How I feel about my Honda Grom

So few people dedicate their lives to doing what they love. It's been a long journey for you Jodi but you're finally there. Doing what you love and being who you are. Isn't that what we're here for? You rock girl!

A. the bike is way cool. B. Jodie is beautiful. Not modern cheap beautiful, but deep soul beautiful. What an inspiring story. What an honest lovable spirit!

Jodie's story is so rare for a young woman nowadays. Her passion and drive is highly motivating, and maybe needs to be shared amongst youth who have had it sucked out of them. And I love the expression that she's found a bike that she melds so completely with, that there's no need to continue populating her stable.

You don't have to be a motorcycle person to love this story !

Enjoyed this piece. True moto spirit here. My wife is considering the TU250X for her return to motorcycles. She rode cruisers before our son was born, and years later, seeing the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" got her thinking of having a bike again, but not a cruiser (yay! from me a sport-tour/ADV-touring moto dude). How Jodie modified her TU is really well thought out, and using oversized tires is intriguing. Trying to tip my wife over onto the 'get your moto' side of the fence: returning to two-wheels at 52 has some apprehensions (she's already survived two serious motor vehicle accidents, one was life threatening - both non motorcycle related; me, one major motorcycle crash with a coyote strike)... but the simplicity and 'charming' nature of the little TU250X gem, and Jodie's take on it, have been a very pleasant eye-opener. Thanks.

I would like to thank you and Jodie for this Episode. The story is much more than just about a bike. Thank you guys. We are watching you. Ukraine, Kharkiv.

This was an amazing story, so genuine, very well produced and beautifully shot. I came across this video simply looking for reviews on the Suzuki 250 and was hooked after the first few minutes and got so much more out of it than just a simple endorsement for the Suzuki, I actually feel inspired. We need more videos like this on KZread.

What a sweet little film. Isn't amazing this passion we all share who truly love motorcycles. I started my girls on honda 50's and they progressed all the way to 150's and I can totally see them riding for the rest of their lives. Its an amazing thing when you empower a girl with her own 'motorbike'. And to the kooks commenting...get over you stupid selves she is an amazing 'person'. Good on you girl from laguna Beach Ca!!!

I'm getting a TU-250x as my first bike in a few weeks. Can't wait!

Amazing story of a strong woman. Thank you for sharing this unique story.

What a great video - I was very moved by your love of bikes - I have experienced similar feeling since first riding a BSA C11G over 50 years ago. Still get the same thrill. Good fortune with your journey through life Jodie

I love how this series has developed. We have moved away from the overly 'hipsters' types who took themselves a bit too seriously in the earlier films to the 'real' people. Dream,, Romance and Backup are my favourites

Thanks Alan. The first few episodes, while being great guys, were also the only ones willing to give up their time and step in front of the camera for me. I'm now have folks approaching me with their stories and am almost at a point where I'm spoilt for choice on what to do next.

Stories of Bike Keep these kinda stories coming! I really enjoyed Jodie's story and its just real and just plane human of what it is to fall in love with bikes. I cant stop watching this inspiring video. Ive repeated like 10 times :D Thank you!

Inspiring video: you don't need a big bike to develop a big grin; you need the right bike, the one you feel comfortable with.

1979 i was waiting for the bus, saw a guy going down north Avenue ..blue chopper feet were on the highway pegs ..forks extended..big sissy bar..I didnt take my eyes off him until i couldn't see him anymore.. I was 9..i never forgot that day.. Been riding ever since.. Great story and video..

im so glad for her! EVERYONE DESERVES to ride if they choose! :)

I used to watch this channel a lot during college. Probably stopped after I realized I wouldn't be owning a bike anytime soon. Happy to be back with my own SV bike now.

She reminds me my first girlfriend, back in 1990... the eyes, the smile, the color of the hair and the love for motorcycles. Too bad i'd put her away from me when she was only trying to be my friend and help me, 23 years later... sorry about that, Vanessa, but some men (like me) are too stupid to see kindness. All right, let's finish the soap opera... Great video, and a great character too! Jodie is an example for many people.

What a terrific story. As a rider of 25+ years, i totally understand Jodie's story. Well done.

good for u Jodie! Im an old guy{57 now} and have lived my years in western canada surrounded by cars,trucks and motorbikes and blue collar people.. Im happiest dreaming about ,cleaning them and driving or riding them..Enjoy ur life to the fullest,apologize for little and love those around u!!

Doing things you simply want are the coolest part of life.

Loved every second of this video. Captivating story and narration. 🎉

Love this episode. Revisit it every so often. I have a TU (actually, 2 TU's!)

This is the best FUCKING channel on KZread , bikes and motivation. what else do yo need

Very inspiring! Especially for a girl like me who loves motorcycles. Loved this story.

Just passed by to watch my favorite episode. :)

This is my favorite one of these yet and they are all so good. It's interesting how extensively bikes have influenced her life and guides her career.

Brilliant. Dorsnt matter which continent we are on, the passion is the same. Going round the bike shops collecting the leaflets and flicking through them until they were in tatters. Think my Dads attic still has boxes of them. Brought back great memories, thanks!

