The struggle is real my friend. As a very small TH-cam moto-vlogger, I'm also in it for the fun and sharing my silly adventures. I tend to just ramble about what is on my mind in my videos. Just keep on vlogging on.
@@CarlTheSidekick hell yeah, that’s awesome to hear! Glad you are enjoying the content. For sure, I’m down to ride! I want to get a few local people together and do a ride at some point.
First: I use the Quadlock as well, have two mounted on two different motorcycles. Both have the vibration dampener and very happy with the product. Will soon be ordering a third unit for my wife's Can Am Ryker. Second: Keep your channel as is. You have a definite niche market and if it makes you happy, stay with it. As I viewed this video, you were receiving a 20 percent response rate from viewers, which is a higher rate than many other channels. It is better to do something you enjoy. Take that advice from someone who is retired and enjoying life ... and riding motorcycles with my wife.
@@andykober2283 that’s awesome! I agree 100%, the quad lock is pretty sweet. I have been enjoying it so far for sure. Appreciate the advice, I am for sure not giving up!
I enjoy your channel. I like when you ride and BS, no matter the content I will watch. I have the paranoia of leaving something behind. Keep my bike keys and house keys separate. Left work one day and forgot house keys, had to make a 44 mile round trip to get the house keys. I live in S. California and there is a gas station about 2 hours from me in Fullerton that sells 100 octane at the pump. Will go there a few times a year and fill up. Maybe you can see if you have same in Washington and fill up with 100 octane. You will not feel one bit of difference in your engine power with 100 octane. All the best, keep on bikin'.
@@ac2-rm141 that’s so cool to hear, I’m so grateful that you are here and enjoying the content! Holy crap dude, that’s my biggest fear. Leaving something behind and having to go back. At least you got to do it on a bike 😂 Yeah, I’ll have to try 100 octane out! Ride safe!
@@szymonkonieczek2857 much appreciated 🙏 Yep, it’s a Rebel 500. I love riding it and I totally recommend it to anyone interested. If you are more experienced, you may enjoy the Rebel 1100 with the added features.
I’ve been riding about exactly the same amount of time as you and have been following you for quite a while. Keep doing what makes you happy. I like the longer ones, admittedly I’ll fast forward thru at times but I personally don’t get much out of the shorts. A serious question, have you thought about moving on from the Rebel 500? I’ve been running with mine as long as you and I’ve been seriously pondering it. What are your thoughts?
@@JamieFalzon-j3u that’s really cool, I’m glad that I’ve been able to do decent enough content that you have wanted to stick around! What parts do you normally find yourself fast forwarding through? Yeah, I have seriously thought about upgrading from my Rebel 500. Part of the issue is that I’m not sure what I want to upgrade to. I really liked the Rebel 1100 and the Indian Scout, but there are other bikes I really want to try also. I don’t think I’ve fully outgrown the 500 and can still have an awesome time on it, but I also find myself wanting to try something new. What are your thoughts?
@@evergreenmotoI fast forward through things like tips you may give that I’m already aware of, mods that I have already made, but for the most part I watch it all. I find your videos far less pretentious than many of the others out there and you’re incredibly relatable. So I do enjoy listening. In terms of bikes, I’ve been looking at the Triumph bobber, the Harley Nightster, and the 1100 is another consideration but not DCT.
@@JamieFalzon-j3u well I appreciate the kind words! That all makes sense. For sure, those bikes are all super cool. I hopefully want to try all of them out at some point.
It’s just a form of ocd/anxiety… everyone has something similar whether they realize or admit it. For example; maybe a person has a thing about making sure the stove is off before they leave. So they like count the burners saying off, off, off, off; then go to bathroom and head to the door to leave then go ‘is the stove off’ & go back to the stove going ‘off, off, off, off’. If before going out the door, they’re further distracted they may again return to the stove, ‘off, off, off, off’… at least you make practice of slow speed skills when doing figure 8’s and checking for stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff.. lol it’s human nature, behavior patterns, settling anxiety, coping/survival skills, being human. IMO, I don’t like ‘shorts’ at all. Supposedly those target the “omega” generation…many that can’t buy or pay attention long enough to watch a full video. I don’t know statistically how much research they dump into these sort of issues, but I imagine a lot of money goes into it. If you enjoy doing something, keep doing it as long as you have fun, that’s what matters. I’m just starting to ride again after 15 years of not riding. I also bought one GoPro to test how much I may like motovlogging. If I like it, I’ll buy a 360 camera to add and just ride. There are plenty of roads to go around for everyone to have an adventure!
@@yygffgg Great points! I really like your outlook, and I never thought about doing figure eights killing two birds with one stone. Making sure I didn’t leave anything AND practicing slow speed maneuvers. It’s just my begging of riding ritual at this point. Ride safe, good luck with the videos!

@@kentuckyadv for sure, appreciate it! Sometimes it’s really nice to just get out and say whatever is on your mind.
I always get excited when I see a new Evergreen Motovlog video! Even if I moved on from a Rebel 500, I’d still watch. Keep it up dude. Let’s ride!

It can!! just don’t expect it to cash flow. :p
@@MrCotto01 haha, fair. The eventual goal is to have it cash flow so that I can invest more time into making content!

keep going with your dreams, make videos and you'll make it as i believe in you
also is that a rebel? if yes, do you enjoy riding it and would you recommend it as well?

I keep my phone in my pocket. Just in case I am separated from my bike.
That’s a really good point.
