Send me mail! - whenever there is enough stuff in the mail bag to put together a subscriber mail reading and shout-out, I will put up a video for you guys! Thanks to those of you who already sent me letters and gifts !
Send me stuff to use in videos !
Yes- I actually do send stickers out to those who contribute bits, parts, stuff for my projects and pretty much everyone who I talk about or thank in my videos. If you want to send me bike stuff, things for potential use in videos or tools to review etc. (or even just cash donations ! )
mail them to me:

should I do reviews ?
I'd say reviews are cool if you gave honest ones (not afraid to crap on a product if it does indeed suck) as well as giving out stuff to subs.
Cool with other tutorials on another channel.
Not cool with vloggy stuff.
keep up the good work. love all your vids.
Yeah man, that would be bad ass !!
So long as you do the reviews honestly and with the same style and humor as your regular videos, I'd see them pretty much the same as your regular videos.
I think you should make a few reviews (maybe 4-5) as a trial and then decide if you want to continue.
Also, doing reviews in exchange for free stuff isn't selling out; giving praise in exchange for free stuff is selling out.
as long as your reviews are not just commercials
and as long as you can back your opinions with some reasoning and facts not just more opinion
should I do the second channel or just post it all in this one?
Totally yes to the second channel.
Keep this channel purely for repairs and serious educational content. You don't want to have silly stuff on this channel so a second channel for the reviews, Q&A, outtakes & funny stuff etc would be great Mr Ichiban Moto.
I used to repair and paint cars & motorbikes and I've learned so much from you. Keep the great videos coming Mr Moto.
Second channel. One for education, one for reviews.
Use a second channel, if this one becomes commercial, people won't take your repair vids as seriously
What he said..^^^^
and no on a second channel. you'll create a schism. there will be dilution of time, attention and thus end result. focus on one thing. do it well. the only time to split is when you've got something so automated, it runs itself and you have nothing but time on your hands.
during the deep freeze of winter here, every ones bikes are winterized and stored. you guys ok with non-moto stuff on this channel when there is not bike stuff to do?
Your channel is more honest than 99.999 percent of all major media. I say do what you like, someone will watch it. At least me and the other guy, anyhow...
I would like to thank both you guys in advance for watching and sharing my first review
There is a shortage of badass stuff on youtube. I am in favor of both the 2nd channel and of product reviews, keep up the great work.
I'd watch them as long as their honest and not forced positive reviews
1. YES! I'd love to see some Ichiban Moto reviews! I'd love to see the way you do them compared to other people on UA-cam.
2. I would subscribe to your other channel if you made it. I think all of the ideas you have for it are good.
P.S. Subscribed to your 2nd channel just now.
You're a good dude. Do whatever you like. I am subbed to both channels and will ride it out and see what happens. Good luck dude!
I don't consider it selling out. You're still going to make the videos in the "Ichiban" style, and if the vendor is cool with it, and you get to give back to the subscribers, I say go for it!
It's your channel man, do what makes you happy, not just the subscribers. I personally think you should do it.
Dont even worry about getting a second item, just do some reviews and enjoy the sponsors item. Your stuff is great and would enjoy it all on one channel.
Do what you want. Selling out is doing what others want you to do. Your channel is Ichiban
I'd love to see your personality come out discussing products :-) Sounds like a badass idea! Especially if you randomly get moto camping gear, and "randomly," give it away to me... ;-)
More Ichiban Moto, hell yeah dude, can never get too much Ichiban Moto. That would be bad ass !!
I don't even ride a motorcycle, I just love to watch your dopey antics - you are hilarious!. SNL, Monty Python, Cheech and Chong, man you got all them guys beat hands down. If you get serious, I got no reason to come back. Like my old man said, "You gotta dance with the one what brung ya". Crazy vids got you here so choose wisely.
Congrats for taking it to the next level Ichiban, I would like the reviews and non moto related stuff, either on this channel or a new one.
i would love to see Ichiban style reviews!
Yes I would love to see a review channel without any bias, especially done in your own Ichiban style.
