Fellow Ninja 300 riders share a common experience. We relate as the little Ninja 300 is hard to describe. I don't commute on my 300 and keep it for quick rides around town and urban areas after dark. It's a fun plaything and that's all it needs to be. I have other motorcycles for commuting or going touring but I still return to my little 300. The stock exhaust is a plus as the bike doesn't attract attention when it's got a full head of steam up, perfect for hooning around in stealth mode.
my advise is to leave the channel up ... reason is you have a lot of helpful info out there that will help new riders and inform people on how to do things. you are an inspiration so keep that out there for others that are looking
Yes, absolutely please keep this channel up. Your videos and your personality are incredibly inspiring to prospective new riders like me. I've had my eye on the Ninja 300 (haven't got it yet) for about a week before i saw your videos, but if i hadn't; your channel _will_ have gotten me into the Ninja 300. You are just so positive about that bike and everything else. You are also one of the few people who has only a bike for commuting, and has stuck with the 300 as your main; something that is almost universally non-recommended by so many. For me, your Vblog is a little similar to moving to a completely non-english speaking country (like Japan), as opposed to just visiting, which so many recommend. It's a whole another experience between visiting for a while, and taking a leap to move somewhere like that; just like you who've taken the leap to get only a bike, and inadvertently inspiring thousands on the way. When you decide to visit your channel in a while, there will many new bike riders that have come about because of you; remember that.
Please please please keep it up I just purchased basically a brand new 2015 ninja 300 and this channel is beyond helpful for us new riders. Hell your channel could probably save lives.
I agree if you add a few ads in the videos you can make a little change if you keep them up. I for one am a new rider and just found your channel. and have NOT gotten the time to watch them all
Kinda had a feeling, we kinda knew, buddy we wish you nothing but the best, may your future endeavours be all your heart desires and may they bring you wealth and joy. Thanks for the great videos and for the education and fun. You will be always a part of bikelife and the motorcycle community. Ps.. keep your channel, it will be something awesome to look back in the future. Your friends Mr. And Mrs.K KawaKouple
Same here :( I just discovrred it a few weeks ago. Today i just clicked on his videos tab to see whats new, and now I'm watching this video and I'm getting pretty sad. Hes part of the reason I chose a ninja 300 as my first bike. I love his enthusiasm, and the knowledge he shared. I just hope hes doing okay in life, whether hes riding a bike still or not. I really really apreciate his videos and knowing there isnt any more coming may or many not have gotten some tears out of me. I cant confirm or deny that one.. :/
Miss you...come back back. Watched your vlogs two gears ago in hopes of getting a motorcycle..got a ninja 300 abs 2017. Thanks for inspiring me to ride. I’m still waiting your return, while having fun riding during this quarantine.
Please, leave the chanell, TLR. Don't delete it, cause it has a lot of interesting content. I know what you're going through, man. I'm 30, my car broke down, my oven almost caught fire and salary still kinda sucks. But hey, Rome wasn't built for a day :) Good luck and God speed, man! Be safe :) Best wishes from Bulgaria.
Leave your channel. I learned so much from you. You have some great content. I would love to see an update on your life maybe once a year? Even if it's not motoblogging. I wish you well.
Don't feel like this has been wasted time. Since I found your channel, I bought a Ninja 300 and just finished my MSF course last weekend. You've made a huge impact on my motorcycle interests. Good luck on your future endeavors :)
Well darn... 2 years 2 late. Just found the channel. If you ever come back and read this, I love the videos. I'm gonna binge watch them all. Hopefully you're doing good at this point in your life 👌 congrats on the 10k subs BTW
Man you have no idea how much you have taught and encouraged me these last few weeks. Got my Motorcycle license a few years ago and decided this was the year I’d buy my first bike. Didn’t initially know where to start and after research kinda fell in love with the ninja 300 before I ever even seen one in person. Watching your videos has made my decision to buy one even stronger and has gave me so much more confidence in perusing my goal to own and ride a bike safely. Even months after you have gave up moto blogging your videos are still helping people to this day. Your time making them will touch many and possibly save lives. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
I saw this video when it originally came out but I never left a comment. I don’t know if you will see this but I would like to say thanks, you are one of my biggest inspiration to get into the world of motorcycles. Namely my interest in starter bikes, the Ninja 300. You influenced me a lot in my decisions on safety gear, defensive riding, tips, all kinds of topics you’ve covered. This summer I’ll actually be getting a Ninja 300 Winter Test Edition, and I don’t believe I ever got to say thank you for the inspiration.
I find myself coming back to this channel every once in a while. Hope you’re doing good wherever you are man. You helped me a lot 2 years ago when I first started riding.
Just came across your channel after buying my first bike a ninja 300 and I love it, it's been about a month and I've put 4000km on it I go out 3-7 hours a day just having a blast. I honestly feel I'm in the same boat tho. Works not been great and my only excuse for not looking for another job is because "now I get time to play with my new toy" I wish you all the best. I really hope after all this time you get to find something that makes you happy, just know these few videos I've watched of you I feel upset that you couldn't have more people following you.
Gunna miss your videos dude. You're one of the few motovloggers I know of on YT that have used a 300cc class bike as their daily commuter vehicle and I respect that a lot.
Came across your video in insta where you helped someone whose bike broke down.... I immediately searched u up to find this video in the end :/... Breaks my heart man... I hope you are doing well 2 years later.. Hopefully an update vid maybe?
Wow. I Never would've predicted this a year ago. Your enthusiasm for your subscribers has been Grade-A. I've been with you for a long time, and I've learned a lot. You honestly have been an inspiration. I still hope you get a GF man!!! I understand why you want to focus on income. I'm in the same boat as a college student. Ever thought of giving Plasma? you can make like 300-400$ a month. Or start a business. Wish you luck in the future. Maybe keep the channel and upload a few life-updates and let us know how you are doing man. God bless!
