Good to see you back doing the on bike chats, I found your tube about a year ago and watched a lot of your videos, but then as you drifted away from thus type of video I found Richy Vida and tend to go for his videos now due to the content and randomness.
Each to their own, but keep up the good work. I'm happy it's all working out for you
Cheers bud,
But I hadn’t realised I’d drifted away from onbike chatting vids?
Quite a few people have said the same as you, but almost all my vids are me saying on a bike talking, so I’m interested to hear why some people think I’ve stopped doing them?
Not me having a dig, I’m genuinely intrigued as to what you opinion is 👍
I wonder if it's just the way videos are advertised, I don't tend to watch many reviews on new bikes that are out unless I'm interested in them.. I guess that can go with everybody/everything people will only watch what they want..
Maybe people see another bike review for instance and just scroll past and miss out on the chatty side that's within those types of videos?
I’ve been watching your vids for about a year now Bruce. The reason I watch you is for your presentation, your brutal honesty, and also a wee bit of wit. You and Mr Fish are my favourite watch’s, the Big Little Adventure was a laugh, more of that sort of thing please. Individually, you both have an off the cuff comedy timing that sets you apart from many others, but it comes out even more when you work together and get to bounce off each other.
I always look for a likeable, friendly, and knowledgeable presenter. If someone is so enthusiastic that it becomes contagious and you experience it vicariously, then I’m gonna look forward to every video. You pretty much tick those boxes. I have 2 people I give to on Patreon, and that’s because I believe in their creativity, and you’re one of them. I look forward to you coming to Ireland.
That really is very kind bud, thank you for both the comment and your extra support over on Patreon too - both are gratefully received 👍
Thanks for the shoutout Bruce you big hunt! 😁 can't wait to get EP2 recorded with you, absolute scream 👍
Best fish n chips next - so you will be headed north to Whitby 😀
Bruce, massive fan and have been since the round the world trip. To be honest what I personally love on your channel is the trips away, your Picos trips were absolute gold for the likes of me planning a trip away there and getting ideas for road and routes (heading there next month for a week). I was gonna even try signing up for one of yours before covid hit and put a stop to them. That and the mad 24hr runs you do to Scotland and back or around the UK I think are fantastic.
I get you have to do the sponsored, promoted and paid gigs as this is your industry and profession right now and I wish you all the very best in that, it's great to hear that you have so many projects brewing which will hopefully grow you and the channel!
So to finish, keep up the amazing work and bring back group trips away.... the boat trip, the gear ye have with ye, the bikes, the journey, the stories, the routes, the planning, the banter, the tiredness, the hang overs:) and all the other stuff that has gone with each of those trips is what makes the channel and you so visceral!
Thanks Mark 👍
Bike and kit reviews are all well and good and you do seem to look at things in the same way as I do, I think we like/disslike the same sort of things. So while its nice to get them from yourself, they are all over the tube at almost the same time and like you say, first to the party gets the bulk of views so little help to the channel. I like the out n about on the bike stuff, going places/seeing things, meeting people. Getting out living your life so to speak. Keep up the good work buddy, we ALL love you, what you do and most of all, what you stand for.
That’s awesome to read Mark, thanks very much for taking the time to write it 👍
Hi Bruce I'm one of the guys who has been enjoying your rides for about 2 years...
I enjoy all what you do so keep going as it is ....my fav was the big little adventure what a blast....
Thanks Clive 👍
You deserve to hit the 100k subs mark just on the epic RTW trip alone!
What bought me to your channel was the trips and tours. I like the epic ones with huge miles. The recent Sinnis one around the UK was great. Long days in the saddle. Battling the weather and fatigue. Maybe I just like seeing you suffer!!! 🤣 It's all inspiration to me to get on out there and do my own tours and most importantly, Live my life!!
Thanks Sion 👍
We're all here Bruce because you and ALL your content is awesome, couldn't think of anything less but maybe a little more of what you're doing now 👍👍🙏
Thanks a lot Dave 🙏👍
Been a subscriber and Patreon for a number of years. Came upon your channel because of the Picos vids (I'll be going for the first time in 2022). I like pretty much all of your content, bike reviews and road trips especially! Keep up the great work Bruce
Thanks very much bud 👍
I love your reviews of bikes and kit, you have a nack of putting it in laments terms, on my level.
