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 is 37 and has MS but it’s very very mild. We first noticed it when one of her pupils dilated on its own out of nowhere. She’s on meds, some of which causes her hair to thin which is another confidence crusher on its own. She goes for blood work and brain scans regularly. Just know that you’re not alone, stay positive. I wish you both long healthy happy lives. Keep your chins up!
My heart goes out to you. My mother has MS. I live in Alberta, Canada. We have most of the MS cases in Canada. Don't give up on riding. Get a small bike to ride in town with. Lots of new treatments are coming out. Several promising trails ars happening in Quebec and India. Don't give up. Keep your brain working and create new connections. You are young, healthy and strong. MS won't beat you. Mexico has a stem cell treatment that has also shown to reverse and delay some symptoms in the hands and feet. My mother has been living with MS for 20 years and still manages to drive and hit the same concrete pillar in the parking garage. Her red car is slowly turning yellow in one spot.
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 🇨🇦
Sorry to hear of your health issues; an old and dear friend of mine has lived all his long life with MS and has constantly had to work around it- that you've been able to ride is amazing. Very sad that you've now had to make the right decision and stop riding but you had a red hot go. Good on you.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 😊
Liebe Tina, zunächst - ich verfolge euren Kanal schon länger, wir wohnen nahe Arnsberg im Sauerland. Deinen SCOTT fand ich von Beginn an richtig klasse, du hast einen tollen Mann. Deine Entscheidung ist nur konsequent und richtig. Ich habe vor einem Jahr mein Motorrad verkauft , obwohl ich extrem gerne gefahren bin. Meine Frau ( heißt auch Tina ! ) hat CONTERGAN und ich helfe ihr durch die Probleme die Contergan mit sich bringt. Ich habe mein Mopped verkauft weil ich nicht riskieren wollte - bei einem Sturz evtl. zu sterben , meine liebe Frau zurück zu lassen. Ich konnte mit diesem Gedanken schlecht leben - und nicht mehr unbefangen Motorrad fahren. Obwohl es das ist was mir am aller meisten und größten Spaß macht. Bitte bestelle Scott mal Grüße und sag ihm das er tolle Videos macht ( leider immer auf Englisch lol 😆) . Ich wünsche euch beiden , vor allem Dir Tina - das du trotz aller gesundheitlicher Schwierigkeiten stets Freude am Leben hast, und ich fand dein Video sehr bewegend - eben weil ich alles von dem was du gesagt hast emotional nachempfinden kann . Grüße aus Sundern . Bernd , 62J. 😊 leidenschaftl. Moppedfahrer
Sounds like a wise and understandable decision. Many people are afraid to even get on a motorcycle these days, so your riding has been an exceptional achievement you will always have accomplished.
I'm wishing you strength and luck. I was diagnosed with a fairly rare autoimmune disease when I was 41. Doctors originally thought it was MS because it also comes with neuropathy. It's been an up and down ride over the last 20 years so I think I understand the challenges you face. All the best and thank you for sharing.
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. 🙏
Thank you for sharing Tina, this must have been a painful but courageous decision to do this video. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
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.
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 impressed with your honesty, sincerity, and camera presence! Im sure Scott is very proud. I’m sure your riding days are not over yet. take care of yourself. I am also short. I did not think about having it lowered. Great thing to consider.
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!
It's been amazing watching you and Scott grow the channel through the years. Part of being an excellent rider is not only your technical skills, but also looking inward at yourself, and knowing when to hold'm and knowing when to fold'm as they say. Making a call like the one you did proves that you have the traits of an excellent rider. It's not always easy being honest with ourselves. Cheers to you, and wishing you the best fight against ms. Thank you for letting us ride along with you both on your adventures and journeys.
Like this channel is named after you have nothing to prove! And I mean that as in you are being very brave by this decision. I hope you can find fullfilment in other parts of life. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your husband helped me make the decision of purchase for the F900XR and haven't regreted a day since. Ill will pray for you and your family. Salute from Portugal.
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.
It was heart-breaking to hear you talk about having to give up riding. I am truly sorry that you had to make that decision. However, your strength in making such a difficult decision greatly inspires me to face difficult situations head-on. ❤
I respect your openness about the health issue you're confronted with and wish you and your family well in managing it. My wife doesn't ride herself but enjoys riding pillion with me.....I try and take her to quiet and beautiful places, so I hope that you'll still be able to enjoy motorcycling together for many years to come......Bless you for sharing.
