When will people realise that people hate being bullied into purchasing something especially a bike. Your decision to leave that is admirable and you are clearly better than that. I always walk away when hard sales is applied and never go back, why don’t companies see that !

I know that salesman view. I've been asked several times why I don't work as a motorcycle salesman. (and I've been offered jobs as a salesman in other branches) But it all comes down to honesty. I can't sell a bike I know it's not for him or her. I can't make a sales speach about a product I don't use my self. Imagin selling Yamaha and the customer asks "What bike do you own?" and I have to say "KTM!" It just doesn't add up! You're doing a great job. And I recommended your channel to my daughter-in-law. She's a newbie on a KTM 390 Duke. My son rides a 690 Duke, like myself. 🙂 (mine in white!) Take care Kate!

Kate, I have spoken to you several times over the last 2 years about my come back to biking as a 65 year old male who has been absent from motor biking for 10 years due to chronic ill health. Your advice guidance and compassion for me the "person" not the profit, was and is outstanding. You gave me good meaningful advice that I could take away and consider, you never ever spoke to me in a way that was derogatory to the company you worked for, all I can say is a particular dealership have my business not because you pressured me into buying from you but because you respected me, the person buying. I have no doubt you will a success in all that you do, and to me selfishly the bikers world , if ever you start up your own training school for rusty bikers let me know. x

You hit the nail on the head with the sales thing. There many schools of thought on the subject but I have to say your approach is correct for bikes. Same ethics apply to people management. You can force people to perform or you can let them perform. 2 ways to get a result and the bean counters need to have think about it. It applies to all skill sets and industries. I've seen all sides in my 57 years. I've been self employed most of my working life in the motor trade and now in the aerospace game. I know my way works and the other way just results in high staff turnover and pissed of customers.

I was in corporate sales for a large fortune 50 company for 35 years and ended my career when the company told me I would lose 30% of my pension if I opted to stay……….17,000 employees overall were advised of the same thing. When I started with the company my customers became my friends and it was so much fun. Do what you love in life and travel and enjoy other people stories and experiences. Originally from Manchester/ Liverpool and now living in Scottsdale, AZ ..life is good. The one thing I miss are the people and the dry sarcasm of my local neighborhood. Love Kate’s YT……….and will make it a practice to watch the ads. CONGRATS on you one year anniversary .I’m now heading out to Payson AZ on my R1200RT……ride safe 👍👍

Hi Kate, I have recently got back on two wheels after a few years without, 8 to be more precise. I have found You Tube to be a great way to research both bikes and riding gear. Whist doing my research, I came across your channel as well as The Missenden Flyer and a few others. I have really enjoyed your content and your very personable presentation. You have asked about if there is anything that we would like to see and bikes that could be reviewed. I think it would be good to see some more second hand bikes as most people returning to riding will probably not go out and buy a new bike straight away. After doing a reasonable amount of research and test rides, I bought a BMW F800GT. This is the bike that I felt best met my brief and requirements. I have found the process very enjoyable but my own personal journey has highlighted a lot of considerations that should be thought about. Whilst there are reviews on older bikes, a lot of them were made when the bike were new and not done from the point of a second hand purchase and other bikes in a similar category that may offer different benefits. Anyway, keep up the good work and let me know what you think. Simon, Hastings, East Sussex.

Kate, I for one, am very glad you took the brave decision to become a full-time motorcycle vlogger. Your comments about being self-employed with the income and spending aspects are 100% correct. Apart from a few years being a spare parts interpreter at a farm machinery dealership to bring in extra income at a time I really needed it, (and still work the 1270 acre farm in partnership with my brother) I was for 45 years, a self-employed farmer so in a similar way I know how it can be. IMHO you are very fair-minded, honest and down-to-earth in all your vlogs. Having seen vlogs featuring your dad and sister and being a Dad and Grandfather myself I reckon your family are very proud of you too. All my very best wishes to you Kate for a successful vlogging career.

Hello Kate! You are one of the reasons I am going to vlog my trip around the U.S. on my BMW R1250GS! All the money I raise through donations and from my KZbin channel will go to Veterans, Police, and Firefighters that may need a hand. You are so right about the struggle of doing it at first. I am still a bit stressed and nervous about getting enough donations to get the ride going AND have money to give to those deserving of it. I am working my tail off trying to get sponsors, and or, kit suppliers. I take motivation from you and how you have successfully navigated this space to success!! I may be 66 years old, but, doing this is a good mission for me and also keeps me young! Keep inspiring us to get out and ride Kate. Thanks, Cheers

First off, congratulations on your first year of full time KZbining. Got to admire your commitment and self motivation, doing this full time. I sometimes find it difficult, to not just film (especially in winter), but find interesting content, for my (small) channel, and I do this for a hobby!! not for a living, so fair play to you Kate. Keep it up, you're doing really well. Best of luck in 2023 and beyond. Grumps.

Love your vid`s Kate, Just keep doing what you have been doing. Bike test`s, first impressions and touring. But also your hotel trips with Hanna, they are great! Money is not that interesting. As long as you have what you need. Keep up the great work!

Fully understand your frustration with corporate issues. They don't want passionate knowledgeable people (although the customers do), they want budding alan sugars apprentices. Good on you for escaping! 👍

100% agree with what you say about selling bikes, most people I know, know what they want when they buy a bike because it's an enthusiasts mode of transport. Any pushy car style selling is a major turn off for me when I buy a bike, if that's the impression I get I walk and go elsewhere.

hello good evening Kate 😴 it's okay I've been a boss all my life I had 17 trucks but the clothing transport has already passed and that's over because the clothing factory workshop closed I hope you're good at it like Noraly and others best regards 👏🎉

Very interesting. Yes we are curious about the reality of running a channel. What would worry me most is the fragility of the platform, KZbin could pull the plug on you and that would be it. Well done anyway Kate

Your channel is refreshing in its modesty and honesty. Congrats on the first year. I was self employed for a few years, and for those who haven’t done it, it’s harder than you think but comes with certain benefits. I for one would be interested in earnings, but also appreciate it may be something you’d not necessarily want to publish. Keep up the good work Kate 👍🏻 PS can you confirm that if we let an advert run it’s full duration, it’s of benefit to you? If so I’ll let it run instead of skipping.
