Would you consider a 45yr old man who is desperate for a career change, I've been I've been in the same job as a logistics supervisor for BMW working shifts. My passion though is motorcycles and have been riding since I was 5, I'm computer literate but haven't done much editing but I'm a fast learner, I've been in a job earning £50k a year and the money doesn't bother me I've realised I'd rather do something im passionate about and love than earn loads of money and be trapped in a job I don't enjoy and is effecting my health. If you want a CV please reply. I'm based just outside Oxford.

The awkwardness of asking for high-fives. Don’t do that

after first hearing about them 10yrs ago from the baron, i finally tried a double bloody decker

new bike prices, insurances, and fuel prices astronomical ..... looks at a brand new £5k RE 450 Himalayan, 80mpg and £120 a year to insure as just one example, you don't HAVE to buy a 25k 1,000cc bike

Good luck with your venture, as you're probably finding already insurance is going to be your biggest issue and business cost. Alongside sales I ran a number of rental bikes and offered bike storage for 7 years but each year (started Motobox UK in 2014) it was an arm wrestle to get the policy for rental underwritten and in the end the cost became untenable. Once again all the best, good to see someone doing rather than just talking 👍

Good luck with the venture. On a side note. What is that flashing light on the right hand side of the GS dash? That was bugging me. 😂

Awesome stuff - Baron von Bike Concierge

That’s unbelievable my GSA is £ 290 fully comp. Get a 300cc scooter just fun a bit off fun & get a year’s no claims.

10 years ago I bought my 2011 CBR 600F 2nd hand with 1500 miles on it. I ride to work everyday and park it in a central London bike bay. 10 years ago, I'd be parked next to lots of other sports bikes and super nakeds, street tripples and GSs. These days when ride in, I'm the only sports bike and the bay is full of mostly scooters. I think a big part of this is the risk of theft. It's out of hand in London. I would have bought a newer bike by now but I haven't because I wouldn't feel confident leaving it on the street. The only defence is to have a chain, disc lock and park next to a nicer bike. A long time ago London had a dedicated motorcycle theft police team but it was cut by Boris. Of course if you do make a claim after a theft, the insurance companies will just get that back off you in higher premiums. I'm now considering buying a scooter or ebike and getting a new bike solely for fun at the weekends.

Which helmet are you wearing?

Always good to see a new BVG video!

“Your on a rode, darling” I love that

Sometimes I hear 996 and other times 916

Screw off with that 12000 mile shit. Keep it forever and ride it when you want.

Really fun and informative video.

Yes sir. Love the idea and the vision of "YOLO". 100%. SP-2 looks the nuts ☺️

Seriously? I love the 44 teeth stuff but to"sell" a bike to 5 people and take advantage? Apparently that depression is karma. Jesus man. So much for keeping it real

I feel like we’re the same person. 🤣🤣🤣 Even the choice of words, my misses always says you sound just like me. Fucking classic.

Will you have cunt working in there?

Lost my side stand down the m4 lucky my mate was riding with me to hold the bike when I got fuel

A thing of beauty! Congrats on buying a good one.

Got catfished with the thumbnail! Good luck with the venture.

I bet when you got up this morning you thought right its time to get Mr BVG on the road and do a vid.

The parking space is a great idea im sure there are plenty that would avail of such a service and if you could completely separate the area to that your 44teeth set is closed off to the designated area for parking there wouldn't need to be somebody on site at all times but would have to ring a number to get buzzed in to retrieve or leave their bike so that way you dont have to give out keys to anybody. Best of luck with everything anyway

I've just insured a Ducati V4S 2019 model....for under £350. London prices are screwed.

Not really to do with the video as such, but I was wondering the other day if you still did your animation type business? Love the vids 👌🏻👍🏻

£200 a month to store a bike?? I'm glad I've got a decent sized garage!

The future looks so fuckin depressing... not that the present is much better...

