Thanks for all the input from everyone in the comments. Truly humbled by the positive response from everyone.
It's extremely helpful to see what you guys think about my plans. I'm still not sure what to do but it's very humbling to hear the amazing feedback. Thank you 🙏
Please keep your day job! Worldwide recession is coming
My observation across the whole YT is that is so much easier to get content subscribers when you do car content, especially when you do so called supercar lifestyle selling dreams. Motorbike is so much tougher, again easier if you’re in America, there’s a few with 500K 2.5M subscribers. @imKay is the example where motorbike lifestyle bling bling sort of thing, and being in US gets him massive subscriptions. We have @44teeth in uk which is doing great, but just imagine if they were in US. Of course, if you did the same content in America, you would be at 500K easy.
I can also observe that many TH-camrs doing all sorts of things to monetise their community reach. All sorts of lotteries and deals. I don’t know, but let’s just imagine is all your subscribers contributed a £1, just £1. Or 10% of the subscribers doing £10. I would be first to do it. Honestly.
Knowing you, you would probably say no, but why not? Personally, I don’t want you to sell H2 because she’s part of the channel. Everyone in here wants to se her from time to time. You know…
I would be more than happy to join telegram, discord, live show, whatever. I’ve seen power of community doing magic things many times. Perhaps this is the time to test it. I would love to see your channel to grow and carry on. I can understand that some YT viewers prefer to see dreams being sold with models riding latest and sexiest motorbikes, but this channel is something I can assimilate with. I’m pushing late 40’s now, and it was actually the last 10 years I could fulfil my motorbike collection that I always wanted. Still a few I would like to own, but it’s different for me that it was when I was 13.
My take is that you bring certain group of people who aren’t interested in bs. Just down to earth passion driven stuff.
So if you ask community what to do? I would say, try to use the power of community, I would be the first to participate.
@@kennedyracing7527 yes, so everyone will be out of a job watching youtube 👍👍go for it.
I think you have to put passion to one side and look at this like a business. Motorcycles are a niche item not like cars. Realistically could you amass 9 million subs just for bikes. I don't think so. Your big sponsors want big exposure and I don't think you can get that with a niche channel albeit a good one. Only you know your monthly payment needs and you have to be honest and say could I make the same and a little more with YT and sponsors. Don't forget Google looks after itself first and foremost.
I think looking at FastlaneD's channel. He's went from mad low subs while I've been a sub and he's now over half a million subs. I watch alot of channel's and I definitely think you could do it.
We live once and I think you should take a year out on a sabbatical or something over the summer as unlike the Americans we ate very limited to weather. But if you got some sort of adventure bike that could be used through the winter.
Go ahead try and keep a lifeline for sure and have a look at others channel's like fastlane etc.
That's it the attitude 17:17 get it done. The H2 is amazing but it's not doing anything for the channel as it sits.
The flavour of your channel to date is for me it’s appeal, I wouldn’t regard it as “plodding along”; your personality and having Greg alongside is perfect, no need in my opinion to bring in any celebrities, their absence and the fact that your not an ‘Effluentcer” is refreshing.
Totally agree. It's not about the budget. It's the personality and delivery. Don't try to fix what isn't broken.
Yup agree, great channel as it is
Couldn't agree more - one of the reasons Chopsy is the only motorcycle channel I watch all videos from without fail is because of the way they are presented - light hearted, fun, knowledgeable (expert even) not taken too seriously but also not descending into childish rubbish...in short a true pro. Please don't go down the guest presenters route (other than Greg obvs) just give us more of the same.....and yes chop in the job or you'll always wonder "what if" (best decision I ever made personally).....good luck with getting the sponsors, I know how tough that is.....
@TheMissendenFlyer interesting. Were you already retired before you started your channel or was it the reason you stopped work?
@@STORNELLOMAN
Agree chopsy is a personality... funny.... I like the channel for what it is.
You seem to be assuming that your viewers want something 'better' from you. Perhaps in reality they like your productions just the way they are! When you look at the competition, (some of whom are slightly bland) the difference you bring is your personality. I don't think it has anything to do with the type of cameras you use etc etc
The 2 best bike channels are this and 44 teeth no doubt about it.