The first motorcycle I ever rode was a TU-250x. I took the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's basic rider course, and there just happened to be one bike left...the TU-250x. It was love at first sight, and it made riding and learning so much more fun. You may think it's a silly exaggeration to say "love at first sight," but those of you who have bikes know that I'm totally serious. Beautiful story, Jodie. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. :)

I never get tired of these stories, I never know which is best. The vision, the camera work,focus control the music. This is really, really good work. Well done

wow I caught myself crying what a great story.

I wasn't even born in the 80s, but I love their old look, so much nicer than the streamlined designs of modern motorcycles

Love seeing such videos. Makes me realize how fortunate it is to ride a bike and be extremely happy ...Nothing and Nothing coming in the way, lifes small pleasures

I love how she is very passionate about motorcycle. One of my favorites.

I really appreciate your work and the time you take. All your stuff just makes me happy.

This is one of the most inspiring stories in the Stories of Bike series. Thank you for sharing this story!!

Now that's passion. Love the sound of that bike.

I love this! Jodie is amazing! Way to stick to your dream!!

other episodes put me to sleep but not this one.. . dunno why ever since i discover this few days ago, i watched this at least 4-5 times a day. Jodie's story is so inspiring

This is my favorite episode, the story of Jodie is moving, a circle around the love for family and motorcycles. I also, as a child I was visually hit by a Triumph, parked outside an old palace of the times of viceroyalty in Downtown Mexico City, a vision that I treasure ever since. I ride bikes since 16, now I’m 56 is the passion of my life. In another order of ideas I would like to know something about the jacket that uses Jodie, it really is very nice, Gracias.

I do hope you still have that bike and your life is fun. Amazing video and I ride a 250, It makes me smile.❤

It's been a year since we posted Episode 10: Dream. Even with a bunch of mixed reactions, it's still one of, if not the most popular, episodes so far. Have another watch and share what you you got from Jodie's story.

Masterfully crafted! Great job!

My first bike after 40 years of not riding is a TU250 - bought because it reminded me of the Triumphs of the 50s and 60s. Even though I have a Tiger 1050, I still love the Suzi!

Probably the best video ever. You thoroughly understand bike passion.

Wow... Such an amazing story... I found love for the bikes when i was 10 yrs old... That was my dad's bike... All in my life, i learned from him... Even the bike... I love him and wish him health and happiness forever...

Such a good film and very moving story. I find it very inspiring to hear everyday people talk about their passions, and the things that motivate and make them happy.

Another crafted and creative film. Thank you Cam and your team.

I love this story. Jodie is an inspiration. Takes guts and strength to make changes in your life for the pursuit of happiness. Thanks Jodie and the film makers.

Man that bike is so awesome. Wish I had it. Love all its upgrades.

Excellent........my fav so far........I love how she articulates her thoughts and feelings...........this girl was meant to ride!!!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing your story.

A real sense of freedom and love for the motorcycle in your stories.

Great story, I love my TU as well. Thanks for posting !

Only just discovered this series, wow what a great story. Looking forward to viewing the rest of them.

Had tears in my eyes after watching your story

So glad things have turned out for you Jodie, but most important, you are happy!! very inspiring and cool story. Cheers from México!!

That´s amazing to see (or watch) the love for your own bike. The happyness shines in her eyes. Congratulations for a beautiful video, just like the history.

Loved the story. Dreams and passions make life worth living. Thanks for making this.

That was just brilliant. THAT is what bikes are all about. An awesome series. Thank you

Another in a series of awesome videos - great work SoB.

Story is cool. Music is awesome. Put smile on my face. Thanks.

Best episode of the series. Major props and respect for Jodie! Cheers from this side of the Pacific!

Had to revisit this video. Still love it!

The videos in this series are works of art. Beautiful video. Beautiful person.

Your short films are beautiful pieces of work. This is not just a throw away internet comment, it makes me want to gear up and go every episode.

I just love what you have done with your TU. It is stunning and very, very cool.

Ughhh. Just bought this bike stock and I love it. Amzing video

Another great story! Great to see the ladies represented

Brilliant story. Pure passion.

Beautiful bike! Love your story thanks for thanks💕

Love her bike, and really like her spirit. I would advise her to keep the bike. I bought one in 1987 that was just right for me. My friends used to ask when I was going to update to a new one, but the bike gave me what I wanted from a ride. So I kept it, and don't regret that decision at all.

I love the tu250x. That was the first bike a rode (at the msf course) very comfortable, fuel injected, not heavy at all, great style. I ended up buying a royal enfield continental gt 650, but I can say that my love for motorcycles started that day at the msf course on top of a Suzuki tu250x. Great video!!!!

Lovely little bike, I am so envious of that sunshine and dry roads, so different to our rain, dirty roads and traffic everywhere.

Thanks that was a blast to hear you're story..so nice to hear. And got me out the negative mindset I had fallen into.thank you!.x

Respect! Keep riding the wave of your dreams. Greetings from Italy, from a Guzzi rider

Outstanding job, as always. Fantastic film. Jodie, you ROCK. Cheers.

I just want to say that I love this Channel and how it portrays the bikers and biking culture. It just has so much soul in it. I mean there are a million videos out there about motorcycling but this channel is the most "human" I guess. I just fall in love with each and every story. The editing is really good as well.