Wait. Hold on. Just one cotton-pickin' minute ... So, you have to be young, eager, passionate about motorcycles (somebodies else's, of course, because you won't be able to afford one) , understand the technology, and be willing to 'put the hours and the work in' ... and most important of all, you have to be willing to deliver all of that at the lowest possible salary. Intern level salary. I have heard this somewhere before, it seems. Dammit, if I could, I would unsubscribe! At least I was able to unsubscribe from 44teeth when you accepted 'better help' as a sponsor. The 'better help' company is a bunch of unscrupulous scum. And you don't need to be very brilliant to know that. Supporting them is nothing better than abusing your peers, because you have needed, and received, help yourself in the past. 'Better help' isn't helping anyone but themselves. Right, rant over. Maybe until next time, because in general I am not holding any grudges. I speak out instantly. 😁

It’s a sad fact but in biking the past seems to be the future.. awesome video ❤️

Joe influenced my purchase of a Golf Clubsport, and Chris, my S1000rr. Life is good!

Not to be negative, but I really never understand the complaints about motorbikes being expensive/rich man’s pastime etc. I’m 44 (teeth), recently passed my test, wanted a bike and so got a Honda CB500F. I completely see that it’s no Ducati, BMW, not got 1000CC, and can’t tour the world on it etc. But it was a great price, really economical, insurance is really low, it’s got more than enough power to have fun on country roads, and it’ll go 70+ no problem if you need to use motorways. It’s great. Ticks every box (for me). It seems like a massive ‘first world problem’ people moaning about being excluded from motorbiking because they’re basically refusing to settle for less than a £25,000 bike🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

I prefer newer safety features on newer bikes.

Amazing you got a wave from a fellow biker - it’s becoming a rarity these days.

Your number plates are hideous!! Nice bike though!

If you had a ‘branch’ ooop Norf, I’d have your hand off.

Pitboxx Insurance. Build that.

Please grumble more .. i like the old BVG but am enjoying all your stuff.

LOL, the headlights were a bit foggy. So subtle.

Old boy, flat cap, probably knows his stuff

Arai or Shoei?

I pay just over £50 in Nottinghamshire for a council garage with no electricity just a small garage. So given it's in London with trickle chargers and stuff I feel like £60 is really appealing. I'd have one if it were local. 😅

Amazing idea and I'm sure many in that area will appreciate you offering a space but be careful about the pricing because at 60 a month plus vat you are getting very close to the cost of a 20ft shipping container rental, And slightly more expensive than a 10ft container, In Wales atleast there are small indoor units available big enough for a hike which is about £20 a month, What would set you apart from anyone else is if you rented out a space but also allow people to work on theirown bikes there, like a storage workshop, Having just a storage space and not allowing regular access you wouldn't get much attraction

Great to hear from you again, best of luck! p.s. My experience is that overwhelmingly it's ADV bike riders are the ones who don't nod. Not sure why, but I'll keep doing it incase I'm passing you! 😂

site looks good you clever bastard. good luck & this seems like a great idea.

I stored my Tuono one winter in the Bicester area, 17/18, it was about £45 a month back then, needed to have fuel in it because they would run it up to temp once a month. I've been told it's now £75 a month. What i liked with them was that you could give 24 hours notice to take the bike out for a ride, they'd have it prepped for you.

Thank you for the kind words. It is hard to do it all! Best of luck and keep your head up.

I don't know about the UK. My BMW Dealer offers winter storage. I haven't tried it yet. 50 bucks a month. I stop riding next month, mainly to save insurance, I get 3 or 4 months at a time. Last year I insured it for a full year. I only rode a couple of times. Its in a unsecure parking garage. I had one stolen here. Thet 25 locks and chains on it a PIA. So you might have a market. Classic bike I wouldn't by one unless I had secure dry place to keep it. Not familiar with london prices. It's got to be significantly less than me just renting a storage locker. Good luck with it, I suspect it will work. As a winter thing. Not interested year round unless I could walk there hop on my bike and ride away.

That concrete wall is quite something. Thanks for the reveal.

Come to Thailand dude, biking season just starting here, and i'm the guy who does it on 2025 Honda CRF 300 Rally, i'm in heaven, nice talk on your video bud, my Welsh buddies coming over soon too, should join us, Aloha from Tailandia, keep on vlogging👍✌️