Even after 2years you left this channel, your videos are still tops recommended searches for beginner riders bro. Wish you all the best and hopefully you'll make a comeback with more great video contents
Hate to see you go man. You have certainly always been very helpful in answering questions and making videos that have always helped me better understand certain aspects of owning a bike. I certainly will know who to credit once I get my bike, who taught me important tips and tricks and who just made in my opinion some of the best videos out there. Hopefully life gets better for you soon. I send my best wishes.
Leave the channel up for the people you have inspired to ride, like myself. Before I found ur videos i was just beginning to get into motorcycles, and because of you, you have made my dreams feel like more of a reality. Thanks a lot man
I remember back in 2016 watching your videos. Then you came up with this one, deciding to stop with your channel. Later I finally got my black 300 SE in 2017, and I still have it. Time to time when riding I remember your videos because they were very important for me to decide own a Ninja. Hope you are fine and achieved all your goals after the decisions you made at that time. Be safe and well.
Don't leave man. At least once a week put up a short video and update us on your life. I'm in the army and your content was something good to watch and decompress after a long day in the army. You are the reason I'm getting a bike. You truly were a inspiration
You were one of the few youtubers that I looked forward to for a new video. Luckily, you are making these changes before it's too late. Good luck man! We will miss you!
Sorry to hear it didn't work out the way you hoped. But leave the channel up. I only watched a couple of videos but I've been enjoying them (and I'm not even a bike person, lol), so I intend to watch more. Looks like there's a lot of good content to be found too. Also, you seem like a genuinely good, interesting, and funny person. So here's hoping you'll make more vids, even if they're not on a bike.
Bummer man...I came back to the channel today after thinking about purchasing a bike for this coming Spring, and wondered why I hadn't seen your content for awhile. Good luck in the future, and if you're every bored, post up a status vid!
Your videos helped me out a lot when I first started riding last year. I think you should leave your videos up to help new riders and/or prospective or new Ninja 300 owners. That being said...thank you so much for all of your hard work over the last few years. There's definitely people out here who appreciate you. Good luck, Brotha, and take care!
buying my first bike... A Ninja 300. This channel has helped my mindset and expectations of owning a bike. 2 years after this video went live. Thank you for keeping it.
I am really sad to see you go man, but if you think it is for the best I wish you the best of luck! Much love and thank you for the wonderful content that you have brought us.
Was looking to get a ninja300 so I have been watching a lot of your videos, very informative and really love your attitude towards bikes, people, and just overall a positive life. After stumbling into your last video I've finally realized that the real attraction here isn't the information, but rather the vlogs of your life on a bike. Well damn I guess you've made up your mind a year ago, but hope it's not too late to be your 8911th subscriber in 2018 :)
2019 and you dont know how much I wish you kept doing your youtube videos. These are honestly the only moto vlogs I have ever enjoyed. I appreciate everything you've put out there. Thank you so much for everything you've done and if you're reading this right now give it one more shot. Appreciate the vlogs and I hope you have an amazing life :,)
Hey man! I also have a ninja 300 as my only vehicle in Phoenix AZ. I wanted you to know you have helped me quite a bit. Hope everything you hoped for in this video has come to be.
Good luck dude. I enjoyed your content and learnt lots. A few years ago I was in a similar cycle of not getting anywhere. Made some changes and now things are a whole lot better. Breaking the impasse is key. Onwards and upwards 👍
Oh man well hope you have a great rest of you life, and hope all is well with you all the info you have up on the channel has help me a lot and has made my decision a much easier on what route to take for getting a motorcycle thank you some much.
Been binge watching your vids, subscribed and still will be subscribed. I’m getting my ninja 300 soon, and going to call to schedule my Motorcycle safety class. I thank you for your support, and I’ll still continue to watch while I progress through motorcycle learning. Thank you!
Man, you're my favorite motovlogger I hate to see you go. You've inspired me to take the MSF course and I'm looking for a bike right now. Hope you come back when things get better for you. Good Luck!
I'm definitely saddened by this news but at the same time I totally support you and respect your decision. Best wishes for you and what life has next for you. Blessings.
Oh man... I was wondering where you went. We all have different paths in life, and I wish you all the best in yours. Good luck on your endeavors and God Bless, TLR. Ride safe always.
I'm sad to see you go, this has been one of my favourite motorcycle vlogs to watch. Don't delete though, there are some really great videos on here that may help new riders down the road. You have to focus on yourself and I get that. Good luck and hopefully we will see you post stuff just for fun in the future, even if it isn't consistent.
You should keep the channel up! It helps so many riders (like me) looking to get into bikes. Who knows, maybe you'll get your energy back years from now and blog about the struggles of a new career :) Ultimately, we'll miss ya and will understand whatever you decide. Glad you stayed safe on two wheels and wish you the best!!
TLR, I’m just getting into motorcycling and haven’t even bought a bike yet. I honestly just found out about you recently and I know I want the Ninja 300 so when I saw you had it, I watched all your videos. Because of you you taught me so much and inspired me to “Just Do It!” Don’t be afraid and just go for it. You taught me almost everything and I think I speak for all newbie bikers out there that you are one of the most best people to learn from. I wish you the best and hope you get back on your feet soon. Life isn’t worth it if it sucks all day everyday. So go fix your life, make it what you want it to be. And I guarantee everyone will be waiting for you when you come back. *insert biker wave here* Good luck brother!
It takes a large amount of courage to do what's right for yourself. I'll miss your updates but I'm happy for you man. Hope I can do the same some day soon.
