Well... You said this would happen.

[@HerTwoWheels]

Well. This is it. You all saw it before I could. Feeling like a failure on KZbin has officially brought about the inevitable "Burn Out" and I'm done talking about it. Making these videos used to be a genuine source of excitement, creativity and endless freedom. But it wasn't going full time that brought about this exhaustion. It was the never ending pressure to produce until I felt like I had nothing left. KZbin rewards watch time above all else... so my videos got longer. KZbin rewards clicks so I because doing "Click Baitey" titles (Even though those have been and probably will always be the only reason some people ever click on my videos) And now... KZbin rewards "Shorts" because they have finally fallen out of the spotlight as the world's most visited site for entertainment. And. I'm. Done. This is not what I signed up for when I created the channel, "Her Two Wheels" I did not sign up to be the next Mr. Beast. I did not sign up to show my body for fast growth and popularity. I did not sign up to grind, daily, on 60 second videos that do nothing for my creativity or value.I did not sign up to feel irrelevant and constantly looked over as a storyteller. I created Her Two Wheels to find my community. To share in the world I have built my life around. To be able to document my adventures, grand and minuscule. To escape the daily monotony of societal expectations. Feeling this urge to get away from the "Algorithm" has been gnawing at me for months. I am done fighting KZbin. I'm done begging viewers to stay. I'm done worrying about how to ALWAYS one-up my last upload.... So this is it. The final "F-U" to the unsustainable pressures put on creators. Back to basics. Back to escaping together. Just you and me and two wheels. 2023 is going to be amazing!

I totally support you! This is not the first time I hear this from a YT creator. I think you will find the way to be confortable again. I enjoyed your moto-camping videos and I felt motivated to do my own 2k km moto-camping trip. I will be thankful to you for this. Best regards from Argentina ❤️

[@strawberryrhubarbtarot]

I have a YT channel and I felt the same pressure to produce. I do livestreams when I feel like it as I want to remain authentic and true to myself. I love watching your videos especially ones to do with camping. I will be 69 in 3 months and I still ride my motorcycle year round and I love to mc camp. For 2022 I put only 3000 km (~2000 mi) on my car and the rest was on my motorcycle. I save on gas and reduce my carbon footprint as well! My passion is riding!

Hey Jessica YOU KEPT ME ALIVE. I was lying on the couch one day during on of my depression episodes. I was watching KZbin. I fell asleep and woke up up to your channel playing. You sparked something inside of me. 13 yrs ago I was in motorcycle accident. Almost lost my left foot. Fast forward through my divorce and staring over one dead end after another. You got me riding again. And man did I miss it. Sometimes you forget who you are and you have to go back and try all the things you used to do to find what makes you happy. Now I'm re married to a great women ( love ya Tracy). Have 2 great pups, my own home with 2 bikes to choose from. Just wanted to let you know that you made a difference to at least one of us out there in KZbin land.

[@waynedewey5521]

Jess, I am sure that you do not hear from a vast majority of your subscribers, but we are here, thoroughly enjoying your down to earth, utterly real, triumphs and tribulations. I am a now a 70yo man who lives a bit vicariously through your adventures. Your recent 3 week solo trip was an adventure of a lifetime for some of us. I am sure that I speak for a LARGE percent of your base when I say THANK YOU! That being said, do what you need to do for you, just let us in for a view once in a while. Soldier on, but at YOUR pace. OK?

[@pcthayer]

I ditto everything Wayne said. I'm 72 and ride but not as much as before and love watching your videos. I'm sorry you have to deal with the "haters" and if it gets too bad, hire someone to read and summarize the comments and they can delete the bad ones so you don't have to deal with them. There are spineless idiots out there who feel powerful if they can get a rise out of someone if they post something anonymously.

I agree with both these gentlemen I don’t say much about I enjoy your content!

