Meet The Vlogger: Bruce Smart aka "Teapot One"

[@johnwust9230]

Two very likeable chaps providing great entertainment most of which is better than the rubbish on TV. I hope guys will keep on keeping us entertained and informed. Thanks guy's 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

If you keep watching, we'll keep making videos! (I think I can speak for Bruce on this one as well as myself....!)

[@noelsatterley2996]

Agreed. Packed in watching TV years ago.

[@murraybown2502]

John Wust, if you ever spend a few minutes socially with the TCMF all you’ll find he just is a self centred ego maniac. In conversation it’s just me me me me me, no interest in what other people have to say.

[@booshallmighty]

Wow. Missed this. Good to see you two together. I don't go on Facebook so without KZbin I'd never know he existed Great job

[@jalex19100]

Wow, you two are easy to listen to. Good questions and flow - super natural and sincere. Thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Jason....

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I followed the heart and became a train driver (childhood dream)...I'm one of the most happy contented people I know....

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Brilliant! - You did the right thing....

[@davem3008]

Haha, this is one of the first vids I watched when I got back into bikes! Blast from the past, and it's great that you're both still smashing it! Cheers 🍻

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cool!

[@jag1970s]

Just want to say thanks to you both. I enjoy both of your vlogs - spent hours watching you both over the last year... hello and thanks from me and my Yamaha xv950r. Well done to you both. J

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you....

[@PeterHardySWMF]

Never get tired of listening to these guys.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Peter - that's very kind of you!

[@IvanOn2Wheels]

These youtube algorithms just suggested me this video 4 years later :)Really really enjoyed that, subscriber to both of you for a long time now and enjoy every video from Bruce and You, but to watch you both on the same screen was amazing, 13 min went like a second. Thank you both for the valuable advises. Safe rides

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow that was a while ago!! Gotta love KZbin! (I’m gonna watch it now…)

[@jamesroberts1944]

Well done TMF. And well done Bruce. You two are polar opposites on camera, Bruce the calm and patient one who makes his points well and sincerely and TMF constantly keeping things moving and showing high enthusiasm. Bruce like a well aged single Malt and TMF like a double espresso. Great viewing. Thank you both.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Crikey I never thought of us like that! Did you see my interviews with Ben King? If I’m a double espresso wonder what that makes him?

[@jamesroberts1944]

TheMissendenFlyer Ben is on a different planet. He is so focussed and excited by life he can lift the mood of the most miserable person in seconds. I can only watch a few minutes at a time as for me, he is like a migraine in human form. Still love his adventures but my god his energy is tiring.

[@BIG-K]

@@jamesroberts1944 "... like a migraine in human form..." Classic! 😄

[@SEANRSDUFF]

Very well said James. I agree 100%. Both very good at what they do, teapot more natural. Tmf feels a bit more scripted. Though like both channels

[@MotoMichelle]

😃 Yes agree

[@motodevcam]

Just started following Bruce, and slowly getting through his round the world trip! Great vid. Many thanks!

[@bobvandick2546]

Many thanks for introducing Teapot One. I will enjoy watching his channel.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No worries....

[@tonyatkin7875]

Watch both of you guys. You have both been so inspirational as a new rider. Cheers 🍻

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Tony!

[@crazysoxcourier]

i'm sure about 10 years ago Bruce pulled me over on my pedal bike in central london! i was working as a courier at the time and aparently i'd jumped the last 3 red lights! lol i said i didn't notice the lights as i was watching the traffic and pedestrians! got slapped with a £30 ticket! i now have a proper bike with an engine and i don't jump lights anymore! no hard feelings Bruce hehehehe!

[@thewatsongallery2749]

Thanks for the interview with 'Teapot One'. Another great motovlogger to add to the top of my list where you reside. I like the sentiment you shared with 'Teapot'; Be yourself.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

The good news is of course that shouldn’t be difficult to do should it!

[@waynecompton7612]

Good afternoon TMF , Thank you for the video and a chat with TEAPOT (Bruce)what a nice genuine chap!!! A bit like yourself. Take care 😎👍🇬🇧.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Wayne - I could never be as nice as Bruce.....

[@JLOSTAFF1]

What a pleasure to watch, and listen to, two top blokes!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Aww you’re making me blush ☺️

[@cmmgray]

I never did the round the world on a bike, but I backpacked around the world for 16 months, and I can completely agree on the blues when I came home. I was depressed and wanted to go again. Love your channels guys

[@carlton683]

Two fab guys what a credit to our nation many thanks Tony

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're making me blush now!

