If you’re an urban motorcycling enthusiast who is also connected to the digital realm, then the name of Royal Jordanian should sound familiar. He is a UK-based motorcycle vlogger, and a very good one, too, known for his direct and sometimes blunt way of calling things by their proper name.
We brought you news on his motorcycle theft plight earlier this year, when his Husqvarna Nuda was stolen from the driveway of one of his friends during the short visit he paid him.
Putting this behind (even though having your bike stolen is not exactly easy to cope with), it looks like Royal Jordanian is even more pissed off with people who steal the videos he makes. That is, simply posting them online without crediting him as the author, and in certain cases, even wrongfully and unlawfully claiming they made those videos.
A blunt message delivered the gentleman way
We know Royal Jordanian for his direct way to speak out when needed, so this video does not come as a surprise. Some other fellows, who maybe are a little softer or haven't had to deal with people stealing their work and claim credits for themselves, might consider his message a tad too harsh. Believe us, it is not.
In fact, this video shows how much a gentleman Royal Jordanian is, while at the same time vouching for his creative mind. Flipping the bird may be considered by some as being rude, we'll give them that. Still, we fail to understand how this is more inappropriate than stealing someone's work.
Now, the bad thing is that such a "flip bird solution" has only a moral value, with legal action still being the sole weapon that yields palpable results against content thieves. Still, seeing that rubber glove flipping with such a message on the S1000R is a sight we won't forget anytime soon. Wonder if anyone will pick up the idea to make an exhaust add-on for the market...
