I tend to go in fits and starts with KZread. This year I have ramped up my riding time and mileage on all the bikes, but have mostly not been filming just enjoying the rides. That said I have a lot of editing to catch up on, as it’s summer I spend the evenings riding not editing so there is a big backlog. Just realised it’s been a couple of months since I last uploaded, maybe tonight I will get some edits done into the early hours. Anyway I don’t recon there is any big negative having a break, I am a regular at having big gaps. Chill and don’t feel under pressure… 👍

I know exactly how you feel mate. I’ve been in that exact same place. Getting kitted up and getting the bike out seems a chore, constantly thinking that every ride you do you have to take your cameras with you and post it to YT. Planning what your next video will be etc. I’m the opposite to where editing is concerned. I really dislike it and the amount of time it takes. I’m recovering after coming off my 1290 a couple of weeks ago, waiting to find out if it’s. Write off or not. And also pondering on whether to carry on riding. I have my 690 I can still use but just not in a position to cock my leg over it. Which ever you choose mate good luck. And I am a subscriber 😁👍🏻

Hi Jay, with your KTM stress, then the Spain trip, perhaps it’s got on top of you. Take a break, stop stressing yourself out. Content must be hard to maintain, tell yourself you’re not going to ride for two weeks, carry a notebook and write ideas as and when they come to you. There is nothing wrong with your presentation, sound or anything else. I’d say you’re well up to standard and a bit beyond compared to other channels. Remember to enjoy what you do, you’ve now got a cracking bike and you are making it your own. Catch you later

Man, I've talked about this in my videos before... stress kills creativity. Stress demotivates. If you're not feeling it, don't record. Just enjoy the ride for what it is, and when something comes to you that you want to share - do it :D It's 100% a grind, and EVERYONE'S experience is different. Some grow, some don't, and at the end of the day, it comes down to luck, timing, or some other intangible thing not directly related to the content itself. I've seen it for years. Good luck!

I wonder if when you dropped the bike in Spain psychologically you took a negative knock and not consciously aware. When we did Switzerland I had an episode that proper knocked my confidence and I was unsure I could continue I was even considering going home, proper messed my head up. On the YT side I gave up on that a few years ago I just make a video whenever now but agree it is the editing side I like too.

@garethskelding much appreciated buddy and yes you need to be flush for the oil can 😂👍🏻👍🏻

Once you have been adventure riding, off road with with incredible scenery (like your Spain trip).. road riding in UK is not appealing any more. Sometimes I struggle to go out on the bike just for the sake of it. I long for adventure and a challenge! I found this after riding ACT Portugal. You should look into the ACT trails (Adventure Country Tracks by Touratech), maybe look at the ACT UK?

@@CRAZYLEGSONABIKE Yeh, the ACT trails are designed specifically for big adventure bikes like your GS1250 and only require a little off road experience. There are hard sections which can be skipped with an alternate route. I believe the UK ACT is one of the hardest right enough.. but these trails can be downloaded to your GPS and are kept up to date. The Portugal ACT is epic!!! You can see on my channel.. you could even ride the Picos on the way there.. 🤔🤣 I'm in Scotland with easy access to unbelievable scenery, but its not the same and I think you know it. You've been bitten by the adventure bug.

Could be...I have seen mine go from 400 plus views to 20. Not sure what's been going on. I can't get subs and it just seems odd. I am doing it for me now rather than trying to fit in. Go back to the beginning and watch your early stuff.

I know where you’re coming from mate. I’m well Tony second year and not made500 subscribers yet. The bit that gets me is you take time to make a video edit it and when you’ve finished think it’s a work of art. Publish it and get not many views and comments let alone additional subs. Some put out vids terrible wind noise and crap edited footage and get thousands of views. I’m too late to the party should have carried on after making my first one 2019. Just step back but don’t give up

Mate ignore the dick heads you always get them. I think the way you but your videos together are spot on brilliant. Me and the wife are touring Ireland for two weeks and then the day after we get back for the first time going to the wildbad weekender. Looking forward to it but a bit anxious because we don’t know any one. Big thumbs up for me mate 👍 by the way The bike is looking great.