[@lindahulse9750]

Jess, you have been a huge inspiration to me. My husband died on November 9th of this year leaving me with our Road Glide Ultra Bagger. It's HUGE and too much for me to ride alone but I can't give up riding. I have decided to turn it into a trike and I watch your videos not only for inspiration but information, your bravery, and your bright sparkle. You are making a difference for me. Sometimes when I can't sleep, I turn on one of your videos and it distracts me from my grief and allows me to fall asleep dreaming of riding. Make your content. Ride your ride. I'll be watching.

This makes us dirty old men Wayne and Paul I'll be 72 day after Christmas , first of all at a younger age I couldn't afford a bike or the free time to ride it . Then COVID lockdown ( so called, come to find out ) sitting in front of this screen non stop I lost the muscle tone to feel comfortable with my 2002 Honda Goldwing , ended up selling it last summer . I can handle my 2001 Silverwing as it is 350 lbs. lighter, can't wait to hit the road this spring.. Live your dream Jess!

Dear Jess, three years ago I was in a motorcycle accident that changed my life forever. I lost my dream bike that I had waited my whole life to get. My body was broken and battered and the young girl that caused the wreck had very little insurance. Anyway, I started watching your channel and others like Shadetree and Adam for the simple reason that I missed my motorcycle. I still do everyday. I watch ya'll because it is the only way that I will ever see some of the sights that you show. Living vicariously through you and others is all I have left so thank you for taking me along. Much love Jess from Georgia.

I'm now 60. Lost my wife a little over two years ago. Been a hermit since. Used to ride, but have never really had long rides like you do. Started watching your channel, and really enjoyed it. I'm still not riding again, but I want to...and you've been an inspiration. Mostly because you're the first person to say "I have no idea what I'm doing", but then you do it anyway. I envy that. Don't let KZbin choke out that sense of adventure. That would be sad, no matter what happens to the channel.

[@threepwood56]

I'm in the same boat, @SophistecatedBob. Lost my wife last March, but not before she asked me to live a joy-filled life. It's good to grieve, but we're also entitled to our share of joy too. One of my bucket-list items is to ride across America, hopefully following the old Route 66. First though, I'm going to practice back home, and see how a trike handles the twisties Down Under!

[@paulscalla8614]

Jess, I'm 68 years old and convinced me that I could learn to ride motorcycles. I watched when you tested the Honda Navi. I went and bought one and have learned to ride. Thanks for showing an old man that you are never to old to do something new. I will continue to watch your channel and enjoy you for you. God bless you.

[@jillmcnaughton2961]

Jess, as a woman and as a rider, i want to say thank you. You were the first KZbin channel I followed that had anything to do with motorcycles. Something about you made me connect with you instantly. I couldn't wait to check out your newest video every time I got a notification you posted something. The people who really value and support you, will never get upset or disappointed if you don't post a video for a week, or two, or three...... I'd rather watch something that you loved making, rather than something you felt forced to make for a timeline. Because of you, I found out about such things as Babes Ride Out and other amazing places and things I would never have known about. You have become a staple in my home, as creepy as that sounds, lol. I love your personality and your funny jokes and comments you make while riding. I value you and your content, and your love for our metal stallions. Please do what you love, and let us lucky ones come along with you. 🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡

Now, put one leg over that bike, and go wherever this crazy world takes you!

I’m a rough around the edges dude who normally likes technical videos, but what got me watching your videos was the fact that my wife wants to ride and I showed her your videos because you show that it’s about the experiences on your bike, which is incredibly more important than what someone may or may not know about the bike itself. Your doing a great job, and thank you for investing the time to put the content out that you do. 🤙🏽

Everyone’s KZbin channel changes when it becomes their livelihood. Before that it seems like they are all cool with just posting a simple ride for coffee or some honest reviews. Thats all the stuff I miss from just about all my favorite motovloggers. I loved joining you for a ride on days when I couldn’t ride myself.

[@keithallen3119]

Nice summary. I have the same reaction, the original reason for following a channel gets lost at some point. That's when I move on, or when the creator stops posting and moves on with their life. Perhaps that's the natural progression on social media? We will see.

