There are 30,000 of us wishing you well and cheering you on ......
I couldn't wish for anything more :-) My biker family has been the driving force behind my achievements!
@@SaffySprocket well you've inspired me to sort out my camping gear and start going out a couple of times a month instead of just sitting on my fat bum watching TV when I'm not at work. I've found that I sleep far better in a tent after a bit of adventure than I do in my own bed.
With me is 31000 🤭
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤@@SaffySprocket
@@stevewesley3841 People really overlook the benefits of camping on your body clock! I'm usually a night owl, but when I'm alone in nature I always rise and sleep with the sun
I'm a 54 year old man thar never comments, but this video had me in floods of tears. You have to believe this, but you are inspirational. Getting knocked down happens to us all but the strong not only get back up again but thrive and make progress. You have been lower than most, and soared higher than most and the world NEEDS to hear your laughter again. You are not alone, please never be afraid to ask for help from your personal cheerleaders, we are not only here to watch your life, but to help in anyway we can. We live vicariously through you, so we need you as much as you need us.
Be fierce and inspirational x
I concur, completely. I really liked this video.
As a 30 year motorcycling Paramedic, with 20 of that at the TT, I know bikes can so easily take lives. However, I also know that bikes can be a "lifesaver" for so many and keep them sane, grounded and in control. I feel sorry for people who go through their whole lives without ever experiencing what riding a motorcycle can give you.
If you die on a bike or other circumstances its just karma! Taking stupid risks can speed up such bad karma. Stay safe, ride free, live forever like Highlander.
Your last sentence tells it all. Pity non-riders don’t understand that feeling.
True!
I never realised how much you’ve been through, you’re such a strong and amazing person and an inspiration. So glad to see you back ❤
It's more common than you think! People need to open up more!
Good to hear good news from you. Thanks.....🎉
Saffy, I'm an old grumpy bastard who's back in the lowest points. However, I've followed you because of your beautiful honesty for your highs & lows. I've forwarded this to my 19 year old daughter, to show her how she can overcome her stress. You have an inner strength that is wonderful to watch. I've been homeless, I came back & got my degree, married (divorced now 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️), 2 wonderful children (now adults). Thank you for being so honest & you. Never change, you are the best 👍❤️
Poignant. I'm in a similar difficult position in life. I came back to owning a motorcycle after a mere 40 years, and every ride out into the countryside just charges my batteries. I had forgotten the simple but sheer joy of the whoosh and sweep along a nice country lane. I have started a - very - modest YT channel, and although I slip in the odd non motorcycle video, it is primarily about just having a motorcycle. The Zen of it all.
I'm old, my health is sadly failing, so adventures around Europe are a non-starter, my camera equipment is basic, and yet while I can, I enjoy my bike and I am alive instead of just existing and struggling.
So, a very relevant and poignant video you have made, here, that will resonate with many like-minded souls.
I started with a £20 knock off action camera, a mobile phone that had more cracks than a volcano and no biking experience. You do not need to buy expensive equipment, you just need to focus on enjoying the moment and not spending money on gear! Everything else will naturally fall into place
@@SaffySprocket"more cracks than a volcano" 😂
When your going through hell just keep going. Ive been there, I have lost everything and crawled out the hole, Im still building things up now with a youtube channel and riding my bike every second I get, on road and off road, UK and into europe every year often riding alone, you cant beat it. Well done for the hard work and ploughing forward.
Well said Craig,I've hardly done any riding in the past year and I need to make up for it 👍👍
Never be afraid to ask for help Saffron, as you have so many friends who care about you so much, i am sure you do not realise this but it is definitely true.
LOL
I'm so lucky to have so many friends who looked after me! Sometimes pride gets in the way though :-) But my circle of friends grew and grew very quickly when I became a biker!
There is always help and support in the biking community, this is only a blip, you will recover from this and will emerge stronger than ever, reach out Saffy, and another chapter begins xx ❤
Just a little note!
When I saw you had posted something new, I genuinely thought, oh good Saffy's back!
I just watched this video. And I am sorry. I am a biker, and friend too. I also know what it means to be broke, or struggling otherwise. So to use your network of people you know will help a lot. Life of Brian "always look on the bright side of life"... Yeah right. Not always that easy... But...
it baffles me that a person who's been through depression and dark times lik you Saffy ends up to be a bundle of sunshine and joy. keep doing what you're doing
That's easy, because those who feel like that are funny and crazy and humorous because they know what the dark feels like and don't want anyone else to feel like that 🙏🏻
@@kevindarkstarbelieve me not all of the people who suffered turned out to be like her. I’ve seen the opposite that’s why it surprised me
@@MrDosSantos991 oh yeah I understand that, I simply meant that people like Robin Williams knew what the depth of depression was and worked hard to make others laugh so as not to feel as he felt 👍🏻
@@kevindarkstarLight up the darkness.
