Can't always ride in the south. It's been chilly down here as well. We've been disappointed with Florida. But it's good to see that you're out there writing anyway. It's so nice to see you. It makes us realize how much we miss you. Bob watches Martin. I agree 100% with you on the emails but that's my business background. People don't ever want to seem to be satisfied with what they have. They're always looking to pick on other people to make themselves feel better. We experience that a lot in the RV youtube industry. Super great video!
Well, now that I have a little extra time on my hands, I hope we can cross paths this year and go for a really good ride. If you share your itinerary with me, I would love to meetup with you & Bob somewhere this year.
With each year that goes by I’m getting better at biting my tongue before commenting… although I’ve certainly never sent an angry e-mail, especially not in a professional arena. Sound advice, sir. ✌️
It seems that for most of us, patience comes much easier later in life, a nice side effect of aging, I suppose. In this case, a business owner, for whatever reason, let his emotions get out of hand, and it ends up on social media. The only thing he succeeded at accomplishing was tarnishing his own reputation and probably hurting his business. Nasty e-mails can be expensive.
Wayne's Words of Wisdom! You can achieve a lot more with kindness. And you can agree to disagree. And you certainly don't need to be disrespectful. Congratulations on riding 12 months!
I have bought from both Martin and Pierre and actually Martin called me to advise that an item I ordered would not ship truly next day air because he was out of the country and it would be a week or so for it to make it to me. No problem. I have also talked with Pierre when I ordered something and he was very gruff and I probably wouldn’t order from him again, after seeing the email
That's pretty awesome. I got to ride yesterday. It was only a few miles, and it wasn't on any of my bikes, but I was on two wheels yesterday. I helped @FreeFree2021 transport his bikes to his new home. And I agree, I gave my boys the same advice about text messages. Before you hit send, set the phone down and walk away. Come back in 10 minutes, read what you wrote, then decide if you want those words out there forever. Great video and congrats on riding every month of the year in WNY! AWESOME!
Thanks Jeff. I'm thinking you and/or your friend FreeFree2021 might follow Boots 'n Jeans channel (Rich and Kake) or maybe they follow yours and his channel, because Rich often uses the term "Free Free" in their videos, especially because they love finding places to stay or camp for free 😁👍
And guess what. I only got 1 ride in July... and you know why, no Spyder, trip of a lifetime, and then Spyder shopping, but I did get one ride in July 😂
Hi Wayne, I dont watch many channels as because I simply dont have time :((( but I have watched this video for obvious reason as it has popped out due to tagging me :) :) and I have to tell you, you have new subscriber. Your voice is sooooo calm and also the sound quality its epic. Very very very joyful. If you can, share with me please what setup you use please.? If you cannot I completly understand. Thank you,. Martin
Hi Martin, seeing a comment from you Sir has just made my day !!! I most certainly can share my very simple setup. I use the DJI Mic that I purchased a few months ago, and I absolutely love it. I fully understand why you don't have the time to watch very many videos, you are very busy growing your business. My setup is very simple, I clip the DJI Mic to the boom mic in my helmet, and it's the boom mic for my Cardo Black (which is the same as the Cardo Bold). If you have 90 seconds to spare, you can see this easy setup in the first 90 seconds of a video I published:https: //ruclips.net/video/cyo1FuYRjzsI/видео.html f this doesn't show up as a link, the video is called "DJI Mic - Part 1 of 2 - Motovlog Audio Test with Insta360 X3" that I published on Sep 24, 2023 and I show where I've clipped it onto my boom mic in the first 90 seconds of that video. I also use the DJI Mic with my Osmo Action 3, and the DJI Mic can be used with any camera I believe. The DJI Mic is so very easy to use, however, depending on what camera you have or use, you may need a mounting adaptor. I needed to get an adaptor for my Insta360 X3, but it is inexpensive, and I do not need an adaptor to use DJI Mic on the DJI Osmo Action 3. Happy New Year to you Martin, if you have any further questions, you can also send me an email: wayne.spyderwayne@gmail.com
@@SpyderWayne hello Wayne. 😄😄😄 i am very happy that you liked my comment :) also many thanx for sharing your set up. I will watch your video in the evening as now i am leaving to shop to work on some installation videos. Have an awesome day and happy new year. Martin 🤟
Oh this sounds good....I write e-mails when I'm upset but don't send them...I revisit them in a few days and usually I've changed my mind by that time!
The key is the "not sending" until later. That way, you can remove any "venom" from the e-mail and maybe leave just the appropriate and professional amount of "sting" or disappointment in it. 🤔😏
Spyder Wayne You're showing your wisdom (age) about emails. Can't we all just get along. 12 months of riding even in the cold can't beat it. Rock on Wayne.
Well, thank you so much. You got to be part of one of my best days of 2023, on the Niagara River, and unfortunately, also part of my worst day of 2023, making a big booboo on my Spyder But I'm very thankful for an awesome year, riding with wonderful friends. Until we ride again, be safe, and happy 🤗😁👍
Good for you out riding!! We are having so fantastic weather much like last year at this time, but that means we will have a late start to Spring riding!!!
Well Gloria, maybe a late start way up in the great white north country of Canada, but down south of you, here in U.S., heehee, I'm going to start riding in March at the latest.... um er ahh... 😳🤪... that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it 😏😉
Well, these milder winters here in recent years have luckily extended my riding season, I certainly can't complain, but the skiers and snowmobilers aren't too happy about it 😏👍
Yep, that's my feat for 2023. Now, for 2024, I need to figure out what to do during the 11 months of permanent vacation... I think I just might be able to come up with something 🤔 🤣🤣
Congratulations on riding every month this year. I don't know if I've ever done that, I've never consciously kept track. I don't know either of those channels but I can certainly agree with your advice. I've been guilty in my own life of popping off before taking a deep breath. As my mom used to say "Engage your brain before you put your mouth in gear." Good video Wayne.
Yeah, unless you own a Spyder, you wouldn't be interested in those two channels. This video was just a reminder not to learn that lesson the hard way. Thank you so much for watching, Rich 😁👍
Hello Wayne, I find it funny Martin mentioned your channel, I learnt about emails in the military, if you type one when you are angry save it till the next day read it again where one of 2 things happen you delete it or tone it down, well done for your ride I am glad it does not get that cold here in OZZIE.
One day, I do hope to follow the yellow brick road, so to speak 😃... to visit your beautiful country. I don't mind the cold or winters, but at my age, I do prefer shorter winters 😅 Thank you kindly for stopping by 😁👍
Most people don't want to show their butts in public, but some people just can't help themselves. This one gave me plenty to talk about, too much actually, I cut out more than I left in. I surprised my myself at being such a chatty cathy in my footage 😳🤪😄 Thanks, Eric !
@@SpyderWayne Soooo very true!!! I bet you were still a kind person just a lil angry!!! I cannot believe the other individual you spoke of used part of your video????
@HarleyGurl114 The picture of me he used in one of his videos and on his website was from one of Jody's videos before I started my channel. He could have reached out in an email or instagram and asked her if it would be ok, and she would have said sure no problem, but he didn't ask.
Interesting points about that other Canadian chap - I have seen the video. The Canadian gentleman in question has been pedaling his wares on Californian Spyder groups, and I do wish he wouldn't! Congratulations on the year round riding. In Cali we have to stop riding in the summer months, just too hot. No kidding.
I guess age teaches that we don’t send emails when we are pissed off. We all did it ! My rule of thumb is to write it and then saved for few hours or next day. Odds are my content will change a lot between now and then. Cheers amigo.
Something about aging also seems to raise the level of our tolerance. Sometimes, it takes a lifetime to be patient, humble, and kind... and some people never get there. Cheers to you, my friend 🤗
Good to see you out riding in December! I know the guy in CA you’re talking about and used to watch Martin back in my Spyder days. Sad to hear the CA guy is an ass. I think I ordered a couple things from him. Wonder if his name is Todd? 😆
We all have our limits, but if you own a business and you pull your pants down and it goes public, that anger just might come back to nip ya in the butt, and in your business income. 😳😏 Oh, and by the way, I've stood beside and looked up to Eric, and after seeing a picture of you beside Eric, I can assure you that I will NEVER get you angered, haha 🤔🥹. Kidding aside, I think your good heart will always trump any anger, good Sir 😁👍
Hey Mark 😃 You ordered the grills from him ? Ouch, pricey I bought my first grills on the 2020 RT from him, but for the new Spyder, I bought them from Slngmods.
12 months!!! WOO HOOO!!! MARTIN is a solid dude....
🤔 1. 2. 3 ... 10. 11 12 😁👍

