    I'm a 54 year old man thar never comments, but this video had me in floods of tears. You have to believe this, but you are inspirational. Getting knocked down happens to us all but the strong not only get back up again but thrive and make progress. You have been lower than most, and soared higher than most and the world NEEDS to hear your laughter again. You are not alone, please never be afraid to ask for help from your personal cheerleaders, we are not only here to watch your life, but to help in anyway we can. We live vicariously through you, so we need you as much as you need us.
    Be fierce and inspirational x

      The story of the Prodigal Son/Daughter should be understood by Everyone.
      You have to face life's Minefields , you have to walk through the Shadow of Death.
      Nothing is Accomplished by hiding away from your fears , until you face them you will never grow as a person
      It's not easy but the rewards are great , you don't want to get Old and have nothing but Regrets you never took the Journey
      The first small step is far greater than the Last !!!!!

    As a 30 year motorcycling Paramedic, with 20 of that at the TT, I know bikes can so easily take lives. However, I also know that bikes can be a "lifesaver" for so many and keep them sane, grounded and in control. I feel sorry for people who go through their whole lives without ever experiencing what riding a motorcycle can give you.

I've forwarded this to my 19 year old daughter, to show her how she can overcome her stress. You have an inner strength that is wonderful to watch. I've been homeless, I came back & got my degree, married (divorced now 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️), 2 wonderful children (now adults). Thank you for being so honest & you. Never change, you are the best 👍❤️

    Poignant. I'm in a similar difficult position in life. I came back to owning a motorcycle after a mere 40 years, and every ride out into the countryside just charges my batteries. I had forgotten the simple but sheer joy of the whoosh and sweep along a nice country lane. I have started a - very - modest YT channel, and although I slip in the odd non motorcycle video, it is primarily about just having a motorcycle. The Zen of it all.
    I'm old, my health is sadly failing, so adventures around Europe are a non-starter, my camera equipment is basic, and yet while I can, I enjoy my bike and I am alive instead of just existing and struggling.
    So, a very relevant and poignant video you have made, here, that will resonate with many like-minded souls.

    "Some day i became the person i pretended to be" that is genuinely such an honest statement.

For me when i was younger i was extremely shy and insecure. In the last couple years of high school i chose to pretend to be confident, and at some point I dont know when, i just became confident

    Maybe this is only another comment more, but I felt touched by this video. And perhaps that’s why I love your channel, you are real, with your ups and downs, struggles and victories and you share it with us as it is. I remembered being in similar situations, no money, no food, no hope. I had to sell many things (including my bike) and look for better luck in a different country, leaving family and friends behind. Never stop fighting and never stop doing what you like the most, in one way or another. If you follow your passion, everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing this with us and for being an inspiration. I hope all settle down for you and you find the happiness you deserve.

    You are an absolute inspiration for your bravery, determination and all you have achieved . I’ve suffered with mental health as I’m neurodivergent trying to live in a world not quite made for me. Like you bikes are my way of escaping and feeling happy. Riding fast or just exploring fills my brain with the dopamine it needs to be calm. It’s wonderful to see you getting back to what you love and never giving up.