Welcome back Saff.... we've all missed you so much. Hope you are fully healed. I can relate to losing your sister. I lost my brother just before Christmas the year before last. Ironically he left me some money and I spent it on a motorbike, found you and UsernameKate on here and you both became my inspiration to get out there and enjoy life. I owe you so much. Keep your chin up, keep giggling and being a nutter and we will all get through anything life can throw at us, good and bad. Ride Safe. Be Safe.
You keep fighting Saffy! We all love you and I’m so very proud of you for all you’ve done, are doing and will continue to do. It’s weird I’m a 53 year old man from Australia and I have a father’s pride in everything you do. I know there’s many of us that watch your channel that feel like you are family. Take care, stay strong and remember we all love you champion.
Ive been riding since i was 17, im now 57 but ive had problems with my legs for 3 years. I didnt realise just how depressed i was until i managed to ride my bike to the MOT garage 2 weeks ago. Wow what a feeling. No more depression and its nice to see its still pissing down with rain!😂
Chumbawamba - "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You are never gonna keep me down".
You're doing great, Saffy. Keep the faith 👍
Great song that ahahah
We're not judged by how we fall, but by how we get up. You're a born survivor Saffy and a great inspiration to other people going through hard times. I wish I could be as candid and as honest as you.
Beautiful, I think all your followers want to give you a comforting hug now.
You are an inspiration to so many and a shining light on the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit. Ride safe and know that so many people are living their lives vicariously through your endeavours.
Good to have you back Saffy, just be true to yourself and try to enjoy life.❤
Thank you so much :D
Lots of love from India🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋@@SaffySprocket
Life is like a motorbike trip. Its not the destination thats important....its the journey thats wonderful. Keep pushing on. We are all behind you.
The good thing about being all the way down is there is no place to go but up; and nothing holding your back. You have nothing to loose. Sometimes you are trapped by the things you have.
YES! There is so much power when you are in a place where you have nothing to lose. Looking back it was an amazing time in my life, it was a time when I could have become anyone. It's hard to appreciate that when you're so busy focusing on short term worries
5:18 I feel so spoiled if I listen to this infectious laughter that I only seem to be able to enjoy accelerating hard on an expensive and very powerful motorcycle. You are blessed.
That was such a raw, moving, heartbreaking but hope inspired piece of film. Thank you for having the courage to be so honest. You'll never know how many people you've made a difference to by sharing that.
Saffy, a truly inspirational and honest video. Had me in tears. I am a 60 plus guy with 3 daughters, I would be truly proud of you if you were one of mine. Keep on riding!
Keep it up, very honest and touching video!✌
it looks like donations are not welcome, not even a response 😂
@@curtis164she’s literally posted about what she’s going through at the minute and the first chance to take a swipe at her you do. Hope you feel proud of yourself.
@@NickyLong89 In my opinion, you can still say thank you when you receive support, even if you are in a dramatic personal situation. This has something to do with respect and good upbringing. If there is enough time to produce a CZcams video, you can at least leave a short feedback to the monetary supporters. That's how I was raised. I think everyone has been in a miserable situation in their life and hopefully had people to help them. Would it be your behavior to accept help and not even say thank you?
@@curtis164 I’m sure she hasn’t done it on purpose. I like to see the best in people rather than instantly think the worst in people. You should try it.
Welcome back flower, pleased to see you rock up on here again. I've said for many years that bikes are so good for mental health. The doctor should prescribe a ride to the coast 👍
It's good to be back :-)
Brilliant. 👍
Nice to have you back Ms Sprocket ⚙️
Do we have a new bike ? ❤
back on Rocket :D! @@AlunChurcher
Bloody Hell wasn't expecting that, all emotional now, I just want to give you a big hug, and tell that me and no doubt many thousands who watch your crazy adventures are rooting for you.
I'm a biker and the love of biking is amazing. Your story touched me. Your an amazing lady glad you're full of life now
Thank you so much for your kind words! Biking really is something special, isn't it? It's more than just a mode of transportation - it's a lifestyle, a passion, a freedom unlike any other. I'm truly grateful to be back on two wheels and feeling alive again.
Saffy, what a rollercoaster this video was...... I've been following your channel for years now and you inspired me to get my bike licence, and have been riding for a year now. You're always an inspiration, through the ups and downs you keep smiling, and I hope you know how important you are to the biking community! We've missed you and hope you're ready to come back!
