    Lots of wiffle waffle going on 😂for sure.
    I've had folk try to shoot me down many times in the early days.
    It just makes me realise who my real TH-cam friends are and I appreciate them even more and they will always have my back as I will have theirs.
    Love what you are both doing, keep up the brilliant videos, good content🎉

    A lot of it is handbags at dawn, at least that’s how it all seems to me. For some strange reason, certain bigger channels feel threatened about the tiddlers. I’d rather just do my own thing, and not get drawn in. I originally started, so that my wife (who can no longer ride pillion), could see where we had been, and consider it a bonus that other people enjoy them too. I love the chat from people all around the world. Keep it simple 🤗

    I think TH-cam is a marvellous thing and have from day one tried to encourage people to give it a go, if only for an excuse to get out on your bike. I constantly try to promote others and think of it as big family that I want to see thrive 😊 The negative comments I get are thankfully few put some seem to try really hard to offend but fail 99.9% of the time. 😊 The indirect snipes from some of the bigger channels are the most annoying because there simply isn’t any need for it. 😊 Thanks for doing this video to hi-light the ridiculousness of the petty squabbling 😊 Love you both 😊❤

    I will be honest as a motorcyclist of 45 years and the founder of a motorcycling group with 2300 members for the last 11 years and probably the worlds smallest TH-cam podcast on motorcycling. I have been really disappointed by this reaction we have seen about the BSA, it takes me back to school where the competitive guys fall out with each other because they feel threatened and their mates get behind them and start throwing insults at each other and at their mates and I’ve got to be honest it’s been a bit of a shock and a reminder that the most innocuous comment can be taken the wrong way, sometimes on purpose and twisted to create a problem when actually it could be completely avoided. Thanks Sean and Susie for bringing it up though I think many of us have been watching this from a distance and shaking our heads a bit.

    I gave up on Fillingham years ago when he went from vlogging to recording a bit of B-roll and talking over it at home, falling ever more down the conspiracy rabbit hole to draw in gullible viewers. And I can't say I've ever heard of Mr Tingle.
    I like you two for your fun, and I'll be honest, your amateurism, you're not so ridiculously slick and I don't ever feel you're doing it just for the numbers.
    Freddie, well Freddie is Freddie, wonderfully naive at times, charming as always, I'm occasionally mystified as to why I'm watching someone's holiday, but it's always enjoyable.
    So keep it up, please. Stay out of trouble and let the kiddies fight over the sweets in the playground.

    I keep thinking ‘wouldn’t it be great if we could just reset TH-cam and go back to the days where we all filmed for our own enjoyment, and uploaded it simply because others might be interested or it might provide help to them’. That’s how I view my own channel as someone who is just getting started. It’s a hobby, I film what I want and what I think might be of use or interest, and that’s it. The problems start when the monetisation starts, and then starts to snowball as more views=more subs=more advertising money=need for more, more, more. And then it becomes a scramble for who can get the bike first, put up the first video, get a higher share of views= the cycle as stated above. But that being said, I do not condone anyone producing videos that set out to deceive the viewer, or not be wholly truthful in what is being portrayed, and if that’s how someone wants to run their channel, then I think it’s right as a community, that it’s challenged and called out. What if, as a result of Mr Tingle’s video, BSA bikes are branded problematic, their reputation is shot, and the company folds or withdraws from the UK market. We’ve just lost (again) a historic brand, brought back from the dead, that have produced a decent bike for not a lot of money? And that video is based upon information that may or may not be wholly truthful, just because it’s current, and could get a lot of views, etc, etc. That would be tragic.

    Anyone can set up their own channel. Hence there are some lovely genuine folk out there. There are also some folk out to blag whatever they can. Quite a few prima donnas and a fair few people who if you actually knew them, you would likely actively avoid. What I saw this morning from Uncle Fillingham was one of the most tedious things I've ever watched on TH-cam. There will always be disagreements between people who have had different experiences, but it really shouldn't result in handbags at dawn. I will always recall Fillingham a couple of years ago telling everyone not to go near BSA, now hes telling us all they are fantastic. Make of that what you will. But you're quite right; a bit of tolerance is what's called for.

    I've lost count of the number of bike vblog/review channels that I've subscribed to, got bored, and unsubscribed! I occasionally watch Freddie, just for the entertainment value. One guy that I do watch a lot is Nathan the Postman. His reviews are normally pretty direct, warts and all! Some complain that all he's doing is promoting his business, but why not! Being the first to review a new bike doesn't mean much to me if, due to demand on the bike, it's ridden around the block, and a verdict is given! When I get a new bike, it generally takes me a few weeks riding to really determine what I like and don't like about it. And some reviewers are so partisan that you know which bikes they'll rave about and which they'll hate, and some just love every bike that they swing a leg over!
    Anyway, keep eating the popcorn and keep on doing what you're doing! 👍

    I see this all the time!
    My channel was a mixed one before just bikes, I used to do RC stuff as well.
    You would not believe what went on on the RC side, got quite serious at one point (nothing to do with me I hasten to add)
    Recently I have had offers from manufactures to review stuff, and I must admit I was anxious taking these offers as I felt a bit of a fraud being only a wee sub 3k channel!
    However then I thought, you know what I have been at this 5 years, maybe I am being recognised so why not!
    Luckily I have not had any back lash and some pretty positive response so all good, I love making videos and I love watching videos that's what its all about surely?

