Salut, Tizule! Liniștește-te! Acel individ este un tâmpit, el însuși, cu probleme la mansardă. Comentariile lii arată simptomele tipice pentru frustrații incompetenți, care turbează când văd pe alții făcând ceea ce ei nu sunt capabili. Ai perfectă dreptate, în ce spui aici și te înțeleg, că te-a afectat. Și eu mi-am pierdut, nu "jumătatea", ci tatăl, chiar de Moș Niculae. Deși comentariile mele, pe canalul tău, sunt uneori critice, acum, simt nevoia să-ți spun că te respect și te apreciez, ca om, cum se spune, "tare de virtute". Bagă-l de multiple ori în locul de unde a ieșit și uită că există. Și încă ceva: Tu m-ai inspirat, cumva, ca de la toamnă, să intru și eu în rândul "selecției naturale" care călărește scuterul, iarna.

[@RideWithAlex]

Mulțumesc! Cu grija și atenție și echipament corect și fără teribilism nu e nimic anormal sa mergi iarna. Drumuri lungi intradevar sunt dificile dar sa te duci la munca și înapoi... Nu e cu nimic mai rău comparativ cu a sta 10 minute în stația de autobuz.

As i'm getting older (49) the only time i leave my scooter home is when it is raining. Do what you like and what makes you feel good and don't listen to what other people think is good for you.

[@cdorob]

raining is ok, i hate snow :))

[@Stefan_trekkie]

Sorry to hear about this comment, Alex. I know that feeling, I suffer from similar trolling every winter but for riding bicycle. Even my alcoholic father, with witch I had almost no contact for years and he ordered me to stop riding my bicycle trough the winter on the phone /that was year ago/.. I give him the few F words and hang up the phone. I have been ridiculed, questioned, laugh at and everything else from every one, my co-workers, my family, my friends outside the two wheel world.

Hello Alex, I started watching your videos 3 days ago. The reason being I was looking for SYM ADX content. Although I’m from the U.K., I live in Turkey and one week ago they changed the law so I can now ride a 125 cc with my car license. I watched all your ADX videos and I’m currently riding through Georgia with you. Because I’m new to your channel, I don’t know if you’ve shared your personal story before. Anyway, I’m sorry for your loss. It takes great courage to get out of bed and carry on, as you’re doing. Your Chanel is fantastic, I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. Your English is amazing. I love you dropping in bits that are so surprising to me, I’m thinking how does he know that word/phrase? Anyway I’m just arranging to buy an ADX and can’t wait to get out on it. Thankfully the temperature doesn’t drop like it does for you here in Bodrum! Love the content and F*ck the haters.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you. I have shared much of my life but this little video was a bit after her passing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apLMYmhtoa2teZo

[@ARISKORAKIDIS]

👍👌...I agree with you Alex, but there will always be people who do not understand the beauty of life, do not respect themselves and therefore their fellow human beings, having their minds above their heads and not inside their heads... curiosity brings discovery, improvement, progress and pleasure in our life life is choices...you are great Alex and you are doing a very good job...RESPECT 💪

[@jpmfx]

I am glad you have spoken of those darkest times you went through over a year ago. Good for you! I'm sure it's carthartic. I'm proud of you.

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you! 😁

[@harryking3111]

Well said Alex, keep on keeping on.. If you want to ride, you go for it. 😉👌

[@canalscooterista]

People tend to compensate their own frustrations by saying mean things to others that are making their lives worth it. That’s a sign that what you’re doing is good. Keep it up!

[@Narcuti123]

Im sorry for what that man told u and made u feel... keep up the good work, keep up the good atitude, and try to ignore what other people say, sometimes its too loud, but we all wanna see you succeed... U make us proud!!

[@luiscarlosarias2126]

That frustration becomes envy

[@edwardadelin689]

Stay strong Alex. Da-i drumul la acceleratie si fa plimbari ori de cate ori ai nevoie. Daca am ocazia sa trec pe la Daytona, intreb de Alex de la piese doar ca sa iti dau o strangere de mana si o incurajare. Asfalt uscat (ca sa le placa si celor suparati pe tine)!

[@joshbro99k96]

The pain in your voice when you speak of your partner is very evident. Much love from England. Keep doing what you're doing. ❤

[@RideWithAlex]

Thank you! 😁

[@TheRealTragicallyInept]

💯 amigo. People who lack their own self awareness or confidence in their own skills, cannot imagine someone else who does. Please don't take those comments to heart. Especially in a public space like you tube, you will always find idiots who want to mind your business, judge you, and tell you what they think you should or shouldn't do. Best advice is to ignore them, they are craving attention.

[@tomchurch3699]

Keep strong Alex, negativity is all around, I draw great positivity from your strength and focus. Please keep doing what you are doing, the finest example of human strength. Condolences on the loss of your partner🙏🏻. I wish you well and look forward to more year round content.

