me out there....just got to dust myself off again...love and blessings to you and thank-you.🙏🙏🙏
Saffy. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming video. You have overcome such adversity to be in a better place in your life and became a better and lovely person for it. You are indeed an inspiration for overcoming depression, tragedy and homelessness to become such an inspiring role model. I lost my mom 6 years ago and I can relate to losing someone close to you. Love you Saffy and never give up and you will always be a great lady. Glad to have you back. ♥💋
I hope it can give others the courage to keep going ❤️ It's not uncommon to have a bad time as much as social media makes us think everyone's life is all rainbows
@@SaffySprocket Totally Saffy. It is not everyday that we see videos that show realness and humility whereas most motorcycle videos are mostly for show...and not much else. You are indeed wonderful. ♥
What a story. Really inspiring. I'm at a really low point in my life, and it's good to see other people reach their goals, even if there are ups and downs in life. Keep going, we are stronger than we think. Greetings from Germany! ✌❤
Sorry you're having a rough time! Something that really helped me get through the really bad days was scheduling a good ugly crying session (I wish I was joking 🤣) but I'd usually sit in the shower 2 or 3 times a week and just full on ugly crying with zero shame, like a banshee some days, then I would get out and carry on as usual. It sounds weird but scheduling sad time really helps you to compartmentalize things so it doesn't rule your life!
I and I'm sure as are your thousands of followers are so glad you're back, your infectious ability to keep going when things get tough, we all admire you and wish and look forward to more from you, we care alot for your welfare ❤🏍
Thanks for sharing your story Saffy. It touches us all, each probably in a different way but with the same message of perseverance and hope and ultimately joy in life. I think someone is watching over you Saffy. Ride safe.

You have to face life's Minefields , you have to walk through the Shadow of Death.
Nothing is Accomplished by hiding away from your fears , until you face them you will never grow as a person

The first small step is far greater than the Last !!!!!
There are 30,000 of us wishing you well and cheering you on ......
I couldn't wish for anything more :-) My biker family has been the driving force behind my achievements!

@@SaffySprocket I saw you at the NEC last year I really wish I’d said hi but you looked busy and I was so nervous, I hope your there this year, I’d love to get you a red bull and chat bikes 🤞🏻
Well done Saffy, great to see you back - we've missed you x
What a great story. I could recognize myself in it more than one time, and I am happy to say that I can embrace the "very thing that kept me together all these years" just as much as you do. We are lucky people, dear Saffy. All the best for your future! Love G
Ive been riding since i was 17, im now 57 but ive had problems with my legs for 3 years. I didnt realise just how depressed i was until i managed to ride my bike to the MOT garage 2 weeks ago. Wow what a feeling. No more depression and its nice to see its still pissing down with rain!😂
It's the sad times that break us but they are also the times that make us. Hang in there Saffy, you're a star. Keep biking..
Life is a rollercoaster 🌟🎢 even the bad times are worth living
The good thing about being all the way down is there is no place to go but up; and nothing holding your back. You have nothing to loose. Sometimes you are trapped by the things you have.
YES! There is so much power when you are in a place where you have nothing to lose. Looking back it was an amazing time in my life, it was a time when I could have become anyone. It's hard to appreciate that when you're so busy focusing on short term worries
I am so glad you exist. Thank you Saffy.
T____T You are so sweet!
Everybody has a story. Thanks for sharing yours, Saffy. Sorry to hear about the tragedy in your life but glad to see you overcome it. Keep your dream alive and keep on riding. Love from Australia 🇦🇺, Andy
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 I'm excited for this next chapter of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Saffy, what a rollercoaster this video was...... I've been following your channel for years now and you inspired me to get my bike licence, and have been riding for a year now. You're always an inspiration, through the ups and downs you keep smiling, and I hope you know how important you are to the biking community! We've missed you and hope you're ready to come back!
I've NEVER commented on ANY you tube video, I'm an old hack that's travelled the world, hardened to life via various situations. You're story, you're enthusiasm for life, is inspirational.
You are a star, shining brighter than any other. You broke an old hardened heart!..... Everyday is a school day. Stop learning! Stop living.
