I agree and still struggle with this (courage). Either it's the courage to talk to myself while riding or to continue talking with other vehicles around me and at stopped locations. Especially if I'm doing something like a bike review at a dealership on the showroom floor or walking around it before and after the demo ride. Thanks for sharing! Ride safe!
I find great audio is one of the biggest challenges. Started our channel to allow us to watch our rides when maybe we can’t ride as much in the future but then found others like watching to. Cheers Smithy
Thanks for the advice. A microphone is a great add-on but arguably not an absolute need starting out. A person could record a ride and add music or even record a voice-over during editing. If you watch Meg's Motorcycle Journey her earliest videos were all voice-over - no mics used during her (half-helmet) riding. Thanks again and ride safe!
good video and yep you're right those are the basics for sure.. just that simple as far as the items you need...just the courage and learning how things work and trying new things takes time for sure..I know my latest video I finally done something new with it and it literally took me almost an hr alone just to add the new part of the video that isn't in any of my other videos I've done to date..So not sure if it helps any or not or completely bombs out the vibe of the video but is what it is as far as I see it about that. Indeed though it definitely isn't a overnight thing creating a new channel and learning things for sure.
Y'now what Bob...out of all the comments from others...your comment makes the most sense for the intent of this video. I was trying to capture the (bare minimum) things that aspiring motovloggers need to start. And even though having a motorcycle is an assumed thing, NOTHING can be assumed at this time. LOL. Thank you! Ride safe my friend!
Thanks, John! It was intentional. Considering how intimidating motovlogging is to some (many) I focused on IMO the three minimal things necessary to begin. But a topic IS a good thing to have before or during a ride.
Courage to hit the record button. Yes Sir. Good message my friend. Hit the button, talk if you want and don't be so hard on yourself. Relax and find your path. Thanks for sharing.
Not me. I'm not ruining my motorcycle riding with all that Electronic junk.😂 But I'm glad everybody else does Because I sure love watching it.😂😂 Be careful, ride safe.
I'm probably an extreme example...lol. I know folks who DO record but only to capture their rides and memories for their kids and grandkids. Whatever path you chose, ride safe. Thanks for sharing kerrymcclure!! I appreciate it.
I do love my action cameras, but there are definitely a lot of folks out there doing A+ quality stuff with a phone. I personally can't stand editing with phone apps (last resort), but they are great for what they are!
We're in the same boat! I am not a fan of editing on my phone. I've done it...but I prefer a big monitor for my blind ass. LOL. Thanks for sharing your experiences and ride safe! Someone is reading your comment and being encouraged!
Nice video and I like the handguards with the indicators. And if you haven't got a bike you could be a back seat Motovlogger. I have no topics as i've eaten them all. Cheers
You've eaten them all? LOL Funny and cryptic thing to say...lol. And you're absolutely right! Nonna Grace rides on the back of her husband's Goldwing and does her recording. Thank you for making a brilliant point! Ride safe!!!
Yup, our first recording was with our phones. I edited it with Photoshop. That was in 2014...We didn't have a YT channel yet. I even mounted my phone on my top case to catch following me. She was riding her shadow and I was on my 92, 1500 wing.
These are great things to add to the motovlogger repertoire but I'd argue that it's not a necessity to start motovlogging. If a person wants to talk while they ride, it's helpful, but some folks ride and don't use a mic. But this is a definite item that would be greatly helpful. Thank you for commenting and have a blessed day!!!
LOL thanks, Ben! I left those out intentionally. These are the three things (minimum) that aspiring motovloggers have to buy or download first to start the adventure. These are great things to work on and develop. Ride safe!
Courage was the toughest part for me. You are so correct.
I agree and still struggle with this (courage). Either it's the courage to talk to myself while riding or to continue talking with other vehicles around me and at stopped locations.

Thanks for sharing, Doyle puts my videos together 👍👍👍👍

This is brilliant input Smithy! Thanks for adding some great wisdom!!! Ride safe!
Right on point Toby ! Well done. Press recording is something money cannot buy. Cheers amigo
Sometimes that's the hardest part - just pressing the record button. Thank you! I hope you are well! Ride safe!!!
Great tips Toby. It’s pretty simple but the after-effects of doing this are the great friends you make within the riding community.
I’m not a motovlogger.
I just video our little trips and other odd things and stick it up on RUclips. I’m pretty sure no one has heard my voice. 😃👍
You do a fantastic job with your content! A great mixture of capturing different aspects of rides.
Thanks for sharing these tips....and you need to make time to produce and edit the video.
Very true! I was focusing on the minimal physical things needed. Thanks for adding some great advice!!!
I have not pressed record in years
I see that! I hope you are doing well. Is this a temporary pause or permanent? I hope you are still riding.
@@TobyNorthEN I will start again at some point.
@@IchibanMoto You've got a great following! We look forward to your return.
@@TobyNorthEN awesome! also I have a new sticker pack to mail you. will send insta dm
4. Microphone too. Thank you for the video.

That's a great BOTD video!!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience!!! Ride safe!!!
Oh YEAH, #4, a motorcycle. Any kinda motorcycle.
Y'now what Bob...out of all the comments from others...your comment makes the most sense for the intent of this video.

You left one out, IMO: a topic. Something to talk about. :D Ride safe, Toby!
Thanks, John! It was intentional. Considering how intimidating motovlogging is to some (many) I focused on IMO the three minimal things necessary to begin. But a topic IS a good thing to have before or during a ride.

Exactly! I like that - "Relax and find your path." Thank you!!!
Awesome tips. What bar riser setup are you running?
Thanks! Thrashin Supply Co risers with Kraus handlebars.
Great tips Toby 👍, motovlogging doesn’t have to be difficult to do, just the basics like you said. 🙂🏍️👍
Hey Nick!! Exactly! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Sometimes the problem is (my problem) overthinking things. Just keep it simple. Ride safe!!!
Not me. I'm not ruining my motorcycle riding with all that Electronic junk.😂
But I'm glad everybody else does Because I sure love watching it.😂😂
Be careful, ride safe.

@@TobyNorthEN A Topic is a chocolate bar in the UK. As well as a subject of conversation. Not everyone gets my humour my apologies. Cheers
@@kimetogo there is absolutely no need to apologize lol. Thanks for sharing and educating!
It sounds so easy that maybe I could do it to lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣Oh, I think you know! You can do it...lol.
Yup, our first recording was with our phones. I edited it with Photoshop. That was in 2014...We didn't have a YT channel yet. I even mounted my phone on my top case to catch following me. She was riding her shadow and I was on my 92, 1500 wing.
Oh...the memories!!! I've heard testimonies of people getting very inventive to motovlog. Thank you for sharing Rich!!! You and Kate ride safe!!!
Get a good microphone. So people can hear you clearly. Make sure background music is not to loud.
These are great things to add to the motovlogger repertoire but I'd argue that it's not a necessity to start motovlogging.

You forgot Topics and a personality that ranks somewhere above wet cardboard
LOL thanks, Ben! I left those out intentionally. These are the three things (minimum) that aspiring motovloggers have to buy or download first to start the adventure. These are great things to work on and develop. Ride safe!
4) You need tough skin for all the trolls 🧌
SSSSHHHHHHH! 🤫🤫🤫You'll scare 'em all away! LOL. Thanks for the important input. Trolls are definitely a consideration as they progress. Ride safe!
