There are so many 'how to', 'which is best', 'what to buy' motorcycle videos nowadays, that it's detracted from what IS the essence of motorcycling...FREEDOM! I'm 61 and have never forgotten the connection I had with all of my bikes...not necessarily because of the bikes themselves, but where and how they took me to different places. I had just as much fun on my first ever bike...a 1974 CB125 Honda as I did on my last one...a 2004 Suzuki GSX1400! I would often ride alone to no place in particular, with no fairing, an open face helmet and the wind and nature as my constant companions. A had a connection with all my bikes, they became an extension of me...and that's part of the joy of motorcycling. If I found some fellow, like-minded riders, then I would gladly ride with them to no place in particular. These days, everything seems to be programmed for us, GPS, electronic gadgets and 'THINGS' we simply MUST have to survive! I say no to that...not that they're bad or anything, I just refuse to be reliant on them. I Choose FREEDOM instead! So, Get out on your motorcycle and ride to no place in particular...there you'll find your truest self! Congrat's to the riders who made this film... you seem to have encapsulated the essence of motorcycling...FREEDOM!.
Totally agree with you mate, however nowadays we've got cameras all over are roads monitoring are everymove, big brother is watching mate, I agree just get out and ride 100%agree enjoy, but we are being watched, George Orwell 1984.. Keep on keeping on, ride safe. 🤘👍
I have been riding since l turned 16 and got my license...never been of ever since..lost friends, crashed and burned from time to time...but l always got myself back in the sadle...28 years with a tent on the back and still love the life on a bike....not as crazy as back then...but the passion are alive...
I still have my 1976 Triumph T140V Bonneville 750 I love her dearly. I also have a 2015 Harley-Davidson FLHP Road King Police, which I rode today. I turned 67 last March 2017 and I plan on riding until I can't hold up my machine, even then I will re-attach my side car and ride some more. Hopefully well into my 90's.
Good on you mate !!!!, dont stop riding sir ,dont stop riding .73 is just a number ,your only as old as you feel .be safe on the road .respect sir respect
I mean that's the spirit my mate.. I'm 81 and still go out on solo trips camping by the lake/beaches on my 1976 royal Enfield.. and I never feel that I'm aging old or anything.. my bike keeps my youth alive.
At first I was like "Uh, I got stuff to do, I don't want to watch the full video right now... Let's add it to my watch later list, and watch the first minute." 18 minutes later, I'm still here ! The video was so strong ! I really can feel through my screen the spirit of these boys, riding together in the wild !
I turned a 106 yesterday, saw a F16 flying over my head while out riding my Honda R1 ironhead at Erzberg rodeo and decided to race the jet. Nearly won too but the special high octane fuel I import from the south pole jammed up my carburetor and I lost. But this won't stop me from riding until I am 86 years old. Love the video. Keep it up.
I just turn 67 and had 46 bikes.. love them all just change them to discover new riding and handling I wish I could keep them all..I intent to have more .. from your video I could feel you are right. no matter what kind of bike you have just riding is wonderful..
Claude Côté , hi Claude, I am 61 and I have only one old 500cc bike and I am very happy with it, with 46 you must be in haven!!!, cheers mate , have fun, we only live once!!
I love this film, music, the bikes and the envy the fun you all had. What inspiration it gives, to plan my own special adventures, thanks.Alan, North Wales, UK
Bel filmato, mi è piaciuto molto il sottofondo musicale, le riprese mi hanno riportato alla mente "easy riders" e i giri che facevo con la mia compagnia negli anni 70. GRAZIE !!! BELLO !!!
slogroove who are you to judge what i say?are you the GOD of motorcycle?i don't have the right to love harley-davidson?I'm a H-D rider and i will open my mind when you'll shut your mouthand the most important thing is that i don't give a fuck about your opinion!!!
romuald besombes Jerry Taylor Do you really whatched this movie? Do you got the feeling what this movie wants to show to you? It's about to feel better with what you have. Independent what motorcycle you have, Harley Davidson or Indian or Norton, even Honda or Kawasaki, the trip and friendship is more important than that. 20 years ago, a friend of mine had a Lambretta, and both os us were had a very good moments, a lot of fun with that bike. Every single bike have good and bad things, but it's irrelevant when you have good friends. Think about it!
romuald besombes Not a God, just a mere mortal, and a former HD rider who believes the Theory of Evolution also relates to motorcycles. Once you realize your underpowered 70 hp, overpriced machine needs a top end rebuild every other year, you'll understand my ire. Hate is a strong word, but I truly hate everything HD stands for, especially the suggestion that you can purchase "cool". HD sells more merchandise than bikes. The words " HD and Forever " should never be in the same sentence.
I guess it resumes what is be friend and love rides and bikes. I can be part of a group, but be real friend is something special. Thanks for the comment! Best wishes!
Really awesome film, a deep and beautiful story, top quality and good songs. I can't understand why people don't like and share much that video, there is a true reflection about the way you can ride a motorcycle, live your passion and make it changes your life. I hope this can inspire people to build their own trip. Sorry for my english and have a good ride, From France.
It really doesn't matter what kind of motorcycle you have. If riding it is fun and you enjoy it, then it is the right thing. I am just 50, but my first memories of riding motorcycle are from the end of 60s when my dad had 175cc CZ 450 and he took me to ride with, I sat on the fuel tank, just in front of him. It was virtually breathtaking experience.
I was a summer/winter rider for 6 years. Back in my early to late 20s when I could tolerate it. Now that I'm 40 I just don't have the tolerance for those foggy rainy icy winter rides anymore. I still ride even in the winter but now it's by choice, not because that's my only form of transportation.
I'll be 67 in June. I still ride with my youngest son but long hard rides are over for me (not the spur of the moment the hell with it rides though). I wish I could still do it. I'm glad there are still people that still do it.
This is what the American Dream is to me. The open road, a couple bikes, your closest friends, a case of beer & and a good time had by all This is an amazing film, you should be very proud
Love some these TT500 and TT650's reminds me of my favorite bikes in the mid 60's ~ love the music tracks too I must be getting real young at Heart in my 70's ... /
The spirit is strong in these guys, I enjoyed every second of that. I trust you’re all still doing well. A 10 year old Triumph with an early 70s Honda 350K4 tank on it, how cool is that 😏
Very cool, beautifully shot video that captures the essence of living with and riding motorcycles. People who have never been around bikes will be inspired by this - and so will people who have one in the garage gathering dust.
Yes it is a beautiful film. But people who have been around bikes for a while will think these guys are stupid for riding with no protective gear, especially out in the middle of nowhere. Artistically the film is beautiful, but it sends the wrong message. Science, medicine, and design have proven the need for protection. They have been lucky up to this point. Luck and wisdom run two different tracks.
I watched this 9 years ago and it inspired me to get a cafe motorcycle. Watching this years later still gives me that great feeling. I still want to know what the first song is haha
Hey guys I know everyone is saying how great this short film is, and I've downloaded the soundtrack off itunes, but you've gotta make this available on dvd ! I'll buy 4 copies right now !!
I love your movie. I live in CA, and I have been to all the places you mentioned in this movie, but I have not ridden my moto to this places. Thanks for the movie, I would love to ride to all the places you have and be able to film my own movie. Thanks!

