Dear all, Thank you to all of you for your kind, caring, loving and encouraging words that you sent to Scott, Cam and me. I am still overwhelmed to see that so many of you from around the world have reached out to us, trying to give us comfort, sharing their thoughts and letting us know that we are not alone. It truly means a lot to us. Thank you to each and every one of you for being you; the world is blessed to have people like you in it. You all keep the positive attitude, enthusiasm and positive outlook on life and never give that up. Neither will I. Stay safe, and I am sending all my best greetings to you! Take care! Tina with Scott and Cam Hallo an euch alle, ich danke euch allen für eure lieben, mitfühlenden, herzlichen und ermutigenden Worte, die ihr Scott, Cam und mir geschickt habt. Ich bin immer noch ganz überwältigt zu sehen, dass uns so viele von euch aus der ganzen Welt die Hand gereicht haben, um uns Trost zu spenden, ihre Gedanken mit uns geteilt haben und uns zu verstehen gegeben haben, dass wir nicht allein sind. Das bedeutet uns wirklich sehr viel. Vielen Dank an jeden einzelnen von euch, dass ihr so seid wie ihr seid; Menschen wie ihr macht die Welt zu einem besseren Ort. Bewahrt euch eure positive Einstellung, euren Enthusiasmus und eure positive Lebensauffassung und gebt diese niemals auf. Ich werde es auch nicht tun. Passt auf euch auf; ich sende euch allen meine besten und herzlichsten Grüße! Tina mit Scott und Cam
My heart breaks for you having to stop riding. I too am faced with quitting motorcycles. I am 72 and have ridden for 60 years safely. But last Thursday something was on the road and when I swerved to miss it, I crashed my BMW R80RT and wound up in the hospital with broken bones, a punctured lung and a concussion. I don’t remember what was on the road. I am so thankful my wife of 49 years was not riding with me. I think a 72 year old’s slower reaction time may have been the cause. I may never know. But I’ve decided that it’s time for me to stop riding. And I am selling my bikes too. We have to be 100% able when we ride. I am at home recovering from my crash. My wife is taking such good care of me. But I won’t put her through this again. My focus is to enjoy my family and enjoy the blessings I have in my life. Good luck. Bill😎👍
wish you a speedy recovery. none of us fly forever. when its my time I hope I will be grateful for the miles captured. I just sold my sport bike because my reaction speed is not what it was, and I ride slower now. Again, wishing you a full recovery so you may enjoy all the simple things that continue in your life. -with respect
Wisdom my friend, wisdom! I am a 61 year old grandpa motorcyclist with 3 grandchildren and wishes to see them become adults. I ride with a BMW GS 1250 smoothly but we never know what can happen! Marc, Quebec, 🇨🇦🏍😉
Wishing you a speedy recovery! I’m 70 and so far, so good and I have riding buddies in their 80s doing long trips with me, one on his Harley Road Glide. I have been riding since my teens and my current bikes are a K1600 GTL and Goldwing Tour DCT. But two things concern me: injuring myself and not being able to bounce back. If I blow out a knee for example, I could be a gimp the rest of my life. The other is my loved ones. As long as stay fit, healthy and on my game, I’ll keep LD touring, and doing it as smart as I can.
You had the best of intentions and support from Scott to start riding, but life throws us a curve ball. Look after yourself and your young family. So brave and courageous of you to make this vlog, well done.
Thank you for your kind, heartfelt words. This was the hardest video I've ever produced and posted on my channel. There was a reason that I'm not in the video and when Cam's camera did inadvertently hit me, I walked off camera, I didn't want anyone to see my tears as she was speaking. She makes me a better man for having her in my life, she is my soulmate, my love and I'm proud to call her my wife, Scott
@@NothingToProve Thank you for sharing, can't think how hard that would have been to do, let alone share. To you, Tina and your Whanau (family), a little saying we use in Aoteraroa New Zealand from our Maori culture: "Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui" (Be strong, be brave, be steadfast). Much Aroha (Love), Anaru (Andrew).