[@georgehatcher8867]

That vid epitomises the motorcycle fraternity, well done boys. Met and rode with Bruce for a short while last year on his Lands End and back in a day trip, really nice bloke and a very competent motorcyclist. Funny in his prebeard days he could pass as your big brother.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...and he's considerably younger than me! (but certainly bigger!!!!!)

[@daveplumb6201]

Hey TMF great interview and what a lovely bloke Bruce is keep up the good work because for me it sure beats watching the TV 👍

[@markgatward8765]

Glad you guys have all come together to ride and meet, maybe you all guys can interact more from now on. Love the work that You ALL do ! Thanks.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

We’re now best of buddies - I’m sure there’ll be more to come....

[@6jayf]

Can’t believe I’ve only just come across your channels, tops fellas both with great content 👍🏼

[@DazmatronMotorcycleTrips]

Just watched this as I've just come back from 'Toro Adventure' riding on/off road around the Spanish mountains like you guys. Great vid nearly 3 years ago now! I've just started watching both of you're channels and you are both a credit to the industry & Niche market to all things bike! I agree, so down to earth which makes your content sustainable & I'm sure you will both become the 'go to guys' to tell us about new products or other stuff associated with making life easier for us bikers or merely for entertainment. I just started a channel too, just learning at the minute but the place where you are when recording this vid gave me some great footage. Keep up the good work guys! Top Chaps!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Daz! Good luck with your channel….

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

I think being genuine and have a real love for what you’re doing that will shine through

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Agreed!

[@takenbistorm1]

I enjoyed that video , Bruce is such an inspiration to so many people, after watching his round the world trip I was certainly motivated to live my life , I was also lucky enough to do a little road ride with Bruce which was amazing , although I had a bit of bother keeping up , I had not long passed my test tho , moffat to balloch , loved it

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah he doesn't hang around....

[@paulwil19]

13 minutes of joy thanks both really good chat.

[@louscannon6265]

This is great, seeing two favourite channles combined.

[@thebingleywheeler]

Fantastic watch....great to see a fellow cop with such a drive for life and living....on those occasional days when getting your arse in gear is a struggle this video is the perfect tonic!

[@Tolandur]

Massive Thumbs up :-) Bruce is the one that inspired me to finaly do my motorcycle lisence after way to many years of "i'll do it next year....."

[@paulstredwick]

I've said it before .... love this bike vlogger community thing you've got going. Adds a great new dimension to all your channels.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Good - I think it's an advantage You Tube has over TV, a much closer connection with the viewer....feels more like radio (if that makes sense)??

[@BikerSatoshi]

Enjoyed that vid! Both nice blokes. Must watch the teapotone around the world ones...

[@CampbellZeroOne]

Lovely man Bruce. Only came across his channel last year when I was looking into doing the NC500 in a day. He was kind enough to reply to my questions and give me some positive feedback when I said that it was small time compared to his trips.

[@martinfrost3596]

Great interview/chat. Have watched Teapot one's round the world trip. Awesome! Enjoyed this vlog so much, think I'll watch it again :-)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Martin - I could do with all the views I can get!

[@teneretraveller8980]

Very candid and very open. And therefore very watchable. Excellent.

[@robertjameslong8218]

Hi TMF, greetings from sunny Thailand. What a superb video, your interviewing technique puts "professional" presenters to shame. You are a natural at this mate, I really enjoy all your videos, keep up the good work.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That's very kind of you Robert....

[@nicholasknibbs8162]

Two entertaining blokes, very good. You could be on TV.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you....

[@nicholasknibbs8162]

@@TheMissendenFlyer no probs. I was thinking of 2 blokes with similar hair and one beard. Coming from me with similar hair and a beard! Keep 'em coming.

[@raycollington4310]

Reminds of the Tommy Cooper joke about the bloke who went for a job, interviewer asks: can you make tea?, "yes i can". Question 2, can you drive a forklift truck? "why how big is your teapot" I think you might have just interviewed Shrek!

[@paulwood7798]

Can't wait to see you guys at The Wildbad weekender 19. Lets pray for some co-operative weather.

[@David-xg6ws]

Live your life! Gentlemen, Dave here in Ohio, USA. A few months ago as my job ended I found myself spending a lot of time watching motorcycle related videos. I'm a rider and have had quite a few bikes and just love this passtime. I came across you two and you are still my favorites. Seems like now all the best are in the UK...have found and like Lamb Chops, 44Teeth guys are hilarious, Richy Vida....anyway. Thanks so much for what you do and who you are. Good people and I know are appreciated by many!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you DS67!

