In this film, The Ol’ Man talks about why we ride motorcycles and what is awesome about it. He also tells a bit of a story about his riding past on his first bike; the Honda ST70 and first 50cc the Yamaha DT50 MX, and his motocross days.
He also wears his cap backwards – get over it lol!

Very warm and heartfelt 👍 I have the R18 FE so it’s good to hear from a high profile bike reviewer who shares my feeling that it’s a very special bike. Some mods I did that added to it in my view: Jekyll + Hyde chrome exhausts, BT Moto ECU flash gives rock mode more oomph, front mudguard with pin stripe to match rear, Wunderlich oil cooler cover. I use mine around London and it’s fine for short and long journeys. A moving work of engineering sculpture! Always enjoy the show👊
Lost my wife to cancer six years ago. Shortly after her death, I started riding a motorcycle. It is my therapy and I love it. I put my headphones on, then my helmet, then I choose a playlist on my phone and it is wonderful.
good morning very kind ….. I'm about to buy a black brando texspeed jacket like yours ….. could you tell me if after 4 years yours is still good and have you ever tried the jacket in the rain? … if you have had any problems? thanks for the possible answer …. I always follow you, now I am subscribed to the channel …. greetings from Rome
and sorry if I ask for one last piece of advice … in the video you are wearing a gold top …. so the question is which do you recommend texspeed or gold top? … thanks
I bought my first motorcycle when I was seventeen. My latest (probably also my last) bike with 61. I’ve had to go long stretches without one but the desire to ride has been there since the first time & I’ve always known, regardless of the circumstances, I will ride again. I ride, therefore, I am.
We are the knights of the middle ages. The cowboys of the Wild West. 😊👍✌
My first bike was 1966 Triumph Tiger Cub and then a 1948 panhead in 1974. Still have them both. So fun !!
I work 6 , 7 days a week . I love nothing more than my short times I get just to ride my bike . Its thee only time feel free from the rat race of daily life I'll travel to the east coast 90 miles just to have breakfast lol then ride home . I'll ride up to the beautiful Derbyshire dales all day just to get lost . Find cafes or chip shops . Chat to other riders all having that one thing in common. Freedom . Nice video mate . Peace ✌
Brother, you perfectly encapsulated our lifestyle in ten minutes. The best bike is the one right now taking you to somewhere or away from some place. It's why we do it. 👌🤙
My first road legal bike was a. '77 Kawasaki KE 175. Many bikes later (Cafe racers, Superbikes, ADVs), now I'm on an '21 BMW R18 Classic.
Great video, putting the feelings of riding into words. It's not always easy to do but you've captured it. Although I'm definitely the guy who'd rather visit some cows than ride in a group. It's not my personality to ride with a group.. .
I’m a late starter as only been riding for five years wish I’d of started in my younger years as it’s such a wonderful accomplishment and sense of achievement . Your experience relates to years of enjoyment and that is now what I am enjoying ,love listening to your words especially your previous vlog .
