Helmet cam works really well and I felt like we saw a bit more of the countryside. It’s a lot of work to get the footage but as an overseas viewer it has been enjoyable to see a little of Virginia. Good luck with the move and everything - I hope the RE can stay perhaps you can build a shed for it.

KZfaq geek stuff - Have you ever considered doing live streams? I tried it once on this channel and immediately picked up 4 subscribers, which is unheard of on my channel. It was an experiment because I follow a fellow whom I consider to be a "competitor" of my other channel, the one I put effort into, who was behind me in subscribers until he started doing live streams. Now he's over 1000 subscribers ahead of me in less than 6 months. I don't do it because I don't think I'm very good at it, but you might be.

The helmet cam gives the best view, I think. Damn cars! My gal just ripped part of the plastic front up on her RAV4. Because of her doing a job transfers and promotion we’ve lived 350-500 miles apart for years with me (mainly) riding down most of the time. This time I had to take our old 2000 RAV4 down. Good thing we recently sunk a lot of money into it to keep it road worthy, so she is driving it while I’m getting her new RAV fixed. Ivy pretty much destroyed my shed and I’m trying to think of creative ways to store my bikes outside of the garage, because I need that space. I’m debating between buying a enclosed cargo trailer, buying a new shed (that doesn’t need a permit because it is on skids and not considered permanent) a couple of those fully encasing motorcycle “sheds” made out of a tarp like material on Amazon, or dragging what’s left of my shed away from my neighbor’s killer Ivy and rebuilding it, it’s on post & pier construction, so kinda a hassle. Decisions!

For me, it's the cheerful personality that is the big MAGNET ! --------- Given the choice of watching some scenery, a Continental GT650 or the presenter, well, I wanna see YOU. Better yet, all of the above. :) For icing on the cake of entertainment, I think, more than one presenter would be good, especially if there's humour in the interaction ! --------- Therefore, I like what you're already doing! However, I submit that, in order to increase viewing numbers, you show your good self even more, wet your dry sense of humour, ie make the jokes more obvious, in a canned laughter style and continue to increase featuring Jobu! Why not also add some guest appearances, eg friends and family? --------- In a nutshell: Sound- and picture quality matter, but, I think, popularity of a video, comes from the entertainer/s. :)

The absolute worst is going to a place that uses those sealed plastic bags with the flimsy handles and puts the fountain drinks in them along with the food. I had one that had three large fountain drinks in the bag, and knew I needed to carry it from the bottom, but I had to lift it up to swing it out of the car, and when I did that the handle broke and the drinks spilled all over the inside of the bag and soaked the food. The guy was nice about it, but I still felt awful.