But,
The real reason I watch your channel is the rides! Just the rides. Riding and talking, touring, abroad exploring, I love it. It’s inspired me to change my bike to something more touring focussed so I can start going longer distances. I’ve Downloaded the calimoto app and will just spend time in The saddle. When money allows I will be going abroad, based purely on your videos. Keep it up Bruce
Craig that’s awesome to hear/read bud, I’m chuffed the vids have helped you make the decision to get out there more and explore - enjoy it 👏👍
Hi Bruce, in reply to your question regarding why I watch your channel the simple answer is you and your presentation. It makes me feel as though we are biking buddies having a chat over a beer after being out on a ride. I enjoy hearing your take on kit, bikes and life.
Thoroughly enjoy the tour videos and the general riding videos. Keep doing what your doing please.
Spot on
I agree. Well said! 👍🏻
Thanks very much folks 👍
Totally agree
Bruce, as much as I enjoy the reviews, track days, etc etc its nice to have a unscripted ride out, and a relaxed chat and bit of banter. Lovely countryside, excellent weather and hope the trip next year to Ireland, north and south comes off. The scenery, Giinness and welcome up north is every bit, if not better than the south. Keep up the good work. Keep safe 👍🏻
Don't sell your self short. People like your personality, you talking and riding is relaxing. Feels like your spending time with a friend. It's very pleasant and thank you.
Started watching some time ago when your RTW trip was new and keep coming back as enjoy the way you present and don’t follow the crowd just because something is new or free. You can tell the content you put out is content you want to put out. Also supporting a fellow Scot obviously. I am guilty of only listening to the podcasts initially, normally when walking dogs but I do find myself dip watching some when a particularly amusing bit happens. Keep up the great work pal
I’d agree with bike reviews. I enjoy your vids as you know! I come back and watch because I can connect with you because of your story as I’ve recently got into the same boat.Even the trips with LCR was brilliant 💯. Listen to the podcast every week! Get it up TP1 👍🏻
This is the first full video of yours that I've watched. Brand new to the channel after seeing you on the pasty run with Lamb Chop, which I really enjoyed. Now subscribed to the Teapot One channel I'll certainly be checking out more of your content. It's great that you got the bike out for this video. I also like that you're open to what people want to see. Looking forward to watching more of your videos 👍
Cheers Damien, great to have you along on the channel!
Thanks for the sub and I hope you enjoy the other vids 👍
Channel and content is great and positive in alot og ways, also the pods as well, just matter of what mood what to watch..active dialogue with subscribers are better then most vlogers.. your channel feels alive and genuine in best teapotstyle..
Here I would like to see random daytrips, stops where you eat and what to eat, lookout points or nature in random areas of the day, gear stores or perhaps a interesting motel and sleepover or where bikers meet up occasionally, talking to random bikers or locals..
More Uk tours. On your GS. Loved the big little adventure too. You are doing an excellent job as you are. Also loved the fish and chips and pasty vids. Keep up the great work👍
Hi Bruce, I discovered your channel while off work for 3 months with a chipped bone in foot at the start of this year. Your style and personality is engaging and that you are different from other channels, making you a good fit with other channels I subscribe to.
Great video as usual bruce been watching your channel for a while now love the variety of the channel honest reviews and down to earth bloke that keeps fetching me back I watch all 4 of you guys I think you know the other 3 just keep doing what your doing love the channel 👍
Nice one Bruce 👍 Back to Basics. Variation is good! I really enjoyed this video. I like the bike and kit reviews they are great but if I’m honest I really enjoyed this one more just you riding and talking to us, it almost felt like we were sitting down drinking a beer 🍻 together. I love the podcast , you Bruce and the guests you get on really inspire me, I love switching the podcast on after a crap day at work riding home listening to you.Keep up the good work Bruce. Thank you
Cheers Curno 👍
Because of You Bruce,that's the reason I'm back to this chanel :) "Look at That!" Love your style :)
I enjoy your channel very much. The videos I enjoy the most are your trips and tours videos, either solo or with other riders. Really enjoyed the "Big Little Adventure". Keep up the good work.