Whoa, I was away for a while but didn't expect this. I hope you can come back periodically whenever you have time. To just say goodbye is just...so final. All the best!
Good luck to you man. I pray that you're blessed beyond measure and that you come back to making content for fun in the future. We'll miss ya but we understand. Peace.
I am really sorry to see this. You inspired me to start motovlogging and though I have not done it in a while I am always thankful for the advice you gave me in videos and via comments. As you have always told me...you do you man. Good luck and please, please consider doing it here and there for fun. There is free editing software out there and people like you and your personality so don't worry about hours of editing. We just wanna know how you are doing. Good luck man!
I'm so sorry Jonathon. I know how it feels to have to give up something you really loved to improve the rest of your life. We loved your videos and it was great to see how passionate you were about it. Good luck in the next chapter of your life! ❤
Sad day, I loved your videos and your laugh was so infectious. You were a quality vlogger and a wealth of information. Please don't delete the channel as it's a great resource for all riders both new and old. You will be missed TLR and all the best in the future. stay upright!! From an Australian sub
Ah, geez. I knew exactly what it was before I clicked on this. I believe that you should keep the channel up. Your videos are extremely helpful, and has helped me with the Ninja 300 I am looking to purchase. Because of you (and obviously more research but mainly you), I feel almost completely ready to buy my Ninja and I think I know almost everything I could possibly know about the Ninja. Of course, I may not know EVERYTHING, but most of it. You and other motovloggers inspired me to begin riding and I’ve fell in love with it. Do what you want to do, but keep up the channel. It’ll help other people learn about the Ninja 300 and other bikes. Thank you for all the inspiration and information you’ve given me. ❤️
I love this channel man been recently watching quite a lot, buying a ninja 300 soon and your videos have been a great informational source and just in general very funny. Hope everything works for you in the future good luck with your schooling.!
Just watched a few of your 300R videos and wanted to thank you for honest and no-bull information.Not sure about making vlogging a career. There are better ways to make a living and you are right changing what doesn't work out for you.The bike worked out for you so far and you'd probably end up with phases in your biking life, like any other hobby... It is a great way for most to go to work or school, not so good for family affairs. Keep it up, enjoy biking for what it is, and have fun with your life. In the end, that is really all that counts!
Good luck to your future TLR will miss the daily vids! I was wondering what was up when there were no vids being uploaded. Can't argue with someone trying to better themselves and their future! Best of luck!
Wow. Just seen this was your last video. Prob won't get this message but I learned a lot from your channel my first year riding. I wish you nothing but the best. Ride on. Thank you.
I'll miss you TLR, you got me into motorcycles, with your advice iv'e had an amazing year or so, I have no been the most active sub but i have seen every video,
It was definitive fun while it lasted. You did have some pretty informational videos and have most likely helped many people with their own bikes or even persuading them to get a bike. I'll have to add my two cents on saying keep the page up, as I'm sure it will still provide information to new or beginner riders. Best of luck to you, hopefully things turn around soon with the financial living paycheck to paycheck. I know that life isn't fun. Hopefully I'll bump into you on the road sometime, stay safe brother and hydrated on the roads!
Hey man, I just got my license about two weeks ago and about to purchase a 2014 kawasaki ninja 300 SE just like yours. I think you have really great contents here, I've recently started watching and it's been very helpful on deciding what bike to get and all the considerations that go into a motobike. Wish you the best my man, hope you can continue to make videos for fun one day.
aw man, I was wondering why you hadn't uploaded in a while. so sad to see you go mate, keep your head up and work hard. I always enjoyed your content, whenever I go out on my ninja 300 I will wonder what you're up to, and I wish you all the best for your future!
This is completely understandable. My family has gone through many financial crisis. I myself will probably end up the same way unless I can establish a stable life early on. Which that probability is a little low. Your channel has been a massive inspiration towards me to dwelve even deeper into the world of motorcycles. I may not have been very active in liking and commenting on most/all of your videos, but I've been there to watch them. I've recently been dealing with more personal problems then usual. But I wish you well in your life and I'd like to request that you keep the channel up to inspire many others as you have inspired me. But you don't have to follow up on this request, it is your channel after all. I wish you well and Godspeed.
Just wanted to say that you are the reason I am getting my ninja 300 2016 with ABS 30th Anniversary. Thanks for all the advice. Good luck to you on your future endeavors.
Omg man you will be missed I loved your videos. I watch all the time. Don't delete that channel I watch them over and over because of the suggestions and things u give. It is getting me to get a bike because I always wanted one. I never got a chance to know the difference until I saw the joy u had in riding everyday and how much you can do on the bike day to Day. Thank you so much and I know we will see you later. Enjoy life. Best of luck in school.
TLR thank you for all your videos your not alone bro because of all my bills and everything I have still yet to get my bike and I am 30 as well. Sometimes life can suck but remember this fact most successful people don't reach it until there 30's. I'm hopping to get somewhere with tattooing so I can reach my goals for life. I have learned a lot from your channel and it was awesome to live chat with you and kawacouple! Thank you for your channel always enjoyed it! Wish the best to you man!
Just watched your video. I've enjoyed all of them. In the end there is one thing to always keep in mind. In your life you are number 1. No one else. Do what is right for you. If it doesn't cost anything to leave the RUclips channel active please do. Other people will find it and enjoy all your videos. Good luck in moving on.
Thank you TLR. I haven't been a long time subscriber but I enjoyed your videos. You gave me knowledge on what it's like to own a motorcycle. Thank you :) You're an amazing person. Be safe out there!