Thank you so much 😭 I was so nervous to share my story but it felt like the right time!
Thanks, your amazing , keep doing what you do best “ Ride your motorcycle “❤
Thank you, I will 🥰😭 thank you so much for your support 💗🙏🏻
Been watching you for a while - picked up my SV650 on Saturday and at 34 years old it's the first thing I've genuinely been happy about.... :)
Best bike ever, you won't regret it!
Great to see ye back saffy , keep smilin , and keep her lit, we've missed ye 👍🏍
Stand back , take a breath , look how far you’ve come 😊 , take a bow young lady , everyone’s friend the ever smiling Saffy ❤
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You are an inspiration to so many and a shining light on the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit. Ride safe and know that so many people are living their lives vicariously through your endeavours.
Thank you for your story Saffy. You are a genuine, real and good person. Life is hard work seasoned with a relatively small amount of pure luck.
Aww keep you head high and keep going saff its great to see you posting again cant wait to see the adventures you chose this year thoughts hugs n all wishes be with you 🧡🧡
Great to have you back Saffy. Never give up, keep getting back up more determined than before. Hope your recovery is going well, looking forward to the next chapter of your journey ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 . Laughter is the best medicine.
You’re more special and stronger than you probably know, you get knocked down you get back up I think that’s fantastic and inspirational.
Hi Saffron so nice to see you back, hope all is good and you are on the mend now, look forward to watching you especially as the weather is slowly starting to be a little better now. As always Saffron take care and ride safe.😊
You are an inspiration to so many, didn’t realise you had it so tough. Love your graduation phot too 🤭
I cannot say anymore than what has already been said, but thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations with us. We never know what people have had to endure to reach the place where they are. It's so good have you back Saffy.😀👍🏍
This is a great life lesson :-) you don't know other people's stories, and even if you do, their decisions are always half chance, it's important to be kind for this very reason. I remember once having a women be very rude to me in a queue, later that day after hiking I walked into a public toilet to find her crying because her daughter had died. Her rudeness wasn't excusable but it made me realise sometimes people have bigger things going on in their life and their bad actions to you aren't always intentional
Onwards and upwards young lady, you are an inspiration to us all!
Thank you so much!
Good to see you back saffy, hope you're well 👍
I'm glad to be back :-)
Car is safe thrn bike yea @@SaffySprocket
Such an inspiration ... good things come to those that believe in themselves and work for it ... welcome back ❤
Yes! Thank you!
Hang in there Saffy. Your content is cheerful and enjoyable, always to see wholesome travel / bike videos.
Thank you so much for your support!
Your BEST Vlog so Far, You are absolutely amazing, you have achieved so much. You have done the hard bit already, showing yourself that way out. No matter how many times life throws you these bad moments you have proved to yourself that you can always get back to a much better place. One foot in front of the other, little steps and you will be back but better than ever. You are truly AMAZING .
"Some day i became the person i pretended to be" that is genuinely such an honest statement. The quote "fake it till you make it" it sounds like bull shit, like some toxic trait, but its actually a genuinely real and healthy way to work on yourself. For me when i was younger i was extremely shy and insecure. In the last couple years of high school i chose to pretend to be confident, and at some point I dont know when, i just became confident
If you wanna be something youre not. Try just faking it. Eventually, you'll likely become that thing
We got you Saffy. Ride on! 💪
you are one genuine bright young fun lady, never give up! we are all behind you, speaking for myself at the mo :) but you know what i mean, keep it up!
Thank you so much!!
What a story. Sorry to hear about your sister. Well done you, on bouncing back from all those problems! Remember, you have friends and admirers all over the place now!
Thank you so much 🥰 it is a lot easier now that I am a few years on from what I went through! It's a lot easier to talk about! Onwards and upwards!
To new adventures and beyond!!! You got this.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
@@SaffySprocket❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re a trooper, keep doing what you’re doing, we’re all behind you!
Good to have you back Saffy, just be true to yourself and try to enjoy life.❤
Thank you so much :D
Lots of love from India🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋@@SaffySprocket
I usually don't comment, but before watch your video I only have 1 thing to say... Incredible history for an amazing girl, you are inspirational keep going on.