Still got tears in my eyes after the pasty run I’ve just watched brilliant work 👍
Nice to hear your dulcet tones on a good old fashioned vlog, TP1. Fortunately, I only get the odd pop at me on my own channel, but I loved hearing your retort. For the most part, most youtube viewers are amazing, but there are always the few that test the bounds of my halo...any yours too by the sound of it! :-) To be frank, it's your positive personality that inspires me to come back: I enjoy whatever content you create. Keep it up, man. Cheers.
I really enjoyed your California Superbike school vids, how about doing something similar off-road. BMW off-road school, Triumph, Yamaha enduro school etc. We know you don't like off-road, but it would be good to show what you could learn, and if it would change your mind as you become more experienced. I did the Yamaha Enduro school a few times about 10 years ago and learnt so much. I know it takes up so much of your time, but when you, Lamb Chops, Ricky Veda and TMF raced the plane, that was epic. Another ensemble piece is well overdue! Keep up the good work.
More content with ol' Lamby! Ok, seriously though, I dig the bike reviews, but if you have the option, more of the tour type vids would rock. Even the short jaunts. I really dig the scenery, and your commentary is always good for a giggle. Probably won't ever get the shot to ride with you (I'm in the US) and have a beer, so it's like the next best thing.
I love the adventures. The small bike UK ride was awesome. Same for the trip with the other two blokes.
Shame you couldn't get over to Scandinavia with your colleagues Bruce. Nordkapp perhaps :) Well I am hoping to do it next year with a mate, we will both be riding Royal Enfield Himalayans! We will be taking it steady I suppose:)
What makes me come back to the channel? Your charismatic personality mixed with honesty and of course the Scottish accent. My father was a Scotsman and the fact that your an accomplished motorcyclist:)
The big little adventure. That was awesome. I have been watching Dicky Vegas for a long time and the big little adventure was how I discovered your channel and Mr Fish. That video series was fun and not over edited. Not being over edited makes you feel more like you are on the road with you guys.
Great tip with the calimoto app. Didn’t know you could refresh the round trip with that button 👍
Thank you for the basics
I'm new to your channel and I have to say I am hooked! what great content and your commentary is spot on. great stuff, keep rolling. Thx
Cheers David, glad you’re enjoying it bud.
Welcome to the channel! 👍
Love the reviews, especially the smaller quirky stuff like the Sinnis. Personally not fussed about camera tech stuff, that's why I watch you and don't do it myself! Maybe some rider training stuff, local IAM, or even the local old bill rider training? Trips are always good, but maybe with more details on crossing costs, borders, etc? Kit reviews are always welcome, and loving the podcast stuff.
I really enjoy the travel videos but would like to see more of the interaction between riders and with the locals. Also, I love the podcasts and will often settle in for the evening and watch more than one at a time. As others have mentioned, your personality is what drew me into subscribing and no matter what direction you take the channel in, that’s why I’ll keep coming back. Thanks for all your efforts!
Awesome, thanks very much Marcus, that’s greatly appreciated bud 👍
I enjoy your tours the most
Hi Bruce, you ask what drew me to the channel in the first place. Well lockdown and general frustration with normal TV enabled me to find your travel vids these pulled me in. After watching these we decided as retired old feckers that we needed a trip & they inspired us to go to the Picos last October (going back in October this year too), otherwise we would have stuck with the Alps, hopefully as things improve you’ll be able to restart these. Sadly you’ve had to cancel the Scandanavian trip 😢 was looking forward to seeing that one and hopefully you’ll include more of the off bike craic/interaction with your fellow travellers at the locations you drop into. Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Cheers Neil 👍
Hi Bruce. Your content is varied , unbiased and professional and up there with the best. Keep doing what you do . Cheers 👍
I come back because I love your energy, your honesty when it comes to reviews, would love to see more tours (understand that finances and covid circumstances has affected that but looking forward to that happening more again soon), nice to see you back to just chatting away on the tractor aswell all the best 👍
I enjoy your travel videos, the happiness and dare I say contentment really shine through, you could be the beefer Itchy Boots, just a thought. Many thanks for all your efforts.
