Good to see you back on here, you shouldn't apologize for not being here you have a life to live and as much as I have missed your posts I do know life sometimes has to take priority. Love Q&A's ok!e this and your going off topic is why I love them, that's you and you should never change that. Good to see you back, you keep safe.
Wow! I'm just catching up with the Joanna F. Benz story and this is such an amazing honest video! With so much going on in your life I'm surprised that you have any time and energy left for YT - but I'm glad you do.
You are so charismatic and emotional in the way you speak and behave. You bring joy to my heart every time i see you happy .
You're great and also love the accent :D
Your a cool person, you make me smile, i love your positivity...its a gift.
Hi Joanna, great video always good hearing your points of view. Glad to hear your dads doing well an your family comes before the channel no question about that. Keep up the great work an look forward to your next post on here.
Great Q&A Joanna! Hope to see more of your videos, it is very pleasant listening to you talking about bikes!
Sorry not sorry - absolutely right, I for one am glad you have the chance to spend time with your Dad, it is precious. Thank you for answering my question about naked v faired, too! All the best Jo
Jo, this was an amazing video! You have such a beautiful personality. I am sorry to hear about your Father, I know how painful cancer can be to families, as I've lost 2 very close family members to cancer. With regards to that I wish you and your family the best. I will say that watching you smile, and joke with yourself made me laugh quite a few times! I do the same thing, and I believe most people must think I'm crazy.. :). I admire your positivity, and your ability to say things the way they are, you seem to be very personable and confident in yourself! Have fun decorating the new house!
Thanks again,
Austin
Now I know why you seem so genuine and enjoy your videos. I never knew about your son. My little brother is autistic. It takes a special person to care for a special needs child. Will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care of yourself and stay safe.
No 2. Love it.
Keep up all your good work Jo.
Till next time.
I'm so happy you read my question. However, I'm sorry it brought up a sensitive topic. I'm glad you father is doing well. I lost my father suddenly in 2001 and I wouldn't want anyone to feel that pain. I wish him a long life and for you to have many more happy memories with him. Loved this Q&A; your personality is awesome. The outtakes were great!
Hey Jo, I really enjoyed this video, and for what it’s worth I like how you talk too much; it shows that you’re honest, sincere and a pleasure to be around (so to speak).
Also, I lost my dad to cancer so I understand what you’re going through, believe me. Your father and your family is all that matters and as much as we have your back, we’re all insignificant compared to him and the rest of the people that are close to you. I wish I could do more, but in reality I can only send you my warmest regards and thoughts to you and your Pop. If you’re ever missing that shoulder to lean or to cry on, well... :)
Best wishes to you and your boy. Simon
Jo jo you are an amazingly beautiful person inside and out x yes more vids would be great but I totally understand why you've been quiet x I can't wait to hear more about your life x watching this has made me realise just how wonderful you really are x
Joanna, you have a very full plate in your life. Thanks for sharing... best wishes for your son... I know that's a massive effort.
Don't be sorry for putting family first Jo, but great to see an update and the outtakes were hilarious 😂
I'm glad your father has responded good to the treatment. My step mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. She had if I can re-call correctly about 9 chemo therapy treatments, and it was very draining and took a lot from her, but she made it. Its quite hard to understand what a person is going through, especially when their in another country, so I have to rely on my dad to tell me how things are going (they immigrated about 19 years ago to America). She had the surgery recently to remove all of the cancer, 8 hour surgery where they also do re-constructive surgery, so it will be a really big adjustment for her. At least her hair is growing back after the chemo she had, so already that is something that will lift her spirits. Right now she is still re-covering, 2 weeks in bed and my dad had to take off time from work to tend to her, draining fluids etc and sending it back to the hospital to check that everything is ok, basically he's a full time nurse now, and also looking after all the 11 cats and 1 dog they have. Thanks for sharing your life with us, we all have problems and challenges, but we always manage to get past them and sometimes sharing and talking about it, makes it feel a bit better. Love your Q@A's and your other video's you do. Hopefully this year, if all goes well, you'll be able to do a few more. Good luck and God speed.
Great video jojo...glad you doing more vids
Lost my dad to cancer a bit over a year now, and motorcycle riding with friends really helps to keep my head of the loss. The last days of dad's life where not nice, and i still struggle with losing him. Miss him every day. I really hope you get to spend a lot of time with your family and that your dad has more years in your company. Cheers Robbie, Belgium
I loved this, I think more than any of your videos I have watched before and I have enjoyed them all. It is nice to see that you are coping with life's challenges as they arise, as we all do and I look forward to seeing many more videos such as this. I hope Dad gets better soon and well done with your son. Both subjects are close to my own experience. BTW, you are maturing very well. I need to take up dancing ;)
Love the outtakes!