Although I wear a leather cut with a 3 piece on the back, this video brought me to tears. My year was pretty rough, resulting in a heavy burn-out and a relapse in my suicidal depression.

Jess, I stumbled across your channel some time ago and subscribed and stayed because of the insight into your life and adventures that it presents. The very fact that you strapped on a camera and mike and opened up to we (the viewers) has been both entertaining and inspiring. Yes, social media is often the home of nasty and mean-spirited voices. But it also has people (like me) who find H2W to be amazing. Good on you for putting yourself out there to create content. Keep up the great work and remember that in the midst of those noisy haters and bullies are people who are truly on your side and remain loyal to your channel and appreciate your content. Merry Christmas and a safe and joyous New Year from this Australian subscriber to both you and Jordan

There are some wonderful vloggers on KZbin such as @HerTwoWheels, @Usernamekate, @Doodle on a Motorcycle, as well as plenty of couples who vlog together. Motorcycling has the ability to bring people together in such a magical way. There are some inspirational posts here from people that Jess has positively influenced through her vlogging. For me, getting on a trike is just one positive therapy after losing my beloved wife last year. She made me promise to live a joy-filled life, and I can't think of a better way than by "feelin' the breeze on ma' knees" again. 😇 I'm in awe at how some women riders handle huge bikes putting some of us males to shame with their skill levels.

[@marceaton3128]

Jess, I started my law enforcement career in 1981, people were as bad then as they are now. I got to accomplish two things in 22 years. I was a K-9 handler for 8 years, then went to traffic and got to ride motorcycles. I enjoy watching this ballsy young lady do something I wanted to do, but didn’t. That’s riding from Ohio, my second Sasquatch state, to Florida. I had special treatment for bullies, flashlight shampoos. Three things I didn’t put up with. Men hurting women, men hurting kids, and bullies. I had no problems hurting those people who hurt the people who couldn’t defend themselves. They say they get into Police work to help people and make a difference. Two things I’m proud of in my tour, I delivered a beautiful baby girl in her moms kitchen, and me and my fur Missile won Police Officer of the year for the State of Maryland. Don’t let haters get to you, do you know how many threats I’ve had, a guy who just got out of a nut house was trying to break into my Police car one day. I went out and he accused me if spying on him for his land lord. I told him to go before I let the fur Missile out. He told me he had pictures of my 6 year old daughter getting off and on the bus at school. our brave Major who said he was never scared ordered me to stay away from him and a patrol car would see my daughter on the bus and off at school. In laws got her after. Two weeks later they found him dead in his trailer of a heart attack. People drive by while my kids were in the yard and tell me to go f myself, beer cans in my yard, bottles broken in my driveway. I worked a lot where I lived and I guess the thought I would be intimidated and overlook things. Instead I locked as many up as I could. Track them in the dark woods and made them happy meals. I didn’t care what the thought, they shot my house up with my family asleep inside, bullet was in the refrigerator. I got him and he spent 13 years in jail and was a shell of himself when he got out. Don’t let these keyboard balls wackos change you, I like your content and I’m coming down to fallen Angels this summer. I want a picture of a bad ass biker from Ohio. You’re blessed, raise hell, curse and drink and I’ll still watch. You’re a bad ass kiddo. Don’t let these keyboard tough guys break that spirit, just tell them you have this big biker family that thinks of you as a baby sister. And we’re very protective of her. See you in 2023. Have to trade the Harley, I had my spine fusion done in 2021 and haven’t rode the Black Pearl much. Im going to be on a Goldwing automatic, I’m 61, it will look natural. Excuse and grammar errors, I’m on meds for my PTSD and stuff to make sleep. So you keyboard badasses better lay low, you have some badass friends.