Great watch Bruce, I respect your RichyVida decision to wait to do Ireland. I too hoped to do a Nordic trip but have had to postpone due to commitments and finances. Keep doing your thing as that is what makes your channel! Thanks 👍👍🍻🍻
Cheers Darren 👍
Definitely your presentation, really like the vids with a bit of comedy content, sinnis etc and the joint vids with other you tubers. Plus the round the world stuff, but I know you don't like to mention that ! 🤣
Keep doing what you’re doing Fella.
Always entertaining.
Intrigued to see what the ‘mystery’ bike will be.
Looking forward to that video !
I have been watching your channel and reached the Back-To-Basics video. I mainly watch the road tours and sports touring bike and “kit” apparel reviews. I enjoyed this solo “back to basics vlog. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Same career background as you and your RTW series was how I came across you which was amazing. Always enjoy your bike reviews but my favourites are always your tours as it gives me ideas for the future 👍🇬🇧. Ride safe
I enjoy seeing the riding on any bike in any destination it’s just entertaining! The vid with you, Fish and Dickie on the 125’s is a banger, was very funny 👌😆 it actually got me buying my first bike ( sinnis Apache sm ) which is arriving this month so thank you! I shall be a fellow rider, Keep up the good work Bruce!
A great channel keep up the great work really enjoy what you do.
I love your fantastic bike reviews and is why I keep coming back!
For me, it was the Sinnis Terrain adventure videos. I'm looking it myself.
I'd love to see more like this on other 125cc bikes and more advice and tips for new and returning motorcyclists.
I love the honest opinions on bikes and gear is awesome.
Thanks man, much appreciated 👍
So good seeing you being you. I've missed this mate. So good to see you're doing well.
I come to this channel for your Scottish accent and your beautiful smile... and the bike content 😁✌
My favorite videos are your group rides or just you motovlogging. Keep up the great work.
As you say. sometimes you have to just jump on the bike and ride. Did that yesterday and ended up at The Blue Sky Café, Cromer for a filter coffee and some Norfolk Shortbread. Then a ride home via some roads I've never ridden down before. 200 miles, in the sunshine, marvellous. Inner zen recharged and all is right with the world again.
That was just simply an enjoyable watch 👍👍
Thanks Steve 👍
You asked Why we or i come back for every vid, the answer is simple, Your channel is the full package only enhanced by your honest reviews and fantastic attitude to life summed up in your mantra LIVE YOUR LIFE. Please keep it up......
Great Channel and Vids Bruce as always. Got back into biking a few years back so watch your content for inspiration on travel, adventures, different bikes to try, maybe progressing to adventure bikes etc!
Also love seeing different places in the UK as i’m an expat in Australia and it gives me ideas on when I return for a visit. Looking forward to the Lamb Chops team up to Cornwall and would welcome ideas for accessing a bike in another country if you don’t have your own.
Cheers from down under 👍
Keep doing what you do Bruce. I've been hooked on your channel for quite some time now & enjoy all your content.
I'd like to see you doing more tours around the UK with Mr Fish, Chops & others. Or maybe riding with subscribers showing you around their fav roads.
The big hunts was hilarious. I like your suggestion about the best haggis but maybe you could look for the best pork pie around Melton Mowbray on your way home. Keep up the good work Bruce.
Hi TP1. Really enjoy the road trips incl when you hook up with others and . . always good banter.
As most of us do our own vids, your tips and tricks to get the best out of the gear is really appreciated.
