Oh Matt as a long term follower of the channell I was shocked to hear of your medical issues some of the places I have seen due to your bike reviews are inspiring keep up the good work 🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️

You said you felt you owed us an update Matt but in truth, you owe none of us anything. If there's a debt, it is ours in gratitude for your refreshingly honest and insightful opinions on all things biking that I have watched for several years without ever having to pay a penny. Your courageous decision to tell us about your ongoing condition is equally commendable and I would just like to mirror the comments below in wishing you all the very best, fingers crossed for the December scan and please don't feel any pressure to put out any updates unless you wish to and maybe feel that doing so offers a degree of catharsis. All the very best, Martin D

Hello Mat, what a considered, uplifting and heartfelt piece to camera. As fellow biker diagnosed with the c just two weeks ago, I am truly humbled by your bravery and courage. Here's to you, and I will be following your personal blogs all the way. With very best of wishes to you and your family.

Blimey, that was a spinout. The Missus and I have both been there and come out the other side, in her case almost 30 years ago. There is plenty of hope. All the very best of fortune to you and your other half. If you're in Normandy, we might even see you. Much loved and very old Yamaha TDM will be the giveaway. Paul in Oz and Normandy.

Very sorry to hear about your health situation, as you say yourself, keep on keeping on. I have always enjoyed your content and thank you for all you have done so far. From a fellow biker in New Zealand who has lived through brain cancer and all of its effects.

I’m sorry we lost you. You were one of my favorite KZread motorcycles journo’s. Really enjoyed the videos about your own MT09. Ride free up there!!

This man was a great inspiration to my motorbike riding career for the last 25 yrs, ride in peace my friend, I am so sorry we lost touch but that is part of life.

Probably it's the first time I write something on your channel. Maybe the last 10 years I've been viewing and enjoying your videos and I want to wish you the best. Your way of dealing with such a complicated situation is admirable. Good luck Mat.

Godspeed Matt. You have blessed us with the best and most interesting content and reviews over the years. We love you.

Hi Mat. Hope you heal up completely. Praying for you. I hope to hear your bike and gear reviews for years to come.

You are an absolute inspiration. Keep fighting, stay strong and good luck.

I don't really ever comment on things, but feel the urge to on this. Truly inspirational Matt, an absolute warrior. You show that you don't need to be 'rolling in money' as you put it, in order to make the most of life despite the crap it throws at you sometimes. I view all kinds of motorcycle channels, but you are in my opinion in a different league to them all and deserving of much more recognition. Keep fighting and Godspeed 👍

I am so glad you are better, Matt. I hope you keep on improving and find yourself on a bike’s saddle very soon. Very best wishes for you, buddy.

I will be looking greatly forward to seeing you BACK on a motorcycle again Matt - so much, that I have acctually just preserved one can of a very special imported beer in my fridge, dedicated solely to this upcoming moment. You're a champ mate!

Prayers go out to you Matt ,that vlog took some guts mate. Keep plugging away mate because who else is gonna speak for us grumpy over 50s.

Respect to a real decent man,that described things in a way that was very clear yet entertaining and fun. I have been touched in a way I never thought I would by the way you have discussed your illness so openly. RIP Matt, I sincerely hope that your last days were spent happily with your family and dogs by your side. So long buddy.

Greetings from California! Matt, I've been following your channel for years, since you started vlogging from that goofy cafe in South Africa. You continue to be my favorite moto journalist, with a sharp whit and astonishing skill with the spoken word. Please know that we yanks are with you on your journey. Whatever the future holds, I'll be tuning in. We've never met but I feel as if we are friends, or at least kindred spirits. I am 65 and also struggling the various maladies that come with age. I still get out regularly on a sport tourer and on a roadster. Stay strong, brother, and know that we've got your back.

Thank you for sharing your talents, passion, and story Matt. Looking forward to new content, and wish you the very best. Cheers

What great spirit your showing Matt best wishes from the UK and im looking forward to watching your personal vlogs

Great hearing from you, You are a ray of sunshine in the motorcycle world, hope to see more of your vlogs in the coming years, stay strong ❤

Very sorry to hear of your health, but encouraged to hear you are doing better!

Love and respect Mat. I hope you're having fun on your bike soon.

Mat - very happy to hear your personal update. Continued positive waves for you and yours from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. If anyone can kick cancer’s ass it’s you with the love and support of all of your Bike Show family around the world. Massive virtual hug from here!

