Love the video, Van! /Best regards, Linus
Got mine in the mail yesterday. Great quality and looks good! The best part is my initials are M.S. So it makes me feel like I'm that much more of a Spirited Man.
Best looking merch yet for sure💯
Van- do you do much with other people or are you mostly in your head?
Van- I think a percentage of people relate to you because they are also living life in their own short story-keep on
Like I always said, his videos are like therapy to me
Neistats: ‘Story is everything.’
Also Neistats: *make an engaging, uplifting story that tickles the soul out of practically anything/nothing*

Actually edit is everything
Having grown up on the East coast in the 80’s, the diner was our home away from home. Thanx for the ride, Van, really enjoyed it!
“Ventura Highway in the sunshine. Where the days are longer. The nights are stronger than moonshine. You’re gonna go, I know”
I love this video - there's a sense that you've departed a little from the recent formula - not in a a bad way, and maybe due to circumstances. But I really love what's going on in this film. thanks.
It’s finally getting cold enough that I can wear my Spirited Man sweater. Thanks for everything, Van.
your welcoem
Thank you, Van. You are a poet. And that drone sequence was beautiful.
"It begins with a remembered line from a long forgotten poem."
Beautiful line there
There's a true genuine tone that I always indulge on when I watch your vids. This made my day and I take comfort in your storytelling.
This Spirited man does the same thing as Van. Writing or engraving torque setting 0:31 or more often wrench size 1:31 next to the bolt on the product. Massive time saver.
Thanks for pointing that out. I’m going to start doing this.
I laughed when you explained who Eric Burden is, I forget there are young people watching this. 🤣 Your story telling along with the bike ride made this a great video to watch, actually I'm going to watch it again because it was that entertaining 👍😎👍
And also people not from the US
@@dustyoldhat That was my thought. It took me a few seconds to get them straight. He was just talking about Chris Burden recently, wants to buy his property.
@@thearchive64 Or bloody Newcastle mate ;)
I don't know who Eric Burden is and I'm 54 years old, lived in America all my life. But I do know the song very well. condescending, "type before you think" comments are the forgetful easy parts.
@@dustyoldhat I know, went way over your head. Go back to sleep.
This video feels like the essence of both living in the moment and reminiscing about the past to me. It has something extremely meditative and relaxing about it, yet it's extremely entertaining to me. Great video!
This video cured my headache after a bad week. Thanks.
Thanks for this. For some reason, people don’t talk about bad weeks, bad days or bad moments. It’s almost cliche in today’s society.
I’m waiting for lab results to find out if I have a rare blood cancer and it’s been a challenge. I have the mindset that it is what it is and I am blessed no matter what, but there are still hard days and a constant weight in my chest.
I ordered the Die Trying hoodie and will wear it with pride.
Keep doing what you do.
Hey friend, what were the lab results? I hope you're OK.
came by to say hopefully everything is ok! stay strong!
Van, This video is amazing. Your “Bad Week” simple video is exactly what we’re all here for. Your cameras falling over, and mundane chores are exactly why I watch for some reason. Your honesty. Thank you. My life keeps getting more functional and organized thanks to these videos. I feel more normal thanks to you… or more comfortable with my uniqueness.
Yeah you know, I was just thinking about the diner near my apartment back in NYC. It was a greek diner. The front was filled with fresh baked cakes and cookies. I always went for the breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage and homefries. With black coffee and a few slices of buttered toast. I live out of US now so , yeah no greek diners. I always think back how happy it was just to eat breakfast inside that diner.
This is the kind of TH-cam I love. Thank you Van!
The simplicity of your art is beautiful Van. Keep making content for the world to enjoy. Thank you!
Love your videos! Thanks for putting them out.
well that was so beautiful i could cry. I'll be reading those stories. And i'll perhaps be making my way out to the coast again soon.
So beautiful Van. The simplicity does something to calm my anxious mind and inspire me at the same time.
This feels like total immersion Van! thank you for sharing this.
I've enjoyed watching all your videos but this one I will watch and rewatch many times, thank you, Van!
This is brilliant, thanks for the masterclass in filming yourself with multiple cameras, but especially the storytelling around LA!