I’m so sorry Tina, i do understand as my Partner who is also called Tina was also recently diagnosed with MS as well so both me and my Partner do understand what you are going through, Best wishes to you and your family. ❤
Tina, I was moved by your situation. I have degenerative peripheral neuropathy, I can't stop thinking about motorcycles, but at age 58 in my condition, I'm not sure I should get another bike. But it's hard, I know. Truth is, as much as we love bikes, there are still many other things we can enjoy. Stay positive, keep living, and be thankful for what you do have. Best wishes to you ❤
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👏🏻🎥🎬
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
Hi Tina, I am so sorry to hear that you have to give up your Trident. My wife has been diagnosed with remittent relapsing MS around 10 years ago which now have gone over to progressive MS. The fatigue, pain and slowed reaction times is hard to process and workaround. Over the years we had to adapt to many changes due to this. Take care and keep well, Cheers, T
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
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!
Dont let your dreams die so easy get smaller slower easier bike as soon as you can! Get healthy! Keep up the good fight!!!! Never get discouraged!!! God bless you 🙏🏿
So sad to hear about your health issue, i wish you all the luck for your future. Stay positive , don't sweat the small things and remember to enjoy each day.
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 🙏🏼
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 bought my Trident just last fall, it’s my first bike, I didn’t even have a license yet. While it sat in my backyard shed over winter I’d watch as many RUclips videos as I could on riding, the Trident and its accessories. I remember after watching the install of that windscreen and hand guards thinking, “she seems like a genuinely sweet person, and she’s modding a Trident!”; it hit me harder then I expected watching you now point them out as a selling feature. Sorry to see you having to sell. Thank you for the enjoyable and informative videos, I wish you and your family all the best.
I have huge respect for people who can recognise when riding might not be a good idea anymore, as the stress and anxiety becomes greater than the pleasure. People stop riding for numerous reasons and all of them are valid. I wish you the best ❤.
Hi Tina! Zuerst Mal: Danke, dass du deine Gedanken mit uns teilst! Ich weiß noch, als wäre's gestern gewesen, wie du stolz wie Bolle dein Bike nach Hause geholt hast (während ich dachte, ich bin auch irgendwann noch an dem Punkt). Und während der Film noch vor meinem inneren Auge abläuft, gehen mir so viele Gedanken durch den Schädel... Ich versuch das mal irgendwie in Worte zu fassen, hoffentlich noch ohne allzu viel Öl ins Feuer zu gießen... Was das Motorradfahren angeht: Ich fahre erst die dritte Saison (lange Geschichte, hab mich mit 18 aus dem Motorradschein rausquatschen lassen, hab's über 20 Jahre lang bereut und dann mit Mitte 40 erkannt, dass es langsam Zeit wird eine Entscheidung zu fällen und es entweder endlich durchzuziehen oder den Gedanken für immer an den Nagel zu hängen). Ich bin immer noch in der Phase, in der alles neu und aufregend ist und jeder zusätzliche Kilometer und jede Fahrt auf einem neuen/anderen Modell einem das Gefühl gibt, man entwickelt sich und die eigenen Skills nach und nach weiter und zumindest noch, gilt "the sky's the limit". Ich erlebe gerade aktiv, wie genial sich das anfühlt (und das ist - fürchte ich - der Teil mit dem Öl ins Feuer). UND ich erinnere mich noch LEBHAFT daran, wie das am Anfang anders war, wie sich die erste Zeit in der Fahrschule angefühlt hat, als "alter Sack" zwischen 17-jährigen, als man an sich selbst - ungeduldig (und ungläubig) - keinen, kaum oder einfach zu wenig Fortschritt wahrnahm und sich innerlich fragte, ob man die richtige Entscheidung getroffen hat, den "Unsinn" überhaupt erst anzufangen. Zu dem Punkt wollte ich um nichts in der Welt zurück! Und ich will mir eigentlich nicht vorstellen müssen, wie es sich anfühlte, würde man mir alles was sich über die letzten paar Jahre entwickelt hat einfach wieder entreißen, noch bevor "das Abenteuer" überhaupt erst so richtig begonnen hat! Wenn einem dann auch noch die eigene Gesundheit einen Strich durch die Rechnung macht... Bitter. Einfach bitter. Und (leider, muss man sagen) weiß ich, was MS mit einem anstellen kann - wenn auch Gott sei Dank nur aus zweiter Hand. Hand auf's Herz: Ich weiß nicht, was ich sagen könnte um dir an dieser Stelle Trost und/oder Mut zu spenden, außer: Wir (und damit spreche ich sicher für die meisten hier) sind in Gedanken bei dir und deiner Familie. Ich wünsche euch viel Kraft, nur das Beste und so viel Gesundheit wie nur möglich. Und vor allem: Ich drücke dir, euch, und allen anderen MS Patienten der Welt die Daumen, dass ein Trupp schlauer Köpfe in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft eine Therapie entwickelt, mit der Betroffenen nachhaltig geholfen werden kann. Ich habe neulich erst in einer ernstzunehmenden Dokumentation gesehen, dass man den Körpern von Mäusen inzwischen nicht nur beibringen kann, mit dem Altern aufzuhören, sondern sich das (biologische) Alter sogar zurückdrehen lässt - das schließt offenbar sogar die Regeneration von Nervengewebe mit ein. Kürzlich hätte sich das noch wie Science-Fiction angehört, heute ist das eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache. Also: Kopf hoch! (Und ja, haltet mich ruhig für einen unverbesserlichen Optimisten...) Haltet die Ohren steif und vielleicht uns Follower hier hin und wieder auf dem Laufenden, damit wir wissen wie's dir geht. Die besten Wünsche! Viele Grüße! Und ich hoffe, man sieht dich trotz allem hin und wieder hier auf dem Kanal!