[@marcfalardeau6058]

Hi you guys, nice to see you together! Very interesting! Cheers, Marc, Quebec 😉🏍🇨🇦

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mojosdad68]

Just excellent. I’ll be checking out teapot’s Chanel. Thanks for posting TMF

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You’re very welcome!

[@dsimon9s29]

Thank you for posting. Great interview.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you liked it.....

[@bunnydaduk]

Excellent I started watching Richy first then latched onto you a couple of years ago, been watching teapot for about a year and still working my way though his back catalogue as I went back to the start of his stuff. I've started watching Mr Chops after seeing him with Richy. Its like the bringing together of superheros. Cant wait to watch everybodys stuff because you all put your own spin on it ! well done

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Superheros! Crikey.....we're just four blokes who like bikes!!

[@bunnydaduk]

Yes but you can fly through the air ! joking aside my favourite people to watch so to see you together is good ! don't underestimate the smiles on the faces of so many people watching this because we all watch you, Richy Teapot and Lamb Chops and think how each other would interact with each other because your all so different but you all entertain us in the same way thanks again

[@ianlawrie919]

Don't know what's wrong with the lap top, logged on to TMF, got ZZ Top.

[@beans4491]

Hi TMF, hope you’re well. Ok this is a vid that I’ve been looking forward to happening for a long time, many of us follow you guys and soak up advice from you that is well sought after. Bruce, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting you a couple of times and I always look for another chance to catch you. I wish you both all the luck and success you deserve. Great video. As always...kind regards Oh ....can you get Mr Vida next.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Mr Vida is the one after next ;0) Good to hear from you as ever....

[@ShiteLines]

I've been vlogging for close to 10 years, I've got fed up of it time and time again but at the same time I miss it and can't wait till the sun shows its face a bit more here in Scotland to get back out and enjoy the GS. I really enjoyed that video. Take it easy on the roads out there. You both seem genuinely nice chaps and I wish to hell they'd start recognising this content a bit more. If there was episodes of this on the Tele every night, I'm fairly certain I'd be watching it. Ride safe

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That’s very kind of you thank you!

[@leanatale7251]

I haven't turned my TV on in 6 months. Find you guys far more entertaining, than all the the trash they put out, cheers!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

That's lovely to hear - thank you!

[@jonno94]

#me too 👍

[@kevinperree7764]

Ditto!

[@wanderdowndave3778]

Two nice guys having a great chat. enjoyed. Thank you both for grand rides, reviews and vids

[@handsfree1000]

TMF, Teapot-one, Delboys garage. Have been great to watch and useful advise to boot.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Sounds like you're a viewer of great taste Peter!

[@stevenhill6214]

Really enjoyed that. Bruce seems like a thoroughly nice, down to earth bloke (Excellent beard Bruce!). More soon?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Oh yes....

[@fenner-g6088]

Love a bit of Teapot, lovely fella, keep up the "diversity" of content, your doing it better than most at the minute !

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're too kind sir!

[@harrypalmer7169]

Excellent video TMF. Tea Pot around the world tour is a must watch. A big thanks to the both of you for hours of entertainment.

[@PBRStreetGang68]

What a lovely couple of fellas 👍

[@BorisKarloff66]

Brilliant interview with Teapot one keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the rest of your interviews from this trip

[@andrewknight9080]

Another great Vlog. Being of a similar age and only now realising it myself, I can wholeheartedly agree with Bruce’s simple advice. Don’t waste your time chasing a bigger salary or trying to get the latest must have. Live your life now.! That means doing what makes you happy. You don’t have to go around the world or on some great adventure. It can be something as simple as going to the football with the kids. The point is make time do what makes YOU happy! Keep up the good work lads. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...as I said in the video, you're leaning on an open door here....

[@2wheelsrbest327]

So right Andrew. I retired earlier than one of my work mates and I had always regretted unlike him not paying more into my pension fund. I had been retired eight years before he retired. When he did he spent some time in Australia New Zealand visiting relatives brought himself a Porsche Boxster and you know what I am about to say and within a year of retirement got Cancer a year later we buried him. As Bruce says Live your life because before you know it your gone.

[@dazadorph45]

I follow you both after being recommended by you tube after watching Captain Rambunctious, Road Nottingham, so glad that I follow you both. Great reviews of products and bikes as well as fantastic rides that I would like to do one day.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

A man of great taste I see....