Kinda in that rut too man. I ride a 2013 ninja 300 as well. Life is tough right now at 23. Similar difficulties finding good work up here in Canada. Trying get myself back up on my feet positively and find my passion here. But riding has it moments and expenses especially if your really into it. It can make you see how much of a costly hobbie it is. You gotta do what you gotta do. Loved the content! But you gotta set your priorities and keep going forward to better yourself! If I may make a suggestion. Maybe Instagram is something to consider?? I wish you luck man! I'll keep ya in my prayers. Ride safe 🤙!
Damn man it's really sad to see you go. I love your videos and you're the only ninja 300 channel up other than qwazi. I'm going to miss that goofy laugh and personality. I feel like you could have made it pretty big. Anyways good luck and as a soldier I will say, you have my respect and I'm 100% certain things will get better from here
You have a lot of really useful videos on your channel, please leave it up. there is a lot of really good information for beginners here. You'll be missed TLR! you were one of the people that inspired me and many others to start motovlogging. Ride safe brother.
Oh wow, I got to this party a bit late! I just purchased a white Ninja 300 ABS and I found your channel and have been watching your videos. I had no idea it was all over. Bummer. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!!
Hey man I just discovered your channel (glad you kept it up) and have been really enjoying your videos. I live in Tucson and recently started riding a Ninja 300 too. Channels like yours have been super helpful for me as a new rider with both info on riding and advice in general. I’m sorry to hear about your troubles and I hope you make it through them. If you ever happen to come through Tucson (or if I ever brave the I10 up to Phoenix lol) I’d love to ride with you! Take care brother!
Sorry to see you leave RUclips. I just started watching your motovlogs as I just found the channel and i own a ninja 300 also. Keeping the channel up for us 300 owners and those getting into it would be helpful. Good luck with your endeavors and thanks for entertaining and informing us with what your channel!
Hello, I'm David (20 years old) and because of ridiculously high car insurance rates due to my driving record, I'm purchasing a ninja 300 next week to use as my daily commuter. I just moved into the Goodyear AZ area about a month ago after watching your videos. Watching your vlogs has given me a whole new perspective on riding. I was certain that because of my high car insurance it would be impossible for me to find a job and be able to get there outside of living in a major city. Now I know it's not a crazy notion to use a bike as a primary vehicle. As an aside I'll say that just following your channel gave me the crazy idea of moving from Long island NY all the way to AZ, but more importantly, your videos gave me the courage to ride and brought me out of a very dark and somewhat depressing time in my life by showing me that it was still possible for me to have transportation without slaving at work for an insurance bill. If you still get on here to read the comments, I know it may be confusing to you as to why.. but just know that your personality and positivity about life and riding was enough to ACTUALLY REALLY help someone going through life on their own journey. And I'm sure you've helped many others in ways I couldn't detail. Thank you, stay riding, maybe I'll see you around.
I just want you to know that your videos really got me into biking and I ended up liking your bike so much I got the same one, but I've been riding for about a month and I love it so much. Anyway I with you the best and thank you so much for the inspiration.
Wonder if you could make an update video. I remember watching you in back in HS when I got my first gsxr 600. I now have a r1 and love riding! Hope you are doing well.
Hey man, i just wanted to say thanks. Please do not feel like this was wasted time, I only discovered this channel a week or two ago but ive watched everything, You are by far my favorite motovlog channel as me and a friend are both looking to get into riding (got our learners), and we both want ninja 300s. your channel has provided us with an abundance of tips and advice. not only that but laughs, entertainment, and good vibes! You have helped us more than you could imagine and from what i notice, lots of others! so i think i can speak on behalf of all of us up and coming riders who stumbled upon your channel, by saying thank you. God Bless
Wish you the best. Your videos will be missed especially for us Ninja 300 riders.
Thanks man.
ThisLifeRiding thx for all the good Videos You will be missed😥
Fellow Ninja 300 riders share a common experience. We relate as the little Ninja 300 is hard to describe. I don't commute on my 300 and keep it for quick rides around town and urban areas after dark. It's a fun plaything and that's all it needs to be. I have other motorcycles for commuting or going touring but I still return to my little 300. The stock exhaust is a plus as the bike doesn't attract attention when it's got a full head of steam up, perfect for hooning around in stealth mode.
i bought a ninja 300 in 2023 and i'm watching your videos now
my advise is to leave the channel up ... reason is you have a lot of helpful info out there that will help new riders and inform people on how to do things. you are an inspiration so keep that out there for others that are looking
Thanks man. I will probably keep the channel up for now.
Yea keep it up! I am buying a ninja 300 because of you and your content has helped me a ton! Im sure others will use this content in 5 years time.
Yes, absolutely please keep this channel up. Your videos and your personality are incredibly inspiring to prospective new riders like me.
I've had my eye on the Ninja 300 (haven't got it yet) for about a week before i saw your videos, but if i hadn't; your channel _will_ have gotten me into the Ninja 300. You are just so positive about that bike and everything else.
You are also one of the few people who has only a bike for commuting, and has stuck with the 300 as your main; something that is almost universally non-recommended by so many.
For me, your Vblog is a little similar to moving to a completely non-english speaking country (like Japan), as opposed to just visiting, which so many recommend.

Thanks guys. I'll miss you. I think I'll keep the channel up for now.
you should get back into it soon as possible, I'm sad I discovered your channel after you stopped uploading

Same here
Just got a ninja 300 because of this dude now I saw this video, that's pretty sad haha
Just discovering him aswell, rip. This guy is so entertaining, calm, and a joy to watch
same here
I hope you come back when you have yourself more established in life. your videos were awesome and taught me alot about riding when i first started.
Thanks man. Glad I could help.
I agree! Please give us a quick update on how you’re doing and where life has taken you since you stopped making videos!
