    Having watched all of your rebuilds I can honestly say you’re doing a really good job. You learn quickly but mistakes are inevitable.
    I’ve made loads but I enjoy the reward

    My son is a flight planner for BA. He worked at Luton for EasyJet until a few months ago doing the same job. Really enjoy your videos. I’m currently restoring a 1972 CB759F K2. Unfortunately when I get a bike I don’t get rid of it. 16 of them sitting in my garage now!

    Love your channel mate and although I spent fifteen years in aviation (Engineer) And I'm pretty capable, I'd be reluctant to tackle half the stuff you do. Big balls man.. I love the fact you self deprecate and don't edit out your mistakes. We've all done it and we all learn from it.
    All the best Ry 👌

    Keep doing what you're doing mate , reviving old bikes that are forgotten about is great, my Dad had a super dream that he got for nothing when i was a kid that he fixed up and put on the road , so the rebuild rekindled a fond memory of me and my dad , as for the Thunderace , it was the first litre bike I ever rode , a guy had one at my old work place , it was 2 weeks old and I'd only ridden 125s at the time ,I remember thinking it was like a bloody missile 😂, I passed my test and got myself a 98 600 hornet , and me and the guy with the Ace went on many ride outs and to many meets . Oh the memories. Thanks for that . Keep up the great work .

Looking at it as an outside observer the shop and you’re ongoing builds already rivals what some big channels have been doing for years. Rye, your content is quite good and definitely on the right track! Whether all storms and your channel will grow. Keep up the great work Bikes of Rye👏

    Great work, it must be a stressful job and there is no need to put further stress on yourself by worrying about other UA-camrs and their somewhat inflated view of themselves or their channels. The reality is that the majority of bikes you have worked on are the bikes that most of us have owned or rode at one time or another and it’s great to see them being put back on the road.
    The Superdream series has been great for me as it brought back many memories, my mates and i had 250`s including the Superdream, Yamaha RD 250, Suzuki X7 and Kawasaki KH 250 Triple these bikes were everywhere in the mid 70`s or early 80`s and you hardly see them except for museums these days. I hope you keep getting more everyday bikes back up and running, i love the way that everyone on this channel tries to give advice in a kind and positive way rather than sniping from the sidelines. Keep up the good work and look after yourself.

    You have ur own style and angle, keep it going 👍
    I’m honestly sick of seeing certain people on you tube, mostly advice from people who have only been riding a year or two giving us plus 40 year bikers advice. 😂
    Keep going as u are dude 👍

    I think youre doing great pal, nevermind the big guys. Ive not had any issues myself but i have heard of beef between the original motovloggers (2016 crowd) in the UK and the new people coming up. Fresh content probably doesn't take away views but it does make the old formats look stale which puts the pressure on the old guard. Interesting times to be in 😊. Keep doing you and youll be fine, youre the only rebuilder i know of in UK so thats great! Cheers, Sean

Sometimes I wonder what the heck I'm doing and feel like chucking them all on marketplace, but just spending 30 mins in the garage is enough to get me going again. I like to save old shitters too! One of mine is a 1986 Brazil CG125 that was awful, but it's back on its wheels again, although not running. Crack on mate!

    Love the back to your roots video.
    Love the restorations too by the way.
    Rye, what about getting back into bike reviews? Maybe a little less stress than the rebuilds and can quite often just be raw footage. But approaching dealers for the daily /weekly test rides they offer and get some content that way?

    • @BikesofRye
      @BikesofRye  2 місяці тому

      Thanks! Yeah the reviews are so much easier to shoot and edit. This upload took me about 5 minutes to put together 🤣 was wonderful. But thing with reviews it isn't very rewarding for me. Maybe if I rode bikes I wanted to ride then maybe. Who knows I may do the odd one, I have thought about it. Thanks!

    First, the negative - I find it very disheartening to hear about the lack of support for your channel. Here in the UK, there really isn't very many prominent MotoVloggers / UA-camrs. One would think, the community would support eachother!
    In any case, I for one find you very relatable. It isn't just about the Motorcycle content, it's also the struggle and effort you're putting in whilst juggling life that I find particularly inspiring!
    Well done for all your hardwork Mate, it's off to the Patreon page for me 👍

    I watch a number of content creators on YT, mainly as a means of feeding my obsession for motorcycles and a means of switching off from the work I do. I see creators start off with a unique perspective which is what makes their content interesting, then they seem to start chasing views and you see them become more like everyone else - and then you end up with what often seems to slight variations of the same message, and often from product launches they all attend. Unless you see your content as a means to earn income and so need to chase the content that reward with likes and subscriptions, keep doing you. BTW I (still) have the prior model of the R (really marginal gains and the upgrade price would find a nice off-road bike…fewer enforceable limits off road…) and good to know the time it takes for oil to warm up so as to safely revs - always been cautious when the motor is cold and good to know I was not being too conservative

As it happens less in this space, you can be the one to get it started! Ask to collab with both motorbike YTs and car YTs, it would be awesome to watch and would grow the channel a lot! I do get why you haven’t/said you probably won’t, but I really think you should! As a fan of both types of content, it would be awesome to see! Maybe a challenge vs Mat or another UA-camr who does similar stuff in the car world? Or swap, you try to fix a car and they try to fix a bike etc etc.
