I lost $1,000s Starting this YouTube Channel (Motorcycle Vlog)

I’ve lost thousands of dollars starting this motorcycle YouTube channel… but not in the way you might think. In this video, I explain why I decided to leave behind a successful BMX channel with nearly 50,000 subscribers and start fresh with motorcycles.

I talk about the risks of splitting an audience, why I chose to separate BMX and motorcycles, and how starting from scratch means walking away from YouTube monetization—even while my motorcycle review videos were pulling in views.

At the end of the day, I’m building something bigger: a dedicated community around motorcycles, vlogs, and custom paint. This is about more than money—it’s about passion, growth, and connecting with riders like you.

If you’re thinking of starting a YouTube channel, or splitting your content into a new niche, this video will give you some insight into the struggles and rewards of making that choice.

Thanks for the support and for riding with me through this journey!
