Way to go that's awesome
Oh, wow. There were like 7 other women other than you, there. Seems like more women are getting into riding these days.
ua-cam.com/video/mS9aysEuiUY/v-deo.html 9.20 to 9.30 is he talking about you?
43 years of riding, and I can assure you there are two types or riders; Those who have fallen down, and those who will fall down 😉🏍👍
@@hotmail305 ...your insights are a shining beacon to all humanity.
Maybe a 3rd type, those who have fallen, but never admit it.
@@hotmail305 I agree with you. ,Truth is always Offensive to those who have No Ears for it..
I’m 40 and have never fallen! (Got my licence last month, lol!)
Planning on staying in the 2nd category, but atgatt just in case.
Exactly! 42 years riding. Still learning to ride my motorcycle everyday. Love it.
I had no idea that was you who dropped the bike in the beginning! Aw! Now that this video is up I'm feeling pretty guilty I never got the footage to you in time. I dropped the ball there. Really well made video! I loved the narrative approach.
PS. I have your Thruxton drop on my GoPro haha!
YUP yours truly! LOL I’m not sad about that missing Rocket drop footage at all!!! But I may like to have that Thruxton drop footage, as I’m hoping one day I can laugh at it 🤪#ImNotCrying
I am sure Triumph was happy to have you and I am sure you will be asked again. Your channel is a great asset to the motorcycle community and more people are catching on to that fact everyday.
How awesome for you! Believe it or not u are an inspiration to others and proof of how following ur passion can lead u to accomplishing ur dreams! U go girl!
Doodle that is so freaking AWESOME! Huge congratulations I mean that’s something you’ll always have as a story to tell well into your later years. I have a feeling this is just the start of even bigger things coming for you. A little drop here and there - those bikes can take it. ROCK ON!
You da bestttttt thank you for your positivity 🙏🏽
Thus is a great video. I love your honesty, self-depracation, and the fact that you show your vulnerability. The enthusiasm you show in all that you do shines through. I think you're great! D
I give you all the credit possible. You keep it all Real! This is your strength! Keep running with it!
What a fantastic opportunity and well deserved, Triumph may have given you your dream but you're a great asset to Triumph with your great reviews. I enjoyed coming along with you on the trip, such beautiful scenery all so well documented. You have a great UA-cam channel, so inspiring with advice and a wide range of topics, I've learned so much from you with your down to earth approach. It's so easy to drop a bike especially when you can't flat foot it. I owned a Triumph Tiger 100 500cc twin in 1960 here in the UK, a 1952 model bought and sold for £20, wish i kept it. Good luck with your channel you're doing all the right things with some great content.
This was soooooo well done. I almost felt like I was apart of this amazing journey. I'm certain Triumph will have you back next year!
YESSSSSS!!!!! Trying hard to make my videos more genuine and better for you all!
Love how she is shy and introverted makes the cuteness factor off the charts.🥰
That was such a great marketing strategy! Get that name out there! Thanks for the video. It’s so great to see you keep progressing, you got this girl.
Ah Take me back!!! haha! I'm so glad we got to meet!
Me too!!!!! ^ SWEET videos right here everybody! She’s already doing cool stuff that took me 4 years and 100+ videos to figure out 🤪
@@DoodleOnAMotorcycle IF that is true... it's ONLY because Bas Ass girls like yourself have been doing it and giving me the inspiration!!
Awesome video! Looks like you had a great time in AZ. Don’t worry about dropping the bikes, don’t let that get in your head. You are a true motorcyclist, and you ride for all the right reasons. Keep it up! 😊👍🏼✊🏼
Congratulations on your Triumph trip, it looked like a blast; I love your enthusiasm 👏🏻
I’m thinking we have all drop “a” bike. There are those that admit this, and those that don’t. Major props for putting it out “here”. 👍🏼 Just keep on keeping on.........👏👏👏 😎
Great vid Doodz.... loved it! So happy for you getting to be part of such an experience 🙂 About your DOAM channel not being as big as a lot of other people's channels..... as with other things in this world it's not how big it is it's what y'do with it!...... and what you do with your channel is wonderful.... I always smile when I get a notification with "Doodle" in it.... I love watching your work. P. S. - Triumph is looking for all types of riders..... even riders that drop a bike occasionally.... it can happen to ANYONE..... I know cuz I've done it twice also. Why do they make engine guards/crash bars. If nobody ever dropped their bike there'd be no need for 'em. Luvzya Doodle and your channel/work. Keep ridin'!!!! 💕 💕 💕
WoW thats so cool. And dont sweat the drop. EVERYBODY drops there bike, it happens.Triumph is lucky to have real people like you out there. Cool cool Doodle!!
So happy for you! I'm glad you had fun. Your authenticity shines through!
