~Motorcycle Videographers~

Why do you vlog on your motorcycle?

I do it because it gives me something to do on my long stretches of road to and from work, and it also gives me something to do in my down time at home. In other words it keeps me busy, and not to mention you never know what you will capture on video. That's another big reason why I do it. So what's your reasons for doing it.

I once heard that talking about your problems to someone OTHER than your spouse or family, helps your mental well being. For me being on the open road riding has a calming effect on the human psyche. ( Unless you get some asshole cager trying to kill you.) So I get the mental benefits of 2 for 1 and it doesn't cost you $200 an hour. Of course, because it's fun is a bonus.; ▶ Reply to This

Now, I do it for a different reason, and that is to meet people who share the same thrill for the sport of riding and documenting some of the adventure along the way.

I also do it for the fanatics. You know who you are. ;-); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Craig on September 22, 2008 at 4:11am: well it will be a couple of months before I start vlogging on the bike, but i've done a couple in the car, so the main reason is to help educate others, sometimes you want to hear someone elses experience rather than someone trying to sell you something. However, with different topics and different idea's you can just chat away about and see how others feel about it.; ▶ Reply to This

It was a cold, rainy week here and I was itching to ride. So I dug out some videos of past rides on the Dragon and some from around here , before I moved here. What fun watching those clips!! And the sounds of my old BMW's. So now I'm itching more than ever to hit some mountain roads.