This is a very good point, already one of the best channels in the UK…
Hi Chopsie! Your channel is one of the best going, because it’s informative without pushing brands. It’s like being on a bike run with your mates, and just talking. You have to think about your own security first, family, pension, (as you get up there in years, lol). I think you plus Greg, and with Mossy as a guest, would be great. He would have that affable element. Keep up the good work! 🏍️🏍️🇮🇪🇮🇪🐕🐕
Completely agree the channel is good just the way it is keep your day job and just be happy that you get to ride all these brilliant bikes in your spare time you lucky git
@@kurtismoore476 totally agree mate, think about your own security and family first
Mate your channel is one of the best for quality 🤷🏼♂️ just sayin, I love it.
You're putting way too much pressure on yourself for something that was essentially created as a hobby and for fun.
For me, your channel is as good as 44Teeth, if not better. As others have said, your personality is key. What I’m saying is, don’t change what isn’t broken.
If you make a go of it i’ll watch and support the channel. If you stay the way you are i’ll watch and support the channel… Because i enjoy it just like it is now too👍
Great to see you thinking about developing the channel content, never forget though that you're strongest suit is being someone we all enjoy spending time with.
Oi! I'm 60 y'ageist twonk. 😂 Love your channel. Deffo would watch more. Only caveat is everytime my hobby became my job it killed it. Probably just me. Also need back up if longterm illness/injury strikes. Good luck whatever you decide. We'll still be watching. That H2 is a locomotive 👍 Blow off valve is superb fun!
I'd stay at your current day job, but if possible reduce your working days by one day or two days a week to allow you to keep a well paid job going. Then with the extra time, put it in to your channel, and as the channel picks up, reduce more time at your day job until you can swap to full time on the channel, if that makes sense?
As much as the H2 is my dream bike and every part of me says dont sell it, if i was in your position, i would sell the H2 and use that money for the channel to do new and exciting things, trips, purchases.
I agree reduce hours , see which sponsors actually in it for the long game . That way you keep some security 👍
Exactly what I was about to suggest, cut working days. With three long days a week that would remove the risk and retain a bread and butter income.
Having guests on the channel would be nice but with too many regular celebrities the cost could outweigh the benefits and loose the channel’s personality.
@PatBloomfield definitely! Having guests will be good but, we watch the channel for you not for mossy, 44t lads, James hillier etc. Greg is family so I'm sure I'm safe in saying your fans don't mind him. But having a celeb channel, not sure this would be a good way forward. 🤔
Frankly at 53 I wouldn’t go all in. The chance of success is there but it’s not like there aren’t already plenty of channels doing pretty much all the same things. Most of the ideas you mentioned have already been done to death by 44teeth. I guess in the end you’d be turning your passion into a job. Is that what you want? If you are keen to do it you need to be very clear how your channel is differentiated from all the others.
Yes pension contributions are important at that sort of age! (They are important all the time) but taking time off now is tricky, even big channels like 44teeth don’t get that many views and are funded not really by TH-cam
Sounds like you've got a pretty good set up already. I really don't think the quality needs to be improved and being too slick can turn people off. Doing things you like is not a business decision. What video gives the most views and therefore I presume the most income? I imagine sponsors are looking at views as well as do you fit their product.
From experience I suggest that at your age I wouldn't give up a well paid day job unless you have good contacts (it's who you know, not what you know) that you can rely on later, but if you can adjust your days/hours that may scratch your current itch and may give a better indication of what's possible to make a more informed decision. 🤷🏼♂️
This.
This ⬆️
Most salient comment on here.
The eye opener to me was the recent video tmf did on his earnings from TH-cam. I would sit down and do a 10yr income forecast on what your current job pays you plus TH-cam income versus income over the same period just from TH-cam. Other factors to consider are your pension (which I assume you are getting through work), sickness (what if you got injured or ill), paid leave etc. Personally I would maybe see if you could drop 1 day a week at work to focus on this channel as this spreads your risk. Your channel is already one of the best out there and is growing steadily as a result. Also consider that all motorcycle channels are a niche market and discounting itchy boots / fortnine I don't see many getting over 200k in subscribers.
You definitely aren't plodding along and a bike channel is always going to need a mix of regular bike reviews etc to keep it ticking over.
Key thing is to think about what you need to live in say 10yrs once you might retire and what's going to best support you.....
Life is always a balance between income to live plus enjoyment ✌️
I wouldn’t fret over the quality of your content, it’s great.
One thing you do better than most channel is that you are a little more identifiable to the average rider-if there is one suggestion I could make, it would be to do more things like the average owner does-modification etc. Not all of us need repetitive coverage of bike launches when others do that well. Not that you don’t, but it’s one way to differentiate yourself.
