I think it goes to show that we don't always know what's around the corner and that something you've been thinking about doing, now is the time to do it. Whether it's buying a bike, riding a bike, or anything else in life - just go a do it! Thank you for sharing your story!
Brilliant message, presented in a beautifully shot and edited piece of film, but the star of this is Adam, hands down. He speaks with conviction, passion and seems like a great bloke and that's what makes this the kind of video I would show to anyone out there who passes off prostate checks as a waste of time. Illness is not weakness, dealing with it like Adam is probably the most manly thing possible. Props to you Adam, hoping it all keeps going well and props to Stories of Bike for helping promote this (and not annihilating Adam's story with loud music or heavy handed editing).
Thanks man. My dad had prostate cancer & I just turned 40 & I have a physical exam in a month. I will diffidently bring it up with my doctor; thanks to you sir
well done mate. I lost my Dad because of Prostate cancer 7 years ago, and since 40 I have been having annual PSA checks. Hardest thing in my life was losing my Dad and my chick not going to the funeral coz it was all too hard. We've split up now but she has my house but I still have my bike. Looks like there's a DGR in Adelaide. I'll be there!
What I love about your videos is that we see ,first humans then bikes, both beautiful, and great cinematic technique that pulls you right into the stories. Thank You!
Good for him, I lost my prostate last year, although mine was because of cancer in the bladder, a rare and aggressive sarcoma. They removed my bladder, prostate ( although mine was healthy) and like the man says a few other odds and ends you don't really need. Now I live with an illeal duct and urostomy bags, but I got riding again too after about 8 months. I never go far, as i have other health issues, but I'll riding again soon after a few more weeks off for a minor procedure connected to last years surgery. I could never be a DG, I think, always just a scruff bag, but yes cancer does change your life and yes hopefully I'm clear now, another 8 months and I can be reasonably sure. Anyway, this struck a chord with me, as you might expect.
Absolutely love your videos. I would love to see a behind the scenes of one. They always manage to touch me on a personal level. I would love if you came to the United States, and to Kentucky! We have some amazing roads, and some pretty crazy bikes here!
Brave and thanks for the advice you are a very distinguished gentleman and have probably saved alot of gents.Nice bike sounds great suits you sir. All the very best
cool story! glad the guys ok, sim thing happened to me, had a stroke, had to sell bike ,everything,!!!!! but im on the mend ,stayin positive and saving(slowly) for a new ride
I Do Have to Stay Healthy Too. Got a Minor Issue Lately. I'll See You All at 28th (We May On Different Country and Different Road. But We Share Our Same Passion). Respect.
Excellent, that life is giving you some respite. So fingers crossed here and with god's will if you're ready to help yourself then when there's a will there's a way and destiny on your side. So yep I'm more than happy for you and indeed these blood tests from 40 on should be done at least twice a year for all men ....Stay strong. Emmanuel from France.
Hello mate, hope you're doing good. I had my radical done a year ago by a robot, so it was less invasive than your surgery. Still hell of a thing to deal with mentally. Keep up with the zero's.
good on you,Mr!! I ride bike also and this among other factors has helped keep me alive ..after the suicide of my 15 yr old son..thank God for friends ,community ,dogs and sexy motorcycles..can it be a hard life?/yes but fight on!!
He's a lucky guy to get an aggressive PCA diagnosis by chance - operate - and get zero PSA readings after 6 months...more usually if they find an aggressive one by chance it has already spread to the bones and the outlook is not so rosy and much more complicated...Good one!
im 52 i ride i also have prostate problems manly a very large one have regular cheeks blood tests am about to have mine bored out so i can pee normal after 15 years all males in my family except my farther [cancer surviver ] have died from prostate cancer up to date so man up and just go get that test i may save your life early detection is the key to beating it and you can
PSA tests can be a bit tricky for people who ride motorcycles a lot. From what I understand riding can lead to false or misleading PSA levels. Just a heads up.
+JAndrioli hey man, i'm adam's son, he has recovered from his cancer and he is doing good. He still has to take insulin and medication for his diabetes though.

That's right, just do it.
Forget about getting a license.