Stuff happens. So glad you were able to overcome it and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Also loved the production on this video. The music was exceptionally well chosen and the narration to overcome the audio capture was well executed. Keep being you! Your honesty and candor is refreshing and who cares if you have the latest camera or make mistakes. We're all human!
Great video, your enthusiasm is so infectious. Well done, you. And well done Triumph for inviting you! 👍🏻👍🏻
Doodle, thank you for sharing this video and for your honesty. It takes guts to admit your goofs and voice your insecurities. You, my lady, are brave and true and you rock! I love you, my riding sista even though we will only talk on UA-cam.
So cool Doodle!! I can feel your excitement, congratulations on being chosen to test ride your favorite motorcycle! Thanks for sharing!
ENVIOUS! Truly a 'triumph' for you! Glad you had such a great experience! Thanks for posting and take care!👍😎
Love your content, you have such a relatable down to earth persona; goofy, modest, and humble. Please keep it coming!
Enjoyed this, Doodle! Looks like an awesome experience!!!
We love you! We appreciate your honesty and your passion. Thank you for keeping it real. You are awesome!❤️
Really nice of you to mention all those fellow UA-camrs, most of them I had never heard of, I will be checking some of them out. You're still my fave tho.
That's a very good idea just to dive into this "dropping issue" by raising your bike and getting used to it. Sure dropping a bike is a thing and happens to every rider but if this risk influences your confidence in the bike - it's gone to far. And definetely let's do something about it. Keep us posted about your progress on that! Congrats for nice trip
Very cool stuff, keep up the good work and may your 2020 go in an ever amazing direction!!! Ride safe!!!
I just realized that you were one of the rewievers on the Triumph Bonneville I watched that made me go all in for the bike. Best damn thing I did last year, took my motorcycle license without ever having touched a bike and then bought a Bonneville T100 black. The first 50 meters of riding it I knew this was the dream bike and it handles like a dream (I'm fairly tall btw). I just discovered your channel again and it's so refreshing to see another genuine Triumph fangirl!
Currently waiting for riding season to start here in Norway, +/- 2 weeks until I can ride my Bonnie again. Loved watching this and the spectacular sights, and I loved that Triumph invited you on this trip! :)
Omg that’s awesome!! 😅
Go Girl! Thanks for sharing your Triumph adventure.
I think they made a great choice by picking you for their event. I think
Triumph caters to female riders more than any other motorcycle company. Your channel could be used as a great promotional tool to anyone considering getting involved in motorcycles. Nice job.
Love it. What a pleasure to watch you.
The happiest moment in riding the bike is give you a chill, a chill to experience the beautiful places you never seen b4.
I just started watching your chanel Doodle and you are such an amazing person! I took my motorcycle license earlier this year and bought a Kawasaki Vulcan. The first thing I did was to go and get gas and wasn't ready for the added weight of a full tank and dropped it. 15 minutes of owning it. Bikes will be dropped, it's just a reality I've come to terms with. But I love how open you are about everything. Many would have cut out the drops and silly mistakes. You are definitely my nr 1 motochanel! Thank you for everything you do for all of us new riders in the world!
/Much love from a 40 year old noob rider from Sweden!
Triumph knows what they were doing. Your channel was instrumental in my decision to pull the trigger on a new (leftover 2020 but still, new from a Triumph dealer) ST-R this morning. That was before I'd even seen this video. That must've been fun. That you're fearless, yet wise, share the good along with the mistakes is all part of what makes the content so relatable.
☺️❤️❤️
Great video... So glad that you were able to attend and that you enjoyed yourself for the most part. #goodstuff 😊👋🏾.
Well done! You deserve it for making entertaining videos. Keep up the good work.
Very cool!
Must have been a blast.
Well deserved invite, after following your channel for a while you have been a huge promoter of the brand.
I appreciate you using the word “promotor” instead of “stalker” or “obsessed” 🤪
Congrats!!! enjoy!!!
That was refreshingly different and honest. I have to say you’re really brave, even editing in the “no makeup” close ups, and the whole bike drops and u-turn issues. Bravo!
Girl I feel you lol I feel like the only reason I even talked to anyone at Babes Ride Out last year was because people came up to me to say hi XD
Also I'm just so excited you got to go! I'm like yeaaaa! Doodle does Travel Vlog! I love this!
Ps. lol don't feel too bad about the drops! Company Demo Bikes get dropped ALL the Time.
Ahhhhh yesss fellow introvert
I'm kind of ok if I'm hosting the event, then it's literally my job to talk to everyone, but going to other events where I don't know anyone is a lot harder to be social lol
CONGRATS !!
Wow that was awesome! I live in AZ so I see it everyday but yes its so beautiful here and Im lucky to live where theres the most scenic rides every day of the year. Loved your video and how down to earth you always are! So genuine!