Wow! I had no idea that this is how you started! This is the most amazing, inspiring and genuine video I’ve ever watched. Thank you 🙏🏻 and congratulations on all you amazing achievements! Keep being you miss sprocket! 🥰
Thank you so much! I can't wait to see where this next year takes me!
@@SaffySprocket I saw you at the NEC last year I really wish I’d said hi but you looked busy and I was so nervous, I hope your there this year, I’d love to get you a red bull and chat bikes 🤞🏻
Thank you for letting us share your journey, all the sad, lonely, happy and crazy times you’ve spent on the road.
You are amazing, you are the phoenix 💪 bless you Saffy xx
Maybe this is only another comment more, but I felt touched by this video. And perhaps that’s why I love your channel, you are real, with your ups and downs, struggles and victories and you share it with us as it is. I remembered being in similar situations, no money, no food, no hope. I had to sell many things (including my bike) and look for better luck in a different country, leaving family and friends behind. Never stop fighting and never stop doing what you like the most, in one way or another. If you follow your passion, everything will be fine. Thanks for sharing this with us and for being an inspiration. I hope all settle down for you and you find the happiness you deserve.
I ride for the feeling of complete freedom. And the mental peace that a nice ride brings me. Ride safe, everyone.
I usually don't comment, but before watch your video I only have 1 thing to say... Incredible history for an amazing girl, you are inspirational keep going on.
Good to see you back, stronger than ever! Your family must be proud.
I'm glad to be back 😊
The guts and courage it has taken to film this, never mind actually publishing it, is incredible and should not be underestimated... You're doing amazing, you are amazing, keep going Saffy! As others have said the only way is up... You truly are an inspiration for others as I hope you can see from all the messages people have left. You've certainly given me a kick up the arse....
Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊😊
I am so glad you exist. Thank you Saffy.
T____T You are so sweet!
Stand back , take a breath , look how far you’ve come 😊 , take a bow young lady , everyone’s friend the ever smiling Saffy ❤
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Saffy. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming video. You have overcome such adversity to be in a better place in your life and became a better and lovely person for it. You are indeed an inspiration for overcoming depression, tragedy and homelessness to become such an inspiring role model. I lost my mom 6 years ago and I can relate to losing someone close to you. Love you Saffy and never give up and you will always be a great lady. Glad to have you back. ♥💋
I hope it can give others the courage to keep going ❤️ It's not uncommon to have a bad time as much as social media makes us think everyone's life is all rainbows
@@SaffySprocket Totally Saffy. It is not everyday that we see videos that show realness and humility whereas most motorcycle videos are mostly for show...and not much else. You are indeed wonderful. ♥
Good to see you back saffy, hope you're well 👍
I'm glad to be back :-)
Car is safe thrn bike yea @@SaffySprocket
Been watching you for a while - picked up my SV650 on Saturday and at 34 years old it's the first thing I've genuinely been happy about.... :)
Best bike ever, you won't regret it!
I was not expecting this to be such a raw yet uplifting video. What an amazing and terrible journey. Thank you for sharing it with all of use and everyone of the 75k people who watched this video so far...they are all cheering you on.
Hi Saffron so nice to see you back, hope all is good and you are on the mend now, look forward to watching you especially as the weather is slowly starting to be a little better now. As always Saffron take care and ride safe.😊
What a great story. I could recognize myself in it more than one time, and I am happy to say that I can embrace the "very thing that kept me together all these years" just as much as you do. We are lucky people, dear Saffy. All the best for your future! Love G
You’re more special and stronger than you probably know, you get knocked down you get back up I think that’s fantastic and inspirational.
Everybody has a story. Thanks for sharing yours, Saffy. Sorry to hear about the tragedy in your life but glad to see you overcome it. Keep your dream alive and keep on riding. Love from Australia 🇦🇺, Andy
Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰 I'm excited for this next chapter of my life ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well done Saffy, great to see you back - we've missed you x
Thank you for your story Saffy. You are a genuine, real and good person. Life is hard work seasoned with a relatively small amount of pure luck.
It's the sad times that break us but they are also the times that make us. Hang in there Saffy, you're a star. Keep biking..
Life is a rollercoaster 🌟🎢 even the bad times are worth living
Great to have you back Saffy. Never give up, keep getting back up more determined than before. Hope your recovery is going well, looking forward to the next chapter of your journey ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 . Laughter is the best medicine.
Great to see ye back saffy , keep smilin , and keep her lit, we've missed ye 👍🏍
I've NEVER commented on ANY you tube video, I'm an old hack that's travelled the world, hardened to life via various situations. You're story, you're enthusiasm for life, is inspirational.