Like all your videos where you talk about growth, difficulties, hateful comments, and all things analytics this video hits me in the feels. It is unfortunate that you are 100% correct on how the vast majority simply DO.NOT.CARE about things that go into making videos. They consume free content and are happy to complain about it. There are so many that absolutely DO CARE and also show great support but its a very one-sided scale. The shorts and move by KZbin to become TikTok has really hit hard and overnight all my growth just went away. Completely out of my control. My content does not align with short form anything so I'm feeling a bit homeless if things don't change. Anyway, I will miss videos like this but understand the decision that had to be made. Onwards and upwards

I replaced the bike with a VTX 1300c and started planning that coast to coast trip that has been sitting on my bucket list for my whole life (along with seeing much of the country i've not seen) You inspired that change. Thank You my Dear Jess. You do what you have to do. The loyal fans will follow when and where they can. Hope to see ya out there some day, so I can Thank you in person. From this older rider and I am sure many many more here, thank you for sharing your journeys.

I truly loved the compilation with Blockhead and some of the wild things down in FL and GA just kicked ass. Because of your channel I'm super stoked to get out and just ride once I retire from the Navy next year. To just be able to escape more often than I've been able to.

[@gettinlost]

Jess, I came across your channel, cus of the solo camping video in 2020. You gave me some needed perspective to help me find even more enjoyment out of my riding. Yes, I do watch other rider channels, but I like yours the most because of videos like this. Either you’re showing me some gear ideas for motocamping(I know you stopped, but oh well) or we’re jaw jackin while you go run errands on the Dyna or Appa, or you’re taking us on a road trip to see Block Head or ride Indians in Arizona. Each time it’s like I’m hanging with one of my buds and I’ve got a small social circle. Keep doing what you’re doing. Make the content you want to make. That’s what brought me here in the first place and why I’m still around nearly 3 years later.

It's really hard to recover from and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I’ve heard lots of famous people say they stopped reading their comments on social media, there is always that person who wants to bring you down or thinks it’s funny to post negative comments. I know it’s hard to ignore them but you have to. Maybe it’s time to have someone else take care of the social media for you and you just make the content.

[@leiffolvik5359]

We'll be here. Your motorcycle camping trips is what brought me in, I researched here on youtube planning a trip back in 2020, never got to actually do it, but I watched you and lived the camping life through you since then 😃 You make your love for riding shine through the screen, and the way you burst out laughing for just twisting the throttle all of a sudden... 😄 It's just a lot of fun watching you. Merry X-mas and a happy New Year!

[@FrankDouglas]

I do appreciate the behind the scenes candid videos. I have a very very small Channel myself and people don't understand how hard this stuff can be. But I have enjoyed your videos both the riding ones and your longer Adventure ones and you just talking about going getting a coffee. Whether it's how to pack a Harley to go camping or how to attach your GoPro I think the randomness of that makes this whole thing more real. But a lot of us who watch you and have watched you for a while think of you as a friend even though we've never really met. And don't want to see you burn out. Have a super wonderful holiday and hopefully see more of your videos in the new year.

[@andyfixedit1805]

Jess, I'm here for the ride. Not only kickstands up, I'm here for what you produce. You've inspired me to reach out in my riding, and you've shown all of us just how many opportunities the motorcycle community has to offer. While I can't fully sympathize with your struggles creating content, what I can do is offer my heartfelt thanks for continuing to make a positive effect on my life.

[@BigHustExperience]

Jess, you rock girl! Started following you a couple of years ago. Glad you are taking back control and doing this for you! I’m glad this video came to my attention. 13 minutes well spent! Have a safe and Merry Christmas along with the New Year! Be safe!

[@lemetragriffin5235]

I'm sorry for what you are going through. I recently started watching your vlogs. God bless you because I know how you feel, maybe not exactly, but seeing your emoticons, it actually made me tear up. I'm praying for you and your family.