Think well ... if you make a day job of a passion, it changes the nature of the passion ... you can get a lot of pressure to make a comfortable living and that can screw up your passion ;)
Keep your job and carry on as you are
I think personally TH-cam has peaked with this type of material, so keep it as you are, I'm enjoying it 😊
Thanks for sharing! Best of luck in whatever the path your chose! I will watch you on regardless, not to worry!
Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s you we subscribe to and enjoy watching and listening too due to your honesty and down to earth unbiased opinions.
Go for it LC,liked and thanks as always for the great content 🏴
Don't change a thing mate!!always look forward to your uploads❤
Hi John, thanks for the upload and your thoughts for the future of the channel. It's a difficult one as like most of us, you need to work and pay the bills. Regarding content, I think what you do is great as you provide a different mix than others I subscribe to and doesn't need to drastically change, just keep evolving the way you have, trying new things as and when you can. As for going full time tubing, that's a tough one to call. I'm risk averse too and should have taken possibly one of three chances I had in the early 90s, they could have lead to a very lucrative career in the motorcycle industry. My problem was lack of confidence in myself. I'm transitioning my career at nearly 59 and have just started working 3 days in my job and 3 in my own business. If your work will allow you to do similar, it will give you the opportunity to test the water without burning your current bridge. I wish you well and will keep watching regardless. All the best going forward 👍
Love the channel and look forward to your videos each week. Your tests plans sound fab and would look forward to watching them.
You deserve every success on the channel. Brilliant content.
Greetings from across the pond in Ireland 🇮🇪
Love what you do and what the channel brings.
Whilst channels that predominantly do solo stuff, can be interesting (e.g. bike reviews), what your channel has made a USP for, are the collaborative tests. Made me realise that the in-isolation reviews, where you hear how big the brake disks are, degrees of rake, flat plane cranks etc. means sweet FA for most of us - to take any insight from that stuff, you need to know the specs from the old bike, and you or the reviewer, needed to of recently ridden the old bike. Then you have some chance of listening to the spec and having the foggiest what that translates to riding it.
Then you started do it differently. Yourself and Gregorio then Mossy, out to do side-side tests of two direct competitors, bike-review actually became engaging. Specificaly because you're good blokes, who know what they're talking about - by that I mean you know what good/bad/ugly feels like to ride, not that you have PhD's in bike engineering. Also, we trust you.
If you could expand out enough to do full group trests in a similar way, you've just gone to the top of the tree IMHO
.. key is that you retain your personality, and channel's style over it all.
With all that said, it would be very easy to say, back yourself, drop everything, and go top-box-deep. If you can afford to do that and have a credible alternate plan, then do it! Personally, I'd take a phased approach, such as dropping to 3 or 4 days a week if you can with current job. If that can't be done, start to explore contract roles. If you've been doing same IT role as a perm for same company for 23yrs, you may be pleasantly surprised what day-rate you'd command. To the point where working 3 days a week will get you a similar take home to where you're currently at.
Big challenge with either of those approaches, is being clear about your availability, and being able to manage what would inevitably become a headache of spinning plates, if you don't get that structure set from the start. Includes ability to manage yourself to ensure you don't end up in those 12 hour days becoming the norm, 5 or more days a week.
However you do it, more of the same would be Chop-tastic!
Roll the [bigger] Intro Chopsy 👍
Go for it buddy! One of the best out there!
I love your channel and videos Chopsy. Your bike comparisons with Greg are probably my favourites, I enjoy your chat and banter. Your long haul video to Wales with Greg on the Hayabusa’s inspired me recently to buy a Gen 3 ‘Busa!
Whatever you decide to do with your channel, I will be following and waiting with bated breath for your next vid! All the best and keep the great content coming 👍🏻
Go for it LambChops ! Only regrets you'll look back on are the risks you never took .
Still watch your videos whatever you decide to do .. good luck !!
I have been a viewer since the first time blade build days, it’s been a impressive achievement to go from that to where your channel is now, it’s got a great balance of build videos still along with the honest impartial reviews, whatever you decide to do going forward, I’m sure it will work out for the best and all your hard work over the years will pay off
Go for it 👍 if your heart is in it, youll make a better go of it...
Enjoy ur content as it is , and look forward to your chanel growing even more..