Joanna, you're such a natural, enthusiastic, honest person. No show off at all!! Enjoy watching your videos a lot! Carry on, please! ;)
Joanna you are really refreshing to watch and portray an extremely pleasant personality that beckons us to just sit and watch whatever it is you're vlogging about. Thanks for posting and please keep it up I, like many others watching, look forward to you posting your videos and hearing your opinions on all things motorcycles. Best Wishes to your Dad and I hope he is able to cope well and the strain isn't too difficult on you and the family. Cheers!!!
Knowledgeable man , that's funny because I'm absolutely sure that you have any one of them beat. Much love for you, best wishes to you and your family.
like you said!....your open and honest....nice to see you back on here....!
I wish more people where like you in this day and age .fortitude and resiliance is great to hear .good on you girl .
I think this medium suits your style of speaking well Jo. Having had severe sleeping problems myself I can empathize with you and your son's situation. I'm glad to hear he's sleeping now. It is tremendously draining to suffer from sleep problems and causes problems for the rest of the house. Looking forward to more vlogs hopefully. Cheers!
Wow your a strong woman JoJo, I'm impressed by how you juggle everything in your life. Best of luck with everything.
JoJo's back!
I love it when you get distracted and not edit it out, so funny
Hi Joanna, I'm learning how to ride a motorbike myself. It's great fun. I like the videos that you put up. The content is very good. Keep up the wonderful work. I don't think you talk to much at all☺️. Looking forward to the next one x
Great episode and thanks for asking my questions. Although now I am wondering what’s not right with you after the comment you made before you answered my question 🤣🤣 keep up the good work. I’m looking at the Hypermotard as a commuter and keep my CBR for weekends
You obviously juggle quite a bit of responsibility. My heart goes out to you and your challenges. My nephew has physical and mental ability obstacles too; and it is a life changing event no one can plan for or appreciate. That you can do all that you do is quite a feet. Wishing all the best for you and your son; i wish you and your family all the best.
I enjoy your sense of humor and perspective on life. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
Hi Joanna, I hope that you and your family all right, keep up the good work
Hey how are you, I'm glad to see you back i miss your video's.
Jo upload all the old stuff if you have time. So sorry to hear about you dad. Hope you get to spend more precious time with him.
Think your positive outlook on life shines through amazingly. Great video. Looks like you wear your heart on your sleeve and the passion for your family and your hobbies I relate completely too. Going round the NC 500 in June on my GSXR. Any advice for touring on a sports bike?
I have to say as I've said before I could listen to your accent all day long, and what makes it even better is your a girl with a brain and there is nothing more attractive than a smart woman with the ability to express herself
Great videos. You are honest and make them fun. Thanks for sharing personal stuff; sometimes it is hard, but it is part of life. So would you tell us about your cool tattoo on your arm, and any others?
Great to see you back and family should come first so no apologize and you also don't need to apologise for rabbiting on ever thought thats what we lobe about it and its you and your honest apinion 👍👍
i cannot wait to hear about your life and triumphs along with the struggles
Aways enjoy your content Jojo, so sorry to hear your dad isn't well. Best wishes. ..
I really liked this video. I say don't change a thing for your Q&A's. I didn't mind the rambling on, and it was cool to learn new things about you. Take care!!
I've just stumbled across your HP4 Carbon frame covers video and I've been intrigued... You're incredible, I've seen your twitter account... I have huge respect for anyone who can juggle work with caring for their family in such an amazing way. Also still finding time to enjoy life and do the things you love like Track days! All that would be left to completely blow me away is if you were a massive Rossi fan...... 😀🤗
Hey, girl, I know what you are talking about. I'm 70 ride every day, I have a scooter for town work & a Yamaha Tracer for trips in the Alps. I go to the local dealers to check out bikes & see the reaction of the dealer when I turn up on my scooter.
A few years ago I went to a local BMW dealer, a young guy who thought I wasn't serious. I went to another dealer in Nice & bought the R 1200 RT, a week later I returned to the young guy to see his reaction, talk about humble pie, I told him he lost a deal with me because of his attitude. Love your channel. Frank.