You are a star, shining brighter than any other. You broke an old hardened heart!..... Everyday is a school day. Stop learning! Stop living.
Thank you so much 😭 I was so nervous to share my story but it felt like the right time!
I cannot say anymore than what has already been said, but thank you for sharing your trials and tribulations with us. We never know what people have had to endure to reach the place where they are. It's so good have you back Saffy.😀👍🏍
This is a great life lesson :-) you don't know other people's stories, and even if you do, their decisions are always half chance, it's important to be kind for this very reason. I remember once having a women be very rude to me in a queue, later that day after hiking I walked into a public toilet to find her crying because her daughter had died. Her rudeness wasn't excusable but it made me realise sometimes people have bigger things going on in their life and their bad actions to you aren't always intentional
You touched my heart. Thanks, guess I needed a good happy cry this morning. I hope the world for you.
Aw, your comment just made my day! I'm so glad I could bring a little happiness to your morning. Sending you all the good vibes and positivity right back! 😊💖
Emotional and inspirational journey of all you've been through. So glad you're back, have missed your videos and the joy in them. Motorcycles are life!
Dam, I couldn't even get through the first 5 mins of that. Had me in tears. I'm so sorry for all you have been through. Make me realise how luck we all are. I'll be back to watch the rest once I've regained composure.
You are a strong woman and you truly gives us as followers a very big smile every-time we saw your videos, stay strong and God bless🙏
Thank you so much!
I have been riding for 45 years, the only constant in my life has been that there was always a motorcycle in one shape or form. My motto has always been, never give up on your dreams. When all else fails a ride out, a small trip or long always gives you the freedom and the reason to believe that we are so fortunate to be able to ride a motorcycle it stirs the passion and enables you to remember why you are alive.
Beautiful, mad , sad and addictive. Keep putting one foot infant of the other. We are all looking forward to seeing more
I tried for years to get my father to understand why i love motorcycles.
I never got him to understand. So we never got on.
But you just said everything I tried to tell him in 12 minutes of video.
This video has made me feel a lot better, now and always knowing, i am not the only one, who loves motorcycles.
I watched your vid, ...and was truly heartbroken by the struggles you have endured. I have been a biker for 44 years, and i know where your heart is, all true bikers do. I so hope your luck changes for the better, and remember, its not weak or a failure to ask for help, this and the biking community will come to you aid if you shout loud enough. Take care, and ride safe!😊
Dear Saffy, this has so cheered me, inspired me....I'm at the older end of life, post illness I've struggled with my direction, I'dalways been a doer and go get type...but you've reminded me it's not over and it's all for me out there....just got to dust myself off again...love and blessings to you and thank-you.🙏🙏🙏
You are incredibly brave and strong to be sharing this.
There are a lot of us wishing you well.
Keep that lovely smile going when you can.
No you got me in the feels again! I wish nothing but the best for you. ❤
Glad you're back!
Watching your videos genuinely inspires me to ride my motorcycle. I've only ridden it a few times since I've got it, but going back through your videos and watching your journey is really uplifting to see.
Take your time with your recovery if you need to, but as long as you have the drive, you will always have an audience here.
Watching this nearly had me in tears, i struggle with confidence and often feel everything around me is goin wrong but when im on my bike the thoughts fade away even just for a few minutes of enjoyment. How you have kept going and found happiness is amazing and an inspiration for many including myself. Ride safe ❤
Everything is always going wrong, on and off the bike, but the next time something goes wrong, narrate the problem like I would on an episode, and you'll realise how funny the bad times can be!
@@SaffySprocket shame you're up north, would love to take a ride with you, positive vibes only and just enjoy the time 🙂 hope you're keeping well 😊
Im glad that you're feeling better and it's always nice to see you back 😁
Don't ever stop Saffy, I can't say how much you make me smile❤
You are an absolute inspiration to so many, keep going, you will achieve great things, there is so much love for you out there. I'm 55 this year and you are doing all the things I wish I had had the balls to do when I was younger. Keep smiling and ride safe.
Thank you so much!!
Glad to see you back and love the honesty👍
Welcome back and keep up the good work. You're such an inspiration
Your BEST Vlog so Far, You are absolutely amazing, you have achieved so much. You have done the hard bit already, showing yourself that way out. No matter how many times life throws you these bad moments you have proved to yourself that you can always get back to a much better place. One foot in front of the other, little steps and you will be back but better than ever. You are truly AMAZING .
Onwards and upwards young lady, you are an inspiration to us all!
Thank you so much!