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

For some reason I feel kinda sad now Jess. I know this isn't a farewell or anything, like not even close to it. Yet this made an impression on me. I guess it's more that I feel sorry for YT being annoying with pushing shorts and all the other shenanigans it thinks/thoughts off. To YT: Bro, I'm on YT (Premium even!) To support the creators I like most to the max I possibly can within my limits. So the entire view time of the videos cause it's like my personal Netflix. Being subbed to ones I like most whether it be due the fact that I feel like are my kind of people or just that I have a connection with that person. Giving them comments to boost viewer engagement or feeling to answer a question they asked or want to know an opinion. If I want to look at shorts KZbin, i'll search for them in a the shorts tab. Not to fond of seeing them in between my videos from channels I subbed to, or recommended ones who might interest me. On that note Jess, since you mentioned your videos weren't pushed to view, I disagree, for me they did. Looked back and saw that every video from 1 year+ back is noted as watched for me. As for your channel I think i've seen more then 3/4 or 2/3 or 9/10 or out of your 263(?+) videos I think i've seen more then 220 of them. Lol! 😂 I found your channel while I was interested and looking up videos for motorcycling. Never had much for cruisers but grew to like them thanks to you and some other creators I started watching back then. Anyway, looking forward to your videos as always and I am excited to see what's to come! You be good, same for Jordan and until the next one!😁

[@philhill184]

Jess, I’ve seen your last several videos and they feel like hard work rather than the joy filled two-wheeler that I subscribed. Thank you for this confessional video. I’m staying with you and if you don’t put out videos every other day; I’ll wait until the next one. Too much of a thing sometimes waters down the relationship. I’ll eagerly await your next adventure. Keep that beautiful smile and don’t feel like you have to apologize for being blessed! Some of us are still trying to attain those blessings! Namely my own two wheels. In the meantime, I’m riding thru your eyes, words and impressions. I’m enjoying the journey!

[@jeffsappington9704]

Okay, just watched this today. My wife and I watch your vids together. I'm 67yo and my wife is "somewhere in there". I have a 2004 Road King Classic and she rides a 2014 Heritage Softail. We usually watch together on the big TV and I have to remember to "like" your vids afterwards, as we don't know how to do it on the Telly. I'm sure you have a varied audience, but let us share what we enjoy on your show. The travelogues are awesome! We live in Western Colorado and we're not taking long, extended, ass-killing trips anymore. We love being able to look over your shoulder (chin) and enjoy rides that we haven't taken and in all likelihood, never will. I don't like boat loads of people, so it was nice to go to Sturgis with you. We love your Road Glide, although my wife still gets confused over which is which (RG vs SG). It's interesting to see the mods a woman makes to a bike. Your apparel choices have inspired my wife to look farther afield. "What does she do for hot or cold rides?" For me, I'd never heard of Odin gloves and I've had a motorcycle endorsement for 50 years. Our two cents would be: Quality over quantity. Do what you enjoy and love and invite us to come along. No people pleasing. What a rabbit hole that is! There's only one Jess, let's not forget how rare and valuable that is. Blessings to you and Jordan, and shiny side up! P.S.- Your latest Florida shows have a considering some snow bird travel. Can't believe it! Ha!

[@lifeisshortsomoveon1405]

Jess, Just so you know I got back on a motorcycle because of this channel and bought my first Harley Davidson in August I use this as a compass to help me find parts, camping ideas, road trips. You have a good soul and you always share how you are feeling and me for one appreciate seeing that your not fake you,re just like the rest of us just making your way down the highway enjoying the ride and sharing you time which is the most valuable thing in life because once spent it can never be regained. Thanks for all you do and stay strong.

[@Ricks_Audio_Visual]

Jess thank you for everything you do! I appreciate it and I appreciate you, I know thousands more feel the same! Please if you do one thing on this channel just do this. BE YOUR SELF! Do what make you happy! Merry Christmas Jess ❤

[@Brad_English]

Haters are always gonna hate. Don't let them get you down. I personally have learned a lot from you. Thank you for that! Keep your head up and ride your ride.