My wife passed from complications of MS. I certainly know what you are dealing with. Fortunately, the advances they have made in the treatment of MS have come a long way the past 20yr. She passed in 2005 and had Chronic-Progressive MS. Stay strong and listen to your body. You have my utmost respect for your decision. ❤
At 66 I am dreading having to stop biking, but that is nothing compared with dealing with MS at such a young age. We somehow have to appreciate whatever we have, I wish you strength and good fortune x
Both you and Scott are very kind souls. Always loved Scott’s honest opinion on motorcycles. It is heartbreaking to see you quit riding for now but this challenging period will pass and you will be back on a bike. God bless you with good health and courage to steer through this turbulence. Lots of love from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦
Tina, first and foremost I hope you are getting the medical and emotional clinical support you need. I know it must be heartbreaking to give up on something you enjoy, but brave of you to realize your limitations before an injury occurs. (We are not all that smart.) I hope you will still be capable in the future to give us your impressions from the pillion / passenger perspective of some of the bikes Scott tests, your insights are invaluable for those of us who have to make some of our buying decisions including the perspectives of passenger comfort. I hope you will remember that the subscriber base of Scott’s channel will always have you in our thoughts and prayers.
I have only just come across this video, clicking on it because I thought to myself whyanyone would want to sell such a lovely bike. Sadly surprised why and I do feel very sorry for you young Lady. Looks like you have a lovely family right there behind you so that is a massive 'plus'. I must say I cannot imagine anything worse than selling up on motorcycles in that way. Im 61 and am in love with my motorcycle today as I was when I first sat on my first bike when I was 18. Hope the sun shines above you and your family for many years. Thank you for bravely sharing this here x
My best wishes go out to you, my beautiful wife was diagnosed with MS, 20 odd years ago. She used to ride her own bike along with owning and riding a horse. My/ our advice is to keep as active as you can, perhaps not a motorcycle, just anything to keep movement going. Do not give up! Scott you need to step up, it's easy to try and put it on the back foot, it creeps up. Learn about it, you will have to change a lot of things in your life, not all bad. Talk to people who are in the same boat if you can this helps a lot.
I'm so sorry to hear this news Bettina. I remember how excited you were bringing the motorcycle home. I wish you and your family all the best in the future.
Hope your MS will be manageable and allow you to have a good life. It was brave to share your personal information and thoughts with the RUclips world and l am sure all your viewers will be sending their best wishes Take care
That bike is such a beauty with the panniers, you, et al. Wish you the very best with your health. The things you mention are ones every rider confronts. But it is only you who is right to determine if you can work through them. Pardon my enthusiasm but a hug from a fellow rider and the very best wishes 😊
I am so very sorry to hear of your health issue. I wish you nothing but the best. You had me tearing up as you told us of your condition. How brave you are and how brave I feel you will continue to be. I know you have the love and support of your family and friends. Continue to take good care of you. Sincerely.
Tough news for you Tina and Scott, and so much to cope with and manage. Best wishes to you both for strength when you need it, fun when you can, and love always. 🙏
OMG this is a heartbreaking message, Tina and Scott! I only read it after three weeks but I wish you tons of strength! God bless you, and may the MS be a mild one. I hope to see you every now and then in Scotts vlogs. High 5 to you, Scott and Cam!
I've seen the video of your first riding training with Scott years ago - I remember thinking that I could learn to be patient like Scott if my wife ever wanted to learn riding (she never did). Then there's the video where you had this bike and rode it home with Scott, and then the upgrades you installed onto your bike. It's been a wonderful mini-journey between Scott's bike reviews. I'm greatly saddened by this turn of events and respect your courage and honesty. It's a beautiful bike and I hope it ends up in good hands.
In the last year plus I’ve been coming to a deeper understanding of MS through my schooling and education. It’s a serious disease that effects the brain which then effects all sorts of functions of the body. She’s strong for sharing her story. And although I’m a huge fan of the channel, riding motorcycles, and the Motocycle itself, focusing on the future of her health needs to be priority number 1 and I support this change in her life and hope she has the best doctors to help her through this difficult journey.
Bettina, thank you for your heartfelt honesty, regarding your reasons to stop riding. I applaud you for recognising and accepting what is best for you and your family. If I was in Germany, I would definitely buy your triumph, as shipping to Australia would be too much. Personally I wouldn’t like to see you a keep the bike and Scott rides it. The bike has such meaning as it was your first bike, you added the accessories became one with it. I am sure if you owed money and chose to keep it, I think the followers of the channel would donate to make sure you kept it in the family. Just my thoughts.
