A short bio, if you may. I've very recently got into riding motorcycles although having wanted to for some years whilst being a poor student which could barely afford weekly shopping let alone a CBT and all the paraphernalia that surrounds motorcycling. I've been very much into road cycling for the past 12 months hence my video intro which is mostly just to practice a bit of video editing and playing with dashware, I love data! Anyway I bought a camera because recently having a run in with a Range rover on my bicycle threatening me and blocking the road with the car the polices reaction was simply. "You can't really prove anything happened without evidence or a witness, we suggest buying helmet camera". So I thought now I have a motorcycle as well it was worth the investment and I could document the riding of said vehicle for the benefit of friends family and strangers. Thought it would be interesting documenting the learning process and passing tests, moving up to bigger bikes etc.

Being an only child, talking to myself is an unfortunate addiction so don't be too worried about a learner trying to motovlog and distracting his attention. I've been nattering away to myself on the bike ever since doing the CBT when no microphone or camera was in sight. Although I'm not entirely sure this is something you should admit on the internet. But if you can't enjoy a conversation out loud to yourself how do you expect anybody else to find you interesting?

I enjoy puns, silly accents and poking fun at cliches which I'm not terribly good at. But watching the video I've made a couple times it still makes me laugh. Which is good enough for me.. Doing a proper review for such a common bike makes nigh on little sense. My actual Drift camera comes tomorrow I think so hopefully should have some proper videos up soon of which I can promise silliness, puns, and a poor grasp of how to use video editing software.

Cheers for replying felt all lonely for a while there. Thanks for the sub too, I'm all mounted up and ready for tomorrow's commute through sunny Warwickshire!
 
Hiya! .. hrm ... subbed ... im also a newbie ... dunno how i feel about the fake accent in that ... not bad! .. but ... ummm... yeah i dunno! ;)

definately a different style!! .. if i may say this with the best of intentions and a friendly smile.... it was a bit like watching Hannibal Lecter being interested in bikes and videos! ... ;) :lol: .. which is cool !!

dunno about the 'everyone out there' .. i usually get interested in vids where the rider is just being themselves and not hamming it up too much ..

saying that .. im trying to get more 'me' in my vids... and resist the temptation to go all b-grade documentary wannabe! .. its tough!!.. so many things to talk about with a camera running!! ..

anyhoo... looking forward to seeing your vids and how they develop!

:)
 
Ha, I like your tone apologetically critical :D. I agree being yourself is good, but I felt I was true to character I love making bad jokes being purposely awkward and doing terrible accents. Those things make me laugh so its hopefully a good reflection of reality even if its not everyones cup of tea. Besides that it was mostly meant to be mostly a parody of review videos where the person doesn't really know what to say.

Also the intro clips of a lot of of motovloggers where they swear at a car and play 4 bars of dubstep make me chuckle so felt it was worth poking a bit of fun at that too.
Thanks for subscribing, was obviously rough around the edges and while I've been in student films before but not confident with "performance" by any means.
I'm also very new to the whole editing debacle so I hope videos will improve with time and end up with something fun, entertaining and interesting.