Miss you...come back back. Watched your vlogs two gears ago in hopes of getting a motorcycle..got a ninja 300 abs 2017. Thanks for inspiring me to ride. I’m still waiting your return, while having fun riding during this quarantine.
Please, leave the chanell, TLR. Don't delete it, cause it has a lot of interesting content.
I know what you're going through, man. I'm 30, my car broke down, my oven almost caught fire and salary still kinda sucks. But hey, Rome wasn't built for a day :)
Good luck and God speed, man! Be safe :) Best wishes from Bulgaria.
Thanks man. That means a lot to me.
@@ThisLifeRiding miss you man. I still have my 300 (I hope to upgrade soon). Your channel taught me a lot. Thank you. I hope you are doing well!
@@PhantomRX I'm getting one soon and I stumbled across this channel a few days ago
Man, your content is still amaizing almost 4 years later...
Leave your channel. I learned so much from you. You have some great content. I would love to see an update on your life maybe once a year? Even if it's not motoblogging. I wish you well.
Thanks man. Maybe I will.
Agreed this channel needs to stay!
I’m watching this 5 years later and I feel sorry for him
Don't feel like this has been wasted time. Since I found your channel, I bought a Ninja 300 and just finished my MSF course last weekend. You've made a huge impact on my motorcycle interests. Good luck on your future endeavors :)
+runepk4life500
Thanks man.
I see you wrapping up with a valuable life lesson, thanks for sharing and wish you all the best.
I have learned a lot from this. Thanks man.
Im glad you never deleted this channel. I still show these videos to younger people just getting into riding.
Well darn... 2 years 2 late. Just found the channel. If you ever come back and read this, I love the videos. I'm gonna binge watch them all. Hopefully you're doing good at this point in your life 👌 congrats on the 10k subs BTW

I find myself coming back to this channel every once in a while. Hope you’re doing good wherever you are man. You helped me a lot 2 years ago when I first started riding.
he helped me too man
sadly good things never last, i was so sad when he dropped this video
but we wish him good luck on his new journey
Glad you kept your channel up. Really good longterm review of a great little bike. Well done!
Im here to also let you know. Your channel helped me immensely when i first started riding some 8 years ago. Much love and I hope all is well man!
Just came across your channel after buying my first bike a ninja 300 and I love it, it's been about a month and I've put 4000km on it I go out 3-7 hours a day just having a blast. I honestly feel I'm in the same boat tho. Works not been great and my only excuse for not looking for another job is because "now I get time to play with my new toy" I wish you all the best. I really hope after all this time you get to find something that makes you happy, just know these few videos I've watched of you I feel upset that you couldn't have more people following you.
Good luck man, you have the right attitude and outlook for success. Just got to put the effort in the right place at the right time to get ahead.
+ParsedOut
True dat. Thanks man.
Gunna miss your videos dude. You're one of the few motovloggers I know of on YT that have used a 300cc class bike as their daily commuter vehicle and I respect that a lot.
+MotoMike
Thanks man.
Came across your video in insta where you helped someone whose bike broke down.... I immediately searched u up to find this video in the end :/... Breaks my heart man... I hope you are doing well 2 years later.. Hopefully an update vid maybe?
Wow. I Never would've predicted this a year ago. Your enthusiasm for your subscribers has been Grade-A. I've been with you for a long time, and I've learned a lot. You honestly have been an inspiration. I still hope you get a GF man!!! I understand why you want to focus on income. I'm in the same boat as a college student. Ever thought of giving Plasma? you can make like 300-400$ a month. Or start a business. Wish you luck in the future. Maybe keep the channel and upload a few life-updates and let us know how you are doing man. God bless!
+John Rolfson
Thanks man. Good ideas.
Even after 2years you left this channel, your videos are still tops recommended searches for beginner riders bro. Wish you all the best and hopefully you'll make a comeback with more great video contents
Hate to see you go man. You have certainly always been very helpful in answering questions and making videos that have always helped me better understand certain aspects of owning a bike. I certainly will know who to credit once I get my bike, who taught me important tips and tricks and who just made in my opinion some of the best videos out there. Hopefully life gets better for you soon. I send my best wishes.
+Arctic Gaming
Glad I could help. Thanks man.
Bro stop playing around... come back now..
mr somthinbasic215 I couldn't agree more.
mr somthinbasic215 i know right
Go Ride Summer i hear ya
Atem Hes one of the reasons why started up my channel
@@MRSOMTHINBASIC you are here to mr.basic guess who am i
Leave the channel up for the people you have inspired to ride, like myself. Before I found ur videos i was just beginning to get into motorcycles, and because of you, you have made my dreams feel like more of a reality. Thanks a lot man
Thanks man. I'll will probably leave it up for now. Glad I could help.
I remember back in 2016 watching your videos. Then you came up with this one, deciding to stop with your channel. Later I finally got my black 300 SE in 2017, and I still have it. Time to time when riding I remember your videos because they were very important for me to decide own a Ninja. Hope you are fine and achieved all your goals after the decisions you made at that time. Be safe and well.
Diddo still shocked he killed the channel lol I got a 2016 ninja that year
We need a life update man! Wishing you the best and really wanna know what's up, can't thank you enough for everything
Don't leave man. At least once a week put up a short video and update us on your life. I'm in the army and your content was something good to watch and decompress after a long day in the army. You are the reason I'm getting a bike. You truly were a inspiration
+Cameron Meagher
Sorry man. It is time to move on. Try motonosity. He is a great Motovlogger.
You've made huge contributions to my motorcycle knowledge and safety thanks man and I wish you the best !
+FR
Thanks dude.