"Crummy crappy week " And then camera falling down was so perfectly in sync..too good van...
"All my life, my heart has sought a thing, I cannot name." Now it's my favorite line too❤️
That was so meditative. Just what I needed. It's been a stressful period in my life, and now I miss my motorcycle. Those moments going out without a plan and just getting lost on the bike were magical.
*YES MORE NEISTAT CONTENT*
Your videos inspire me in a way I can't really put into words. The way you view life inspires me. Beautiful storytelling through and through.
It's like I went to high school with this guy and I just now rediscovered him after only hearing about him randomly over the years.... Like... I ran into him in a diner kinda thing. I don't know what this channel is... But I freaking love it....... What a cool dude....
Man, this episode was like poetry. The best kind.
Three thumbs up.
More, more of this! This was fantastic. Can we just get cool visuals like this while Van tells us stories? This and the podcast build episode are just perfect.
I also had a bad week. Thank you for making this video, makes me feel better when I can relate. Love the vids man keep it up. Sending love from Finland
Thank you for uploading this. You are a great storyteller. Sorry for the terrible week, I hope things got better. I enjoyed listening to the stories as we went on a virtual motorcycle ride.
Your best video so far! Thanks for your thoughts and the pinch of freedom.
One of my best friends just sent me this and it’s topped off the end of my week!
Thank you man! X
Yeah Van! I appreciate what you do mate. Always a pleasure to get the notification of a new video from you.
The spirited man should never use a torque wrench to loosen nuts. The torque wrench is a calibrated tool for precise tightening of fasteners only.
my thoughts well written , I'm a mechanic I cringed
Unless you are worried about stripping the threads then using a torque wrench to undo would be a good idea!
@@MarcusTDM never use a torque wrench to undo fasteners. Period. Ever. Not a matter of stripping anything it’s about screwing up the calibration of the tool.
@@MarcusTDM never use a torque wrench for anything other then tightening a fastener
@@jeremyproctor9671 Just for the record, I wouldn’t use one to do this as decent torque wrenches cost a lot of money, but i perhaps he doesn’t care to much!
Awesome video! Not only did I learn some things, but it was nice and mellow, which was perfect this morning. Good stuff Van
Haven"t even watched yet but exactly what I needed, Thank you Van
I feel blessed whenever you upload, Van. Thank you for this.
Genuine Content. Content where I listen and in turn I gain something I didn’t have before. Thank you for these lessons. I have plenty more to learn.
That’s a great video. I really like your writing. Your rythme and those footages it’s poetic. Thanks for the ride
I love love love every bit of your storytelling, Van!!! I offer you a sincere, "Thank you!"
Your best episode yet.
-Thanks, from South Korea
Good vibes to you, Van. Thanks for the journal entry. Spirited men are appreciative of considerations on most topics. A few years ago, Casey's shared how his vlog formula helps fill in the gaps. Hope to see you along the journey.
Hands down, my favorite episode! Fantastic!!!!
I think this is my favorite video that you've done. I'm going to take this idea to my skiff tonight and try to describe how I feel about these rows I do on the St Lawrence River. Thanks!
I'm soothed watching and love that I drive almost this same route to be soothed.
Patty's in Studio City was my diner with endless midnight coffee.
Brilliant! More of these type videos. It's therapeutic.
Got a die trying sweater when the last came out and I’ve already gotten it! Great quality and super soft on the inside! Ready for Texas to cool down a little more. Plus your logo is my initials so it works even better
That TRANSITION edit though! 4:42
Totallly loved this video. Cinematography and especially the narration. I truly look forward to your videos… thank you so much for sharing your art.
I don’t rewatch TH-cam videos NEVER 👎 but I have rewatched some of yours I find them fascinating the thought process the care the attention to detail and details not chosen to be attended to
Having just come home from one of the worst nights of work in a long time. I have to say thank you Van. I feel like I was with you on that ride. I don't know if you even read the comments section but this video made a terrible night end better. Thanks.
brilliant video Van. Was thinking of you when I headed down the PCH from Monterey and cut east north of LA. The 1987 Goldwing got me from PA to CA, then CA to Albuquerque. Stator fried in that 117 Cali valley heat. Damn good ride. Saw that LA county sign just about a month ago!