[@gilbyseventy5]

Great vid TMF. I think we can agree that we could all do with a Bruce in our lives. A true gentleman.

[@BIG-K]

That was interesting and enjoyable. After watching that I think I'll check out Bruce's channel. For me it's as much about the presenter as it is about the content, and his character and demeanour just make me want to see what he gets up to. Thanks, guys. 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well I'm a fan - and that's why I recommend TeapotOne to you!

[@joerouleau7584]

Great video and loved the info. You both are always welcome in Vegas. Look me up when you get the chance to come over.

[@pyrodoll2422]

Loved this expo, Mr T is on my hit list and I can't wait to check out his chanel. TMF I'm already a huge if recent fan.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Welcome to the channel!

[@spetersonmusic]

Two guys I admire and enjoy watching/listening to. Good fun!

[@Flip01]

Bruce is a true inspiration to live your life. Thanks Bruce. 👍

[@gym_witchmoto3963]

Love Teapot One 😊 Andy man cam and lamb chops !!! Great guys and great fun to watch. Ditched the t.v. now and if you havent seen her Itchy Boots is amazing too. 💕💕💕

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Did you see my interview with her? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXPTiGprf7N7haM

[@BlackThor15]

Thank you guys, you`re both AMAZING and truly inspiring for all those who want to either get involved in motorcycling trips or comeback to motorcycling after a long interval due to personal commitments, like me. Your channel and many others are the main reason we keep our dreams alive and learn every day through them and eventually put all to practice when we get back on the road one day. Please keep it up!!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Nelio!

[@Roger_White]

Brilliant insight well done TMF and TeaPotOne.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Roger....

[@earlebacciochi9796]

Great chat ! Engaging characters from different walks of life bonding over a common love! That's what life's about guys ! 👍👍👍

[@martybartfast]

Well blow me down... A couple of years ago I rode down Bald Knob Road because it is a sort of short-cut to where I was going on my ride. The world is indeed a little smaller now. 😀 🏍

[@PeterThompsonpeteunitplan]

Inspirational and informative stuff chaps. Thank you.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@derekholme6922]

great to see you both on the Tube, well done and all the best.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thanks Derek....

[@MotoVibes]

what a pleasant inverview - I did not know TP1 yet but I will head over to his channel and check his stuff out now. I find it really interresting that someone with that many subscribers and experience on this platform is still having a "schoold day" everytime he uploads- not sure if that makes me feel good or bad - that is how I feel but I have only been uploading content since last August ;-) Post production time for me 8-12 hours for a 4-6 min video that is after I have found the right music. Great interview - thank you for sharing!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

We’re always learning!

[@thelikeablerider8800]

Had the pleasure of meeting the man last year, and even got to ride with him for a few days. There is a vid....wink wink. Great interview TMF👍😜

[@lpete531]

Great job TMF 👍🏽 Teapot is a awesome dude, thank him for his insight. Until next time, this is me, from San Antonio, TX 😂😂👍🏽

[@SzFJ]

Talks like an Old Bill! Great video's and to learn more about the Vlog family.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrJackk10]

Bruce is right about the coming home part. It's the same as coming back from travelling man, you need good people around you and something to get stuck into, is my advice, take your mind of the fact you've been on top of the world, only to come crashing back down again. It takes time to readjust. Great video 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes an interesting problem that isn't it...as Bruce said, often overlooked I think...

[@ThumperXT]

I get the post trip blues after every bike ride!!!

[@ashworthautomotiveltd2245]

That was really good. Been watching TMF for quite a while now. Only found Teapot one a few weeks back when I found his video of him going round the UK on a GS. Sadly the battery was knackered and it broke down. I then started watching his round the world trip. I'm on episode 14 now I think. What a top bloke. Well keep up the good work guys. Your both better than TV.

[@michaelneve3223]

Really enjoyed that - you both have inspired me to ride more, and to plan for more time on the bike especially Europe. As a returning biker who is gaining experience your channels are invaluable - thanks!

[@Jagshemasher]

These days I find myself watching KZbin videos far more than TV. It is simply because you can find subject matter on subjects that interest you and also people making the videos are real/themselves. . . . its the lack of Hollywood fakery that is refreshing.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're leaning on an open door here - I'm the same....

[@bradymac7516]

Great interview TMF! been following all of you guys on your Toro tour. I'm so jelly you have that (Spain etc.) in your backyard...I'm stuck in Canada Freezing right now living vicariously thru you guys until spring.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you Matt - glad you liked it!