Hi Tina - so sorry to hear this, you are so very brave sharing this news, my heart goes out to you. I hope you stay strong and well - new immunomodulatory treatments are showing very promising results. I have a friend who has MS and 30 years on is living a full and active life and most folk don't even know she has this issue. I hope you and Scott continue seeing the world from the seat of the RT or GS, although Cam might want to have a space sometimes too!
I'm glad you got to ride (I assume) many, many times. I'm glad you have the brightness of mind to make this decision. I'm also glad that you are strong & courageous. I was not curious about the Trident, but you've made it something special. Additionally, you've made it ok to not ride any more; now others can also live without it.
Tina. My heart breaks for you, not just because you have to sell the bike but because of the health issues you are dealing with. Know we care about you. Wishing the best for you. And BTW, the bike looks great.
I too have MS and am going to have to make that same decision at some point. Maybe I already should have but I’m stubborn. I’ve had MS for over 20 years and am 61 now. Thankfully I’ve always preferred small bikes that don’t weigh too much. I still have 3 bikes, all Kawasaki’s. I find myself riding the klx 230s more and more. It’s light and more comfortable for me these days. I am only good for an hour or two on the bike before I start having trouble getting my feet on and off the pegs. Once I’m rolling I’m good. Stopping is the issue getting my feet down and stable. Especially if I have to stop in a hurry. I’ve been riding for over 50 years and leaving that behind is a hard pill to swallow. I find my self sitting in the garage more often these days just hanging out with my bikes. It makes me happy. Good luck and I wish you all the best as you move forward.
I can tell it's hard to talk about it, but want to thank you for the courage to share Tina! I've had some familiarity with MS due to the MS150 bike ride that used to be arranged in Minnesota every year. I've been a fan of the channel and also a Trident owner. Maybe it's time for Scott to get another touring bike or a little sports car so Cam can join the back road adventures :) Happy miles ahead to you all!
Hey Tina - great to see/hear you on the video. It takes courage to speak frankly like you have and I admire you for that. I am sorry to hear that you can’t ride the bike you like so much. Hope you can still get the pleasures of riding in whatever way you can, either on a different bike or as a pillion with Scott.
I just bought a Trident 660 as my first bike and love it. I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to yours. Hope you are staying healthy, active and strong! Ich wünsche euch gesundheit and viel Glück
I don’t know you, but feel for you,this vlog just fell on my feed. The sense of loosing that freedom that a bike gives you came across very much. I too have realised that my limitations are going to force me to let go of this love for two wheels, this decision for you will enhance your life though ,with more time and energy to fight any physical challenges.Best wishes for you and your family.💪🏻
Good luck with the sale, I'm sure who ever buys it will be very happy with it You are one brave lady and good luck with the future Hopefully you will still be around to make Scott keeps on track with his content. And Scott more pillion perspectives please, no one does this on reviews, you have an expert pillion with you
All the best moving forward. You will have many people like me that will send prayers and good wishes your way. We all have challenges in life but we must make the most of it.
All the best, Tina. Sorry to hear this. Appreciate the honesty and respect your strength! And what a great video. A true from the heart family production👏🏻🎥🎬
Good luck with managing your MS. I had to sell my beloved Tracer 900 two years ago in order to buy an electric wheelchair, due to massive fatigue problems caused by fibromyalgia. I am finally better and recently bought a Triumph Speed 400 because of the low weight and easy handling. It allows me to enjoy Mc riding without having to manage a heavy machine.
All the very best with your MS health issue. Yes -- not riding is a very sensible conclusion. Good on you and my wishes for a lot more avenues of joy in your life
Wow, a bit of an emotional watch. We are a riding couple, my wife rides a Triumph Street Triple. I can only imagine the heartache at having to sell the bike. Hope you are still able to enjoy motorcycles from the pillion seat, and we wish you the best of luck in the future.Carol & Richard
Tina, that was very brave of you to be so open and vulnerable about your MS. I’m holding good thoughts for you and saying a prayer for your well being.
