I first saw this video 11 years ago shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer. That diagnosis put a real crimp in my riding. Two years of treatment and I was put in full remission. I watched this video many times. It was a real encouragement and inspiration. I still watch it from time to time to keep my batteries charged. BTW I'm still riding!
I'm so very proud of you! YOU are inspiring! God Bless. I want to lose weight and get my but back on a horse! I don't have to do "jumping," but would just like to ride! I have been on the back of a motorcycle when younger and did ride a mini bike myself with my brothers, ha, but never rode a motorcycle myself. Really just want to get on a horse again. I wishyou the very best of luck! Love this commercial! Love the movie "Wild Hoggs" and again, so proud of you, as a mother of three, a nurse, an Irish American! "Born to be Wild!"
I'll be 80 two months. Since my wife died 4 years ago I have been doing virtually nothing. After watching this video I arranged to start physical training to walk across Canada after the virus subsides. A truly inspiring video! Brings to mind the old song, I'm gonna to live 'til I die, I'm gonna to laugh and never cry, Until my number's up I'm gonna to fill my cup, I gonna to live, live, live Until I die!
Start making a video of your training and then of your walk and then get it on TH-cam as inspiration for other 80 somethings! I've been taking my elderly neighbor to many specialist appointments and even thought she got a fairly serious diagnosis all the doctors are saying that losing weight and exercising will give her many more years of quality living. She thinks she's too old which is nonsense.
I'm 61 calendar yrs old and just fractured my left ankle in the MTN.s of Big Bear Calif. on my XRL 650 Honda. In the beginning I thought about selling it, then realized a big mistake. There's nothing like the outdoors and mother nature, good luck to all who feel the same way.
@@kuladeeluxe What state are you in? First dual sport I've owned it's a tank, but comes in handy on forestry roads where you have to be street legal. Got rid of crutches now ankle brace and therapy.
My wife passed away 3 1/2 years ago. All I've been really doing is sitting around , waiting to join her. It took a f*cking commercial to kick me in the ass and make me realize I need to start living again
I am there with them in spirit. I'm 64 with stage 4 cancer, widowed and still ride as often as I can. I would gladly ride with them. Despite not speaking any dialect of Chinese, I totally understand where they are coming from. Ride on Brothers.
In three years, I'll be 80 years old, ,and my bike will be 40. I try to get in a ride in the country on every nice day. Nothing better! Absolutely can relate to these guys. Saw this video some years ago, very happy to see it's getting posted again.
This is why I fell in love with Taiwan; Taiwanese people know how to live, love, dream and have fun and don't let anything stop them. I cannot wait until I visit again this December. Formosa!
Every time I watch, it brings tears to my eyes. Watching those young people run in the ocean reminds us all of how precious our lives are ... and how much we need to enjoy every minute.
Those few that gave this a thumbs down are too young to appreciate the power of it. Time will cure most of you of that, the remainder will never realize the magical power of heart and soul.
40 people disliked this video? Who are they -- relatives of Ebenezer Scooge? What a beautiful video. My dear friend Joyce in Taiwan sent me the link. We became friends five years ago in Yelowstone National Park. She was hitchhiking around the park to see the geysers. I was there trying to figure out the rest of my life after my dear wife had died. Beautiful video. Thank you, Joyce.
I'm 69 and have watched this about 10 times. Very inspiring and extremely meaningful to my sons to whom I shared this. And I ride my black Arabian horse too!
I sincerely like it when a wealthy business chooses to simply give Everyone a present - a few minutes about actual creations, events, etc which transport us.
I'm young, I ride, and I takes off my hat for this gentlemans. I'm inspired to be like them & hope I could find joy in my golden age with my fellow rider friends. May God bless your remaining years in the world, you had live it well & you leave behind a meaningful sharing in this eternal internet. Thank you!
The Biker Book for Charity LOVEs your spot. The charitable heart of the motorcycle community is worldwide and its love needs no translation. Thank you for sharing this community's love and passion.
Saw this 4 years ago, just saw it again and shared it. How can one laugh and cry at the same time? I should put a reminder to watch this each birthday.
I don't know how many times I've watched this. Watched, weeks later, watched again, and weeks later, I am once again in here. my feeling and thoughts on this ads changes every time, only those goosebumps never gone. This is, obviously, the best ads and the best story ever. luv taiwan!