(The tip on the mic settings for GoPro was very helpful)
In summary, any thing motorbike related is good viewing. Thankyou for making great content.👍
Enjoy vids like today’s as well as the tours. The bike and kit reviews are ok but what makes it all worthwhile, tours or reviews is the chat👍
I know I found your channel after seeing your adventure round the world on adventure bike TV. You were a more Scottish version of ewan mccgreggor lol. I love seeing places I'll never get to go to. I like seeing the latest and greatest bikes. Even though I ride a 42 year old ironhead harley. But my fav part is when you did the race against the plain and got all the lads involved. That was some top gear glory days kind of stuff! Also the comment of being a lump on a small bike is too relatable and makes me cry inside. But never stop it haha.
That was awesome mate, enjoyed the scenery and chat, probably why I gravitate towards everyone's touring vids😎
Bruce, back to basics works, nice and simple, easy to watch.
You're in the South , your roots are Scotland I'm in Northumberland. We are blessed with some of the UK's best biking roads including the adjoining Cumbria, Scottish Borders, Weardale. Not that we want to turn it into the next NC500 and be swamped with motorhomes !
Happy to recommend some superb roads. My mates from "Down South" have just spent a long weekend here , riding, kielder, Hartside, Borders to name a few and had one of the best biking weekends.
You'll love it.
Crack on 👍
Cheers Alex, sounds like a plan 👍
Love this channel , can’t see how to improve it if I’m honest, just keep on doing your thing my man
Thanks a lot Neil 🙏👍
@@teapotone another one of my question was answered as well
You use calimoto on a cradle
On your bm
I’ve ordered the motorrad cradle
I guess it’s the same thing ?
I really like watching your tours with someone or on your own. It is something I like to do and if I can't do it myself I like watching someone else doing long tours. You mention not doing Ireland due to Richy Vegas having done it! It's a big place and you could easily do a an alternate route going over from a different port and different route. Keep it up Teapot we will meet one day
Really enjoy your Tour videos and installation vids, personally I haven’t watched your pod casts and Bru Time videos due to their length, maybe I should go give them a watch :)
Good to see you're collaborating with lamb chops again, you two bounce off eachother very well, love the banter. Thank you.
Enjoying all your vids Bruce, the chat, the banter, the tours. As for something new - well how about getting some celebrities to ride out with you. Find out about their bikes and biking history? Keep it up mate. Love it 😊
Cheers John 👍
@@teapotone Hi Bruce, another thought is a ride out with Forces Veterans, may be therapeutic for them to be able to ride and perhaps discuss PTSD issues etc?
Super awesome to see a "proper" motovlog from you Bruce, I know making these take a wedge of time, so ace that you have been able to do it.
I have Lamb Chops vid queued up to watch next, looking forward to that.
Sounds like you have some incredible stuff coming up on the channel, looking forward to seeing it all :-)
Thanks Hippo 👍
Bruce, just when I was getting very bored with all the vloggers reviewing the same bikes (although I do watch yours, amongst others) you get on a Chinese 125 and ride around the UK in about three days, sleeping on fences! Great content and strangely, very viewable! You inspired me to go to the Pico's a few years ago with your videos and it's now part of my yearly programme. I don't listen to your podcasts as I prefer to watch your vids. Would love to see a India tour. Keep it up mate, great stuff.
Thanks bud 👍
Hi teapot love the video, its been nice to have a normal motovlog video and would be nice to see more of this style of video. I think the bike reviews are really good, also I would like to see more videos were you ride with other youtubers like richyvida, Missendenflyer, lamb chops etc. It would also be nice to see more touring series, I understand due to recent events its been difficult for any of us to go touring but it would be nice to see more of them again, even if its just something around the UK. Thanks for the great content.
I started watching during your around the world trip.
That's what I like. Seeing the different scenery, and your commentary on the bike.
So basically I'm interested when you're riding.
1. Bike vids/Tour series. Don't have to be European just local, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. POI's in those areas. Regards your comment on Dicky Vegas and Ireland. Maybe specialise in one area like the ring of Kerry. Give other bikes an idea of what can be done over a long weekend.
2. Podcasts, but with people, we might know Or Maybe do it on the bike with some questions over a cuppa. Kinda like we all do on a Sunday spin.
3. Riding kit reviews.
Your trips are always very good, certainly the solo ones. Thanks & well done!