My son has MS so I can understand to some degree what you are going through. Just know that you can live a rich and full life despite your diagnosis. We all have limitations to some degree but most of us won"t admit to it so bravo to you for being brave enough to share your condition with us. The back of an RT isn't so bad either so sit back, relax and let Scott do all the heavy lifting! God bless you and know you have a good future ahead of you.
This saddens me immensely. I was diagnosed with MS 19 years ago, much to the disappointment of my doctor I started riding 5 years ago. Riding is freedom. The key is to ride to your limits.
Best wishes to you with your MS diagnosis. In university I dated someone who had MS, I used to give her, her weekly injection of medication. Her's was Relapsing Remitting type of MS. There are many other interesting hobbies than riding so find something else to enjoy. Again, best wishes to you for the future.
Really feel for you here. All the emotion is evident in your voice. You owe noone an explanation. I wish you the best possible future, given your brave revelation 🙏🏼
MS is not easy to live with, but it shows a great deal of strength to keep going forward and to try to keep living your life. Keep enjoying everyday doing what you like at your pace.
Very sad watching this. To have you physical capabilities taken from you while your mind is still sharp, and the desire to ride is still there, must be heartbreaking. Stay strong.
I think deciding when to stop riding (or driving, for that matter) is difficult. It requires the courage to really look at yourself. I’m sorry you have to stop riding, but I’m an old guy and know I will have to decide this at some point. I wish you all the best.
Fellow Trident rider here...I thought i was going to watch a simple video about selling a bike but now I feel moved by your words. Take care and remember we livein amazing times, who knows what medical tech will get us to, hopefully there will be ways to have you back to your best days. Best of wishes!!!
My family wishes your family strength, peace and much love. I've followed your channel for awhile, and have come to know your spouse, and you, by extension. Spend your time with your husband and children, enjoying each moment. Good luck with the sale. I'm sure you will still be riding with Scott for many years to come.
you have a really wonderful bike and the accessories that you put clearly matches its design, i do hope that you'll take care of yourself after selling it, godspeed
Good luck with the sale Tina but sorry to see you have to take the decision, I’m sure it’s been long thought out. Wishing you the very best of health given circumstances
My prayers are with you and all the very best. Do take care of your health. Hope you won’t stop being a pillion as it’s probably a better to take in all the breathtaking views you have in Europe
best wishes to you and your family . I am 75 and my wife 73 . we have ridden for many years and she has recently had to sell her Vespa as she has Rhumatoid Arthritis in her hands and feet . we both had a great year in 2022 but since then it went downhill . I still ride and have bought a Yamaha Tricity 300 . I cant change gears manually as i have Neuropothy in my legs . the old saying goes that you ride with your head and it is true , if your head is not switched on fully it is not safe . enjoy what you can while you can perhaps as a pillion . I wouldnt chance taking my wife on the back as i dont trust my leg strength 100% .
Oh wow! Neither of you deserve this. I was wishing to see you reviewing bikes together. Please get better! Here in The Netherlands we say 'beterschap' 💐
I sincerely wish you a recovery, even though we know that is not possible. I hope you can/will enjoy a lot of your family and life 🙏 It's awful to hear that you are ill and therefore have to give up your dreams!! I hope that medications help to slow the disease, stop an attack or combat symptoms.
You are an incredibly strong woman! Your honesty is a reflection of your beautiful soul & heart! Scott is a very fortunate man to have you as his lifelong partner, wife & soulmate! All the best to you and your family surrounded in love! 💖
You are such a brave person to 1; make this really tough and difficult decision,2; tell the world about it. 💪 All the best from a fellow motorcyclist in Sweden. ❤

How brave you are and how brave I feel you will continue to be. I know you have the love and support of your family and friends. Continue to take good care of you. Sincerely.
My family has been touched by MS, I wish you love and strength dealing with it
Sorry to hear about your MS diagnosis. I think you're doing the right thing and I hope you find something else you love doing! All the best.
Tough news for you Tina and Scott, and so much to cope with and manage. Best wishes to you both for strength when you need it, fun when you can, and love always. 🙏
In admiration I've watched this video. No words are fitting and I wish you strength and wisdom and positivity!