Talk about hitting home! This video made me cry, and reminded me that I am my father's daughter.. It hurts so very much to lose the one's you love, but to continue on and be strong is the best honor I can give! To never forget, always remember them and to honor them is the human glory that I will forever give them... The rest will come when I see them again! WONDERFUL VIDEO FOR INSPIRATION!!!
Unless ... think about it. My maternal grandparents died within a few weeks of each other, in their mid-90s. They were in a care home for their last few years, she had lost mobility. Every day he would get up and get himself ready and join the love of his life in her room down the hall, and spend his day keeping her company. At the end she became ill and spent a few days in hospital and died. He just gave up and died in his room a few weeks later. He would have hated to have died first, leaving her alone in the world.
@@thetooner8203 I hd this old couple neighbors for many years ... Both in their mid 70s that time .. The old lady is the queen of nagging... From anything to everything can trigger her to Nag. We live in a small village community so everyone knows each other..n cannot stand her ....We live next door unless we're out working, her voice is all we heard every evening n weekends.. Her husband is the complete opposite. very soft speaking ,quite n is the nicest man of the village. One day the old lady fell ill n pass away. So suddenly that we as neighbor could even feel the loss bcoz the quite evenings. Everyday when i go to ( n come home from) work I saw her husband sitting on the porch deep thought... One day as I returned home from work, the old man had been cleaning up his place n help mow our lawn.. When I thank him for being helpful ,I won't forget his reply ..." I have to go ...she is calling me already , we ve been married for so long n her voice is all I heard for the past 57 yrs. My whole world has gone completely quite last few days even the sound of breathing makes me afraid n sad...i miss my wife so much." He passes away one day after that meeting. Exactly one week after his wife's funeral
I'm 19, I have a group of friends who often hang out together once a week. After watching this, we decided to ride motorcycles in the next day. But the different thing is that we feel like appreciating every seconds we have together:) And we just rode around the city:)) thanks soooo much:)
Having been a biker for 35 odd years, coupled with a heavy layer of cynicism, and was prepared to scorn. This is fucking awesome. These fellows get it, it's better to burn out than to rust and there is nothing like a bike to help you remember that.
Wow, what a superb ad.. I've read from the magazine that this movie used Thai actors and was directed by the Thai director who won the award from Cannes Lion for 5-6 consecutive years.. Bravo! well done :)
My Visual Communications instructor showed this for my class. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when it was over. This was beautiful! Whoever directed this was a genius! Even if it's for a bank.
This is an amazing story and yeah it made me cry too. Being a motorcyclist -- getting older-- it really resonated. Those men go from sad & hopeless to experiencing a big bite out of life. Maybe they should make riding a part of assisted living programs...
seeing this - calls forth the ask: so what am i living for today? That i come to value each precious moment MORE. I do not want to get to the end of my life and have the realization "oops, i missed it."
Truly a Fabulous Ad, giving people hope and the confidence to live out their dreams through all the hardship one encounters in life. Cheers to the Ogilvy team!
despite being only 34 and being a 6 month rider, the vid made a tear roll down my face... ride hard ride safe brothers! though we may have our own groups or riding buddies, when we do meet on the road...we are all brothers! Cheers!
To my best friends since childhood. I love you and miss you. Hope we can get together soon. Thanks, son for sending this to your old man. It's great. Brings back all kinds of sweet memories.
I have not been doing good at making friends. I have only casual friends to whom I have never cried when either they left or passed away. Good for you when you have regular visit to pay to your friends Keep it up. Because once you lost them, you would be forever feeling sorry.
This was a fantastic video! I love that they used “On Your Mark” as the song. Such a powerful video and the song was just the icing on the cake! Thanks for this.
For the 19 who can't understand, we can't explain because you have given up all joy and adventure. This was a great story. I to have lots friend and am getting older, but I keep on riding for as long as I can. It's living life to the fullest.
These guys are my role models! I'm 64, been riding since I was 12 years old, ridden over half a million miles on three continents and many countries. I intend to keep riding til I fall off my perch!
Great info. The studio probably got the rights and did an instrumental cover with new arrangement especially for this commercial. That's why we can't find it.
Ein großartiges Video das zeigt worum es auch in einem späten Leben gehen kann. Einfach mal zu leben egal welche Schwierigkeiten es gibt und nicht das Ziel aus den Augen zu verlieren.

