On another site I posted that I was a moto-vloger and one thought it was a typo and asked me what moto-flogging was! Hmmm, sounds R-rated!

Floggers were a very popular subculture of teenagers here. Characterized by colorful clothing, weird looks, Bieber-esque haircuts, fast-paced, self centered and fast dance styles.They went extint in 2008 iirc. Bunch of guys begging for attention and internet presence in the form of pictures posted on Fotolog.com (from there comes the term Foto Bloggers) on the pre-facebook era. Facebook was already popular in the rest of the world but it didn't take off here as soon as on other countries.
There's an article about them here.
A moto-flogger would be the same colorful teen on a motorcycle? Looks like a dangerous combination.

Hmm, now that is something that I don't want to be confused with! I'd never heard of that term before, thanks!

What you're talking about? You quoted me perfectly

I only ever have to explain it when I want to show someone a video in which case I just say 'this dude talks to himself while riding his bike, just watch it you'll see what I mean' *proceed to shove phone / laptop / toaster into their face.

I just spent the last 90 minutes watching a guy take stuff apart.
I don't think there is a need to explain everything we like.
We.Just.Like.It.

Once at work I watched a two hour video of a guy taking apart an old and huge Canon high speed camera. Pretty uninteresting for most people but I was hooked up. I cannot enjoy a movie because I feel like I'm wasting my time but I can watch hour long videos of technology. Or motorcycles, there is a vlogger who took apart a motorcycle engine, another one that made a rebuild, those weren't 5 minute videos, they were easily 36 minutes or more.

I get asked a lot why I have a camera on my helmet and I just say that if I get killed while riding people will see my exact point of view and that usually discourages them from asking more questions about it considering I don't want to explain what I do in my free time because it sounds ridiculous to most people. My immediate group of friends know about it and people that follow me on Twitter, but I think they kinda get it after they watch it after not being told what it is exactly.

I do notice a lot of "looks" from people. I have my GoPro mounted on the side of the left side of the helmet. I notice people staring at it, trying to figure out WTF. One adjustment I did have to make is when I am traveling long distance, I take my lid with me to the restroom. On the last trip, walked about half way and then thought the better of bringing a camera into the mens room. Left it on the bike and covered it up best I could.
