Alright peaky lad,,keep your chin up boss,I’ve been there where you are after a break up and it is fuking shite,but there is light at the end of the tunnel mate,,I never thought I’d meet someone else but I’ve now been married to the woman that basically saved me for nearly 20 years!! She also says that I have ptsd from a not very nice childhood,,she’s a trained councillor so should know what she’s saying,,keep on truckin man,don’t look back you’re not going that way,the future is infront of you 👍

Oh mate I’m so sorry, as soon as I have run my bike in I’ll come for a ride with you on my Enfield 350 classic but I don’t ride very quick because I’m retired. If it helps I’ve had depression all my life and only got one friend she is lovely but not a biker. I couldn’t go to the bike show because of the crowds . The farmer are supposed to clean it up but they don’t 👍🏍️

go to motorcycle meet man. Sure you'll find riding buddies that may introduce you to new things. Hang tight, things will get better! Cheers

Good to see you Brian. The beard looks good short. Take care bro.

Stay strong- keep talking- don’t bottle it up xxx

This sounds so familiar to my situation from about five years ago. I do think, however painful, it's important to know what real friendship looks like.....hang in there mate!

Great to see you enjoyed your day. And how fab to have tyres fitted to bike. No taking wheels off yourself. 🫣 that's OK when not your bike is not your only transport like with me. Look forward to more peaky adventures. Ride safe LJ

Love New Tyre day. Mine are scrubbed in nicely. Love the bike feeling now.

Rock on Mukka.

This video just showed up in my feed, now subscribed so you've another virtual pal. Well done for speaking out, it's all too easy to hide away. Hang in there man, even on the darkest days, remind yourself that better days are ahead. Though very different circumstances, I lost all my so-called friends when my health went to sh!t. Lost my career, any earning potential, things got real dark for a while. The darker days are behind me and I can count all of my friends on one thumb, still gets tough at times, but speaking out does help. Obviously we've never met but please feel free to reach out any time, I'm on here most days. And if you find yourself down south, there's a place at my table for ya. Looking at the amount of comments, you've got a decent community on here. Always remember that and stay strong brother, hope things improve soon. All the best, Tommy.

Been through it and i suffer from depression myself. So I understand . All the best

I’m sure things will be good for you going forwards

Hi mate, glad you got a good responce. The new tyres will see your safely along the road and i hope things pick up and get better as you go along. Ride safe and enjoy.

I wrote a comment Brian and then deleted it, as it felt more like stuff you'd talk over a dring or two, or in in a videocall. You raised an important topic there. Few random thoughts from experience: When you divorce/end relationship, you divorce the friends too. The ywill disappear. When moving continents, living in different parts of the world, you leave friends behind. Some of them will stay, and those you do, and you connect with them, even if mostly via video calls, ... cherish these. They are rare. Ditch "friends" that squeeze the juice out of you, take advantage of you. A closed door, an open book or a day out in the wilderness is better than fake friends. Being ADHD (more of the HD than the AD side of things), doing friendship is easy, and therefore tough at the same time: I can move on to a new place and easily make friends. I can make friends online, but I keep layers of protection (imagine being an onion) - it's not many ... if any I let to get under the skin, makes most of friendships seeming quite shallow, or intensive short-lived. Kudos to you for sharing all this stuff. It's quite rare nowadays. Stay strong buddy, and if in need ... just get in touch, happye to jump on a video call anytime (as I got friends all around the globe, this is for me the only option when not travelling..., I'm being a stranger in my own country of origin...)

Happy to see you out & about vlogging again bud. Nice new tyres & a mucca to ride out with seems like a good way to spend a day. 👍

😂 Steve g

Great video mate and great to see that you opening up has helped.. Glad you met up with someone for a chat and ride as well. Please give me a shout if you are anywhere near Bucks so we can have share a few miles and a brew ☺️🙌

Keep smiling dude,I get were your coming from not easy to open up.i have fuck it thought's aswell.

