Hi Guys,

My Name is actually Steve but after flicking through a dictionary looking for some random arse word to use as a username I Found Footle and just liked it as a word :)

So i'm new to vlogging but the concept is not unfamilier to me. My lazy college free's were mostly spent watching Motovlogs from the likes of Extreme601, Motorius67, Jamie4danielle < (simply because he has a YZF R125), Carlsant1, Friz020 and a few others. Always interested me when I was sat at my laptop listening to my business teacher rant on about the tertiary sector and other garble. So I turned 17 and did My CBT 3 days after my birthday, Passed and went straight to the local garage on the back of my instructors Four valve bandit, struggling to hold on :roll: As I was eagerly waiting outside with my uncle and his cbr 600 rr (Only rider in the family, besides myself) I saw the garage mechanic roll out my 2011 brand new, 0 miles blue and black YZF R125. Fell in love there and then. I know its only a 125 but it's modeled on the r6 and r1 and is just a beautiful bike. Had a little run on it in a nearby street just to get a feel for it, It's quite difficult to ride by comparison to the chinese cruiser I did the CBT on but after the little run, Felt much more confident. Now after Leaving college with a small btec in business I managed to get a Job as an office administrator with a payroll company which gave me a steady income so I made a couple or adjustments to the bike. An Akrapovic Exhaust, Rear seat Cowl and a double bubble screen. I have high sided the bike twice due to bad weather, inexperience and cars :evil: However now I have done 11,000 miles in 10 months and feel ready for Motovlogging.

So one payday I bought the Drift HD. Reason for not buying the GoPro is that I thought the drift was a bit more streamlined for a helmet camera, Plus I can't surf so Didn;t really fancy it. The drift is just as good as the GoPro IMO and I was going to buy a GoPro to accompany the drift but I think i'll wait for a bit more interest in my videos (If it happens) and also many more subs.

Still Trying to work out The mic and positioning but once I have sorted this out I will Finally begin Motovlogging and hopefully reach the Hall of fame in a couple of years :)

If you have read this, Thanks and I hope you Enjoi my channel.

Steve

Hello!

Funny, "Footle" means to waste time and talk nonsense.
I know one of those things applies to motovlogging! :p

Hi Steve and welcome along! :)

I like the R125, one of my friends used to have one and I was pretty impressed at how well it kept up with the rest of us on a day run. Mind you, I don't think he was too comfortable at the end of it :lol:

Its quite nippy for a 125 considering it's not a 2 stroke. Not too sure about comfort, I find it alright, But then again I have got some 'padding' :D

Welcome to the forums fella, I'm feeling the yzf125r, it is possibly the best looking 125 out there.
