Agreed , some of the videos have too many different topics , break it up to smaller vids 😂😂

[@ErikRamBull]

Burch, it’s because of you that I started riding. I started watching your Honda Navi videos and loved when you had your girlfriend on the channel teaching her how to ride. You got me interested in motorcycling and help me gain the confidence to actually do it. I can’t thank you enough for what you do!

[@smrtazz101]

Burch installs and reviews and Burch trips..sounds like a good plan bro. Im gonna be honest, the review ones are/were instrumental to projects i have done to my bike. And really the trip ones were cool because getting to see life beyond installing videos, life behind the scenes of sorts. Also..sorry you had to go to Jersey bro😂😂😂😂

Well, this is called Lifeofburch, I see your point about the way KZbin does things, but I enjoy them all. Life is a mix of ups and downs. The relationship you and Nina have is special, I find it enjoyable to see the two of you together. You could always do some comparisons of Honda models past and present or discuss the Shadow Line. Do more dealer test rides and dealer locations. With your riding experience you could very well do a great job on reviewing all types and brands.

[@danheitzenrater1744]

I bought my first bike “ a Navi” found you and ended up subbing. I say you need to do you this is what got you here. People come on to learn and see the different things that you do, even when you’re riding and ranting or sharing or cool places to see or ride.

[@chewbacky]

I found you through a review but have stayed for the vlogs. When it is rainy or late and I can't go out for a ride, I can ride along with one of your videos. And I've gotten lots of ideas from your videos as well which makes riding even more fun - because part of the fun of owning a bike is accessorizing it with stuff! Thanks for the great content!

I liked the free form style of this one.

Soooo freaking excited for you bro!!! It’s exciting watching how excited you are about your dream Honda. Like you my dream car isn’t a new one it’s a 2000 Honda Civic Si. Whatever your channel covers I’m with you bro. You’re worth the watch!

[@DonovanLeach]

Excited for the Honda Element videos, love those things, I've always wanted one. Also looking forward to future moto trip videos!

I came across your channel from the Navi videos when I got mine. Then I got a grom, and watched those videos. Then I got a scrambler and watched those. At this point I watch all of your videos. Keep it up man

That little downtown is so cuuute! I know we talked about my husband and I coming out to visit but let's do it for real in 2025. This year has been crazy for me as well 😲 I feel like the algorithms low key hate motorcycle lifestyle content. I'm a bit bored of things tanking and I feel like I straight up can't keep up with what KZbin wants to promote. The stuff I want to make is a bit cursed, and at this point I have to prioritize simple for 80% of what I make.

[@Itzsmokettv]

I found your channel when I was looking into getting a Navi and I will say after watching your videos and seeing the mods you’ve done to it I fell in love with the channel and bought a Navi. I love all your videos no matter what you post

[@CrepusBlue]

Hey Burch. It was cool to hear all the cool trios you've been doing. I think whatever you think works out best you should do, whatever type of content you do. The greatest part of this channel is that its all you saying whatever you feel like so as long as it keeps the personality it'll be great. Also I would personally love to see the long term Navi review necause I've been looking at those P.s sorry this is so long lol

[@Noblerr_gaming]

So for me, I just started watching like a month ago and what lured me in was your review videos because I want to get a bike and was trying to figure out what I want ( going to get a rebel 1100) but when viewing your review videos I noticed a few of your other videos and those are what really locked me in to watching you and ended up getting me to subscribe. Love watching your videos now and through you started watching and liking Nina's videos too. I think you need a mix of both for the channel to thrive. Whatever you do just keep up the videos, you're doing great! Hope to see you out on the roads brother!

[@marthaburcham3509]

I had to rewatch the beginning of the video because I was having flashbacks. I used to love going there back when I lived just off of route 50. I don’t know if you ever tried the crepe spot, but it is delicious. On topic, enjoy your life dude. That’s one thing that will help you enjoy making content. Keeping some parts of your life for yourself and your family like you said of making content on a family vacation. I was worried it was all gonna be news of a tough time, but it was you taking the time you need.

[@TheDualCruiser]

Being a youtuber can get exhausting but the reason I like your videos is because of how chill they always are. As far as the new 1100 I have always preferred the 1100t's since they are basically baggers lol. I look forward to seeing what you do! Keep it up and I hope you both are doing well.