[@RideWithAlex]

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon 😁

[@abbassikhalil6753]

Hello Alex, Sorry for your loss. Don’t worry about these comments it consumes your positivity. For me you are a motivation so keep on doing the good things 😊

[@ygeia_trws]

It's like our fathers or grandparents didn't use the horse or donkey during winter months... Riding feels more natural because it is! Accept risks and inconveniences and glory God for his blessings!

[@RideWithAlex]

I think men are forgetting how to be men and do dumb and immature shit that makes us happy =))

Great video Alex, I enjoy your content so much, it always makes me happy, keep them coming, Ed

Those on two feet it’s dangerous in the winter walking across the road life in general is dangerous but we wouldn’t do anything if we thought about the dangers of life we would stay home keep doing what you’re doing ALEX

[@pinkbreak]

I don’t know what to say but just ignore them brother I love you I don’t know you but you are very nice and a great person 😊they are many like this in our word they don’t like to see someone is strong 💪 I faced these sick people every time everywhere you are perfect brother. I loved your video very inspired me.thanks

[@markneville8069]

Alex I am sorry to hear your loss. You are an intelligent man and know your own mind. Im sure you won't let uninformed ignorant comments from gutless keyboard snipers affect you. Onward and upward my friend! Keep up the great vlogs and enjoy life! Cheers Mark

Please don't read too much into what fans/haters are saying in the comment section bra. Personally, I enjoy your content a lot and I want to see you ride and bond with Donny, but most importantly, I wanna see you enjoy yourself. Love and light to you Brother. - Fan from South Africa

[@GreenPasture1]

20 mins rant for someone who has a different opinion about riding season is a bit too much. Each to its own, don't accept anyone lecture you but don't play their song either. Thanks for your videos!

[@RideWithAlex]

Not necessarily for one person, it's something that's been bugging me for years. I constantly get remarks like this ever since I started riding. And riding in the winter is nothing new here, couriers ride all year long like it's nothing and surprisingly they are the least likely to crash if you go by actual statistics. Every spring the most crashes we see is from people that haven't ridden for 4-5 months the first time they get back in the bike they end up in a ditch 😂

[@GreenPasture1]

@@RideWithAlex I rode in inclement weather for 5 years, rain, storm or snow. Moved to a hot country for a much better weather (and life I might add) and now I'm back to Romania. Was a motorcyclist and became a scooterist by chance, had an Aprilia Scarabeo 500ie, I loved that bike but left it behind. Of course, smart arses will always try to teach you lessons, just ignore and keep ride Donny. Good job with your vids!

[@minimad8793]

Don't worry Alex, I went out on mine today and the weather was foggy, windy and proper cold but I still enjoyed it. tell him he is a fairy lol

[@gergobozsik1614]

Hello Alex! Unfortunately, it is inevitable that as the popularity of your channel increases, such reviews will appear in greater numbers. Don't worry about these comments, the most important thing for you is to enjoy your life, and enjoy your hobby. If it's riding a scooter, do that. After all, you produce the videos for us, you experience these filmed adventures. All the respect for your strength!

[@tackfarinaszeus57]

I like your philosophy.. Im 35 and people around me always tell me to buy a car.. But i really like my Cruisym

[@RideWithAlex]

Keep riding, I know someone here that is 78 years old and rides a Joymax250. He and his wife go on holidays through Europe on that 250 scooter. And every weekend they do day trips of 3-4-500km. Again, he is 78 years old, the man is a living inspiration.

[@keithparker2502]

Good on you alex enjoy your self life to short,❤

[@rustypotatos]

Thank you brother

[@alexandrosmp1]

hey Alex, I love your videos! if you really stop and think about it, writing a scooter or a motorcycle is more dangerous in the summer because of increased traffic, and a greater possibility of idiots that don’t care about motorcyclists being on the road. During winter people like the hibernate so there’s more room on the road. opinions are like rental openings, everyone has one. continue to ride safely disregarding pesimists such as the author of the comment you read. Be safe!

[@honkagt8778]

Hi, Alex. I also drive during the cold months😉, and this has its own risks. I broke the left mirror at the base. In Bucharest is there a way to find, be it new or second-hand? The model is the Sym Gt300i. I am from Bulgaria. Thanks in advance if you answer me. Greetings!!

[@RideWithAlex]

Give me some pics of your scooter and the mirror on Instagram and Monday when I'm at work I will try to help you.

[@jake88ci]

btw Sym 125/200cc scooters you ride hold up much better than hondas pcx 125/200.Japanese bikes have been cutting corners ever since the japanese financial collapse in 2008

[@RideWithAlex]

The main thing that pisses me off about the pcx that can't be denied is that considering how expensive it is for a 125 it still has only front ABS and a rear cable drum brake. I mean c'mon. I even talked to a Honda rep about it and he said the factory isn't changing it because the PCX still sells well. To my ears that's sounds like as long as the people are dumb enough to buy it they won't change it. That's just wrong in my book.