Hi Chopsy, I think your channel is one of the best for all round biking content - Bike launches, bike reviews in the UK (real world), scrapping knuckles in the garage with project bikes, track days etc. and all done with a good dose of humour too!!!
Your camera work and editing doesn't go unnoticed either (I've tried doing a couple of our bike trips and it's bloody hard work).
Go for it, follow your dream mate!
I love the content and quality of content you produce now! Seeing you thinking about taking the next step for the channel is inspiring. Bring on LCR's "Creative" era 🤘
Absolutely go for it!👍
you're a legend !! every one loves your content !!! DO IT !!!!
Go for it man 😊
I think your work is brilliant chops , myself and other viewers will back you , good luck 👍
Keep doing what you’re doing Chopsy, love the channel and content
I've been watching you for years, even got an H2 SX 'cos of you. You've got something very special here; you're the only bike channel I watch every video of, even if it's for a bike I'm not remotely interested in. Keep it up Chops, and thanks for all the entertainment! (and don't you dare sell that H2)
For what it's worth I watch everything you put out. Always enjoy you content. Very relatable to me!
Loved the h2 video keep up the brilliant work I hope your year of 24 goes to planes and works out
Chopsy, yours is one of my favorite channels. Thanks for all your work. PS more Big Hunts please!
For me, your style is just the right mix of relaxed informative banter. Up there with 44teeth and Nevseys content. I watch all for slightly different takes on each bike as it is launched.
When other ytubers have gone all out with their channels, I have found myself not clicking on their content as often. The pressure, and trying hard to make it work comes through, and is at odds with the escapism of watching a video and playing with the idea of "is that bike for me?"
As long as expanding doesn't mess with the style, then I should think all of us will happily gobble up more. But as soon as the "I need this to work" vibe comes through, it can spoil the experience.
Wishing you all the best, my friend. Cheers 🍻
Keep pushin forward, my wife and i both enjoy your style of vloggin . It,ll be a big step but we reckon you,ll absolutely smash it as afull timer keep up the great work cheers Glenn and Toni.
I like your relaxed style, real world test rides/reviews (bikes we can all afford not just the exotics), stuff you do with Greg and the track test reviews as you are a more than competent track rider. Your production and video quality are always second to none with a bit of humour thrown in for good measure.
I think you will achieve more of your life goals if you go for it, but only you can decide.
Best of luck whatever you decide, keep up the great work 👍😎
Go for it bud, making content for the normal bike fan like 99% of us are love all things two wheels and watching and gaining a proper insights to them, AM subscribing now!!!!
Good for you thinking big... it is a huge step, especially when you have a good solid well paid job... but without taking risks, nothing ever happens.
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you every success mate, you def have the knack of this TH-cam thing! 🙂
Go for it mate - give it 100%
Hey steady on Choppsie, I’m 60 still fit (only got 9 stents!) and 2 weeks ago took delivery of a Ducati V4SP Streetfighter after finding my KTM SDR a little boring! Yes most of my years are behind me but the fastest ones are in front of me! 😊😊
Yeah love the content love the comparisons really good shows. :)
Go for it Chops, your enthusiasm will make your channel successful, you have the connections and the experience on TH-cam so its not a shot in the dark… you are 80% there already.
Keep doing collaborations to help draw traffic as well as upping the video output 👍
Whatever you do I’m sure you’ll have a huge fan base mate because of your sincerity & enthusiasm. Greg & Mossie add brilliant perspectives too. Ride safe, best of luck.
Absolutely would love to see more videos, i love chops garage time and all the tinkering and reviews on the gadgets and not just the bikes :) i really enjoyed the "best of" series looking for the best fish and chips and the Cornish pasties. Nothing better than scoffing your face and riding bikes :).
Really enjoyed that! My unembellished brainfarts:
1) I come here for you, not anyone else. I'd not bring anyone else in...
2) Quality doesn't equal views. When I was at carwow we realised that there's a mediocre level of quality you need to hit and going above that is a waste of time and money (so many people watch on mobile without even turning their phone landscapewards...)
3) Don't sell yer H2!
My vote, go for it. Love your content, and would love to see more 1:1 comparisons and group tests. Enjoy the 44T collabs as well. Also need to figure out how to sign up for a membership, would be nice to have a set it and forgot it fund going to the channel every month.