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
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.
The good think is, you had some good time with the trident and enjoy it. I hope you keep your strength and confidence for the future. Even if this selling step is sad, there is still enough time for beautiful experiences in future. Greetings from a trident 660 rider from Berlin.
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.💪🏻
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.

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.
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.
Stay strong! you have family beyond Scott and your son. 🙏🏾
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
My family has been touched by MS, I wish you love and strength dealing with it
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
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.
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 😊
In admiration I've watched this video. No words are fitting and I wish you strength and wisdom and positivity!
Liebe Tina,
zunächst - ich verfolge euren Kanal schon länger, wir wohnen nahe Arnsberg im Sauerland. Deinen SCOTT fand ich von Beginn an richtig klasse, du hast einen tollen Mann. Deine Entscheidung ist nur konsequent und richtig. Ich habe vor einem Jahr mein Motorrad verkauft , obwohl ich extrem gerne gefahren bin. Meine Frau ( heißt auch Tina ! ) hat CONTERGAN und ich helfe ihr durch
die Probleme die Contergan mit sich bringt. Ich habe mein Mopped verkauft weil ich nicht riskieren wollte - bei einem Sturz evtl. zu sterben , meine liebe Frau zurück zu lassen. Ich konnte mit diesem Gedanken schlecht leben - und nicht mehr unbefangen Motorrad fahren. Obwohl es das ist was mir am aller meisten und größten Spaß macht. Bitte bestelle Scott mal Grüße und sag ihm das er tolle Videos macht ( leider immer auf Englisch lol 😆) . Ich wünsche euch beiden , vor allem Dir Tina - das du trotz aller gesundheitlicher Schwierigkeiten stets Freude am Leben hast, und ich fand dein Video sehr bewegend - eben weil ich alles von dem was du gesagt hast emotional nachempfinden kann . Grüße aus Sundern . Bernd , 62J. 😊 leidenschaftl. Moppedfahrer
Sounds like a wise and understandable decision. Many people are afraid to even get on a motorcycle these days, so your riding has been an exceptional achievement you will always have accomplished.
I'm wishing you strength and luck. I was diagnosed with a fairly rare autoimmune disease when I was 41. Doctors originally thought it was MS because it also comes with neuropathy. It's been an up and down ride over the last 20 years so I think I understand the challenges you face. All the best and thank you for sharing.
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. 🙏
Thank you for sharing Tina, this must have been a painful but courageous decision to do this video. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
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.
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.
Bon courage! I wish you and your loved ones all the strength to deal with this extreme challenge.
Sorry to hear about the M.S wishing you all the best to you and Scott Bob
That’s sad news Bettina, I wish you all the best with your MS and hope Scott and Cam give you all the love and care you deserve!
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.
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.
Very impressed with your honesty, sincerity, and camera presence! Im sure Scott is very proud. I’m sure your riding days are not over yet. take care of yourself. I am also short. I did not think about having it lowered. Great thing to consider.
Wishing you well,best of health.Your son is going to be a very good rider,stay strong.❤
Tina, you‘re still, and all the more, priceless.
All the best for you and your family.
An awful amount of respect for you, lady. Thank you for sharing your story. Take care ✌️
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 am sorry to hear of your issues, and admire your honesty and bravery in your approach, you have my total and utmost respect .