You know as long as your reviews are completely honest then I'm all for them. What bothers me is when reviews are artificially pumped up to appease the company providing the stuff
Second channel and reviews are cool. Product suppliers need to know that if their stuff sucks, you're gonna say so.
I say go for the second channel. As for the reviews, please just don't sell out. Keep up the good work, look forward to you're new videos.
I love what you do, and will support whatever you decide. If you think doing this will increase the amount of viewers, I am all for it as long as you don't lose your style. Anyone who says your selling out can fuck off. Everyone sold out as soon as they received their first paycheck from their first job.
I have no problem with you doing reviews. keeping a sample is not a valid reason for a biased review in my opinion based on your way of doing things I've seen. If a second channel gives you a way to expand without infringing on the current videos then I'm all for it and will certainly subscribe.
yo ichiban, this is just my opinion. I really dislike that idea about doing reviews on stuff(basically selling out) because then mostly this channel will be spam. instead do it another channel. also i like the idea of q&a. get questions from forums or from us. and i dont like how you give shout outs to people just because they gave you stuff. i really like to say more but thats basically the main idea of mine.
but if you do reviews, do them honestly.
I will do more Q&A. what's your Q? :D
hell ya do reviews! it's not selling out. It helps. companys and also shows people new stuff out there. love your videos and share them on Facebook lately.
as a viewer- never argue with the chance for free stuff. that's badass. just keep it serious like all your vids are. don't try to be silly just because you got some free stuff ;)
no on second channel
I think that'd be great, it's not selling out, just the next step up for a channel in my opinion.
Reviews are always great when they are honest and not for profit. And free stuff, that's always great :)
yes! that will be awesome! i'll give it 5 out of 5 ichiban moto stickers for sure! BUT you have to be as honest as a bad ass can be ;)
Hell yeah! At the end of the day it's your channel,do what you want.If people don't like it they will walk.....More content should be good, everyone has a 'normal' life away from bikes so we are all the same.Please don't change your style here but do what you want on the new channel......as long as it's bad ass!😈 👍🏻😎
Of course, it goes without saying (I.e. Be honest in your reviews). Keep to one channel...just make it "Random Ichiban, the Badass Channel" 😁👀
I'm happy only if they send you sporks, diamond paper and voltage grade assembly tape to review.
I have never considered a review of an product "selling out" as long as it is an honest review and you are open about the item be a free sample for reviewing, You are very entertaining to watch and would still be the case i think whatever the video was about. Thanks
Even if you don't give away anything, I still wouldn't consider it to be a sellout, provided of course that you give your honest opinion, Please keep making these awesome videos! Thanks!
pretty sure free stuff is never bad, but let's not get too carried away... keep it light and entertaining, but honest? idk... just do what you do brother, that's why we like you.
If the product interests you, I'd say review it, and be honest. If a company says you can't say anything bad.... don't review it at all. I'd still watch. Just keep it entertaining as always. :)
Keep the Moto Channel, and do the reviews on the TV channel, just make sure to use those high tech tools if needed! :)
Man, as long as you stay funny and badass I really couldn't give a shit what you do. Go for it! Oh and feel free to send me that pile of goodies, that would be a great incentive for me to stay subscribed ;)
As I am sure many have said, do the reviews honestly. I like the ideas of giving away one of each rewiew (pick me! pick me!), but not totally required.
The whole honesty thing works 2 ways. It keeps you free and clear of "Selling Out", and if you are not really into it, maybe companies will see you aren't going to give them a Hummer (marketing term) every time they send you something, and stop bugging you to do the reviews.
As for the second channel, yes. I could use more content to fill up my boring, non creative life.
keep up all the great work!
Two Channels, Two products, No unpacking, Just a review, Give it away -- And That would be BAD ASS ! (thumbs up)... I Love your current format I love watching your videos & I always LMAO at them... Thank you !!!!!!!!!
I think you should do reviews on some items. I wouldn't review every single item you were sent and you would obviously have to do it in the Ichiban Moto way not just the generic review. As for the other channel, I think it's something you should decide yourself if you will be able to keep two channels running. Whatever you do at the end of the day is your own decision and don't do what you don't want too.