Fellow brothers on two wheels don't need to speak the same language, we all know why we are here. Prayers your way my brother.
The very best to you!
Keep on keeping up bro!! Thanks for inspiring us.
Perry, are you still here with us ??? Just want to know
God bless you and I hope you read this in FULL REMISSION.
Watched this video when I was 16. Back then, I thought it was really cool. But now, in 2024, it brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.

AWESOME! I love it! I'm only 59 yrs old but I've been a biker all my life. Grew up that way. Ride on my Brothers! SALUTE!
Love it. And the choice of "On Your Mark" by Chage and Aska was inspired. That song never fails to hit you right in the feels.
This is some sort of an INSTRUMENT REMAKE of that song….but where can I find this FULL SONG??
@@CanTho2022 you are on the Internet and you got TH-cam.. you just literally need to copy and paste the song title.. come on, man

Brings goose pimples each time I view this! I wish all viewers a good and positive life!

Each men has a young boy in mind, they never gets old.
สุดยอด เท่ห์มากๆเลยค่ะ ถึงอายุมากแต่ก็แข็งแรงและได้ตามฝันของตัวเอง เยี่ยมเลย
Magical! You may have to grow old, but you don't have to grow up!

So let's get up and go get a life!

What a beautiful and inspiring advertisement. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. Added to Favourites!
Beautiful video.. Beautiful story to keep believing in your dream..
I'm not Taiwanese, but I'm old - and I ride. A life without passion is not living - its just existing.
My aunt sent me this....Fantastic.
As I say...this is it...only get one shot...GO FOR IT!
Enjoy it all.
Don't do as I did: watch this while eating...
Great story.
Age is a state of mind.
My Visual Communications instructor showed this for my class. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried when it was over. This was beautiful! Whoever directed this was a genius! Even if it's for a bank.
Outstanding! (I will share this, with my children and grandchildren- and everyone else that I care about.) Thank you so much for this!
There is no way you can watch this wonderfully produced spot without acquiring a huge smile. Brilliant. Moving. Heartfelt. BRAVO!
Love this vid. Proud to be a Taiwanese.

Emocionante!!!! Quem vive essa emoção em duas rodas sabe o que é isso, desafio, emoção, companheirismo, sensação de estar mais próximo de si mesmo.
This ad is so hilarious! But so touching at the same time! Wish I had cool grandfathers like these guys! Absolutely inspiring!
seeing this - calls forth the ask: so what am i living for today? That i come to value each precious moment MORE. I do not want to get to the end of my life and have the realization "oops, i missed it."
excellent. never stop crying and being inspired by this TVC
aw this is SO cute, i love it!!!

Like they got severely tired of dying a little each day, and decided that the ones they lost would not want them to do that.
Possibly the best video I've seen. When nothing else matters but the passion you have in your heart!
what an inspiring commercial

Natasha Azmi yes
Very touching... Yes, men never grow up, they just grow old! I learnt this from my husband!
tears can't stop
This was a fantastic video! I love that they used “On Your Mark” as the song. Such a powerful video and the song was just the icing on the cake! Thanks for this.

Oh and the song is called On Your Mark by Chage and Aska. Though I cannot find this version anywhere.
You’re not wrong. Can’t find it in apple or Spotify.

Whatever Country this lil' gem came from, is a God blessed Country, just for having people like this here.
If you're not crying you have no soul.
It's the "dreamer who do" that set the world on fire. Whuhooo for these guys!!

This was truly heart warming. A reminder what we should be doing at any age.

Brought me to tears. Will forward to my daughter; I want her to always live her dreams.