You were one of the few youtubers that I looked forward to for a new video. Luckily, you are making these changes before it's too late. Good luck man! We will miss you!
+damon kain
Thanks man.
Sorry to hear it didn't work out the way you hoped. But leave the channel up. I only watched a couple of videos but I've been enjoying them (and I'm not even a bike person, lol), so I intend to watch more. Looks like there's a lot of good content to be found too. Also, you seem like a genuinely good, interesting, and funny person. So here's hoping you'll make more vids, even if they're not on a bike.
+MPaans
Thanks man. I'll probably keep the channel up for now.
Bummer man...I came back to the channel today after thinking about purchasing a bike for this coming Spring, and wondered why I hadn't seen your content for awhile. Good luck in the future, and if you're every bored, post up a status vid!
Your videos helped me out a lot when I first started riding last year. I think you should leave your videos up to help new riders and/or prospective or new Ninja 300 owners. That being said...thank you so much for all of your hard work over the last few years. There's definitely people out here who appreciate you. Good luck, Brotha, and take care!
+Alexis Robles
Thanks man. Will do.
buying my first bike... A Ninja 300. This channel has helped my mindset and expectations of owning a bike. 2 years after this video went live. Thank you for keeping it.
Damn, just found your channel and absolutely love the content. Sad to see you left it almost 2 years ago.
I went digging around for your channel this morning because I hadn't seen a video in awhile. I feared the worst, glad you're still alive and well.
+unaclocker
Yep, I'm doing good. Thanks man.
I am really sad to see you go man, but if you think it is for the best I wish you the best of luck! Much love and thank you for the wonderful content that you have brought us.
+Jonny Saunders
Thanks man. I'll miss you guys.
Was looking to get a ninja300 so I have been watching a lot of your videos, very informative and really love your attitude towards bikes, people, and just overall a positive life. After stumbling into your last video I've finally realized that the real attraction here isn't the information, but rather the vlogs of your life on a bike. Well damn I guess you've made up your mind a year ago, but hope it's not too late to be your 8911th subscriber in 2018 :)
2019 and you dont know how much I wish you kept doing your youtube videos. These are honestly the only moto vlogs I have ever enjoyed. I appreciate everything you've put out there. Thank you so much for everything you've done and if you're reading this right now give it one more shot. Appreciate the vlogs and I hope you have an amazing life :,)
Hey man! I also have a ninja 300 as my only vehicle in Phoenix AZ. I wanted you to know you have helped me quite a bit. Hope everything you hoped for in this video has come to be.
It's been an honor watching your vlogs. Good luck on all your future en endeavours!
+Paul Callaway
Thanks man.
Good luck dude. I enjoyed your content and learnt lots. A few years ago I was in a similar cycle of not getting anywhere. Made some changes and now things are a whole lot better. Breaking the impasse is key. Onwards and upwards 👍
+sierr4echo
Thanks man. Glad to know other have taken this journey before me.
Oh man well hope you have a great rest of you life, and hope all is well with you all the info you have up on the channel has help me a lot and has made my decision a much easier on what route to take for getting a motorcycle thank you some much.
2023 Still checking in to your channel to see if youre back.
Been binge watching your vids, subscribed and still will be subscribed.
I’m getting my ninja 300 soon, and going to call to schedule my Motorcycle safety class. I thank you for your support, and I’ll still continue to watch while I progress through motorcycle learning. Thank you!
Man, you're my favorite motovlogger I hate to see you go. You've inspired me to take the MSF course and I'm looking for a bike right now. Hope you come back when things get better for you. Good Luck!
+Brandon Lange
Thanks man.
I'm definitely saddened by this news but at the same time I totally support you and respect your decision. Best wishes for you and what life has next for you. Blessings.
Thanks man. Thanks for being with me from the beginning.
Oh man... I was wondering where you went. We all have different paths in life, and I wish you all the best in yours. Good luck on your endeavors and God Bless, TLR. Ride safe always.
+Sinbad683
Thanks man.
I'm sad to see you go, this has been one of my favourite motorcycle vlogs to watch. Don't delete though, there are some really great videos on here that may help new riders down the road. You have to focus on yourself and I get that. Good luck and hopefully we will see you post stuff just for fun in the future, even if it isn't consistent.
+SaskSneeze
Thanks man. I'll probably keep the channel up for now.
Thanks for keeping the channel up and running. I just found it and I am really enjoying your videos.
You should keep the channel up! It helps so many riders (like me) looking to get into bikes.
Who knows, maybe you'll get your energy back years from now and blog about the struggles of a new career :)
Ultimately, we'll miss ya and will understand whatever you decide. Glad you stayed safe on two wheels and wish you the best!!
+uilhem
Thanks man. Really appreciate it.
Discovered your channel in 2020, haha. Pretty cool content. Felt you on the service bro👌. Hope you got things sorted.
TLR, I’m just getting into motorcycling and haven’t even bought a bike yet. I honestly just found out about you recently and I know I want the Ninja 300 so when I saw you had it, I watched all your videos. Because of you you taught me so much and inspired me to “Just Do It!” Don’t be afraid and just go for it. You taught me almost everything and I think I speak for all newbie bikers out there that you are one of the most best people to learn from. I wish you the best and hope you get back on your feet soon. Life isn’t worth it if it sucks all day everyday. So go fix your life, make it what you want it to be. And I guarantee everyone will be waiting for you when you come back. *insert biker wave here* Good luck brother!
It takes a large amount of courage to do what's right for yourself. I'll miss your updates but I'm happy for you man. Hope I can do the same some day soon.
Thanks man.
Whoa, I was away for a while but didn't expect this. I hope you can come back periodically whenever you have time. To just say goodbye is just...so final. All the best!