"Tested to destruction", now that would be a cool series.
As for the second channel, totally your choice but personally I'd say keep it all together if it's in the same style and only move to second channel if you're gonna be serous...not that you're anything but legit already.
Hey man, I love all your videos regardless of what they are. You have a follower here.
If you keep your reviews honest then you are not selling out. Honest, informative product reviews are valued and a benefit to your viewers.
I like the idea of doing a give away of the product you review. It will add viewership. Good marketing for your channel and good for the viewers.
that'd be bad ass, it would put in front the manufactures aims to get their product looked at by the one master bad ass Ichiban!
I'd love to see some reviews from ya man, subbing to the second channel
I want to be the first to review a shadetree surgeon sticker ! ps- after reading all the comments on this video, I'm thinking the surgeon should keep doing talking head vids. keep them all in one channel with the motovloggs and the adventures of naked justice episodes
Think whatever you do is going to be cool with your global family and fan base. I watch because you keep it real and can't see how that's going to change. I was at Isle of Man for the racing this year and saw an Ichiban sticker on a race bike and trailer, raised a smile!
if you go by sticker sponsorship alone, Ichiban Moto just may well be the largest race team in the world ;)
I'd prefer one channel, but do all the things you were thinking about doing on the second channel. But I'd like the reviews
I 100% support selling out in all ways shapes and forms.
hahaha !
Nothing "sold Out" a bout it! just receiving products to honestly test for Bikers world wide! it's a service to us. and in turn you'll save us the grief of buying shit parts and services. hell yeah, bud.
Yes. reviews are great specially from one of us...The channel sound like a good idea too...
Hi Ichiban, great that you ask and many thanks for the hours of amusement you provide worldwide. I would not object to any product reviews as long as you keep true to yourself: amazing and educational Ichiban reviews discussing alternative usage, corrosion resistance, combined usage, personal mods, value for money, redundance or even scrap value of the products you are offered - with some rigorous testing. That is not selling out in my book and what else would these manufacturers expect? Just go with the flow and milk 'm dry. I cannot comment on the multiple channel issue, would not know if that is good or bad. You will figure it out.
Do a second channel. They know they will get a review from you that is not biased and they way you present it is entertaining and will reach more viewers by the word being spread by all. That's why they chose you!! Keep it up Ichiman!!!
Sure! Make reviews and a second channel, I don't consider it selling out.
OK. I got a question.
Now often do I need to change the air in my tires?
I love reviews. I just don't like when the review is swaded to give a good review when it's not. an honest review is the best kind.
its not selling out..it takes time to do what you do. nothing wrong with getting swag ..great idea about getting 2 of each..I think that would also help the businesses that send you swag to review. ..I say go for it !!!!
Clearly preface the video as a review and don't let it take over your regular content. Go for it!
I would love to see you do reviews
Sixth subscriber on Ichiban moto tv :)
Mate. I dunno about a 2nd channel. I just love this one. If you do the reviews I'll watch to see how it pans out and then decide.
based on the comments here ...
Based on watching of course. :-D
Cool with the idea of reviewing and giving away,
Hey itch,
what's in that baggy?
Additional content is good, if you started a knitting channel I would even watch that too.
Think "spork" just put everything on this one (Ichiban Moto) channel. Why complicate things, your bad ass, the viewers will stay for YOU regardless what the content is about.
reviews are cool, as long as you stay honest, and just not say "best products ever" to keep receiving stuff.
no need to second channel to me :)
you sir earned my subscribe.
The reviews are necessary to keep us informed with the latest info in the moto industry.
Free stuff!? That's badasss
so long as you are honest it's all good
I don't care about the actual content of this channel per se but I think the cafe racer parody is a good theme.
My only request would be that you don't push it. Although that might yield a bigger audience as TV does demonstrate.
As long as a product review is just that and not a sales talk I don't mind.
A second channel could bring new subscribers. If you do the reviews with your crazy antics.... they will watch. They will watch the reviews just to see what you do.