I really enjoy your Channel Chop’s been watching your Channel for a long time now and I never get tired of it. Remember bringing celebrities to your Channel is also giving them more air time and helping them and there pocket. If you have a good job in I T I think its worth hanging on to right now. The I T world moves on so quickly and you take a year out will you be able to pick up where you left off!! There is a saying if it ain’t broken don’t fix it and you channel is bloody great anyway, so think it all through before you give up that good job buddy. Whatever you do I wish you all the luck in the world and I will always be here watching you whatever you are doing.
What you’re doing is great, good solid progress is good. IT will give you a good future, the channel can be part of that. My dad use to say, “if it an’t broke don’t fix it”. I sure whatever you do you your subscribers will support you.
The quality and quantity of your channel output is already excellent, so you’ve obviously got a talent for doing this. I’m pretty stunned that you also have a full time job.
Go for it!
You’ve got a great channel here Chopsy, from this much smaller creator and fellow motorcycle lover’s perspective. I reckon go for it if you want to. Your channel is good because of your honest approach and lack of BS. You can easily take it up a notch 👍👍
Go for it chops the channel will do so well!!
@lambchoprides pleasure to meet you on Sunday at loomies, i was on the rsv Mille r, see youre local to me at bishops waltham so let me know if you ever need a riding buddy 👍
Love the channel and I reckon it definitely has room to grow with just more content, would be cool to do a chopsy track day or a chopsy ride out
Chopsie, I love your channel because you make me feel like your best buddy and you are talking to me. There are many other massive bike channels that make great content, but they are not very 'personal'.
You won't know if doing more will work, but if you don't do it you won't know. Only you can decide what is best for you.
Best of luck with whatever you decide.
I've just turned 60 and I'm not too old to do new stuff.
Love the channel, made a huge life change a couple of years ago and don’t regret it one bit, and I’m 67 if you don’t go for it you will always ask yourself “if only”, now is the time.
Your channel is great as it is,having said that your plans can only improve it,go for it you'll only wonder what if if you don't,best of luck,I and many others will be watching ❤
Keep the flexible day job with big buck and just keep doing what you can and have fun m8!
Keep the channel & content as it is. Nothing needs to be better or done differently. Your mix of content is refreshing and different to the 'main' channels.
Whilst i understand that might change if you take this full time, however you have a very good base from which to build.
To be fair your doing a cracking job now ! . If you go into more it'll be knockout. Good luck what ever you decide.
Ultimately its your decision on the way forward for your channel, but here is my opinion for what it's worth. I subscribe to a lot of motorcycle channels, but I don't necessarily watch all of their content, but I do watch most of your content because I like your enthusiastic approach, knowledge, presenting style etc etc. I think Greg works great with you, but if I want to watch Mossy or someone else, I can probably find them on another channel. This channel is about you and how you present it and it works for me. I wish you luck on whatever you decide, just be careful turning something that you obviously enjoy into a full time occupation, it may not be as enjoyable then, but if you are not happy in your current job, well that's a different matter and maybe it's the right time to give it a go.
And one last thing, I'm in my 60's, had a couple of Tuonos until recently, ride out with people in their 70's, know people still riding in their 80's and therefore your a young whippersnapper!
I personally love watching. I really enjoy the garage builds and your reviews on bikes go a long way helped me choose my bike even gloves love the knox gloves best I've ever had so for me I enjoy it as it is but if there was future builds and product reviews would be nice. But whatever you do, I'd enjoy watching
Chopsy! Thanks for the cracking content you keep putting out! It sounds to me as though you want to do it, but you’re averse to the risk. Which I totally understand. However, by the sounds of what you are saying you would regret it if you didn’t give it the shot it deserves! If you ask me, you’re bound to succeed if you do it! & personally, I think you deserve to give it a massive crack! Behind you all the way big man!
👊👊👊
Choppsy I remember the bike race you did with the plane, it had me on the edge of my seat! More of that sort of content would be great.
Yes, I remember that one too - some of Chopsy's best work!
@@TheMissendenFlyer 😅 you were awesome too!
Great channel as is. American viewer and this is the only bike channel I watch. Love the reviews and builds. As a gen 2 Tuono rider would love to see some older less tech filled or vintage bikes thrown in for fun. Great chemistry between reviewers is more important than famous guests.
Love the channel , been watching you for years , what about patron route , and some group meet ups for patrons only
I love your channel especially your bike builds, these are excellent, you have some great creative skills on this front. Personally I would not give up you good day job for now. Maybe they Would let you do a four day week?
