Hi @BeardGiant,

Welcome to MotoVlog.com.
Where are you from? What do you ride? Say hello, what do you like? Why are you here?

Got a photo of your bike?

Hello I am Andrew The Bearded Giant
I am from North Plains, Oregon in the USA (near Portland OR)
I ride a 2007 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe & 2017 Honda XR650L
I have a YouTube channel "The Bearded Giant" and want to start a moto vlog segment. I have posted a few rides but not a vlog, and I just built a vlogging helmet and will be posting my first official vlog tonight.
I am here to learn about Vlogging and improve my skill and technique.

I will post a pic or two tonight when I get home.

Royal Star, that's the one with V4 engine, right? I briefly considered that as my upgrade from previous bike, but they seem to be pretty rare here.

Yes, it is a V4. I really like the sound, a hint of old muscle car to it.

I have had the bike a week and half. Not anything more than some gravel roads. I have 28 years of riding cruisers and standards. This is my first "dirt" bike. So, I am working up to it. a lot to learn.

I'd love to have a dual sport or enduro bike, in the UK they get robbed all the time and after losing a KTM 200 EXC to thieves with only 10hrs on the engine, I can't face getting another. Are you gonna vlog your learning of dirty biking? I love that kind of vlog, watching someone learn how and the fun (and struggles) they go through on their journey.

I will do both bikes, so on the Yamaha, straight up riding on the road. On the Honda, I will work up to vlogging on the forest roads then trails. So, yes I will be sharing the learning and having fun on the new bike.
