Wow. I can't believe the baron has been identified. Linkedin available, face and voice also company details. I guess we all get identified someway or another by some means.
I think he's OK. Clever bloke. However, I would say quite early on I was thinking jeez the bloke has got a wife and little one on the way and it looks like he's never at home.....for me, it looked like it only could go one way... I love messing with the bikes I've got....I could spend weekend after weekend in the garage and would love to go out during the evenings but I can't. I've got a family and they come first...bikes and riding fit around that and if I don't get to go on them then so be it. For me its been a busy year....went to the TT for 4 days and a day out to the motogp.... That was it...I obviously don't know the whole story and wouldn't expect to. I hope he works out something amicable with his family. As I say, nice bloke and do like watching his vids. Anyway...where's the linked in PIC...
all the info you need is in the iplayer clip. As I have recently been on the sharp end of a nasty identity shit storm, I'll let you figure it out.
TBH I think Baron would rather people didn't point this out to the wider community. Respect his privacy and remove the links?
I don't think he's bothered too much about privacy otherwise he'd not post hours of video footage all over the interentz. The anonymity thing is just a bit of a lark that he plays on to get more coverage.
I can say from experience that a lot of social time biking does cause challenges at home. My ex-wife may be a cheating slag and deserving of many things but it was enlightening when rather than admit her penchant for frequent affairs she divorced me on the grounds on my unreasonable behaviour. Of the causes she cited, my atheism was the best "referring to god as her 'imaginary friend' in public" but I also had "abandoning the family to go biking on a Sunday morning" Baron seems like a pretty good guy and I know from experience that divorce is a brutal time and with children and finances becomes very stressful. Hopefully, he can sort through things and keep up his hobbies.
I really thought people would be going mental and discussing the baron's identity. It's funny, I didn't know people couldn't give a flying.
I know that, but with 96,000 subscribers and one of the most well known motovloggers, I was expecting more of a buzz. I guess he has not pissed off any cyclists, not threatened anybody or caused controversy for people to feel the need to out him.
If it's not him then his voice is remarkably similar to BVG. Personally I don't mind one way or another if it is. It doesn't change my perspective of his videos and knowing his identity, takes nothing away from his abilities to convey a point across albeit behind the mask of his alter ego.