Thank you for keeping the channel up man! Got my ninja 300 today :)
Good luck to you man. I pray that you're blessed beyond measure and that you come back to making content for fun in the future. We'll miss ya but we understand. Peace.
+Mario Warren
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
I am really sorry to see this. You inspired me to start motovlogging and though I have not done it in a while I am always thankful for the advice you gave me in videos and via comments. As you have always told me...you do you man. Good luck and please, please consider doing it here and there for fun. There is free editing software out there and people like you and your personality so don't worry about hours of editing. We just wanna know how you are doing. Good luck man!
+Razorjoe Rides
Thanks man.
I'm so sorry Jonathon. I know how it feels to have to give up something you really loved to improve the rest of your life. We loved your videos and it was great to see how passionate you were about it. Good luck in the next chapter of your life! ❤
Thanks Abbie.
Sad day, I loved your videos and your laugh was so infectious. You were a quality vlogger and a wealth of information. Please don't delete the channel as it's a great resource for all riders both new and old. You will be missed TLR and all the best in the future. stay upright!! From an Australian sub
Thanks man. I'll probably keep the channel up for now.
Ah, geez. I knew exactly what it was before I clicked on this.
I believe that you should keep the channel up. Your videos are extremely helpful, and has helped me with the Ninja 300 I am looking to purchase. Because of you (and obviously more research but mainly you), I feel almost completely ready to buy my Ninja and I think I know almost everything I could possibly know about the Ninja. Of course, I may not know EVERYTHING, but most of it.
You and other motovloggers inspired me to begin riding and I’ve fell in love with it. Do what you want to do, but keep up the channel. It’ll help other people learn about the Ninja 300 and other bikes. Thank you for all the inspiration and information you’ve given me. ❤️
I love this channel man been recently watching quite a lot, buying a ninja 300 soon and your videos have been a great informational source and just in general very funny. Hope everything works for you in the future good luck with your schooling.!
+Wesley Vanee
Thanks man.
Just watched a few of your 300R videos and wanted to thank you for honest and no-bull information.Not sure about making vlogging a career. There are better ways to make a living and you are right changing what doesn't work out for you.The bike worked out for you so far and you'd probably end up with phases in your biking life, like any other hobby... It is a great way for most to go to work or school, not so good for family affairs. Keep it up, enjoy biking for what it is, and have fun with your life. In the end, that is really all that counts!
Good luck to your future TLR will miss the daily vids! I was wondering what was up when there were no vids being uploaded. Can't argue with someone trying to better themselves and their future! Best of luck!
TLR can you please be a special guest on Kawa Kouple live stream one last time?
+D Money
Thanks man.
Wow. Just seen this was your last video. Prob won't get this message but I learned a lot from your channel my first year riding. I wish you nothing but the best. Ride on. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all of the great knowledge sharing and moto encouragement. Wishing you success in all your efforts.
+Aaron Gutfreund
Thanks man.
I'll miss you TLR, you got me into motorcycles, with your advice iv'e had an amazing year or so, I have no been the most active sub but i have seen every video,
+SingLike AFox
Awesome dude. Glad I could help. I'll miss you guys.
Thank you for all the videos. They have helped me and convinced me to get a bike. Hope you have a wonderful life
It was definitive fun while it lasted. You did have some pretty informational videos and have most likely helped many people with their own bikes or even persuading them to get a bike. I'll have to add my two cents on saying keep the page up, as I'm sure it will still provide information to new or beginner riders. Best of luck to you, hopefully things turn around soon with the financial living paycheck to paycheck. I know that life isn't fun. Hopefully I'll bump into you on the road sometime, stay safe brother and hydrated on the roads!
Hey man, I just got my license about two weeks ago and about to purchase a 2014 kawasaki ninja 300 SE just like yours. I think you have really great contents here, I've recently started watching and it's been very helpful on deciding what bike to get and all the considerations that go into a motobike. Wish you the best my man, hope you can continue to make videos for fun one day.
in my eyes, one of the pioneers of motovlogging
aw man, I was wondering why you hadn't uploaded in a while.
so sad to see you go mate, keep your head up and work hard.
I always enjoyed your content, whenever I go out on my ninja 300 I will wonder what you're up to, and I wish you all the best for your future!
Thanks man.
This is completely understandable. My family has gone through many financial crisis. I myself will probably end up the same way unless I can establish a stable life early on. Which that probability is a little low. Your channel has been a massive inspiration towards me to dwelve even deeper into the world of motorcycles. I may not have been very active in liking and commenting on most/all of your videos, but I've been there to watch them. I've recently been dealing with more personal problems then usual. But I wish you well in your life and I'd like to request that you keep the channel up to inspire many others as you have inspired me. But you don't have to follow up on this request, it is your channel after all. I wish you well and Godspeed.
Thanks dude. I'll probably keep my channel up for now.
RUclips recommended me to watch all of your videos one after another. Really good stuff!
Just wanted to say that you are the reason I am getting my ninja 300 2016 with ABS 30th Anniversary. Thanks for all the advice. Good luck to you on your future endeavors.
BRO, keep the channel ! it's sad to see you go you and your channel are amazing, you taught me a lot on motorcycles ! good luck with everything !🙏🏼
Thanks man. I probably won't delete the channel for now.
I hope you come back soon man. Be safe.
This is the end. Thanks man.
Omg man you will be missed I loved your videos. I watch all the time. Don't delete that channel I watch them over and over because of the suggestions and things u give. It is getting me to get a bike because I always wanted one. I never got a chance to know the difference until I saw the joy u had in riding everyday and how much you can do on the bike day to Day. Thank you so much and I know we will see you later. Enjoy life. Best of luck in school.
