LAB-355-Are We Impartial When Reviewing Motorcycles? | We Just Hit 200K Subscribers On YouTube!

In this episode, I'm joined by Lurch and we talk about being impartial when reviewing motorcycles; in particular Harley-Davidson motorcycles.  This topic was spurred by a voicemail message left by long-time listener Steve Kastell.  Steve expressed concern about the impartiality of my Harley-Davidson motorcycle reviews.  His concern stemmed from the fact that the majority of the motorcycle ride and review events I attend are hosted by Harley-Davidson

The topic then flows into the announcement that our YouTube Channel just went past 200,000 subscribers.  I talk about the journey to get to 200k subscribers; the good and the bad.  You can leave us a voicemail HERE if you have comments or questions that might turn into a show topic.

We've been at the YouTube Channel and Podcast game for over 11 years now.  For the first eight of those years, we reviewed bikes that we could get our hands on.  Many of those bikes belonged to friends and family.  We were able to occasionally wrangle on out of our local Harley-Davidson dealer.  Unfortunately, we generally only got to take those bikes out for a few hours.  

Here at Law Abiding Biker, we worked hard to get the attention of Harley and most recently Indian Motorcycles.  Hopefully, as we continue to grow our reach we'll get access to new brands.  We do our best to be honest and impartial when reviewing bikes.  I don't just gush over the new bike like some other YouTube Channels.  We will pick out things that can be improved on even if they are "knit-picky".  The truth is, I've been hard on Harley in the past and still point out when they can do better.  We appreciate Steve leaving the voicemail and expressing his concern.  Heck, it provided good content for the podcast.

Our YouTube Channel has surpassed 200,000 subscribers!  It started as a passion project to create a platform that, educated, inspired, and entertained bikers.  I provide my insight if you're interested in starting a channel.  Start with something you have an interest in, something that you truly enjoy.  Obviously, for me, my passion was motorcycles.  I've been referred to as an OG in the YouTube space.  I've dealt with burnout and exhaustion.  You just have to keep on grinding if you want to make it on YouTube.  

Ultimately, we've had a lot of fun creating content for our channel.  I wouldn't change it for the world.  My reward has been connecting with bikers worldwide and creating a platform for them to connect.  The positive feedback from our videos keeps me motivated.  Thank you to all who subscribe to our channel, watch our videos, and take time to leave comments.