Frankly,,you have a refreshing honesty that more than compensates for audio glitches and camera footage not being as good as you would wish. Also, you fully deserved to be there: more so than a couple of other 'full of themselves' lady riders who do not even ride or support the brand.
Awesome! Well there is one thing you can cross off your bucket list! I'm sure Triumph will forgive you. I give you major props for riding the rocket 3 because I don't think I would have tried that one! Looks like you had a blast!
You are so real it’s easy to love you! Keep doing what you do.
This is so awesome! Happy for you.
Congratulations and a Belated Welcome to Tucson. We love the riding here. I"m so glad you had the opportunity to come here and ride. Don't let that "Imposter syndrome" get to you. You do belong here with the Triumph people.
Don't sweat dropping the bikes. It happens. Because of this I am going to go do some test rides at my local Triumph dealer. So it worked in that respect. I am sure more of your viewers will do the same. One thing the other you-tubers cant come close to is your enthusiasm for the brand you. You can feel how happy and excited you were about this event. I hope they keep inviting you.
You know. Maybe don't sweat it but also don't ignore it. It doesn't need to be like that. She can master it and not drop any other bike any more. It's doable. So let's do it!
Yesss!!!
I love your honesty.. it is a very rare commodity in this day and age and I really appreciate it. You are being too hard on yourself.. In the motorcycle world there are those who have dropped their bike and then those who WILL drop their bike... I am sure they will re-invite you next year.
Well done video! Funny and fun to watch. Thanks for the upload.
Triumph for life. I have two Daytona 675s and don’t think I can ever leave the triple family.
What a drrreeeaaammm!! So so happy for you!! Beautiful bikes and a beautiful ride.
Love your videos and your opportunity to test your favorite brand .
Congratulations Doodle! What an experience
Grats girl..i have seen most of the peoples vids on youtube on this trip...looks like it was awesome.
Glad you had a great time. Everybody drops a bike at some point. While not ideal, it's not the end of the world. Best wishes Doodle.
loved watching a real, true to life experience of what its like to ride a new bike. I am also hesitant on bigger bikes that i cant flat foot on so thats nothing to feel bad about. Refreshing to see something more down to earth and relatable.
Good for you Doodle👍👍👍
I think you did an excellent job with your video great camera or not. Your honesty and sense of humor I’m sure will win other riders over who tip toe a bike. Oh yea makeup only enhances the beauty that is already there!!
Ride safe!
So Rad you got to do that. Appreciate your honesty. Thanks for sharing
Your excitement is infectious. My bike is in winter storage. We had storm Ciara, Dennis and now Jorge. But I'm excited because of you. Thank you🤗🤗👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾💯
P.s. If triumph don't get in touch with you on their next event. I will spam them. Hahahah
I love your honesty. You are awesome!!!
There she goes again ... being Triumphant and stuff... Congrats on the invite and rides!
Hey Doodle, i just love your enthusiasm, and youre funny to, keep up the good work, take care.
Fantastic !
What an amazing experience and you totally deserved to be part of it. Stay classy Doodle. 🙂
Congrats Doodle! I would have lost my mind being there.. amazing experience! It's not dropping the bike that they should remember.. it's that you got back on.
That is awesome!!!!
So dope! I’m happy for you! I would have definitely owned that ROCKET 3🔥. So nice to be among other riders😭
Great video. You know what, at least you're REAL. So what that you dropped the bike. You actually inspire so many that have the fear of riding or dropping the bike. By the way, Jerry LOVES DUCK WALKING (: (I'm actually doing his program via his videos). I watch a lot of videos and your definitely at the top of the list! Keep it up.
You on that Truxton wow!! What a combination! Enthusiasm mixed with tradition and subtle performance...
Congratulations Doodle on getting to go ride the new Triumph Motorcycles. Don’t fret that you dropped the Rocket 3 and Thruxton. I’m sure others have done the same thing. Keep up the great content
Just came to your channel via reference from Kevin Morris at MCRider. Great trip to Tucson! So happy for you. I’m a recent Triumph convert. Got a 1200 Tiger Explorer. It’s so fast and nimble, but this tall, old man still worried about dumping it over. Usually it’s when I stop for gas and the ADD kicks in, whoops! How’bout that kickstand, Cowboy?
Congrats on the opportunity and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
Your photo choice: "the eyes won it" deep down that was my choice. Admitting that you dropped the bikes is fantastic. Shows that we are all human. Very very happy you got
selected. No one would be more honest than you.
Awesome job your were glowing I can tell and don't worry about dropping the bike it's part of growing up
Great video. Being a triumph fan boy and an introvert, this video hit a little close to home. Drop a bike or not... y’r living the dream.