In the end, each rider makes their own decision, and makes their own risk/benefit analysis. We support your decision and wish you the best.

I've had some familiarity with MS due to the MS150 bike ride that used to be arranged in Minnesota every year. I've been a fan of the channel and also a Trident owner. Maybe it's time for Scott to get another touring bike or a little sports car so Cam can join the back road adventures :) Happy miles ahead to you all!
Hey Tina - great to see/hear you on the video. It takes courage to speak frankly like you have and I admire you for that. I am sorry to hear that you can’t ride the bike you like so much. Hope you can still get the pleasures of riding in whatever way you can, either on a different bike or as a pillion with Scott.
Thank you for your honesty and for riding as long as you have been able to. Sending you every good wish and prayers for the future. 🤗
I just bought a Trident 660 as my first bike and love it.
I am so sorry you had to say goodbye to yours. Hope you are staying healthy, active and strong!
Ich wünsche euch gesundheit and viel Glück
Thank you for having the courage to share your story. Wishing you the best x
I don’t know you, but feel for you,this vlog just fell on my feed. The sense of loosing that freedom that a bike gives you came across very much. I too have realised that my limitations are going to force me to let go of this love for two wheels, this decision for you will enhance your life though ,with more time and energy to fight any physical challenges.Best wishes for you and your family.💪🏻
Good luck with the sale, I'm sure who ever buys it will be very happy with it
You are one brave lady and good luck with the future
Hopefully you will still be around to make Scott keeps on track with his content.
And Scott more pillion perspectives please, no one does this on reviews, you have an expert pillion with you
All the best moving forward. You will have many people like me that will send prayers and good wishes your way. We all have challenges in life but we must make the most of it.
All the best, Tina. Sorry to hear this. Appreciate the honesty and respect your strength! And what a great video. A true from the heart family production👏🏻🎥🎬
Good luck with managing your MS. I had to sell my beloved Tracer 900 two years ago in order to buy an electric wheelchair, due to massive fatigue problems caused by fibromyalgia. I am finally better and recently bought a Triumph Speed 400 because of the low weight and easy handling. It allows me to enjoy Mc riding without having to manage a heavy machine.
All the very best with your MS health issue. Yes -- not riding is a very sensible conclusion. Good on you and my wishes for a lot more avenues of joy in your life
Wow, a bit of an emotional watch. We are a riding couple, my wife rides a Triumph Street Triple. I can only imagine the heartache at having to sell the bike.
Hope you are still able to enjoy motorcycles from the pillion seat, and we wish you the best of luck in the future.Carol & Richard
Tina, that was very brave of you to be so open and vulnerable about your MS. I’m holding good thoughts for you and saying a prayer for your well being.
Very mature and self aware that you made the decision you did. Much Respect.
Sorry to hear about your illness, stay safe.
I wish you well , brings back memories my Father had MS were 25 years , he was devastated when he had to give up his motorcycle
What a lovely lady , all the best to you and Scott.
Courageous video - wishing you all the best!!
My prayers are with you! 🙏! It is heartbreaking to stop what we love but health comes first bless you
I wish you all the best and better health in the days ahead. Miracles are not impossible....stay positive and push on❤❤
That was a great job. I can see how hard it was for you. Best wishes. Scott is a lucky man.
Truly sorry to hear that news
Bless you both and thanks for your input.
My son has MS so I can understand to some degree what you are going through. Just know that you can live a rich and full life despite your diagnosis. We all have limitations to some degree but most of us won"t admit to it so bravo to you for being brave enough to share your condition with us. The back of an RT isn't so bad either so sit back, relax and let Scott do all the heavy lifting! God bless you and know you have a good future ahead of you.
All the best Tina, to you and your family. I got a Trident as my first bike after passing my test and your videos were helpful in choosing it.
This saddens me immensely. I was diagnosed with MS 19 years ago, much to the disappointment of my doctor I started riding 5 years ago. Riding is freedom. The key is to ride to your limits.
Best wishes to you with your MS diagnosis. In university I dated someone who had MS, I used to give her, her weekly injection of medication. Her's was Relapsing Remitting type of MS. There are many other interesting hobbies than riding so find something else to enjoy. Again, best wishes to you for the future.