Opening up helps other people too, so thanks for that buddy.

I’ve got no friends at all to ride with I get so bored when I go out I find myself riding round in circles any advice ?

Eh up bro,you cant beat new rubber,but lets cut to the chase,where's the beard gone 🤣 Ride Safe Mr B 🤘

Your just mirror imaged my current situation. Me and wife decided to part ways mutually like you described. Stay strong and positive, life is short and look at it as new chapter in your life.💪

👍👍👍

you are helping others in the same boat

you are a bit more that 20 minutes away 163 miles lol but just ride you will find others that are near you it will be easier when the bike nights start up again

Have a Guinness on me mate 🍺👍

You have a good soul mate glad your feeling much better. Chin up and keep fighting bud 👍👍

Watched the live on Wednesday thinking bout your last video. Step by step mate. Motorbikes kept me alive though the last 5 years of the relationship with my daughters mum. They are the medicine x

Enjoy the peace n quiet ! Get out and about ! Enjoy the biking . I love my missus but I love my own company just as much as.

Excellent video Brian 👍

Step by step in the right direction 👌

Mate Just watched your last video, and man, fair play. Men generally dont talk about loneliness and feelings. it's always been a taboo subject and seen as being "unmanly," but it's not, and more of us should speak out. Better out than in as they say. All the best, bruv....

Top man. Onwards and upwards buddy ❤️👍

All the best mate

Great video and it was awesome to meet you for a ride and a cuppa, find fellowship with like minded individuals is a great way to get the monkey off your back. Keep ya chin up mate you’re a great role model for men and boys. 👍

you seem more chippa mukka that's a good thing

Best of Luck for everything Brain. Always keep your mind healthy, and travel more, travel keeps people healthy.

👍👍

Peaky you look different without the glasses on. Swear down when i saw your face at start i sat there going "How did he get david Beckham to make a video" 😂😂. I went to a place on monday youd probably love, Castleton in peak district.

On behalf of everyone who commented on your last vid Brian mate...We just get attached to certain Motovloggers & your on that list of most folk dude! 👍❤️😎 (Please Note:I didn't ask permission to say anything & just my personal opinion!) 😉👍

Hi Brian you sound a lot better it’s nice to talk 👍🏍️

First off I think it's great that you have the courage to say something that a lot of people keep quiet about and suffer in silence. It seems harder to make friends as you get older, for me although I have some people that I see occasionally it seems like my interests are a tad niche. None of my local friends are into bikes and have busy lives, so we only go out once of twice a year for a hill walk, more life long friends have moved far away. I do find that the occasional trip to a local bike meet and bar be que helps and I've had some good interactions with fellow [older] bikers. Since then I've met people that I'm happy to go out for a ride with occasionally. Many years ago I lost my main friendship group after splitting up with my long term partner, people take sides and feel free to judge without knowing the background. If they knew the truth they wouldn't have been as judgemental - but that would have meant I would have had to dish the dirt. I decided to keep quiet as I thought "if you judge me without knowing the story then you're not really a friend".

You would feel lonely in a room full of people after the end of a long term relationship . From limited experience it just takes time to mourn the relationship regardless of fault. Just keep doing what you do and the right people will find ya. You can’t ride a bike and have no mates, we all got you 👍

I'm also army veteran, peak District, biker, with not many local close friends.

Im leaving the Army shortly and know that the weekly grind is going to be hard working from home, which is why im going to be getting a dog. I love the gym and my bike but need companionship during the week too. Not too far from you down in Craven Arms.

Start powerlifting, go on real adventures (on and off the bike), do a track day. You'll shake that shit off in 6 months.

Kinda sad if you mention farmers keeping mud off the road on OpinionBook, you'll get a dozen comments defending them. They wouldn't be so vocal if someone they loved was killed after someone slipped and crashed on all the crap left on the roads. All the roads round my on the Welsh Marches are slick as... Keep riding maybe walk a bit if that floats your boat, just avoid the rivers at the moment as they are buggers.