Glad to see you back! Thanks for sharing and keeping looking up
We are all here for you Saffy, we all love you and your videos and will stand by you all the way, you're an incredible woman and an inspiration to so many ❤
30000+ Sprocketeers rooting for you Saffy.
Im prevented from riding a bike by spinal injuries ( thought a Tri-city would work out but nah) so relying on channels like yours and the car to enjoy the open road.
Keep strong Saffron, great you are back. 🎉
I was wondering the other day when you'd be back after your accident and here you are! Great to see you back and riding a bike on our own or with friends is the best therapy. May your journeys continue and remember to take us with you 👍👍
So good to see you back, and thanks for sharing your amazing story. ❤
You are the sunshine for so many other people out there. Your strength is exceptional. I have followed you all the way since your first vlogs and look forward to many, many years to come. 😊
So happy to see you back, you certainly have had it tough. I'm just glad you fought through the dark times & are on the road to happier times. You are such an inspiration to a lot of your viewers. Not many could have gone through what you have, & been so positive at the end of it. Watching this vlog, I just wanted to reach in & give you a hug & tell you, you are not alone. Thousands of us are here for you.
I'm really looking forward to watching your next adventure, & hearing you infectious laughter. Keep up the great work. Keep the shiny side up.
Travelers are a strange species. We are going through so much hardship, always get the feeling that the society outcasts us. And yet we are driven by curiosity, sympathy, and love. Love hand in hand with our strong faith that in the end of our endless adventures our reward is going to be freedom. The most precious gift that anyone can get. Freedom.
God bless you all my fellow travelers, I know we are going to meet on the road, I can't wait to hear all of your stories, share my meal, or just laugh together with you. Godspeed.
That brought a few tears, very relatable, well done you x
Hang in there Saffy. Your content is cheerful and enjoyable, always to see wholesome travel / bike videos.
Thank you so much for your support!
You're never alone as a biker Saffy, good Bikers will always help another biker, we're all just friends that are yet to meet.
Never worry about asking for help or support.
Well done on perseverance through unmanageable tough times.
Ride, enjoy, smile, repeat!
Well done saffy tough times behind you , just keep being yourself it's great to watch
It breaks my heart to see you sad and thoughtful. You are a wonderful person and a splendid woman like the sun, like an angel. Your laughter is a poem that inspires anyone. I send you a big hug
Great to see you back ,sounds like you have been through so much. The night are now getting lighter and the weather soon is getting better . When you get back riding your bike you will soon get back the great feeling of the freedom and happiness your bike brings you. Those giggles will soon come back ❤
Great to have you back Saffy thank you for sharing your story ps you are doing great never forget that 🎉
You've been on an amazing journey and thank you for taking us along with you for ride.
Wow Saffy, thanks for the raw honesty. Brought a tear to the eye. Big hug to you. Wishing you health and happiness.
Thank you for providing inspiration.
We all struggle, some days more than others, other days we are in a blissful place.
I never realised you had been through so much. But credit to you for been honest.
I’ve always enjoyed watching your vlogs. I might not have seen everyone but I hope you can find the strength to keep going.
It’s almost definitely a true credit to you girl. You should be really proud of what you have achieved so far. We all know there’s more to come ❤
Aww bless you Saffy! You have such a strong spirit in you, and even when the chips are down you've already proven to yourself you can get through things. You don't have to prove anything to us.
We are with you every step and every mile of the way, even through our own hardships. Together we'll help each other, you just have to ask!
Wishing you well whatever you're up to ⭐️
🏍💨💨
You’re a trooper, keep doing what you’re doing, we’re all behind you!
Take the nocks take the hits, the laughs the tears the love the heartbreak . Keep pushing forward because one day you look
in the mirror and a old person is staring back at you saying ," what a ride that was ". A life filled with amazing memories
a life lived with passion and excitement. Stick with it young lass its a long journey and you have a memory bank and a heart
to fill up.
Excellent video .👍
Saffy, you are one tough lady and so determined and driven yet soft and caring, you my dear are amazing to go through all that and to just keep going. I wish you all the best in everything you do, keep reaching for the stars 😊
Thank you so much!
Great to see you back saffy, the only way is up. We are all behind you girl x
Welcome back Saffy, keep on going and never give up ❤
There's no doubt about it, motorcycling really is great therapy. When I am on my bike I forget all of the current problems for a while and it gives me the vital space needed to build up the strength to eventually tackle and beat life's problems. Well done Saffy for keeping going.
Welcome back!😊 You’re an absolute inspiration to all bikers! 👍
so happy to see you back well done you got this !
Thank you so much!
Good to see you back Saffy! Girl power 🎉
Thank you so much :D! I'm so glad to be back!
