Carlos & Co., aka Ride on Amigos, is the reason of why I wake up early on Saturdays, and my second favorite channel, my first one is my own channel!
How come you were away from bikes so long?
Doesn't help that I'm a truck driver, so I see the ability of the general public to drive degrade on a daily basis. But we're in a place now that I can avoid most of it while riding, and motorcycles are a huge part of me, and I needed it back, so screw it. It's cheaper than a shrink! lol
Thank you for the list! I got some YT watching to do!AW Thank you @motosera
Alex Chacon and On Her Bike were who really inspired me to start making content. Although Alex hasn't made motorcycle specific content for a while, I really loved how he included footage off the bike and made an emphasis on changing camera angles etc.
Other faves I really enjoy:
- Sterling Noren (Motorcycle Travel Channel) -he is one of my filmmaking heroes so I was so excited when he started making Youtube Videos this last year.
- Ride to Food
- Be Gone for Good
- Scrambler Stories
- Doodle on a Motorcycle
- Killswitch Queen
- FTA Adventures
- Meghan Stark
- Nora
- For the Love of Knobs (but I'm biased since he's my friend IRL)
- 2 Wheeled Rider
- c90adventures (again many other votes already)
- William Gloege (when he uploads)
- Got 2 Go (as many others have already said)
- Moto Feelz
lol sorry not sorry for the long list. I can't pick one. But these ones I pretty much watch everything they put up.
Right now the one I watch consistently is SmoaksVlogs, Shawn Smoaks. I generally don't miss one. While not a motovlog per se, I love Uncle Tony's Garage. We'd be cousins at the very least. I subscribe to a lot, and I mean a lot, but I don't watch everything they put out. No time for that. I find some go for low hanging fruit and are cardboard cutouts but it works for them some how as they get popular quickly...and some are damn authentic and that's what I like I guess. People that have character instead of focusing on being a brand and popular first. If you think about it, the idea of a brand is what you want the public to think you are, not necessarily what you are, which can have control as an issue. Kind of like reality shows that aren't reality. It becomes schtick or is. Some vloggers go down that road and are successful. I prefer direct cinema/break the 4th wall, at least with YT. Itchymoche n Vee is decent, Robin The Lady Biker and another woman vlogger, Whit Meza. She seems very real. Now, from a composition/cinemagraphic POV, Million Dollar Bogan does some interesting stuff on some of his videos. All I can say is, be you, if people like it cool, if they don't, screw it, do it anyway. I try not to get hung up on, oh, if I do this, it won't go over well...or whatever. I guess I am looking at it from a different POV. for me, I am nearing retirement and this is a venue for me to jump and be engaged in something. Anyway, that's my long winded reply...
IDK. I'm from NY. I don't bleep out anything, but I don't curse heavily, but I will let words fly at times. Maybe that's my problem, I don't know my target demo or really who watches my videos. I just started so with some things data isn't available yet. It's funny you mention the PA. I actually signed up for a demo ride at the end of next month. I will record that...But it's not the main thrust at all. A lot of vlogs have gone down the road of motojournalist's junkets. Get feted with beer, food, bikes and lodging and they play along. Seems everyone did the indian chief deno and. before that everyone had a Ruroc helmet. I would do test rides, but be warned I will be direct and unvarnished. With stuff like helmets and such, I wouldn't do it to keep the product. It's actually considered income. Send it back or like with any reviews I've done, I've bought it myself, no strings attached. It's kind of the Scotty Kilmer thing. Thanks for replying.You know what? You're 100% right ... BE YOURSELF! I briefly went down the road of trying to be meme-heavy, do topics that are popular at the time [Pan America], but at the end of the day, I just let my personality shine, and bleep out the expletives later, and I find I enjoy editing those videos more, it's easier, and people seem to be responding, however slowly. Now I make videos that I want to make that I think others may enjoy, and if they don't, well then they weren't my target demographic to begin with. I still do some current events stuff, but that dies out.
The crowd here has been very helpful with this, and I thank all of you for that guidance.
