Adventure motorcycling was a true passion for Neil. It allowed him the privacy and freedom to be himself and not get swallowed up in all the fame and trappings of being a rock star. R.I.P. and ride on Neil, always in the wind.
Beautifully presented comment, Neil was one of the best drummers in the world, a brilliant lyricist and intelligent intellectual, the music world misses RUSH, RIP NEIL
He's not trying to make an entrance like Elvis, he just really likes riding his dual-sport, so he skips the bus and rides between as many shows as possible.
Not only Rush fans, actually. Drummers and fans of drumming will know who he is...and pretty much anybody who knows anything about good music will know who he is, too.
cool! I've done that before, I watched him ride in on the TFE tour into Columbus Ohio. He almost ran me over. I was very nervous standing between the busses when he and Brutus rolled up. Thanks for uploading this!
Neil did own a Ducati 916 at one point: a gift from his late wife. He mentions in "Ghost Rider" that he kept it indoors and didn't take it out much, if at all.
@@A93GRather unnecessarily so…not to mention the fact you can’t even see what he looks like with all that gear on, so the remark is doubly unnecessary.
@@jsullivan2112He also had medical problems and wasn’t a young man anymore. No need to say anything about him because he still performed better than any drummer.
Thats just kind of cool.He is a word famous rockstar millionare and he did not have to have a parade extravaganza entry hes just enjoying the beauty of the land he is in riding his bike .Still hard to beleive he passed
His preferred bike is a BMW R1200 -- there's lots of footage and pics of Neil and this bike. Ducati? Well, the man could own one -- I'm sure his garage is large enough.

@@jamesweldon9726 on the other side of the pond- it probably would have been Brutus, who is no longer welcome in the US due to being caught with a "truckload of the leafy green stuff".
And he slips by, like a rider in the night -- okay, more like mid afternoon. Anyway, he slips by on his BMW R1200 -- SWEET. But it would be cooler if Neil was riding a Ducati. A red Ducati. Why doesn't Neil ride a red Ducati 'superbike'?
@SnowDogRedSectorEh Wow, you're not a Rush fan at all, huh? You're probably Neil or Geddy or Alex, huh? Just chillin and checking out YT, huh? Your name is a combination from Fly by Night and Grace Under Pressure, why?
RIP Neil Peart; besides his musical talent, I'll also remember him as a veteran motorcyclist.

Earlier he did it on a bicycle
My love of RUSH can not be overstated. The music of my time is one of my greatest blessings.
BBRRRRRMMMM. Ridden with Neil, a very friendly bloke.
I seen Rush in concert 2 times back in the 80s he played a hell of a drum solo.. I just turned 59 and sold my bike 🤷🏻♂️..RIP Neil
Neil, when I grow up, I want to be like you!

I don't want your autograph Mr. Peart, I just want you to run over me!!!!!!!!!!
His books are great.
lucky he got through Glasgow without been mugged
I miss this man. I miss Rush period ❤
Riding that motorbike to Europe was the real trick.
Neil was like Chuck Norris , If anyone could ride a bike across the Atlantic it was him.
Transport it on a ship and ride around the deck for the crossing LOL

He was so fit when he used to bicycle.
Wow. You’re mean lmao
@@A93G No he actually did used to bicycle a lot douche.
@@A93GRather unnecessarily so…not to mention the fact you can’t even see what he looks like with all that gear on, so the remark is doubly unnecessary.
@@fever_spikeHe definitely packed on the pounds after he stopped cycling.

Dual sport riding is so Awesome i can totally understand his passion for riding and being like God on the drums
On a R1200. Now, that's an entrance.
"Elvis has entered the building". LOL!!
I own a GS because of Neil.
The man!!!
Lyrical genius and a ghost rider.
I miss Rush." If I could wave my
Wand, I make everything alright"
He used to, not anymore though as he rides touring bikes now. Cheers!
Legend.
very cool! ...
Nice Bike.

The Ghost Rider.
@geordiedave42 the same time he always does.. roughly three hours prior to the show.. have you not read any of his books?
Like a boss!
Bosses suck...😔😠🤬
Gang gang
the professor. :)
Which one is Neil? Who's riding with him?
Neil leading .... his wingman always has his 6
Either Michael or Brutus...
Would've been pretty cool if he had rode his Ducati on stage --- kind of like Halford driving his Harley.
His preferred bike is a BMW R1200 -- there's lots of footage and pics of Neil and this bike. Ducati? Well, the man could own one -- I'm sure his garage is large enough.
Not sure it was the 1200
It was the 1200

Neil is coming in hot.
I did it. MY WAY
Just a couple of stock Beamer ST bikes.
R1200GS actually
who dat riding wit him?
chefjimmie1, that's Michael Mosbach, his security guy.
@@jamesweldon9726 on the other side of the pond- it probably would have been Brutus, who is no longer welcome in the US due to being caught with a "truckload of the leafy green stuff".
(With hi-class British accent): "Ladies & gentlemen, the Ghost Rider has entered!"

Nothing special about Ducati. Kawasaki is king
That Beamer was a Super Comfortable ride