Follow your dreams chops. Life is too short . All the best mate 👍
I like your reviews, as they are the best No BS reviews for sporty road bikes for people who enjoy spirited rides, rather than just touring. If you do make the leap, make sure you don't lose what makes your channel so good now.
Chops, this is my favorite motorcycle channel (yes I'm American) I've been watching your channel for the past 5 years. Do what you want, like you said we are only getting older
Go for it mate, if you have a skill set you can fall back on then there is nothing to loose. Best of luck!
Hi John, I have to say this is one of the best channels I watch. It would be brilliant for you to do this full-time but please do not change how you present yourselve. I look forward to seeing more reviews, tests and the Ducati being finished !!!
Very best regards Mike 😊
Yes mate go full-time doing this you don't need to change what you doing on the channel is great I've watched from thr start .
I always look forward to watching your videos and I do think you are one of the best ones out there. And I do think that some of the other TH-camrs are struggling to find new content at the moment so if you can keep the interest going and do different things, which by the sound of it you think you can do go for it, otherwise you’ll it later on and always be wondering, should I have done that?👍🏻
I always look forward to your next videos so why not make something that’s very good into something even better. I say go for it mate.
Long term viewer of your channel and many others and can categorically state yours is my favourite. Colaboration with 44 teeth, teapot 1 would be great. More with Greg in particular garage discussions, news etc.. exciting times ahead.
Tough call. Whatever you decide I hope it works out. 👍
Hi Chopsy, first of all thank you for all the content. Few here can do the maths or understand TH-cam enough. However when BvG bumped into you at the biker cafe on his last video it was great to hear his pleasure at meeting you. You have an engaging personality and have produced great videos. From where I sit you are one of the premier UK bike TH-camrs. If you can make the maths work, go for it.
I love your youtube vids and Yeah the channel has huge potential, you need to post as many videos as possible , but another good way to up the game in my opinion would be to ride to different food places and have a meal there and review the food and the location with pictures of the food and the name of the restaurant or cafe etc , and also add a bit history of area that your going to , all that added with the bike reviews or good roads your riding on would be an awesome mix of goodies that people would love and you could take friends with you , and when you get to food places or historical location you could do cinematic pictures of bikes and food . Just an idea , there's a guy who does that in America and he has a couple of million subscribers , I know you said your not fond of adding reviews in the mix but I really think that would make the channel blow up in a good way
Really enjoy your channel Mr Chops going full time would create a lot of pressure and the enjoyment for yourself might wane . It’s a tough decision for you to make and I’m sure what ever you decided will be right for you. You’ve come this far trusting your own instincts 👍👍👍🏍️
more videos of the rebuild would be great Mr chops 🙏
💯 go for it
Superb video and I think most vloggers can relate to your quandaries. On a side note, I knew you were using a different camera within the first 10 seconds. The Action 4 is the best action cam I’ve ever used and the quality is outstanding as well as the sound in this video. 👌🎥🏍️
Would love to see more content, you make great vlogs and really do hope you tube takes off more for you to leave your job and get vlogging full time
Go for it 👍
YOLO Chopsie, go for it!
Hey Chopsie I have to say of all the channels yours is by far my favourite for bike content. The delivery, personality and humor is second to none, you’ve even made the top 3 of my 11 year olds channels 😂
Keep doing what you’re doing mate I’m with some of the other comments on here, the more professional and polished a channel is the more it feels like an advert rather than honest content.
Really enjoy channel as it is currently configured.
I have a 2012 Hyper and follow your Duc series with great interest.
Greg and Mossy are great and could be around more.
Not sure about Stars!
Your channel is one of my favorites! That being said giving up on a well paying secure IT job that will allow retirement would be a very tough call. Personally I'd say keep the job. Working a bit less though may be a good option.
As far as celebrities I would say having collabs with Kate would be awesome!
Think you should do some restoration builds from Barnes with your talented skills with a spanner iWatch all bike channels and they are very similar there are not enough bike builds or barn builds that would be entertaining 👌👌
GET THEM GIRLS BACK!!!
Mate in all seriousness, your channel is great. Its typically enjoyable content. You have wisdom. It may not always be about the bikes directly. But life experience in general, that helps with your reviews and rides.
Great vid Mr chops
You go with ya heart my man,I'm sure many of us want more videos of ya poodling about on bikes lol
Keep up the great work mate just all round Great entertainment
All the best 👍