It's been amazing watching you and Scott grow the channel through the years. Part of being an excellent rider is not only your technical skills, but also looking inward at yourself, and knowing when to hold'm and knowing when to fold'm as they say. Making a call like the one you did proves that you have the traits of an excellent rider. It's not always easy being honest with ourselves. Cheers to you, and wishing you the best fight against ms. Thank you for letting us ride along with you both on your adventures and journeys.
100% respect for you and your honesty,be strong,you have a good man and son to fall back on,
greetings from Belgium
Like the other fans, my heart breaks also. You seem like a sweet loving family, and I’m sad this has happened to you.
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. 🤗
Like this channel is named after you have nothing to prove! And I mean that as in you are being very brave by this decision. I hope you can find fullfilment in other parts of life. My heart goes out to you and your family. Your husband helped me make the decision of purchase for the F900XR and haven't regreted a day since. Ill will pray for you and your family. Salute from Portugal.
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.
It was heart-breaking to hear you talk about having to give up riding. I am truly sorry that you had to make that decision. However, your strength in making such a difficult decision greatly inspires me to face difficult situations head-on. ❤
I respect your openness about the health issue you're confronted with and wish you and your family well in managing it. My wife doesn't ride herself but enjoys riding pillion with me.....I try and take her to quiet and beautiful places, so I hope that you'll still be able to enjoy motorcycling together for many years to come......Bless you for sharing.
Very mature and self aware that you made the decision you did. Much Respect.
I’m so sorry Tina, i do understand as my Partner who is also called Tina was also recently diagnosed with MS as well so both me and my Partner do understand what you are going through, Best wishes to you and your family. ❤
Tina, I was moved by your situation. I have degenerative peripheral neuropathy, I can't stop thinking about motorcycles, but at age 58 in my condition, I'm not sure I should get another bike. But it's hard, I know. Truth is, as much as we love bikes, there are still many other things we can enjoy. Stay positive, keep living, and be thankful for what you do have. Best wishes to you ❤
So sorry to hear about your MS. Praying for you, Scott and the family....
It's very, very brave of you to do this video. Take care of yourself and keep living your life with Scott and your son.
Das ist sehr mutig, sich dem Internet so zu offnen. Respekt! Die besten Wunsche an beide von euch.
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👏🏻🎥🎬
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.
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.
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.
That was a great job. I can see how hard it was for you. Best wishes. Scott is a lucky man.
Thank you for having the courage to share your story. Wishing you the best x
What a lovely lady , all the best to you and Scott.
Truly sorry to hear that news
Bless you both and thanks for your input.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and more fulfilling life in the future. Stay strong.
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
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.
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!
My prayers are with you! 🙏! It is heartbreaking to stop what we love but health comes first bless you
Scott is a very lucky man to have you! That's big and sad news. Sorry to hear it. Very difficult to do this video with your full heart.
You are very brave! Wishing you all the best! You may have left the motorcycle but motorcycling will never leave you!
Hi Tina, I am so sorry to hear that you have to give up your Trident. My wife has been diagnosed with remittent relapsing MS around 10 years ago which now have gone over to progressive MS. The fatigue, pain and slowed reaction times is hard to process and workaround. Over the years we had to adapt to many changes due to this. Take care and keep well, Cheers, T
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
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!
Dont let your dreams die so easy get smaller slower easier bike as soon as you can!
Get healthy! Keep up the good fight!!!! Never get discouraged!!!
God bless you 🙏🏿
Love seeing your family being so supportive
So sad to hear about your health issue, i wish you all the luck for your future. Stay positive , don't sweat the small things and remember to enjoy each day.
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.
It's tough when health issues divert us from the way we would prefer to go.
Good luck and best wishes to you, your family and friends. ❤
Prayers and throughts sent. I have experience with close friends and family dealing with MS, be brave and stay strong.
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 🙏🏼
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 wish you all the strength in the world. Look after yourself first.
I bought my Trident just last fall, it’s my first bike, I didn’t even have a license yet.
While it sat in my backyard shed over winter I’d watch as many RUclips videos as I could on riding, the Trident and its accessories. I remember after watching the install of that windscreen and hand guards thinking, “she seems like a genuinely sweet person, and she’s modding a Trident!”; it hit me harder then I expected watching you now point them out as a selling feature. Sorry to see you having to sell.
Thank you for the enjoyable and informative videos, I wish you and your family all the best.
wish you and the family the best of luck! ❤❤
I have huge respect for people who can recognise when riding might not be a good idea anymore, as the stress and anxiety becomes greater than the pleasure. People stop riding for numerous reasons and all of them are valid.