Have enjoyed your videos Bruce and hope you continue to make them. For me I'd like to see you ride an area in the UK as a tour, maybe smaller distances but interesting scenery, I know that's all subjective! Enjoy your style and humour, I'm not as interested in the brew time chats but definitely watch the gear/bike reviews, tours etc - all first class.
I like the tour videos the most, the adventures and ups and downs of it all. Not so much the bike reviews, as they're everywhere, yknow? Podcast is great, and gear reviews are fun too! Take care bro.
Thanks bud 👍
Yes yes more like this Bruce big love from Cumbernauld 🏴🏴🏴
Hey Bruce, greetings from Dublin. Disappointing to hear that you won't be here for a while but I look forward to meeting up for a pint next year . As for the channel, I have always loved the tour videos, that being said, I like when you have gone out and explored the other facets of motorcycles wheelie school, track days, so why not try trials riding or speedway, enduro, or dare I say it ,off road!. Or even the culture of motorcycles, classic bikes maybe. Whatever you do , keep going and enjoy it. Cheers mate, there's a pint here when you do make it over👍
Hey buddy your vids are always excellent quality full of crazy stuff, funny moments but I think for me the main reason I follow you is your personality your just a very entertaining guy whether that's kit reviews or bike reviews or general sodding about, would like to see may be some more workshop type stuff maybe servicing your bikes or general repairs stuff like that but in general I think i would always follow your channel, the stuff with chops just kills me you two are an ideal comical pair lol on a side note whats happening with the custom helmet with paintnation, any way ride safe and all the best buddy
Thanks Luke, glad you enjoy the vids bud, and Chops and I have lots more to come in our ‘Big Hunts’ series 😉
There’s nothing to say about the PaintNation lid yet, Phil is still busy with work clients first before he can start on mine 👍
Ahhh fair enough, can't wait to see the lid tho when it's done and dont that vid you did with chops and the bloody pasty hunt, mate that killed me I deffiantly can't wait to see more of that, that stuff is golden content right there even my Mrs was laughing her head off excellent stuff 🤟
I mainly watch you because of your journey, you always come across well.
Why not come out with local riders across the country for local rides,I'm sure most folks would put you up.
Just keep doing what your doing Bruce👍
I soon hope to be going on my first tour around either Wales or Scotland. I video showing the essentials to pack and preparation for accommodation etc would be a good video for me. Great content as always Bruce.
Hey Bruce, I subscribed after following your epic round the world trip. How about an adventure bike trip around all the mountain ranges and passes of the Lakes , Dales and Scotland??. A tad of gentle off road with none of the stuck in the mud on an overweight bike nonsense. I’d love the prep, the real test of gear and bike along with the stunning scenery. Keep up the good work 👍👍🇬🇧👏
It is *great* to see you back out on the GS Bruce. Bummed you missed out on the trip to Scandinavia because of finances and such, so just upped my Patreon tier - hopefully every little bit helps. As far as content... I rarely have time to listen to the podcasts so I'm sure I'm missing out there, but they are very long. I joined your channel because of your genuineness and in the earlier days, you did a fair bit of touring (and some on a GS - which is a plus), which felt like the tangible expression of "live your life." There are so many channels around that do bike reviews, that it has become less interesting to me, so I'd really like more touring, traveling content (but don't over do those 72 hour efforts!!). I appreciate that COVID put the brakes on a lot of that, but hope it has not changed your passion for adventure. I watch a lot of Aussie and US ADV channels, and don't see much of that from the UK. Don't know if it is lack of viable places to do ADV riding, but would really enjoy some UK ADV content (not that I live in the UK ;-)
I enjoyed your off-road ride with Toro Adventures. Would love to see you do the Morocco tour with them! India would also be cool, especially if you did some off-road, maybe cross over into Nepal and do some of the lower Himalayas. (Actually sounds like I am asking you to do all the stuff I should be doing ;-)
Anyway, keep going Bruce. I too will celebrate when you hit 100k - hopefully sooner than you think!
Love the vids Bruce especially the long distance crazy challenges.
Dream bike, course I'm going to watch it!!!