Good to hear you are you getting better and keep strong biking is a therapy in its self

Thanks for the update, definitely praying for you and your family!

Great show and respect for your honesty. Hope the next few months bring you good news.

Wow! Planning on you being around for years! Prayers for your continued health. Cheers!😊

Hi Matt, I have been watching your show for many years, first when you started the Bike Show on Ignition TV and later I subscribed to your KZread channel to get your valuable insights on new models. As a biker for over 50 years, I have owned many bikes and still want to own many more. One of the memorable bikes I owned was 2016 BMW S1000XR I believe you had one too. Currently I own a Yamaha Tracer 900, and I'm aware that you have a similar bike, dare I say we have similar tastes when it comes to motorcycles? I started watching this review and immediately noticed that your appearance had changed. It was somewhat shocking to hear the ordeal that you have had. I admire how you have handled it and your honest account of your struggle to fight this terrible disease. I admire your determination to fight and get back in the saddle, this is an inspiration to me. Get well soon and I look forward to many more years of watching your excellent reviews.

Matt, you're an inspiration.. I've been following your channel for over 6 years and your reviews are one of my favorites.. I wish you well and just keep doin what your heart wants... I hope to see you ride again...

Matt, I extend to you my deepest respect - your openness and willingness to be fully 'seen' as you are experiencing your life as it is right now is humbling. I am happy to hear that everything seems to be better. Salut.

I hope you get better soon Matt. You are a great person indeed

Hang in there! Keeping all my fingers crossed for you to get better and stay that way!

You absolute legend - keep 💪🏽 and we look forward to many more videos!

Stay positive and keep your family close and don’t stop mate. We will keep watching!

Can't wait for the travel updates, and plenty of them, love from uk to you and your family ❤

I really enjoy your channel and am sorry about your health issues. We're all rooting for you!

One of the most moving things I have ever seen or heard. Such courage and grace in the face of such terror. I can only admire you and your loved ones true inspiration for anyone else suffering a health crisis. All I can offer is positive vibes sent trough the ether.

I'm wishing you all the best Matt! Keep up the wonderful work you and we love!

Loads of LOVE to both of you!

Much love, Mat💙 Thanks for the update and sharing your personal story. Your passion has always been infectious and continues to be so! No doubt you’ll fall into that 20%. Thanks for all you continue to do. Keep giving that disease everything it can handle. You’re as tough and courageous as they come.🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 #Legend

Thank you for sharing Matt. Please get well soon. Love John

I love your videos, the way you review things, very detailed and pertinent comments.. I hope you get better and better 💪🏻

Great Bike video as always and glad to hear the treatment is working so well for you.

Godspeed my Man, sending you positive vibes from Arizona USA.

Best of luck. I had absolutely no idea what you were/ are going thru. Best of wishes to you and your loved ones.

Good luck Matt I have always enjoyed your show and really hope you recover and have the joy of many more journeys From sunny South Africa

It is great to hear that you are getting better, all the very best wishes

WOW! So brave and generous of you to share such an honest account of your illness and the challenges it's presenting you with. Inspiring stuff! ❤

Glad to see things are going the right way for you and sincerely hope that continues. An inspiring and uplifting update on your condition and your frankness about how it's affecting you. Your motorcycle reviews and commentaries are amongst the best on KZread and something I always look forward to. I'm looking forward to seeing many more in the years to come. Stay strong in your efforts to beat this thing.

Greetings from California, Mat. Like most viewers of your channel I've enjoyed your content for years and have benefitted from your wealth of motorcycling knowledge and your seamless and entertaining way of articulating all things two-wheel related--thank you for everything. I wish you well, sir, and here's to hoping you're in the 20%. If nothing else, you're in the 1% of the best moto-journalists to have ever graced the motorcycling world.

Good luck to you Matt. Your attitude is an inspiration. Look forward to watching your new channel.

Thank for the courage you have shown sharing this update on your treatment. We are all routing for you matt. My dad was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer and he was able to live for another 3 years and continue an active life. With the advancement in medical technology the cure for all cancers could be just round the corner

Wishing you all the best Mat. Stay strong!!!!!

You have already paid us back Matt with great content , all the best mate . Paul from Brisbane Australia 🌏

Looking forward to see you recover and give my best to your family also as they carry much thru this difficult time. Stay strong and keep doing what you are doing Matt, cheers from Sweden.
