I'll admit it, I have watched some motorcycle type vloggers.  If you don't know what I am talking about see the examples below.

However I don't get the appeal of these videos.  What is so interesting about watching some guy riding his bike while yakking about things don't matter?  Or them sharing their feelings about everything from dogs to nuclear power?  

I haven't looked for it, but there is probably some guy in a Geo Metro vlogging about the giant SUV that just passed him and put him in a spin.

Oh yea Mordeth13, I've watched quite a few of his vids where he's riding in traffic in Tiawan. It cracks me up how he zips in and out of the cars and the cars are pulling out in front of him and he keeps talking like it no big deal.
I guess he's used to it, if it were me there, I'd be a nervous wreck.

Same appeal as twitter and facebook and myspace - there are lots of people who are bored and want to know how other people are doing.

those were the worst vids ever...snooze. if i want to hear someone talk to thereselves while riding ill just go ride and listen to my self!!

that m13 guy is a pussy.  hes an effeminant introvert that like to teach little kids.  he probably didnt do so well socially here in the states so he moved to a country where everyone is smaller than he is.  how did i come to this conclusion??? well, hes riding a little 250 (i know, its a big bike in taiwan) and says hes 'such an aggressive rider' cause he uses an incorrect downshifting technique to chirp the rear tire...then he couldnt even do it!  he says he gets mad a kids and wants to slap them for teasing dogs...WTF??? youre going to hurt a human to protect an animal??? sorry but thats backwards.  kids tease animals...its what they do.  if you dont like it, put the dogs on a leash (but leashes are mean, id rather discipline the child physically!).  then he thinks hes gonna protect some girl cause a guy touched her arm?? yea, that guitar guy is lucky that m14 dude didnt turn around!  m13 acts big and bad, but hed probably get his ass kicked and scream like a girl.  he didnt turn around cause he knew he couldnt handle the confrontation.  then he waves at some scooter guys and takes the time to turn around, but doesnt wander over to see if he can join them?  he didnt cause he was scared of them.  'ohh, they didnt wave, they must be very mean people...im not going to go over there'.  what kind of fucking moron gets frustrated and curses him self (and has to point it out to you) because hes having a hard time vlogging.  doucebag.

I wonder how they cut the WOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHH (wind noise) out of the final cut.  Seems like a lot of editing work for someone with nothing important to say.

They actually put the camera in their helmet.  They use small digital cameras that will fit behind the face shield.

I don't ride in the ice and snow, so I'll watch these things to pass the time. M13 can be pretty interesting sometimes.

Most people who record video have no idea of critical viewing and they never met a frame they didn't love. Most of those things could be chopped down to 30 seconds of hightlights and any real rider will know what's really the good stuff.

Alright, lets break out the tomatoes.

Honestly, if no one likes this stuff, how would they get so many views and subscribers?? Atlas has 227 and 13m has like 7k+!

Someone else said it. Why do people read twitter, or link rss feeds?

I agree that the constant running talk isn't for me, but it's an alternative to regular blogging right. some people are more visually stimulated, so rather than reading a blog they'd like to view a vlog.

I think with a bit more editing I'd be more inclined to watch either, just to kind of get through the dead air and thought process. There's some other popular Youtube regular that kind of speeds up the time between phrases so its a much more stream of consciousness type video. Even though he's kind of annoying it makes it easier to watch.

The only vlogger I actively watch is Ashf00t:

I also occasionally watch SteelHorseClub.  

The moto vloggers actually had a meet in Arkansas last Summer (well, the US based ones, not moredeth13).