Good video Bruce. I would love to see you do a short tour of the USA and keep up the good on here.
Fantastic Bruce, Glad you are getting somewhere after leaving the Force
As said in a few comments its great viewing, great reviews and promoting kit, some great laughs watching your trips . you got me back into motorbikes as well . keep them coming
Simple answer as to why I watch all your TH-cam vids.
Content, is relevant to my main interest of biking and you are definitely in the top 5% of the biking TH-camrs out there for the quality of content.
The Scottish accent is very easy on the ears.
I like your sense of humour.
I particularly like it when you punish yourself like on the Sinnis. 👍👍👍💪😎😁
I’d love to see more trips/adventures. By the sounds of it the states or India next year could be epic! I started watching with the RTW trip and it inspired me to look into touring, but it’s obviously expensive. So maybe ideas to keep the cost of touring down? But keep doing what you’re doing, most of your content is a big thumbs up from me
Bruce, I started watching your channel having heard about your plight with PSD, of which I am quite sympathetic of, as my missus had a run in with Lancs PSD which drove her to resignation (best thing she ever did)
With regards to content:
Bike reviews - not that bothered as all the content creators seem to do them at the same time, so I find it a bit tiresome when TH-cam is full of the same
Kit reviews - keep them coming
Tech Kit Reviews - not interested unless bike specific (like the Innovv stuff)
Would love to see you getting out more and riding to interesting/bike friendly places in the UK. Like a standard vlog with a slightly different dynamic?
Would love to see more touring videos too, but with a little bit more focus on local culture etc (funds permitting obviously)
Like the vids and the tours. Good to see your still humble, now you're a movie star! Phoenix AZ bike week is the first week in April. If you want to go let me know. Thanks. 😎👍🍻
I do enjoy the touring videos, I binge watched your UK tours the other day
Bruce. You asked what people like to see. Me personally find all you do interesting and entertaining, but would like to see more UK tours, the odd weekend away. The around Britain 🇬🇧 was great but extreme. Keep going, Channel is great.
I also follow TMF, lambchop,itchyboots.
Hi Bruce, love the vast majority of your content, love that you do your shit your way. I'd love to see you do a vlog/trip around the north of England and maybe do other bits of Scotland other than the NC500. Maybe a few bit of "the best roads you have never heard of!" Kind of thing.
All the best, keep on trucking!
Enjoy watching the videos, especially the bike reviews and your Spanish trips. Would love to see one on how you edit your on bike footage, particularly when you're using multiple cameras. Have found the online tutorials for my editing suite (Power Director 15) don't really cover the basic stuff I need to know and they tend to lose me when they get into more complex stuff.
Very cool vid, always nice to catch-up on what you’ve been up to and what’s coming up.
Just received my new ride 2021 R1250GS which is replacing the 2020 R1250R that was taken out when going through a roundabout. Life’s good brother.
Cheers
I've been watching you since I stumbled across your book. Your honest, open and straight forward approach is similar to mine and the fact that you have taken the brave step to follow your passion and do this full time keeps me coming back. India would be cool, especially if you could do the Himalayas on a Himalayan.
I think it's been mentioned already in the other comments, but here's my ten penneth... The rides with you chatting to camera are excellent, I enjoy them more than some of the other stuff. The collaborations with the likes of TMF, Richie v, chops etc are always fun to watch, keep doing those if you can... And you need to do more off road stuff, that's always a giggle 😁 Keep doing your thing Bruce 🏍️
Great vids Bruce, I think your personality is what makes your channel very good and different to the others. Which is why I enjoyed this old fashioned vlogging vid. Love the tours vids not quite so keen on reviews. Anyway "keep it going" as Mr motivator would say👍👍
Hi Bruce,
What I really like in the channel is your adventure rides like the round Britain on the 125 not so keen on the kit reviews that everyone else has, I basically love the travel looking at the countryside. When are you going to go finish the round Britain journey that ended up in the breakdown in St David’s. Also I like the way you don’t take yourself to seriously like some of them.. keep up the good work👍Todays video was great, I used to like the commuting to work vids up to town.