Your a ray of sunshine in all the dull samey TH-cam channels Saffy. Glad you’re back. 👍❤️
I'm genuinely so happy to be back!
@@SaffySprocket❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a biker and the love of biking is amazing. Your story touched me. Your an amazing lady glad you're full of life now
Thank you so much for your kind words! Biking really is something special, isn't it? It's more than just a mode of transportation - it's a lifestyle, a passion, a freedom unlike any other. I'm truly grateful to be back on two wheels and feeling alive again.
Oh my, I never would have guessed you've had it so tough, my heart goes out to you. So happy you're back on the tubes ad on the mend. I've just signed up to your patreon, hope it contributes in some small way to you getting to wherever you want to be.
I was very secretive about my life in the early days, it was far easier to pretend I wasn't having a bad time than it was to accept what was going on, it's only once I got more confident in myself I started to open up more and more :-)
@@SaffySprocket"Fake it 'til you make it" sometimes works aswell..👍 There's more than one way to skin a rabbit.🧐
You are a strong woman and you truly gives us as followers a very big smile every-time we saw your videos, stay strong and God bless🙏
Thank you so much!
Good to see you back Saffy! Girl power 🎉
Thank you so much :D! I'm so glad to be back!
Incredible video, amazing story. Can't wait for more. Thanks!
Wow thank you so much for your support ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
Welcome back mate. We missed you!
I've missed everyone too!
Dam, I couldn't even get through the first 5 mins of that. Had me in tears. I'm so sorry for all you have been through. Make me realise how luck we all are. I'll be back to watch the rest once I've regained composure.
Missed You !
I've missed you too :D It's great to be back!
@@SaffySprocket Dearest - Its nice hearing from yu - Please, please see if you can get a team or at least another person to ride with - Please ! Maybe Facebook might have groups in your area that would be interested in your adventures -and would want to ride and camp with you !
Emotional and inspirational journey of all you've been through. So glad you're back, have missed your videos and the joy in them. Motorcycles are life!
Well I wasn't expecting THAT Miss Sprocket!!!! Absolutely amazing story stressing the importance of having enough self-understanding to know what makes you tick, what is most important and brings the most consistent pleasure into your life. And Bikes are where its at!!! 👍👍 😁
Congratulations Saffy, inspiring stuff & an amazing journey 🎉😊
30000+ Sprocketeers rooting for you Saffy.
Im prevented from riding a bike by spinal injuries ( thought a Tri-city would work out but nah) so relying on channels like yours and the car to enjoy the open road.
Keep strong Saffron, great you are back. 🎉
You are an absolute inspiration to so many, keep going, you will achieve great things, there is so much love for you out there. I'm 55 this year and you are doing all the things I wish I had had the balls to do when I was younger. Keep smiling and ride safe.
Thank you so much!!
I watched your vid, ...and was truly heartbroken by the struggles you have endured. I have been a biker for 44 years, and i know where your heart is, all true bikers do. I so hope your luck changes for the better, and remember, its not weak or a failure to ask for help, this and the biking community will come to you aid if you shout loud enough. Take care, and ride safe!😊
You are incredibly brave and strong to be sharing this.
There are a lot of us wishing you well.
Keep that lovely smile going when you can.
Good to see you back, stronger than ever! Your family must be proud.
I'm glad to be back 😊
It will magically be all right again! Talking from experience. Just keep going and let go all the hard thoughts. Much love!
Yes! Thank you!
Truly inspirational... Thank you for reminding us of how lucky we are...and why we should keep going. ❤
Your bad days will one day make for great stories :-) you just have to keep going!
5:18 I feel so spoiled if I listen to this infectious laughter that I only seem to be able to enjoy accelerating hard on an expensive and very powerful motorcycle. You are blessed.
Chin up Saffy 😊
You're never alone as a biker Saffy, good Bikers will always help another biker, we're all just friends that are yet to meet.
Never worry about asking for help or support.
Well done on perseverance through unmanageable tough times.
Ride, enjoy, smile, repeat!