[@bobdankiewicz9939]

Last month my wife an I flew to Italy, spent 12 days there and flew back. We live in California, so that's a 9 hour difference. I feel your jet-lag pain! If you do decide to split your channel between rides and mods/reviews I'll follow them both, as I enjoy your style of presentation. It's because of channels like yours that I finally took the safety class and got my M1 endorsement on my license. I really like your content, and if you do decide to split your channel I'll follow the second (and third?) as well. Keep up the great work!

[@LifeOfBurch]

Thanks so much!! I appreciate the input and support! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@EpuoHg]

One of the reasons i watch and respect your content (again one of many) is exactly that - you buying your own stuff, and talking positives / negatives, unhindered just because the OEM lending you the bike we're interesting to see your take and oppinion on. I think this makes your stuff much more organic and honest, to us (especially like if for me a new bike purchase is on the horizon, coming next spring). Cheers.

[@RoadReality]

Glad to see you back! I totally get the splitting out of channels. I created a 2nd channel earlier this year... the biggest hit is that while Road Reality is monetized, the new one isn't... although it's getting close to that. It just takes time. Your channel is still growing, I'd say it's still motorcycle- or vehicle-centric, so just keep mixing it in. Also, congrats on the Element! That car has a huge and loyal following!

[@blahber222]

so i found your channel searching reviews for the navi..went out n got one not too soon later. i also learned a lot of your upgrade videos when i got my 300. ya got me here for that specific content but i generally like your vibe and the way ya edit. i think a travel vlog would be cool too. i would follow that channel also but i agree splitting it up would prob be best for you and sponorship deals in the future.

[@MeghanStark]

Wait you're blowing my mind with the Honda Element, I hadn't heard of that car (my brain has been tunnel vision on Dodge Challengers for like a decade). I feel like I could totally use that for pop-up events and turn it into a mobile shop. I've always wanted to make an "armored truck" (but it's for selling my moto armor lol)

[@LifeOfBurch]

An Element would be perfect for that! And I LOVE the “armored truck” concept 😂 Do some research on Elements, but good luck getting out of the rabbit hole lol they have a cult following and people turn them into campers and all sorts of stuff! They’re seriously the coolest cars ever.

The unfortunate problem is that people are watching other social media reels and videos. A lot of my favorite vloggers either have gone offline or moved to doing videos on other social media and I only have a few favorites left here, you being one of them who are still sticking with it. However, a few have started posting stuff pointing out their You Tube channel showing a complete video. Keep it up because your fans are still sticking around. I hope you continue here and I look forward to seeing more. I don't know why I haven't gotten notifications from your channel but I guess it's your absence or the algorithm but I have been searching for my favorites and I have found you. I'll check up on you from now on.

I got a Honda Navi in March 2023 n was my 1st bike so that’s how I found you. Im interested in the Rebel and the E clutch bikes too. The rides b stuff are just cool motorcycle content to watch.

I think we get impatient with wanting things bigger n better but I think your content is relatable cuz u strugglin like the rest of us lol(no disrespect in any way).

The things you really want, don’t come easy in life. You’re doing great!👍🏽

Glad to see another video from you; always a great watch. How do you go about your mic not picking up your breathing? I have a movo mic and the quality is amazing but it always picks up my asthmatic breathing. I posted my first motovlog and I got a lot of great feedback but the breathing really stuck out and I’ve been trying different things to remedy it but so far nothings working as well as I would hope it would and it’s getting in the way of me uploading. I’d really appreciate your response and I hope you have a great rest of your week.

[@LifeOfBurch]

Unfortunately, any mic is gonna pick up your breathing and there’s not much you can do about it 😔 I edit out most of my breaths, and honestly kinda change my breathing patterns while filming with that in mind. It’s hard to explain, but like if I know I have a long sentence coming up, I’ll take a bigger than usual breath beforehand to cut down on any unnecessary breathing going on mid-explanation. I have a real ick for mouth sounds in real life, so I do everything I can to mitigate that in my videos lol sounds crazy saying it out loud, but yea…over time I’ve just kinda trained myself to breath different when I’m filming. Also worth mentioning- your videos are SUPPOSED to suck at first. Just keep posting, and find something to improve with each video! I shudder at the thought of watching the first few YEARS of my videos 😅😂

[@NobleV500]

[@newbierides]