[@cdorob]

I just did an easy 650 km nice ride last Sathurday. I've cut it short because night comes early :)) I was aiming for 750

Congratulations! Trolls only target successful channels. Consider that comment a badge of success. The more successful you become, the more trolls you will attract. Keep up your great content. Everyone dies and pays taxes. Not everyone lives.

[@RideWithAlex]

Well said and thank you!

[@steve00alt70]

My google translate said from the first sentance "let's admit that I gave you 2 nails from the cold". People that put their bikes away for the winter get very jealous when they see people ride. I see it with all the full gear all the time too. Its all an individual risk we take. Everything you do is risky like walking, slipping and falling in your shower hitting your head or going on a plane. Nobody is completely safe. Does the reddit guy forget that Taiwan (the king capital of scooters) exist where their only mode of transport are 2 wheels?

[@RideWithAlex]

I forgot the "all the gear all the time" guys, I fully support riding gear, but leave me alone if I want to ride in a T-shirt 😂

Nu inteleg chestia asta cu nu e safe natural slob..z si multe puncte . De ai fii deranjat ca mergi cu scuterul iarna cand ar trebui sa multumesti pentru faptul ca acea experienta este si o lectie din care ai putea invata ceva in loc sa dar comentarii ipocrite . iti multumesc pentru clipuri si experienta pe care o impartasesti cu noi. Iti urez multa distractie nu conteaza cat de mare e zapada omul are obligatia de a se distra:) auzi tu nu e safe, dar sa faci cerculete in parcare la mall la prima zapada e safe? nope dar de ce e parcarea plina ? de fun bro si asta iti doresc sa ai fara incidente neplacute. Bafta !!!

[@catalin1859]

...no it's not dangerous, not in Germany at least, yeah of course you expose yourself to a different set of risks but it's not "dangerous" ... I think some people are just frustrated that because they are not comfortable in riding in winter and see someone else who is comfortable riding in the winter is somehow detrimental to their superiority... 😅

Very well said 👍

Salutare! Te-a suparat rau individul ala, nu-mi amintesc sa te fi "vazut" asa pornit niciodata, in niciun filmulet de aici. Traim vremuri stranii, din pacate prostia devine o virtute pentru multi. Cred ca cel mai intelept ar fi sa-i ignoram, asta ii doare cel mai mult.

[@RideWithAlex]

Nu e neaparat ca m-a suparat fix el dar atitudinea asta o vad de ani de zile, sa ne dam in cap unu altuia in loc sa ne sustinem sa evoluam si noi si poate mai scapam de masini masini masini ca altceva cel putin la noi in tara parca nu stim. Ma uit si un bucuresti 80% din masini doar cu o singura persoana ocupand o gramada de spatiu pe sosea si consumand o gramada de benzina fix degeaba. Este ineficient si stupid si in loc sa ne incurajam sa cautam solutii alternative gasim nod in papura de ce nu se poate si nu e bine si sa ramanem asa cum suntem si sa ne plangem in continuare ca prostii :))). Parerea mea e ca nu se vor schimba mentalitati decat daca arati prostia cu degetul chiar daca posibil unii sa se simta ofensati, aia e.

[@1zanglang]

​@@aurelianflorescu2623Nu. Comuniștii au încercat educația forțată și tot n-au reușit. Românul e dat dracului, e căpos, arogant, flecar, prost, disprețuitor și puturos. În cazul discutat, respectiva loază, e exemplificarea omului lui Creangă, ăla, cu posmagii. De ce să-și bată capul, să se ambiționeze să călărească motorul, iarna? E prea mult efort, prea mult de învățat și de antrenat, prea multă atenție necesară, prea multă bătaie de cap cu echipamentul de iarnă și în final, iarna, nu prea are ce golan, de teapa lui, să-l însoțească, oamenii stau cu ferestrele închise și nu-i mai deranjează așa tare zgomotul și detonațiile esapamentului (lipsa lui), iar fufele pe care ar vrea sa le impresioneze, stau la căldurică, prin baruri și sug cocktail-uri cu vodcă. Așa că mai bine zace și el în vreun cuib de schnaps și se leagă de alții, ca chiorul de gard, până se desprimăvăreaza, când iese, să facă tâmpenii pe drum. Alex zice bine. Dacă ripostezi și arăți cu degetul, prostia, poate că prostul, se va simți lovit în amorul propriu și poate s-o gândi să se mai deștepte. Dacă nu, cel puțin, poate o să ia apă-n gură și să se mai abțină de la astfel de comentarii și apostrofe, ca să nu se mai facă de căcat. Dacă vom continua să-i ignorăm pe tembeli, ei vor fi precum băutorii de Red Bull: "vor prinde aripi" și vor contamina și sufoca totul cu prostia lor.