Maybe this is only another comment more, but I felt touched by this video. And perhaps that’s why I love your channel, you are real, with your ups and downs, struggles and victories and you share it with us as it is. I remembered being in similar situations, no money, no food, no hope. I had to sell many things (including my bike) and look for better luck in a different country, leaving family and friends behind. Never stop fighting and never stop doing what you like the most, in one way or another. If you follow your passion, everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing this with us and for being an inspiration. I hope all settle down for you and you find the happiness you deserve.
Thank you for sharing your world with us. This was the most inspirational and best video I have seen from you. I wish you the best always. 🙏
Thank you so much 😊 I was a little nervous about opening up but I'm glad I did !
Saffy, you are one tough lady and so determined and driven yet soft and caring, you my dear are amazing to go through all that and to just keep going. I wish you all the best in everything you do, keep reaching for the stars 😊
Thank you so much!
You are an inspiration Saffy you keep striving and keep laughing. When you are a Biker you are never alone you belong to the biggest family in the world. I have just lost my father an old skool biker and Veteran. And you should have seen the send off he got. The amount of Bikers that turned up to ride him to the crematorium. I rode along side them all and it was heart warming.
Bikers are a whole different breed. I've never met anyone quite like them
Wow, what an inspirational woman you are. Coming back from your troubled times and having the determination to live your dreams on your bike. Love watching your channel. Keep it up saffy 👍👍😱👍
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I tried for years to get my father to understand why i love motorcycles.
I never got him to understand. So we never got on.
But you just said everything I tried to tell him in 12 minutes of video.
This video has made me feel a lot better, now and always knowing, i am not the only one, who loves motorcycles.
Awe Saffy, I've just seen this. You're a breath of fresh air, keep doing your thing. Love and best wishes from Scotland x
Aw, thank you so much! Your kind words mean the world to me. Sending lots of love and best wishes right back to you from wherever the road takes me! 🏴💖🏍️
Dear Saffy, this has so cheered me, inspired me....I'm at the older end of life, post illness I've struggled with my direction, I'dalways been a doer and go get type...but you've reminded me it's not over and it's all for me out there....just got to dust myself off again...love and blessings to you and thank-you.🙏🙏🙏
Saffy. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming video. You have overcome such adversity to be in a better place in your life and became a better and lovely person for it. You are indeed an inspiration for overcoming depression, tragedy and homelessness to become such an inspiring role model. I lost my mom 6 years ago and I can relate to losing someone close to you. Love you Saffy and never give up and you will always be a great lady. Glad to have you back. ♥💋
I hope it can give others the courage to keep going ❤️ It's not uncommon to have a bad time as much as social media makes us think everyone's life is all rainbows
@@SaffySprocket Totally Saffy. It is not everyday that we see videos that show realness and humility whereas most motorcycle videos are mostly for show...and not much else. You are indeed wonderful. ♥
Keep going Saffy! You're an inspiration!
What a story. Really inspiring. I'm at a really low point in my life, and it's good to see other people reach their goals, even if there are ups and downs in life. Keep going, we are stronger than we think. Greetings from Germany! ✌❤
Sorry you're having a rough time! Something that really helped me get through the really bad days was scheduling a good ugly crying session (I wish I was joking 🤣) but I'd usually sit in the shower 2 or 3 times a week and just full on ugly crying with zero shame, like a banshee some days, then I would get out and carry on as usual. It sounds weird but scheduling sad time really helps you to compartmentalize things so it doesn't rule your life!
I hope you come through your struggles too ✌
I’m am moved by your struggle and hope this helps. Congratulations on all you have and will accomplish.
I and I'm sure as are your thousands of followers are so glad you're back, your infectious ability to keep going when things get tough, we all admire you and wish and look forward to more from you, we care alot for your welfare ❤🏍
Don't ever stop Saffy, I can't say how much you make me smile❤
Your resilience is an inspiration!
I wish you all the best!!
Thank you so much! Your support means the world to me. Wishing you awesome adventures and safe travels! 🌟🏍️😊
Thanks for sharing your story Saffy. It touches us all, each probably in a different way but with the same message of perseverance and hope and ultimately joy in life. I think someone is watching over you Saffy. Ride safe.
You are so welcome 😁