Hey man, ive been looking into this bike, I have a couple of questions for you. Basically watched every video you posted on it and other videos on your channel. I test rode a 2024 model and super weird almost every time I changed from 1st to second gear I would find neutral. Sometimes even while in neutral I had a hard time getting the bike to click to second gear. have you ever ran into that issue with your bike? If you did, what was the fix? I had the same issue on both bikes I tested. (Also tested a 2022 used) The used bike I rode had mini apes installed, that thing vibrated like crazy when going over any little bumps , is that the same with your bike? I saw your video about the power commander to help with slow speed throttle jerkiness, you mentioned it helps, but in a percentage how much did it really reduce the jerkiness? The bike felt really jerky at slow speed because of the strong engine braking and on and off throttle.

(BTW many folks on youtube have made some awesome campers out of them too)

Yea it was quite a doozy finding the right Element because they have such a cult following! They’re all either beat to crap and still expecting to get $4k+, or they’re pristine, but thinking they can get $15k+. This one fortunately falls right in the middle.

@@LifeOfBurch Just a heads up though, I got here because I was looking for reviews of the Rebel1100 back in 2021, but I stuck around because of the motovlogs. I love trip content and I don't mind wrench vids or reviews. Its what got me watching Her two wheels and Blockhead. Everyone just seemed chill. Its why I completely stopped watching Yammienoob because constant list content eats your brain (also he's kinda a dick). I have also found that youtube doesn't push motovlog content to me, its always reviews. I have to search for the stuff and it always sends me to places like Freddie Dobbs where its a mix of review and vlog. That algorithm is a monster.

Camping video's? I've been searching for camping videos... in particular MotoCamping videos. Dork in the road has dozens if not hundreds, link up with him and go camping! there may be tens of thousands of his viewers (like me) who would also watch you embark on a trial-and-error journey of Motocmping... the same journey I am embarking on right now (as summer is fast approaching in the southern hemisphere) trying to figure out what to get, what to take, and what is a waste of time trying to pack. how to pack it all. what is the best stuff to start with on a budget (that can be slowly improved apon over time) It's all stuff that require research and KZbin is an easy way to research other peoples success and failures so we can replicate and avoid them ourselves. and this does start a binge watching session that goes well into the early hours of the morning... you are sure right about that. But with your love of motorcycles, and camping. wouldn't you just love to combine them full time? I sure would... but if I were vieoing it for youtube, my point of difference is, I would be camping in Haunted places and searching for ghosts... Nobody on the planet is doing Moto-ghost-hunting. so it would be an Original Idea that could combine the two or simply be one or the other as well!

My friend swears by them but hey if you spent $800 on something maybe you don't want to admit they suck lol. I still love the seat I copied you use, best $300 I ever spent on this bike.

Is that a newer rebel? Huh, they look pretty cool now days. If they are as reliable as they are know for being, then you should have a good runner for a long time. I learned to ride proper on one of them back in the early 2ks.

If you can swing buying a 2025 Rebel 1100, I think it would be beneficial to the channel (since many people will be searching for that motorcycle when it comes out, so you may get new subscribers.)

Which exhaust are you running on the 1100 in this video?

[@LifeOfBurch]

Coffman’s thunder exhaust! That’s what we run on our 300, 500, and 1100. Love it! tinyurl.com/coffmans1100

[@Rickits24]

@@LifeOfBurch I have been considering an exhaust swap. Hearing it through the audio while driving around was satisfying. Do you have a video, or film one, with you recording st highway speeds where it's sound comes through?

[@LifeOfBurch]

@ go check out my most recent video before this. It’s the Honda Rebel speed comparison video that I mentioned here. You’ll be able to hear the raw audio as I’m ripping through the gears!

What kind of mpg do you get on your rebel 1100?

[@LifeOfBurch]

Funny you ask cause I actually tracked it on that pagoda ride I talked about in this. 50mpg on the way there, 48mpg on the second fill up, 43mpg on the way back. The difference is because I MOBBED home…like crossed my 10k milestone doing 118 (allegedly) 😂 But overall for fill ups on the trip, I did 378 miles, used 8.043 gallons, and averaged 47mpg!

[@mikealbastudios]

@ thanks for the info. The 1100 is on my list for a possible new bike. Might try to find some pics of it with ape hangers installed.

The Honda Element is such an underated vehicle