Hi Joanna, a little bird told me you are presently in Malaga? You are in very good hands, when i was with there in May and had an accident. They were so good and really looked after me in Spain and helped me when I got back to the UK. I have been to Poland several times as my good friend Klaudiusz, is Polish, what an amazing country. You are going to have a blast with my friends over in Spain. Kindest regards. Joe.
Wish you had the time to upload more Jo!! Still this was great, one of the most likeable 👍🏻
Good evening Jo
I would think the fact you expand on all your replies/explanations is what keeps people interested. Hope everything works out going forward with both your son and father.
You mentioned your love for dancing Jo. Funny you say that as you remind me of Laura Cortellemont. Best wishes to your Dad. My grandmother got diagnosed with the same, so need to apologise. 🙏
Loved the video
so true, so practical, so much fun.
Nice video Jo, I'm now a subscriber 👍
Thank you!!! :)
Keep up good work and keep positive,,,,,,,,,, bikes are part of life to enjoy,,,,,,,,your family comes first,,, all the best for future
love your videos
Love watching you .x
In regards to your year old footage, go for it, if you have time and interest!
I understand your free time is precious but if it makes you happy and u enjoy it then why not?
I also have an autistic brother so I know it’s not easy. Do what you have to do. Really sorry to hear about your father, enjoy your time with him.
And if you take a break from CZcams, I for one will be here when you get back 👍 head up 👍
Defiantly upload the footage you've got!
Love your videos, keep doing them! What would your ideal naked bike be for daily riding & tours? Thanks
Cool, keep it going!
Oh yeah, old vids sound good if you think they are worth sharing!
Good to see you back, what camera are you using on this video?
Canon G7X
its so funny when u get distracted while answering the question! :D Don't worry about that dealer thing cuz I'm a guy and i got treated exactly the same way by the dealer's mechanic quite recently so u know happens to all of us, i guess its more about the person u are dealing with :)
Really cool to know more about you
"I'm going to end your suffering here." lol! No need to apologize for anything. Being a mother is the most important role in the world. Everything else comes second. Take Care!
So you'll be at the TT this year? Waiting for 2nd channel. PR guru. Good one
Sorry to hear about your dad Jo, just been through all that myself with my dad. :-(
Renegade I’m so sorry to hear you are going through the same. I hope you are doing as well as you can be.
Big, BIG hugs!
Unfortunately it took him a few months back. I was there every step of the way, day and night. we did everything we could, no regrets. He died a proud dad with me by his side, thats all i could ask for. My head has been all over the place for ages but im slowly getting there.
Appreciate the answer re Europe track days against cost of UK track days. I have done plenty in the UK and yes have experienced our lovely weather. Yet to do a euro one but I keep looking. Any recommendations for first euro track that don't break the bank?
What style of music calms ur heart and soul
I agree, Cresent Yamaha are a bit "Got your money, not my problem" with their aftersales. Where are you going now that's good? Or are you fully converted to BMW?
Cool, great to hear abit about you. Thanks. ☘😊👍
Just has and when you can, can't ask more than that, but more is better.
Sorry to hear of your fathers health. May I ask what cancer he was diagnosed with? You’re a good Mum to your son, it must be quite challenging to accommodate this within a busy life. My wife is of Polish ancestry, a beautiful green eyed lady. Good luck with your future endeavors, although I subscribed because of the motorcycle activity we all know life has more content than just this!
Joanna you are my Polish dream. Stay beautiful and please do more with the Baron!
Do more of what...? ;)
Wow, you've got alot going on , but it sounds like you've got your priorities sorted. Hope all works out.
Wow , it was a great session , it should be captioned as Jojo the untold story , huge fan , massive thumbs up to u , love from India #fanforever
When would you have any video content uploaded to your second channel?
P.S. Your middle name Filomena is such a beautiful name! 👌
Hey Jo, have you ever been to America? Any chance you'll make a moto related trip over here any time? We could show you some great riding in north Georgia. You might also enjoy the huge three day Barber Vintage Motorcycle event in October. The Barber motorcycle museum is the largest in the world and the track is wonderful.
I really do love your accent, it makes me smile every time.
I really dislike it myself, but thank you, it’s nice to hear it makes you smile ☺️
Same! Such a lovely accent
Hey Jo, been working on the bike again or taken up boxing?
Hey how’s the HP4 coming along?
Lovely vid. Never apologise for family time; or any other.
I love your voice.
well to me was 25 minuts of fun !