[@rafaeldavid9726]

I enjoy watching your videos anyway. I enjoy them because I learn. The reason is that beyond the motorcycle rides, I'm seeing 'YOU'... Jessica, the person... the spirit... your ⬆️s + ⬇️s as you share them and how you're fighting to recover. I'm seeing a human being. You're a hero. 🙏❤️💪

[@Red81Camaro]

Jess it hurts to see you hurting like this. You have provided a lot of great content that probably millions have enjoyed. DONT LET THE A'HOLES GET IN YOUR HEAD PLEASE. Just keep being true to yourself and we will be here POSITIVELY enjoying you. Keep on keeping on. Wishing you and Jordan a very Merry Christmas and The Happiest of New Years. Keep smiling and piling miles on those bikes. Be safe out there.

[@DadandaBike]

Live to ride, ride to live... and old thing my dad used to say.... he also use to say live while you ride is the most important part, We all love you Jess and we will see you on the road. 😀

[@gwaddles]

Do what you are passionate about and what brings you joy. That is when we are at our best…

[@amysmotherman-jenkins2128]

Thank you for posting this. I'm sorry you've been going thru this. Sometimes you have to take a step away, find yourself again. Make the videos YOU love. That's how your tribe found you to begin with. We are here. I love that you cuss and drink. Always be yourself. Never change that. I can't wait to see what you post in 2023!! Keep the shiny side up sister!! Oh...and this old broad DOES CARE. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@wannafly34]

Jess - whether it’s your interaction through the lens or in person, you make me feel valued - and I’m sure most everyone would agree. And it’s not for our attention, our clicks, our likes, and ultimately, our wallets - but genuinely for us and for the love of motorcycling that we all share. So thank you as always for what you do, for your transparency, and for making all of us feel valued. Get some rest and enjoy your holiday season!!!

[@Gator269x]

I've been a subscriber for quite a while now and have always enjoyed your genuine character, great style of videos, your honesty and overall love of bikes. It's terrible to hear of these online bullies that feel the need to put other people down. I hope you just keep being true to yourself and do what makes you and your hubby happy!

[@nancymartin6701]

Love your videos that show us places we’ve never been. Love your videos that give reviews on bikes and accessories including your tools that you use to make the videos. And super love videos that give me ideas of things to do on my bike like solo camping!! Even love the videos that show your garage as it does relate to most motorcycle owners!! You do you!! I’m sure I’ll love what you post!!

[@JohnHall-zg3bm]

Videos like this is why I started watching you to begin with, it was a fresh new outlook on life on a motorcycle. I even subscribed to the channel then content went to the norm and l lost interest. Glad you are going back to the roots of where it all began, that's when you are at your best. After your last video I subscribed again, good for you. Wishing you all the best and Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[@garyallmond6535]

Personally, I love your channel. Do I get to watch your videos as soon as they come out? Nope. But I do eventually get around to watching them. So, may you and Jordan have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May 2023 provide you with many miles with the breeze in your knees!

[@UsernameKate]

You're amazing girl. I hear you - I'm posting twice weekly since Feb and it's a lot. It's a bloody lot of work. I know some of the videos I post will flop because of the variety on my channel but I don't let it beat me down thankfully because I'm posting what I want, this doesn't mean I don't understand the pressure of it all though! Just do what makes you happy and the people who care will stick around :) You rock and Merry Christmas x

[@brentthornton9288]

Please don't let weak mean people influence you. Stay strong, love your content. Keep riding on.

[@michaelgraham6443]

This is the most honest, down to earth, right at ya video I've seen in a long time...Jess, thanks for keeping it real. Some of the things you've said in this video resonate in my own life, especially the "wanting to step away from Social Media" thing. You're a deadset Champion mate, but remember to live your life for you.

