Loads of stuff that you don't need for money you could spend for many sets of tires, brake pads, engine oil and still have enough for fixing the bike if you crash it.
If you want the bike to be lighter, start with your own fat reserves.  ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I don't think that is his own garage, he's filmed in his garage before and it's a fairly modest brick built single garage. I think that is some kind of tuning company as he uploaded a video of his bike on a dyno at the same place recently.
Never really understood why people spend loads of track bikes, unless you want to compete and win races it seems a waste of money as I doubt it's more fun once the novelty factor has worn off. ____________________ Yamaha FZR400RR 3tj

It was through his stickers, which he must have sold a shit ton of to be able to afford all that gear. He really doesn't seem to need the money but a lot of people want the stickers so meh, nothing wrong with that.
Here's a video of the bike running, by the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3mZmGoUx2E sounds goooood ____________________ KTM 990 SMT & Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM |

Watched his latest video and he still has his Gixxer! That means he has: Fireblade, Gixer, BMW & that 2stroke enduro bike. Bit cheeky to ask for help with anything when you can afford to run all those, probably has a few nice cars as well. |
People are happy enough to part with their cash so why not? He's got a decent gaff as well - doesn't mean he can't advertise himself (no doubt he's got his proper business more customers as well). It's not like he's forcing people to pay to watch his videos. I'm glad he's doing well for himself - in the current economic climate it's nice to see somebody work for their money rather than fuck up the country and get it that way instead because they're a banker or whatever.

Don't know if he ever monetized his videos, but again, money for doing videos he does anyway, why not?
Seems like a decent guy, he makes videos people enjoy, fair play to him. |
He has monetised them but if you have adblock I don't think you see them as I've never seen one Still though I bought a sticker cause I liked the look of them. Wasn't particularly arsed about paying for his bike rebuild, I just fancied a sticker
| Mario_Kempes wrote: | Like his videos, seems a decent sort but anyone buying stickers to advertise someone's YouTube channel is....I don't even know where to start.
Get off your knees, worm. |
People asked for them, he capitalised on it. Good business sense if you ask me, which is presumably why he's doing alright enough to afford an S1000RR with his baby on the way (as it was). I believe he'd put a deposit on one of those BMW HP4 Carbon things but he couldn't afford it at 20k or whatever they were but still, if you could earn more from flogging a few stickers I'm sure you would he's on 55k subscribers now so it must be paying him back or he wouldn't continue vlogging I suppose. I watch him and he's the only youtuber who genuinely makes me laugh so that's good enough for me. Premises187 is good as well for his random encounters thing he does. Sees some weird shit
It's not like he has hoodies and t-shirts and all sorts of shit like that (which by the way I have seen, and he was a shit vlogger - surprise surprise... nobody bought one) - it's like a fiver for a sticker including postage. If you don't want one... don't buy one.  |