You should make a separate Ichiban Shopping channel... with cheesy reviews like the "real" shopping channel or you could mark the videos so they can be avoided. I think competitions are a fun idea even though. I won't participate because a win would mean import tax, hassle with custom officials and extortion fees for storage during the customs process etc.
As long as they are as creative as your normal videos
I'm cool with both ideas!!!
I'm not brave enough to tell a man that can cut #9 wire with a multi-tool scissor what to do.
your stuff is funny, unique and pokes fun at the silliness of all the misinformation that's out there.
I would prefer to leave things as is but I don't know what the new content would be like exactly. are you going to do a satirical piece on the stuff they send you?
I say to follow your gut. leave it on this channel. continue the dialogue with your audience, iterate, adapt, evolve.
"man's yesterday may never be like his tomorrow. naught may endure but mutability."
Ichiban! My answer: occasional review on the same channel. But like others said before me, don't dilute the quality of your content and brand image. Don't make reviews of bad ass products only, be sure to review crap stuff too. Otherwise I'm going to skip all your review vids (like I do with ETCG). If second channel is full of positive review vids (and generally lower average quality content vids), I will probably skip that entire channel. Like mcmtv2. Only so much I can watch! Keep it real. And BADASS! Five out of five metric Nickeltown customs thumbs up to you!
I'd be cool with subscribing to another channel if you'd like to do something like this. I don't view it as selling out, as long as your reviews are unbiased.
You should create a review channel for all of your wife's kitchenware.
II think the review/giveaway setup is a great idea and if it's honest reviews then it is perfectly OK. I think the only time though it would be ok to not give away is if you review the item and find it to be terrible or some kind of safety related issue, and the company wanting the review knows its sink or swim!!!
Honest reviews would be nice and hell, who doesn't like free stuff? If a company wants to give you free stuff to make an honest video on your thoughts about the product then go for it! Should there be a separate channel? I think not. I don't look at the additional content as diluting your current channel but rather, I see it as pumping new blood into your existing channel.
I think it's a great idea to give one away. Lonnie
I don't like the idea because they tend to be biased reviews in return for the free stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a negative review from a person getting the free items.
just stay ichibanmoto and be yourself
If it's stuff you might be interested in yourself, no problem
I'd say that if you do the reviews in the same manor as you demonstrate your custom tools and shop tips, than put the reviews on this channel. If you intend to do honest reviews or sell out reviews than I would say go with a second channel. Any company that sends you stuff for review has probably watched your videos and appreciate your sense of humor and are just hoping to get their name recognized through your channel.
sell out reviews will not come from this channel
If you are able to maintain the level of information and humor that you currently produce, I will be happy to follow.
I say "yes" to the second channel and "meh" to the product reviews. I don't care either way about about the reviews but I would definitely give 5 out of 5 stickers to the other channel.
Reviews of related products from you can be very enlightening. I'm a little concerned, if you pain a product, I don't think I would want it so sharing may not always be a good idea.
Not selling out, in my opinion. Just as long as you tell it like it is and extract the maximum possible humour from the product.
You could give away the second item, sell it, test it to destruction (literally) or eat for all I care. I will still watch the videos.
only honest reviews using the tools as "intended."
If you give your honest opinion, then you're not selling out. 2nd channel is a good idea.
Yes and yes.
if the items you review are motorcycle related, then sure, why not.
More content is good news for the viewer
As long you can still enjoy creating
non-moto stuff in this channel ?
The price you pay for success :)
Well, you're already doing all kinds of reviews for Nickel Town Customs products so I think if other manufacturers send you equally sweet gear to check out you should go for it. If it's on the Ichiban Commerce channel or tagged as a review on this channel that's cool. Dudes gots to eat, and those tools you have in your shop don't build themselves.
.... but nickel town gives me a 5 cent discount
I don't have a problem with you doing reviews. I don't consider or selling out. Just don't start a patreon account. Love your vids and have subed to second channel. see you next post.
Go for the second review channel. Your videos are bad ass.