All the best. Appreciate your video and know it’ll make the next person very happy too
I wish you all the strength in the world. Look after yourself first.
Really feel for you here. All the emotion is evident in your voice. You owe noone an explanation. I wish you the best possible future, given your brave revelation 🙏🏼
MS is not easy to live with, but it shows a great deal of strength to keep going forward and to try to keep living your life. Keep enjoying everyday doing what you like at your pace.
Prayers and throughts sent. I have experience with close friends and family dealing with MS, be brave and stay strong.
we wish you well , thank you for this amazing channel
wish you and the family the best of luck! ❤❤
Thanks for sharing, my wife has Parkinson’s and is facing the same decision. Your perspective and story is relevant to me.
Very sad watching this.
To have you physical capabilities taken from you while your mind is still sharp, and the desire to ride is still there, must be heartbreaking.
Stay strong.
I think deciding when to stop riding (or driving, for that matter) is difficult. It requires the courage to really look at yourself. I’m sorry you have to stop riding, but I’m an old guy and know I will have to decide this at some point. I wish you all the best.
Fellow Trident rider here...I thought i was going to watch a simple video about selling a bike but now I feel moved by your words. Take care and remember we livein amazing times, who knows what medical tech will get us to, hopefully there will be ways to have you back to your best days. Best of wishes!!!
Alles Gute.Auf das die Wissenschaft hier Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet macht.
My family wishes your family strength, peace and much love. I've followed your channel for awhile, and have come to know your spouse, and you, by extension. Spend your time with your husband and children, enjoying each moment. Good luck with the sale. I'm sure you will still be riding with Scott for many years to come.
you have a really wonderful bike and the accessories that you put clearly matches its design, i do hope that you'll take care of yourself after selling it, godspeed
Big fan of the channel thanks for your candid talk Gorgeous bike! Triumph is a work of art
Wish you all the best
USA
Your honesty is overwhelming...wishing the best for you! 😑
Good luck with the sale Tina but sorry to see you have to take the decision, I’m sure it’s been long thought out. Wishing you the very best of health given circumstances
😞😞
My prayers are with you and all the very best. Do take care of your health. Hope you won’t stop being a pillion as it’s probably a better to take in all the breathtaking views you have in Europe
Courage. Sorry to hear your diagnosis. Thank you for honesty. It will help many people. There comes a time when all have to move on in life.
Bless you for being so open.
best wishes to you and your family . I am 75 and my wife 73 . we have ridden for many years and she has recently had to sell her Vespa as she has Rhumatoid Arthritis in her hands and feet . we both had a great year in 2022 but since then it went downhill . I still ride and have bought a Yamaha Tricity 300 . I cant change gears manually as i have Neuropothy in my legs . the old saying goes that you ride with your head and it is true , if your head is not switched on fully it is not safe . enjoy what you can while you can perhaps as a pillion . I wouldnt chance taking my wife on the back as i dont trust my leg strength 100% .
Oh wow! Neither of you deserve this. I was wishing to see you reviewing bikes together. Please get better! Here in The Netherlands we say 'beterschap' 💐
Love seeing your family being so supportive
Brave decision, best wishes to you and your family for the future👍
I sincerely wish you a recovery, even though we know that is not possible. I hope you can/will enjoy a lot of your family and life 🙏
It's awful to hear that you are ill and therefore have to give up your dreams!!
I hope that medications help to slow the disease, stop an attack or combat symptoms.
You are an incredibly strong woman! Your honesty is a reflection of your beautiful soul & heart!
Scott is a very fortunate man to have you as his lifelong partner, wife & soulmate!
All the best to you and your family surrounded in love! 💖
That definitely tugged at the heartstrings.
Wish you well young lady 😢
I do wish you well.
May God bless you and your family. I pray you find peace in your medical journey.
You are such a brave person to 1; make this really tough and difficult decision,2; tell the world about it. 💪 All the best from a fellow motorcyclist in Sweden. ❤
Wishing you all the very best 🥲❤️🙏🏼
I wish you all the best.
What a fine lady. More proof that bad things happen to good people!
Best wishes to you!