[@goldeniron8989]

Thank you so much 😁❤️👍 I understand a little about depression I go threw it a lot of times out of the blue even when everything is going great. Riding helps clear my head and helps a lot to get ride of my depression. I love all of your content. Please do not let others change 🙏 who you are 😁👍

[@slydale]

I enjoyed your videos as I came across them. You n I started the ride same time. Maybe, or so it felt. Your adventures has mirrored my own albeit different locales. And I even found myself talking to myself inside my own helmet. And alot as if I was addressing an audience. Lol. Thank you for your content. Don't let the ugly get to you, ride on

[@13thSwarde]

I have only been seeing you for about three months. I think you rock and you have a great personality. Keep doing what you’re doing it is amazing. Enjoy the ride. I am 71 and I am fortunate to be able to ride on two wheels.

[@jonathancarter2349]

Jess I have been following almost from the beginning. The thing I love about your channel is the way you connect with the viewer. I think I would subscribe if you had a cooking channel or a channel about brick laying. It is you that makes the channel. The fact that it is about motorcycles is just icing on the cake. Live YOUR LIFE always be true to who YOU are. Goods things will follow. Happy 2023!

[@tammyshort3807]

Hi Jess! I love your content. I started riding in 2019. I purchased a 2018 RGS in 2020 and I put a little over 20,000 miles on my bike this year! Looking forward to 2023. You do what you want to do!

[@mikeescott76]

Thank you. . . . Thank you for sharing this. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being honest and forward. Those are very great qualities to have. Do whatever makes you happy and enjoy every moment you can.

[@ianlockley1489]

HiJess I am in UK I enjoy your videos . Sad to hear you say that it's affected your life in a bad way. Just know there has been times in the last couple of years that your videos have Helped Me and I dare say many other viewers . You do what YOU need to do for your own peace of mind . HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY .XXX

[@redwhiteandrzroffroad8922]

PRIOR to seeing this video I subscribed. I just found your channel about a week ago. Actually saw you on a sturgis video and went to the channel. Cool that you’re in Ohio… my wife and I are just across the line in PA. Don’t second guess your decision… being true to yourself brings the most rewards. Stay safe.

[@ToniMGonsalves]

You are awesome. I love your channel and every type of video you make. I'm glad that you are not going to stop the channel completely. I just want to remind you that when you shine your light, there will always be people trying to dim it. The trick is to join with other lights so you can shine that much brighter. Love and light to you and your family. Keep going

[@ernabardana1314]

I am very close to turning 62 years of age. I began riding dirt bikes as a kid and just recently riding street. I have had the worst 3 years of my life with a lot of traumatic events and just resolved a NASTY divorce yesterday. I am looking forward to 2023 with hopes of buying my own home where I am no longer gaslighted by another. I have enjoyed the "escapism" that you have shared with me during this time and I want to get the courage to take a long solo ride in 2023. I have looked to your channel for inspiration to build my confidence and encouragement that I am not TOO old yet to live my dreams. Thank you so much for "doing you". I hope you hang around to keep teaching me.. Happiest of holidays to you. Wishing us both a great 2023..

[@billknight6072]

You do what makes you happy. I would like to say thank you for helping me have the courage to go camping on a 1000 mile ride on the weekends. With what you have posted helped me with my depression and anxiety I never wanted to go more than a hour from my house. Now I'm riding up to Oregon then down hwy 1 and hwy 101 to San Francisco. So thank you and don't lose heart.

[@unionrdr]

Kinda the same here at 66. I started working out last January, lost weight and bought an '18 Yamaha V Star 250 mid-August. Did videos for some 11 years. Started getting my balance back by last November when cold weather set in. Can't wait for riding season to come around again! So just keep on keepin' on!

[@spidertazzfb47]

I loved it i had to quit riding bikes because of my medical condition. I always have dreams of doing what you did. I have 6 bikes and they all run my favorite it my uncle's serpa t bulltaco and the forest i live next to.

[@MrJhbowman]

Life is an unpredictable journey, like a twisty road in a driving rain. We can plan but we still adapt to the changes. Loved watching you grow and enjoy Jordan on his adventure too. Don’t worry just be you and thanks for being so open.