Restored my first bike at age 15 and at 71 years old I'm still riding...looking.

Cinematography on this film is stunning. Absolutely beautiful and inspiring.
After 47 years of riding, I still get a kick out of all the aspects of motorcycling...great vid that captures the essence of "Why We Ride"!
I have to say this was a number of years ago but absolutely love this video. It’s what motorcycling is all about.
This film maker has got soul, unlike most bikers today. love it from a 365 motorcyclist. No bullshit-your images are what I think of.

Raw, edgy, out of focus, beautiful. Such a great piece. Thanks!
It makes me happy and pulls me back from the sadness. Thank you very much. :)
Absolutely amazing film, breathtaking shots with amazing cinematography skills. It’s got a kind of feeling to it.
One of my favorite movies about motorcycling. So good!
Unfortunately I could only like this once - best thing I’ve seen in a long time
It is better in the wind. True words.
Love some these TT500 and TT650's reminds me of my favorite bikes in the mid 60's ~ love the music tracks too I must be getting real young at Heart in my 70's ... /
Great film, great bikes and music by the mighty Chuck Ragan ....awesome!!!
I could watch this film over and over since I first watched it back in 2,013
One of the best shorts I've ever seen. This guy should have directed On The Road.
Dont need to stand up on my bike 🙈 but... this Vid show,s how much lifepower can come out with a Classic Motorride 💖
The spirit is strong in these guys, I enjoyed every second of that.
I trust you’re all still doing well.
A 10 year old Triumph with an early 70s Honda 350K4 tank on it, how cool is that 😏
This is the real freedom , God bless America