+Andrew Marriott
Thanks man.
TLR thank you for all your videos your not alone bro because of all my bills and everything I have still yet to get my bike and I am 30 as well. Sometimes life can suck but remember this fact most successful people don't reach it until there 30's. I'm hopping to get somewhere with tattooing so I can reach my goals for life. I have learned a lot from your channel and it was awesome to live chat with you and kawacouple! Thank you for your channel always enjoyed it! Wish the best to you man!
+Christopher Munguia
Thanks man. Glad to hear things are looking up for you.
Good luck with your future endeavors man, I really found your videos helpful at times. so Thanks.
Thanks dude. Glad I could help.
Just watched your video. I've enjoyed all of them. In the end there is one thing to always keep in mind. In your life you are number 1. No one else. Do what is right for you. If it doesn't cost anything to leave the RUclips channel active please do. Other people will find it and enjoy all your videos. Good luck in moving on.
Thanks man. I'll probably keep the channel up for now.
Thank you TLR. I haven't been a long time subscriber but I enjoyed your videos. You gave me knowledge on what it's like to own a motorcycle. Thank you :) You're an amazing person. Be safe out there!
Thanks man. Glad I could help.
I'm a fairly new rider. I learned a lot from your videos. I wish you the best bro and hope everything works out for you.
Thanks man. Glad I could help.
Kinda in that rut too man. I ride a 2013 ninja 300 as well. Life is tough right now at 23. Similar difficulties finding good work up here in Canada. Trying get myself back up on my feet positively and find my passion here.
But riding has it moments and expenses especially if your really into it. It can make you see how much of a costly hobbie it is. You gotta do what you gotta do. Loved the content! But you gotta set your priorities and keep going forward to better yourself!
If I may make a suggestion. Maybe Instagram is something to consider??
I wish you luck man! I'll keep ya in my prayers. Ride safe 🤙!
I'm glad I found your channel. Thank you for all of the content you have provided over the years.
+Gandalf Gray
Thanks man. It was great to have you here.
Damn man it's really sad to see you go. I love your videos and you're the only ninja 300 channel up other than qwazi. I'm going to miss that goofy laugh and personality. I feel like you could have made it pretty big. Anyways good luck and as a soldier I will say, you have my respect and I'm 100% certain things will get better from here
Thanks man.
You have a lot of really useful videos on your channel, please leave it up. there is a lot of really good information for beginners here. You'll be missed TLR! you were one of the people that inspired me and many others to start motovlogging. Ride safe brother.
+NorthernNinja
Thanks man. Glad I could help.
To bad bro 😥 Always liked ur content and loved ur attitude. Be safe, enjoy life!
Thanks man.
Oh wow, I got to this party a bit late! I just purchased a white Ninja 300 ABS and I found your channel and have been watching your videos. I had no idea it was all over. Bummer. I wish you the best in your future endeavors!!
Greg Brown me too. Miss good videos
Hey man I just discovered your channel (glad you kept it up) and have been really enjoying your videos. I live in Tucson and recently started riding a Ninja 300 too. Channels like yours have been super helpful for me as a new rider with both info on riding and advice in general. I’m sorry to hear about your troubles and I hope you make it through them. If you ever happen to come through Tucson (or if I ever brave the I10 up to Phoenix lol) I’d love to ride with you! Take care brother!
Sorry to see you leave RUclips. I just started watching your motovlogs as I just found the channel and i own a ninja 300 also. Keeping the channel up for us 300 owners and those getting into it would be helpful. Good luck with your endeavors and thanks for entertaining and informing us with what your channel!
+BO34SS T
Thanks man.
I bought a ninja300 recently, and have been watching your channel ever since....
+Richard dyche
Nice, congrats dude!
Hello, I'm David (20 years old) and because of ridiculously high car insurance rates due to my driving record, I'm purchasing a ninja 300 next week to use as my daily commuter. I just moved into the Goodyear AZ area about a month ago after watching your videos. Watching your vlogs has given me a whole new perspective on riding. I was certain that because of my high car insurance it would be impossible for me to find a job and be able to get there outside of living in a major city. Now I know it's not a crazy notion to use a bike as a primary vehicle. As an aside I'll say that just following your channel gave me the crazy idea of moving from Long island NY all the way to AZ, but more importantly, your videos gave me the courage to ride and brought me out of a very dark and somewhat depressing time in my life by showing me that it was still possible for me to have transportation without slaving at work for an insurance bill. If you still get on here to read the comments, I know it may be confusing to you as to why.. but just know that your personality and positivity about life and riding was enough to ACTUALLY REALLY help someone going through life on their own journey. And I'm sure you've helped many others in ways I couldn't detail. Thank you, stay riding, maybe I'll see you around.
+Michael M
Cool dude. I'm glad I could help. Good luck on your new adventure.
I just want you to know that your videos really got me into biking and I ended up liking your bike so much I got the same one, but I've been riding for about a month and I love it so much. Anyway I with you the best and thank you so much for the inspiration.
+Chris Baggs
Thanks man.
Wonder if you could make an update video. I remember watching you in back in HS when I got my first gsxr 600. I now have a r1 and love riding! Hope you are doing well.
Hey man, i just wanted to say thanks. Please do not feel like this was wasted time, I only discovered this channel a week or two ago but ive watched everything, You are by far my favorite motovlog channel as me and a friend are both looking to get into riding (got our learners), and we both want ninja 300s. your channel has provided us with an abundance of tips and advice. not only that but laughs, entertainment, and good vibes! You have helped us more than you could imagine and from what i notice, lots of others! so i think i can speak on behalf of all of us up and coming riders who stumbled upon your channel, by saying thank you. God Bless
