Hope this helps a few of you. Truth is, there is no one answer – we just have to do the best we can and try, i know its super hard, but try to relax and enjoy this silly little thing called life. Its not that much of a big deal in the end 🙂
I hope you enjoyed this riding series and i know its a bit of a down note to end on but things are not always like the movies and this is reality for thousands of people.
Big Love.

I suffer with many of the same problems you've talked about on this channel so I, like many of your audience can relate on that front! Personally I use a cocktail of medication to help keep me on an even keel but I know that can't really last forever so I take one day at a time until somehow i get things figured out. Im in my early 20s and unfortunately have been dealing with broken metalwork that holds my spine together so I can't really get out and do all those things I'd like. However, after stumbling across your channel a few weeks ago your videos have motivated me to finally decide that once my spinal issues have been fixed (3 years and counting now) I intend to reward myself with a CBR600rr! I grew up riding two up on my dads 93' CBR1100xx Blackbird and have always wanted a two wheeled weapon of my own, much to my mothers dismay and my dads amusement!
I've got many friends who ride and go off on adventures like you do and watching your videos and hearing the way you deal with things has really made me think its time to bite the proverbial bullet and join them. I've always worried that my paranoid nature and general state of marginally self inflicted neurosis would stop me from ever being able to do these sorts of things, especially considering just catching a flight is fairly heart attack inducing for me. Learning how you deal with things on the road have really helped me to get a better grasp on things and what is possible despite the struggles we face. For that, kind Sir I must thank you! I hope I run into you one day as from the seems of things you are not far up the road from me! I wish you many smooth mountain roads and safe travels! Thank you for giving this bike-less lunatic a little bit of much needed hope!
Just got into your vlogs. Funny stuff. Well I'm a certified nut job who's heavily medicated and I can empathise with your issues. I imagine your vlogs are quite cathartic for you (bit brainy that bit, apologies). Anyway, my main thought is, motorcyclefreaksontour.com it could catch on 👌😂😂 A load of social misfits with irrational paranoia, OCD, intrusive thoughts, anxiety etc all bowling about Europe on motorbikes sound like a decent plan for a YouTube series with yourself as the Chief basket case… Thoughts? Obviously it's my idea so I'd get all royalties, plus I'm too 'nuts' to be involved. 🤣🤣
Hey Baron, thanks for this. I’m sat in the sofa waiting until the very last minute before going back to work after 5 days of with ‘the depression’. I hate it. I hate my job, but I’m completely financially tied to it! My bike hasn’t moved in a few months as I can’t afford the insurance due to life events that have screwed me over! Hoping to get over it soon and carry on. Switzerland and Austria are my favourite places to ride so hopefully I’ll get over there soon! Thanks mate
I remember a couple of years ago when you made your first video about depression, it was the first time I heard someone being open about it which was eye opening. I have been feeling "shit", or empty, for about 8 years now, but I never really wanted to address it. I once went to the GP to ask him if I could get professional help, but just explaining him how I felt was so difficult, I didn't dare to go through with it. Now a couple of years later I'm starting to feel way worse. I decided I really needed the therapist and start doing something about it. Some days I can cope with the exercises I've learned, but still some days just a little set back can completely fuck me over.
Guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for being so open. And good to know I'm not the only one.
Don't think baron will catch this being a old video of his, been binge watching and heard in a few other vids you had depression and anxiety, just wanted to say thankyou for uploading this, I myself suffer from anxiety and what you have described is exactly I tend to go around things, worrying, making sure everything is right before its happened…again, thanks baron, feel i little bit more comfortable hearing it from someone else.
Hi Baron, same here my friend, I over think things, worry about sh#t that might not even happen….it gets to the point that its exhausting….. keep up the good work, I found 44teeth channel afew weeks ago the budget bike challenge and I must say you guys are awesome, loving the reviews, trips, banter e.t.c. all the best, James
This video for me i could not have watched at a better time, really low atm, packed up smoking 3 weeks ago and omg I'm a grumpy twat lol….my 2 year old daughter is the only one I have patience for, I watched your first road trip fo France, Spain, few days ago and decided next year to travel from Suffolk to the black forest germany, after watching you and Fagan on the budget Italia…..
I struggle with anxiety and depression. It’s bloody hard to describe how i feel. I’ve been struggling with a bad back injury, and subsequently I’ve had 17 ops in a very short period of time. Due to having so much time off work and being self employed, I lost everything. Work, money, friends, health, everything. Suicide was close. I had everything planned, the only thing that stopped me was the thought of my kids growing up without a Dad. I grew up without a Dad, and I couldn’t do it to them. I didn’t want my kids to think their Dad took the easy way out, the cowardly way of dealing with it… I’m still unable to work, I’m still having ops, but you know what? I’m not going to let this depression beat me. I’m not going down without a fight! Everyday is a struggle, but I’m winning, slowly. I found talking to the right people helps. Helps massively. People shouldn’t suffer in silence. I’ve found talking is the best medication…
Everyone is different. What works for me, may not work for others, but if you are suffering with depression and anxiety, there are loads of people to talk to.
Baron, keep producing this amazing content. I’m an OG follower and love what you do. Your vids bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. Please, don’t stop doing what you’re doing ✌️
Thank you, its good to know there are other "normal" …well kind of normal people that go through the same shit…Riding bikes I have found helps a lot, and the mates you make riding bikes helps even more. Cheers
O my God you are human after all. Good on you Baron