    You are right guys. Of course, everything gets complicated when money/business gets in the middle. One thing they should all remember is, it's not about them! It just isn't! It's about all of us who like bikes! Simple as that really! No one is more or less "entitled" to enjoy motorcycling! We all face the same difficulties in life! From the UK to Thailand, from the US to South Africa, we all face the same BS in life & particularly regarding motorcycles! There are developments coming our way that will make the use of motorcycles even harder (in some areas they have already began) so I don't think pettiness is the best way to try & prepare for them.

    Thanks for an excellent, sane video which reminded me why I started watching motorcycle videos on YT in the first place - fun! I have followed Stuart Fillingham for a number of years and I admit I have learned a lot of useful practical motorcycle stuff from him for which I'm very grateful. However I've felt for a while that he has been drifting further and further away from the fun, relaxing side of things. He's entitled to his political views (which I don't necessarily share) and he's right to keep banging the drum about actual or possible threats to our motorcycling freedom. However the spat with Moto Tingle is just plain stupid. I had never heard of Moto Tingle until Mr Fillingham mentioned him and I wonder if he realises he has just given his nemesis a load of free publicity? Unless you own or are thinking of buying a BSA Gold Star (not me) who cares? I think it's time he took a break and for now at least I'm saying "Bye bye Stu".

    I am new to bikes (yet to buy one, just trying to learn stuff online) and this kind of poo throwing really gets confusing, because I have only been following (quite a few in the mean time) relevant channels for less than 2 months. It is a pity that people have the need to attack others because they disagree with their opinions or feel threatened by their views. But yes - there appear to generally be two groups of people doing videos. Those that do it for fun or for the community and those that have it as a job (or trying to get there). I of course hope that they chose that path because they enjoy it, but it does put additional strain on them as they want to keep the lights on and food on the table.

    I don't think any good can come from going to another channel and attacking it, even if you do have a valid gripe with an issue you can raise a counterpoint yourself without dragging anyone else in. It's easy to think of someone on here as a two-dimensional cardboard cutout a few centimetres tall on the screen but I would hope most of us do not! The bike scene is probably one of the most polite online ones I've experienced at least 🫶 I like your hat, I should get a hat 👍

    Sadly social media companies feed on controversy which boosts clicks/profits.

Keep up with your mix of travelogues/reviews/commentary. We need to find more to unite us than divide us otherwise the tech bros win and we ultimately lose.

    To my surprise, this year I've become an accidental teeny youtuber (I'm not actually teeny, but have less than 280 subscribers, however that's around 279 more than I expected). I haven't tried to be a youtuber, and I've never asked anyone to subscribe or like either (and I don't mind if they don't), I don't even talk (not one for talking) ...but it's really nice that people do (like or subscribe that is, not the talking bit ...although there's a few folk that could do a bit less of that 😁) PS that's not meant as a plug.
    However as I'm doing it for my own entertainment and not interested in making any money from it, none of it matters, although it's very nice that a few people are getting some entertainment value from it.
    As a viewer, there's quite a few motorcycle channels I subscribe to (one's testing bikes I like, routes I like, 'nice people' with reviews or tips, people having interesting adventures etc) but there are a few channels that are a bit more ranty and/or extremely opinionated which I don't.

    Some Tubers massively overestimate their influence on a bike's potential, for better or worse. It's debatable whether enjoyment has much to do with stats on paper, I've owned a number of bikes that were popularly derided, and had the time of my life on them. People need to remember TH-cam is a form of entertainment primarily, and any tips are a bonus. When Mid-life Crisis Motorcyclist got first(?) UK dibs on a 650 Classic, I thought that will put the cat among the pigeons, but haven't seen any salvos fired publicly. I wonder if retro bikes attract, ahem, mature riders with strong opinions?

    Great video. As you said, some videos are for fun, some… it’s a business model. Just keep yours light and ignore the head count. Why is the bike industry failing?… obviously a personal view: Too complicated a structure to pass your test. Ridiculous insurance premiums for younger riders. Peer pressure for having the right bike. No TV programmes on bike maintenance. You can buy a car for nothing down and pay monthly. You can insure a car cheaper in some cases. Bikes no longer essential like it was back in the day.

As for Darcy Bustle and his dad getting their tutu's in a twist over dealers bike allocations, that really is a bit much.

    Of course I'm only kidding! I'm tiny (well, my YT channel is I mean) in comparison to any of the channels you've been mentioning and I am doing it purely for the fun of it. To have a hobby outside of work and to learn all the creative and editing skills to keep my brain active learning new things. And I choose to do it with motorcycles because I love them too! If I ever make it to the point where I can make a few quid out of it then that'd be amazing, but it really would just be a nice bonus.
    I'm happy if I get a couple of hundred views and a few likes and comments on any video I upload.