[@sinr247365]

I’m here for whatever you post my friend. I have always felt your stuff is genuine and it brings peace. Your health comes first for sure. In my humble opinion you should only have to post as you see fit. Those that like your content aren’t going anywhere. Hugs and best of luck on the path you take. Maybe I’ll get to ride with you and hubs next season 😊.

[@johnrborges2363]

Keira Knightley, actress of the "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Star Wars" and many other movies and plays, took a year off from acting, I had read a long time ago. She turned down offers, demands and pressures telling the world she wanted to catch up on her reading and to travel, and to spend time with herself and family. That's all, she had no long explanation. I've always admired her for that, and she earned my deepest respect and a place in my heart as an admired star. And, if you see her now she is always in full control of herself and always looks satisficed and happy. JB

[@kenwood2239]

Jess, I watch your channel for the camping, motorcycles, and lifestyle it’s true… but I also watch because of YOU! You are a breath of fresh air, and something unique and inspiring in the motorcycle camping and adventure field. I could watch others but yours is the one I always watch and enjoy most. Keep doing what you love, and thanks for taking us along for the ride. Stay safe. 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

[@troyrumsey511]

Ive been watchin your channel for awhile, just tryin to see what your about! I like your honesty and wasnt till this video that i subscribed. I love the honesty and content. Looking forward to seeing more in 2023! Good job Jess!

[@Smokeinmebury]

The first video I watched of yours was just you riding to Starbucks for some coffee. And I subscribed. I enjoyed the way you talked with the viewers. I also just enjoyed that you were out riding, and that was what I was looking for. I just wanted to watch people riding in places I wasn't able to ride (at the time, I hadn't started riding yet). Also... there are aspects of your personality that remind me of my wife... and my wife says that, similarly, Jordan reminds her of me. It's like we get to watch alternate reality versions of us on KZbin. All that to say... just be you. Make what you want, and your internet fam will be here to experience it. Much love from your multiverse variants in AZ.

[@602JROCK]

I enjoyed everything. All your content. Sorry you're going through this. I subscribed for it all including the "caring". Yes social media is toxic. I hope you find a place for you. Because we all love ALL your content .

[@redneckwithajeep5001]

I said when you were in the early days of your channel and you actually responded in agreement and I still stand by it. Change is important. Not one of us is who we were in 2019. If you don't change you don't grow and if you're not growing then one has to wonder what are you doing. I don't know if you're a doctor who fan but this is a really good way to sum it up "We all change, when you think about it, where all different people; all through our lives, and that's ok, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be." Really wish I could find a way to say it that good myself but I honestly don't know a better way to put it.

[@patrickmaloney3637]

I love your videos. I like them, I watch through the ads, all to see your honest fun videos. You do your video your way. I’m sorry about the pressure. I (We) are here for you and your personality not just riding or bikes. For me, it’s an escape and I thank you.

[@nelmar5560]

An idea, never say never or the last time I’m going to say or do anything. The best I can be is human. And humans stumble, repeat themselves and at times fall. The key is to get up, shake it off, acknolage what happened and move on. You are completely and a great example of a human.

[@EMaple-wy7qb]

Jess, I love the content you make. I found you right around end 2019 the start of pandemic. You reignited something that I once loved . Motorcycles! Lol Becuse of you and a couple other youtubers I got my bike and started riding again.! And it has been soo good fro my mental health ! Thank you and Merry Christmas

[@jameswilburn6605]

Jess as a fellow buckeye (Cincinnati) for the last 64 years and a motorcycle rider for more than 45 years ( currently Triumph Thunderbird Commander 1700). I enjoy your videos and am not enjoying good health currently but still want to ride when I can. Really enjoyed riding with friends while in the U.S.M.C. my opinion is do what's good for you and you alone. If people want to watch they will or not, live your life. Oh Rah!!! Now and firever
