My 2024 Roundup

[@JohnOrr-wh6rt]

Loved every one I've watched. They mean so much to me as I've ridden so many of your routes in the past. It's great what you're doing. God bless you brother.😊

[@theNZbv]

Thanks mate.

[@rae1720]

Absolutely awesome videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures!! I'm sure I speak for all your fans...:) we are happy to share your adventures when ever or wherever you get too. You have earned a break! Happy New year 🎉

[@theNZbv]

Thank you. Happy New Year to you too.

[@stuartlewis3359]

Thanks for all your effort bringing these simple but enjoyable adventures to us. I've gained lots of ideas for trips of my own from the information you attach to your films. Well done Mr BV.

[@theNZbv]

Thank you.

[@Richlaw1-d6w]

Congrats for all your effort to make these videos... your hard work is appreciated by those of us who follow the roads you have mapped out... looking forward to seeing where the new year takes you on your travels. Thanks again... hope to meet you on the back roads one day soon. Regards Rich.

[@theNZbv]

Thanks Rich. I'm sure we'll bump into each other day.

[@johnturnbull8573]

You have the knack of making great videos, please keep up the travels.

[@theNZbv]

Thank you. There are still lot's of things I can improve on.

You have created an awesome playlist of motorcycle rides around NZ, including Google GPS maps so that others can do the same. Honestly, before I found this channel I thought the main rides were all along the well trodden holiday routes, and I was really envious of some of the motorcycle rides in other countries. Why couldn't we have rides like this in NZ? Wrong! I see a lot of rides overseas swamped with other riders and motorists, whereas in NZ there are heaps of rides through fantastic scenery where you are lucky to see anybody. If that is what you want (and I do) then we are blessed indeed. Your vids are also way ahead of any other channel I have found yet in NZ, especially in terms of focusing on the actual ride and what we can see when we get there, so thanks, and have a great new year (and please don't fall off again ;))

[@theNZbv]

Thank you so much. It took me a while to realise that these videos could be used as a reference for other riders. I was also surprised how many good roads there are in the North Island. So many people think all the scenery is in the south.

[@peterdawson7775]

Thanks for all the videos , they have been a pleasure to watch🎉, have a Happy new year.

[@theNZbv]

Cheers. Happy New Year to you as well.

[@chriskiwi2601]

Thanks Mr BV. I guess I'm one of the dozens who have subscribed in this last year or so. The really good thing is going to places via the back roads. See you 2025. Cheers from North Waikato. 👍

[@theNZbv]

Thank you for subscribing. I've travelled the main roads so often that I only want to find alternative routes now.

[@chriskiwi2601]

​@@theNZbvGood on you, keep them coming. Cheers.

[@rossburgess2978]

Thanks for all the entertaining videos, at my age I dont ride the gravel much so enjoy seeing those backwoods trips. Cheers Mate

[@theNZbv]

Thank you. I'm glad I can show you some different places.

[@Tiki63]

Thanks for the ride mate,cheers

[@theNZbv]

Thank you. There will be more next year.

[@kelvin7511]

Well done buddy. Keep it going 🙂

[@theNZbv]

Cheers mate.

[@itskevhere1954]

Hi again I watched this on new years eve, I also watched the Waihi Falls too, I grew up and lived in Waihi for many years so I was interested to see your ride to Waihi, then I realised the Waihi Falls you were heading for were in different part of the country, you got me there. Great to see your channel doing well and looking forward to seeing what you do in the new year, as alway I get inspired by your videos and I must admit feel a little envious at times ( not really but you know what mean), hopefully I can get out on the bikes a bit more this coming year, I find longer rides a bit harder now but still hoping to get a few more in this coming year God willing. Happy new year all the best for 2025 Regards Kev

[@theNZbv]

Thanks, Kev. I could imagine the confusion with Waihi Falls. The road signs wouldn't make any sense. ;) One thing I've learned this year is that there are always some nice short rides in this country.

[@grahammacdonald6789]

thanks for a great year of marvelous experiences.I look forward to you doing it again in 2025.I'd love to see you do a south island trip.I've done several but it will be great to see your video's

[@theNZbv]

I don't think I'll have the time or money for a full South Island tour. I'll probably just focus on a small area.

[@WaynesOutdoors]

Thank you very much for your effort.....Well done 40k !

[@theNZbv]

I will have worn the bike out before I finish paying for it. ;)

[@rogerwileman9965]

A lot of people like to see the country especially chaps like me tighter to a bed so I hope you can continue. GOOD LUCK for 25

[@theNZbv]

Thanks. I will definitely continue. But probably only do 30 or 40 videos in the year. Have a good 25 too.

[@williamhemi6430]

Thanks for sharing your trips, I've just completed Whangamomona to Mt messenger then up the coast to Port Waikato thanks to one of your recent trips. Plan to do more of them cheers.

[@theNZbv]

That's a good ride. I hope you had some nice weather for the ride.

[@WaynesOutdoors]

That doesn't happen often 👍

[@theNZbv]

and 2024 doesn't happen often. It's only happened once in my lifetime. ;)

[@adriannicholson8819]

all good bro you can set up a fund and do patreon to help out with the cost as I love the vids and for some resin you are the first one to see when you post I made it to Oamaru and blow my van up on the way home but got to see some seal's and lots of road lice Love you bro stay safe SHIFT

[@theNZbv]

Man, that's bad news on the van. I guess there's more tourists than locals down there at this time of year. I did think about Patreon a while ago. I always feel a bit guilty about taking money. I feel like I have a "responsibility" to make videos if people are paying. Maybe I just need to suck-it-up and take it more seriously.

[@mikeyfrompiha]

40k in a year! Well done! Time for a channel name change? Cant be the biker virgin anymore? Maybe a bike review video next? Cheers all the best for '25!

[@theNZbv]

Thanks. Happy New Year to you to. I keep thinking about a name change. I'll need to read up on how to do that. I don't want to have to start from scratch.

[@bking1369]

BV if I hit the thanks button does that $ go to u or does utube take a cut

[@theNZbv]

I'm pretty sure KZbin takes 30% the moment you even think about clicking the button.

[@bking1369]

​@@theNZbv If u set something up me an my brother will pitch in, small price to pay for yr effort..all the best