Yes, you never send an angry video. I always go by the wait 24-hour rule before I respond. Good to see you riding, cheers
Yeah, a cooler head always thinks better. And there might be a couple more rides yet this year. Thanks Dave 😁
24h rule... hmmm,.. i will need to learn that :))) good one,.. writing it down!!!!
Hey Wayne. Great story.
Thanks Larry 😁👍
Congrats on the year ride. You got to take advantage of the weather my friend.
I certainly took advantage, this year, of the milder days during colder months 😁👍
Being a once business owner I know all to well how to bite my tongue 🎅🏻👍
Mastering some good self tongue biting is a much shorter time of discomfort than public shame and embarrassment 😳😏😊👍
Wayne's Words of Wisdom! You can achieve a lot more with kindness. And you can agree to disagree. And you certainly don't need to be disrespectful. Congratulations on riding 12 months!
I like the sound of that 🙄😄 And kindness doesn't cost anything. We all have an unlimited supply of it to give away 🤗

Yeah, he really showed his 'derrier' in those emails, which certainly won't help his business.

This was a "two-fer-one" video. I got to finish my 12 months of riding in 2023, and I had some juicy stuff to vlog about. Thanks, Ryan 😁👍
I'll have to go back and watch Martin's video...sounds like a good one! Yes, I can see why that video would catch your eye, lol...
He's good, and I found the entire long video to be entertaining 😁👍
it was entertaining!@@SpyderWayne
Congrats on the 12 month of riding. My bike has been in storage for 3 wks. Spring seems so far away. Enjoy the ride.
In the last few years, other than some odd severe winter storms, the winters here have been relatively mild and shorter than they used to be. 🤔😊👍
Not first- glad you got to ride 12 months. I normally watch Martin the Vlogger but I’ll have to admit I miss it. Will check it out.
Thank you, Moose. I do hope to see you out riding again 😊👍
Congratulations on a new first for riding 13 months out of the year.
Very sound advice on settling down before you put your thoughts in writing.
Most people don't want to show their butts in public, but some people just can't help themselves. This one gave me plenty to talk about, too much actually, I cut out more than I left in. I surprised my myself at being such a chatty cathy in my footage 😳🤪😄 Thanks, Eric !
Yup, beware before hitting the send button!!!
Do you remember Thumper from Bambi movie ? ... If you don't got nuthin' nice to say, don't say nuthin' at all... sounds like pretty good advice 😁👍
@@SpyderWayne exactly!!
I also learned a long time ago, to not react but to respond and in due time!
Lashing out in the heat of the moment might feel good for a miniute or two... but then the regret and shame can last a very long time.