Great to have more insight into how you earn a living, and i have a younger brother who has autism so any videos about that would be very interesting 🙂. I normally only watch for the bikes and your accent haha👍
So you're getting an FZ-07?
Life is certainly tough at times and when it throws us a curve ball it’s hard but sometimes when we think that’s hard enough life throws us several curve balls all at once and you’re like wtf? 😐 Just gotta keep plodding on 🤙 and you’re doing great 💪👌
the motorbikeshop in north camp jo ?
I wish you would upload more
Yeaah Hypermotard is the best !!
You are just too cute ;-) Love your videos!
Hay Jo! Your a hoot.Just picked up my new sp950 hyper.well 6 months from new.has £4000 of upgrades. Ducati Glasgow belonged to the boss there has single sided termi fitted no dB killer sounds bad ass.dont think it’s that ugly! Keep up the good vids. Enjoy your hyper if your ever up in Perthshire!!!!!'!
Best wishes for your dad...I can see this video is several months old when I'm writing this. I hope his treatment is working. If it isn't, look into GcMAF. I've lost two close family members this year...they stuck to chemo etc, I wish they hadn't.
Unfortunately the treatment didn't work. I lost my dad 5 months ago. We've tried alternative methods as well as chemo, but without success.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I just read back my reply and it sounds very direct. I'm sorry. I'm still finding it very difficult to talk about.
That's ok it didn't come across like that. I'm sorry to have brought it up...I thought the video was more recent than it was. My thoughts are with you and yours.
good videos!!! thanx,come to green hell nürburgring,germany
Hi Joanna, I am an older woman about to purchase my first motorbike and I am very impressed with your reviews on the Kawasaki Ninger650 and Z650 to the point I don’t want to look at anything else. However, like so many other women, there is a MAN in my life who wants me to consider the Triumph Triple Street and I was hoping you have reviewed it or going to review it please so I can get a woman’s perspective please?
Hi Marica, I am SO sorry it took me so long to reply. I only just saw your comment.
First of all, thank you for your kind words. It's nice to see a lady here! As for the man's advice - I think it's always worth taking some of it in, as they are often more experienced than us, BUT it also very important to remember that we very different to men, both physically and mentally. Therefore different factors are important to us. What my 6'4 boyfriend finds small and uncomfortable - I comfortably toured to Italy on (I'm 5'4). What he considers the ultimate, best bike - I felt tiny and overwhelmed on. He likes bikes that are challenging, I like ones that are user-friendly and flattering to ride. Some of the bikes we owned were exact opposites, and yet we were twinning on identical bikes at some point too. It's different strokes for different folks, so my best advice to you is this:
- Figure out what your budget is
- Find all the bikes within this budget, that appeal to you
- Try to get a test ride on them all
- buy the one that leaves you with the biggest smile. You know that uncontrollable giggle that comes from within? If a bike makes you giggle like this, this is THE one.
At the end of the day, you will be riding it, you will be dealing with it and only has to please you. All modern bikes are good, so there's no going wrong here.
Ps. I have ridden the Street Triple, and it did nothing for me. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it either. It just didn't make me giggle. I still giggle every time I ride my HP4. Every. Time.
I really hope it helps a little :) And if I'm late and you're already a proud owner of something, do let me know what it is. Curious to know, and to hear how you're getting on with it :)
Bravo bravissimo! 🤗 You did a good job with these Q&A. Nice video and nice work. Charming yes. But also interesting and of course relevant and professional about motorcycles. As we expect from you. 🤗
What country are you in? I love your energy.
Thanks for sharing. What naked bikes are you considering or have you ridden and you like?
I absolutely love Hypermotard, but seriously considering Super Duke R and Tuono as well.
What is with the fight club knuckles hon? by the way you are very likeable. I am loving the way you speak.
It really is a struggle to find good old cheddar in Poland although i do occasionally find it in Biedronka lol
Never once have I searched for cheddar, so can’t really sympathise with you in this one. Haha!
JoJo - i lost my mother this year to cancer - happy to share some issues that matter during this difficult time.
Thank you for reaching out and I'm so sorry for your loss. In all honesty, I'm finding it all pretty difficult. Time is not helping, if anything, it's making it harder, because I miss Him more everyday.
Joanna F. Benz I can resonate with the emptiness that now exists and that weird feeling of loneliness that also ebbs behind the scenes no matter how beautiful your own family - spouse and siblings may be. Not easy and there is no answer either to make things better - even going away for a break make me feel guilty - weird ehh
