First: I use the Quadlock as well, have two mounted on two different motorcycles. Both have the vibration dampener and very happy with the product. Will soon be ordering a third unit for my wife's Can Am Ryker. Second: Keep your channel as is. You have a definite niche market and if it makes you happy, stay with it. As I viewed this video, you were receiving a 20 percent response rate from viewers, which is a higher rate than many other channels. It is better to do something you enjoy. Take that advice from someone who is retired and enjoying life ... and riding motorcycles with my wife.

I enjoy your channel. I like when you ride and BS, no matter the content I will watch. I have the paranoia of leaving something behind. Keep my bike keys and house keys separate. Left work one day and forgot house keys, had to make a 44 mile round trip to get the house keys. I live in S. California and there is a gas station about 2 hours from me in Fullerton that sells 100 octane at the pump. Will go there a few times a year and fill up. Maybe you can see if you have same in Washington and fill up with 100 octane. You will not feel one bit of difference in your engine power with 100 octane. All the best, keep on bikin'.

I’ve been riding about exactly the same amount of time as you and have been following you for quite a while. Keep doing what makes you happy. I like the longer ones, admittedly I’ll fast forward thru at times but I personally don’t get much out of the shorts. A serious question, have you thought about moving on from the Rebel 500? I’ve been running with mine as long as you and I’ve been seriously pondering it. What are your thoughts?

4500 to 5000 is what these sell for used private party. Along with the fact you can also get a vulcan s for 4k used is why you got offered 3500. 4500 was only offered to you because the dealer was making it up on the price of the 1100
