John Wust, if you ever spend a few minutes socially with the TCMF all you’ll find he just is a self centred ego maniac. In conversation it’s just me me me me me, no interest in what other people have to say.
Just started following Bruce, and slowly getting through his round the world trip! Great vid. Many thanks!
Massive Thumbs up :-) Bruce is the one that inspired me to finaly do my motorcycle lisence after way to many years of "i'll do it next year....."
Wow. Missed this. Good to see you two together. I don't go on Facebook so without KZread I'd never know he existed Great job
I followed the heart and became a train driver (childhood dream)...I'm one of the most happy contented people I know....

Thanks for the interview with 'Teapot One'. Another great motovlogger to add to the top of my list where you reside. I like the sentiment you shared with 'Teapot'; Be yourself.

It's good to see all the different styles of filming and editing of the same trip, all of you guys and girls are an inspiration, keep up the good work.
Just want to say thanks to you both. I enjoy both of your vlogs - spent hours watching you both over the last year... hello and thanks from me and my Yamaha xv950r. Well done to you both. J

Lovely man Bruce. Only came across his channel last year when I was looking into doing the NC500 in a day. He was kind enough to reply to my questions and give me some positive feedback when I said that it was small time compared to his trips.
Great interview/chat. Have watched Teapot one's round the world trip. Awesome! Enjoyed this vlog so much, think I'll watch it again :-)

Thank you guys, you`re both AMAZING and truly inspiring for all those who want to either get involved in motorcycling trips or comeback to motorcycling after a long interval due to personal commitments, like me. Your channel and many others are the main reason we keep our dreams alive and learn every day through them and eventually put all to practice when we get back on the road one day. Please keep it up!!

i'm sure about 10 years ago Bruce pulled me over on my pedal bike in central london! i was working as a courier at the time and aparently i'd jumped the last 3 red lights! lol i said i didn't notice the lights as i was watching the traffic and pedestrians! got slapped with a £30 ticket! i now have a proper bike with an engine and i don't jump lights anymore! no hard feelings Bruce hehehehe!
Great interview TMF! been following all of you guys on your Toro tour. I'm so jelly you have that (Spain etc.) in your backyard...I'm stuck in Canada Freezing right now living vicariously thru you guys until spring.
I never did the round the world on a bike, but I backpacked around the world for 16 months, and I can completely agree on the blues when I came home. I was depressed and wanted to go again. Love your channels guys
Watch both of you guys. You have both been so inspirational as a new rider. Cheers 🍻

Live your life! Gentlemen, Dave here in Ohio, USA. A few months ago as my job ended I found myself spending a lot of time watching motorcycle related videos. I'm a rider and have had quite a few bikes and just love this passtime. I came across you two and you are still my favorites. Seems like now all the best are in the UK...have found and like Lamb Chops, 44Teeth guys are hilarious, Richy Vida....anyway. Thanks so much for what you do and who you are. Good people and I know are appreciated by many!

Can’t believe I’ve only just come across your channels, tops fellas both with great content 👍🏼
Just watched this as I've just come back from 'Toro Adventure' riding on/off road around the Spanish mountains like you guys. Great vid nearly 3 years ago now! I've just started watching both of you're channels and you are both a credit to the industry & Niche market to all things bike! I agree, so down to earth which makes your content sustainable & I'm sure you will both become the 'go to guys' to tell us about new products or other stuff associated with making life easier for us bikers or merely for entertainment. I just started a channel too, just learning at the minute but the place where you are when recording this vid gave me some great footage. Keep up the good work guys! Top Chaps!!

Excellent video. A nice insight into Bruce's outlook on life.
Now subscribed to Bruce's channel and look forward to watching both the round the world trip and his newer videos 👍
Enjoyable banter. Really love these get togethers.🏍👍
That was really good. Been watching TMF for quite a while now. Only found Teapot one a few weeks back when I found his video of him going round the UK on a GS. Sadly the battery was knackered and it broke down. I then started watching his round the world trip. I'm on episode 14 now I think. What a top bloke. Well keep up the good work guys. Your both better than TV.
Bruce seems such a down to earth guy 👍 Great to see these kind of vids ☺
Well done TMF. And well done Bruce. You two are polar opposites on camera, Bruce the calm and patient one who makes his points well and sincerely and TMF constantly keeping things moving and showing high enthusiasm. Bruce like a well aged single Malt and TMF like a double espresso. Great viewing. Thank you both.

Great episode of meet the vlogger, really enjoyed the shared perspectives, cheers :-)
Good to see you both in the same video and you are if I may say so, both a great inspiration to many who enjoy your travel blogs and humorous conversational overtures and to quote the great man himself " Just look at that!" :D

Reminds of the Tommy Cooper joke about the bloke who went for a job, interviewer asks: can you make tea?, "yes i can". Question 2, can you drive a forklift truck? "why how big is your teapot" I think you might have just interviewed Shrek!

Glad that you enjoy motivating others to follow in your footsteps (or bike tracks). After enjoying your NC500 videos, I set time aside, got on my bike and went for it. What a brilliant trip. Now at early planning stage for my Arctic Circle trip after watching you up there as well. Cheers for the inspiration.

Really enjoyed that!, I've met Bruce a couple of times and he's a very interesting and nice guy to talk to. I just post little films of my trips to Ireland or do photo montages of stuff, I don't want to be a vlogger but I would love to ' talk' to camera ...I guess it just takes practice and confidence! Cheers TMF, Steve
Great video and loved getting to know Bruce a little better.
Had the pleasure of meeting the man last year, and even got to ride with him for a few days. There is a vid....wink wink. Great interview TMF👍😜