That is way cool!!! What an opportunity to get flown out just to test ride bikes! Empire out here in Spokane just had their Rocket 3 launch party this past weekend and it is indeed a BEAST! I'm actually really excited to test the Rocket 3. And at 2500cc's, yeah... biggest bike I would have ever been on. By the way, I had those same Icon gloves!!! The thumb area near the palm ripped in two months of use so... maybe I just got a bad pair. They work fairly nice in the 30° cold though. Thanks for sharing your experience! That was a very fun video to watch! Ride safe!✌️
Great vid, it's all good (dropped bikes), I have a feeling you'll still be in good standing with Triumph. Honesty is a great virtue every company should be enriched by which you showed in your vid.
I'm glad you had fun during the ride. Yes, someone at Triumph knew you, in order for you to be included. It's always frustrating to drop a bike, but you aren't the first and won't be the last. I doubt a low speed drop would ban you from being invited to future events, as everyone knows this sometimes happens when people ride bikes they are not familiar with. In fact, I had almost the exact same thing happen to me a few days ago (backing up a new motorcycle I was test riding slightly uphill and one foot slipped on gravel). Thankfully I did not loose my balance and drop the bike, but I knew I had a close call. I commend you on vowing to improve this aspect of motorcycle operation, but honestly, sometimes these things can't be prevented. In any case, you are now a celebrity and this exposure should help you continue to increase your presence on UA-cam. Congratulations!!!
You are an amazing person You are not afraid to be and show your real self, no matter what people might think You have more heart than most people I know In my opinion, the other motovloggers should consider themselves lucky that they got to meet you in person Thanks for being yourself Ride safe Bye
What an amazing event 🤩
Good job Doodle and Triumph
So much fun. Doodle has made it to the big time! That Thruxton is probably the hottest bike I've ever seen.
About the tippy toes, I'm 5'5", and on my dual sport I slide my butt off the side and just have one foot firmly planted when I stop. Then I just hop up and let the bike grab me when I get going again.
Bless you, dont worry about the Drop.
congrats!
Got my vote for sending you to the next event. Dropping bikes is far from desirable, but it's all in a day. Gotta see just how durable these things are. Case in point: I asked for a tip-test at a Honda dealership (just to see if I could get it upright again.) After gently laying the thing down, and having not touched it yet, it broke the shifter, the driver's side footpeg, and cracked (I'm not kidding) the transmission casing. I paid for the broken parts, but I'm not buying one of those fragile bikes (Honda VFR 1200 Crosstour.) Which is a shame because it glides down the road.
Does prove you need to ride more often. Over hills, through mountains, in the desert, along the coasts, in town, out in the countryside, come sun, come storm, through fields, and around the world. How about making it to Montana from where you're at by next year (or the next after that.) Or how about New England and Newfoundland by next summer? In five or ten years, stretch your legs to Tierra Del Fuego? Take a quick jaunt to the Florida Keys. A summer ride I'd highly recommend is up through the panhandle of Idaho. Winter is out of the question, but Georgia, to Sandpoint ID, by way of Flagstaff AZ would be epic. Stop off in Steamboat Springs or Veil, CO on the way home.
If you haven't guessed already, I have ambitions of sending you through the most scenic places on Earth. I care not one wit if you drop a bike in every state so long as you stay safe and take in the view. NOBODY shows joy the way you do.
You were right in our backyard! You should have done a meetup! Great video! You are as real as they come on UA-cam.
Super video, you are such a positive person , don't blame yourself for this dropping, it's happen even the best and you are for me, it's really cool watching you when you doing this videos, that must be for you super experience to meet this people and share with them passion for motorcycle , greeting from poland
You are doing our industry a massive favor by getting new riders stoked about motorcycles. If your travels ever take you to Vancouver BC swing by Trev Deeley Motorcycles and we can get you on some of our beasts. Anyone can dump a bike but it takes real courage to admit it and get back on the horse! Great work!!!
Sweet! 😁 following the dealership on Instagram now
I'm glad you had a great time. You deserve it.
Good for you , I run a 2012 Scrambler . All I have done is pipes and a Dart fly screen , I love it will never get rid of it . All my family and friends ride Harleys. Guess who's bike gets the Most attention :) Love your Channel , Have fun.
Yeaaa buddy! Ride that Jurassic World bike! 😁
Well done Doodle. Looked like a great event
Love this video!
Happy for D & jealous
& I look up to you
Awe man. Look. This was like 20 years ago. I had a BRAND new Honda VFR 800. I had it for about a month then I decided to take the MSF course. And I was the only one who tipped my bike. Hey. We live and learn. Dust off and move on. I totaled a new cop car with 7 miles when I first got on too. Oh well!
How cool!!! It would have been an absolute dream. 🖤🖤