Every video is just so good you try with your videos they make me forget about any sadness in the world and I thank you with my whole heart.
I had a bad week as well. Watching this helped mellow me out. Thanks Van.
There is something therapeutic about this episode. Thanks Van.
Loved it. Loved the calmness. Loved the grandeur of those mountains. Loved the ride on that smooth bike. Loved the calming voice narration. Loved it.
Might not want to use your torque wrench as a breaker bar... can throw off your torque settings. :) Ride on!
Only if you go passed the click. Turn up the tourque and it will be fine.
You are a true artist,Van. This was beautiful. Hope all is well ✌✌
I have subscribed ever since Casey had a video about you. I have seen every video you have graced us with. When I watch I always feel like a way cooler and smarter friend is visiting me and sharing his adventures. Keep sharing friend.
What an incredible peace of art
More like this please. What a beautiful video.
WOW. I did not want that to ever end. A perfect accompaniment to my cuppa tea
I lived in Malibu in the late 70s /early 80s and this ride brought back a lot of memories. Thank you.
sorry you had a bad week!.. thanks for another beautiful movie to watch
the peaceful, tranquil vibes this video expresses is just what i needed
Riding can be such a therapeutic experience. This video captures that thought process incredibly well.
Thank you for your time Van.
Was not prepared for this. It‘s beautiful. Someday i‘ll be riding in these Mountains… thank you from 🇩🇪
More of these videos please. Thank you for doing what you are doing and keep doing.
I love this video. You showed such a unique experience from your perspective with so much depth and character.
Rosies Diner! I grew up out in gales ferry. I always went to Norms though. always fun seeing references to that small town area of ct in you and caseys videos. thanks for the nostalgia.
Amazing. Loved it.
These are so relaxing. Keep going!
I was crying when I clicked play. Now I'm calm as ever. Thanks
I'm two days late, but I love watching your videos because of your video production skills. Keep it up, Van!
4:56 has to be the most relatable clip ever 😂 My town of FULL of roads, avenues, streets, and boulevards all with the same name!!
Thanks for the ride, buddy.
It was like I was riding alongside with you, such a therapeutic film, more of those please 🙏👌
Hope next week is better for you, thanks for the ride.
Thanks for sharing this Van. I too, have had a rough week this week. Instead of trying to work off the stress, I think I'll go for a drive instead :)
Calories, horsepower, memories, music and poetry. A heady mix.
I love when you make videos like these
Thanks for the trip Mr. Neistat
Really strong video.
Beautiful. Loved watching this… thank you
Watching this I imagine Hunter Thompson on that road on his BSA 650 Lightning. I appreciate this video.
The Angeles Crest Highway was my vice of choice for the past six years, my daily commute to work until Covid. The morning drive was always a moment of zen during the climb over the mountain pass and into Los Angeles. Often, the Spirited Man motorcycle diaries remind me of these meditative moments that I always experienced but could never do them justice by explaining them to someone else. Your videos, but most importantly the voiceover narration, always remind me of these drives and the ideas I got to explore before I had to step back into the real world and tackle the grind. Thank you for another great episode!
Such great storytelling! These are the best videos… so much art and human-nes. Love it!
Love these vids, take care
From Groton. Love to hear it mentioned here. Met Casey back in 2013 at Ledyard High. Keep up the content man!
Keep the good work, Van! Love from Brazil!
As a man from the analog world as well as the digital, and driving those roads everyday myself, I really loved this. Thank you.
Hope this week improves for ya Van, but thanks for a beautiful slice of artwork. Out of bad things can come something beautiful this is a case in point....
What a good video for Friday , thanks Van
Its very simple. I see a Van video. I click
Great work Van, I’m an east coast guy of a similar age and Diner’s hold that same place in my heart. I’ve ridden the PCH, for me it was the universe cancelling my flight due to a snow storm. That of course means heading strait to the nearest motorcycle rental shop and riding up and down the PCH for two days in January. Fortunately I’m from Maine so January on the coast of California feels like spring in Maine. Good memories made.