I wish you the best ❤.
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.
Sorry to hear about your illness, stay safe.
Hi Tina! Zuerst Mal: Danke, dass du deine Gedanken mit uns teilst! Ich weiß noch, als wäre's gestern gewesen, wie du stolz wie Bolle dein Bike nach Hause geholt hast (während ich dachte, ich bin auch irgendwann noch an dem Punkt). Und während der Film noch vor meinem inneren Auge abläuft, gehen mir so viele Gedanken durch den Schädel... Ich versuch das mal irgendwie in Worte zu fassen, hoffentlich noch ohne allzu viel Öl ins Feuer zu gießen...
Was das Motorradfahren angeht: Ich fahre erst die dritte Saison (lange Geschichte, hab mich mit 18 aus dem Motorradschein rausquatschen lassen, hab's über 20 Jahre lang bereut und dann mit Mitte 40 erkannt, dass es langsam Zeit wird eine Entscheidung zu fällen und es entweder endlich durchzuziehen oder den Gedanken für immer an den Nagel zu hängen). Ich bin immer noch in der Phase, in der alles neu und aufregend ist und jeder zusätzliche Kilometer und jede Fahrt auf einem neuen/anderen Modell einem das Gefühl gibt, man entwickelt sich und die eigenen Skills nach und nach weiter und zumindest noch, gilt "the sky's the limit". Ich erlebe gerade aktiv, wie genial sich das anfühlt (und das ist - fürchte ich - der Teil mit dem Öl ins Feuer). UND ich erinnere mich noch LEBHAFT daran, wie das am Anfang anders war, wie sich die erste Zeit in der Fahrschule angefühlt hat, als "alter Sack" zwischen 17-jährigen, als man an sich selbst - ungeduldig (und ungläubig) - keinen, kaum oder einfach zu wenig Fortschritt wahrnahm und sich innerlich fragte, ob man die richtige Entscheidung getroffen hat, den "Unsinn" überhaupt erst anzufangen. Zu dem Punkt wollte ich um nichts in der Welt zurück! Und ich will mir eigentlich nicht vorstellen müssen, wie es sich anfühlte, würde man mir alles was sich über die letzten paar Jahre entwickelt hat einfach wieder entreißen, noch bevor "das Abenteuer" überhaupt erst so richtig begonnen hat!
Wenn einem dann auch noch die eigene Gesundheit einen Strich durch die Rechnung macht... Bitter. Einfach bitter. Und (leider, muss man sagen) weiß ich, was MS mit einem anstellen kann - wenn auch Gott sei Dank nur aus zweiter Hand. Hand auf's Herz: Ich weiß nicht, was ich sagen könnte um dir an dieser Stelle Trost und/oder Mut zu spenden, außer:
Wir (und damit spreche ich sicher für die meisten hier) sind in Gedanken bei dir und deiner Familie. Ich wünsche euch viel Kraft, nur das Beste und so viel Gesundheit wie nur möglich. Und vor allem: Ich drücke dir, euch, und allen anderen MS Patienten der Welt die Daumen, dass ein Trupp schlauer Köpfe in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft eine Therapie entwickelt, mit der Betroffenen nachhaltig geholfen werden kann. Ich habe neulich erst in einer ernstzunehmenden Dokumentation gesehen, dass man den Körpern von Mäusen inzwischen nicht nur beibringen kann, mit dem Altern aufzuhören, sondern sich das (biologische) Alter sogar zurückdrehen lässt - das schließt offenbar sogar die Regeneration von Nervengewebe mit ein. Kürzlich hätte sich das noch wie Science-Fiction angehört, heute ist das eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache. Also: Kopf hoch!
(Und ja, haltet mich ruhig für einen unverbesserlichen Optimisten...)
Haltet die Ohren steif und vielleicht uns Follower hier hin und wieder auf dem Laufenden, damit wir wissen wie's dir geht. Die besten Wünsche! Viele Grüße! Und ich hoffe, man sieht dich trotz allem hin und wieder hier auf dem Kanal!
Very brave of you to be so honest about your condition. All the best, herzliche Grüße aus Norwegen.
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
I wish you all the best and better health in the days ahead. Miracles are not impossible....stay positive and push on❤❤
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.
The good think is, you had some good time with the trident and enjoy it. I hope you keep your strength and confidence for the future. Even if this selling step is sad, there is still enough time for beautiful experiences in future. Greetings from a trident 660 rider from Berlin.
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.💪🏻
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.
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
