And Harley-Davidson never got the idea to make a movie like that to encourage old people to ride until they find the right strategy to attract young riders…
Beautiful.
Love the video
Reminds me of one of my favourite German uncles
He had cancer .. 6 months or so .. chemotheraphy wasn’t working so he decided to clear out the garage
2 canoes, surfboards, Honda 250, lots of bicycles etc
His son arranged to come round in a van to pick up the Honda 250 Superdream.. his wife went out shopping – when they both arrived back at the house she couldn’t get in (so got worried), the son opened up the garage to gain entrance to the house – no motorbike, no Karl Heinz… he had only gone out for one last ride round the block on the bike!!
He died about 3 months later.. the family were still taking about the motorbike ride..
When one is young they look at older people and say why don’t they { older people let say 55 } drop off the face of the earth. They cant ride !
When one gets older they say will that young punk ever live to be 55.
Of course the young people are hip and also invented sex, booze and try to live the way we did and retro bikes like us old bastards . LOL
Funny at what age is one supposed to disappear and have the youth of today create their own style and not copy the old bastards lifestyles.
Life is short enjoy it with all. This shit makes me tired I’m going to bed. LOL
” Now into the future.” Just remember how nice of a bike that Ole St Nick built down Houston way. Maybe we can copy it now. LOL
Excellant message, live life to the fullest, never forget those that mattered. Kindle the love and the fire. Good one.
Respect.
Fantastically moving. Thanks for posting Cyril.
Very cool, thanks Cyril, makes me remember old riding buddies who are now gone.
Getting emotional. A great video.
Superb video. Makes you think. (hey Cyril, did you notice that all your videos are immediately republished by all other motorcycle websites. Huh)

Went straight to my heart. Thanks Cyril.

Cyril great video. It is all too real as I am going through the same situation now and looking for a last long mile trip this summer before things get worse. This video has given me so much inspiration that I just know I will do it this summer. Many thanks Cyril.
Thank You Cyril, quite moving,…. was going through some old pictures of some old road trips,… first trip to Sturgis, ect…. now, older and having some health problems and wanting to take one last ride with my best friend who was diagoned with cancer (my Dad). Will have to make his two wheeler a trike, I hope he’s strong enoungh to try it….
Live while you can, because as we age we learn how short life really is……. if we live long enoungh to see older age! tattooeddmike
Hope I and my friends can do that. We have less than 20 and will find out.
I feel the love.. I have friends like that now, and hope to have the same when im 80 doing the same thing as these guys ! Motorcycles are important on many levels. Good find Cyril !

Nicely done, kind of embarrasses me for how little I’ve ridden the last few years.
I have recently gone through a few reminders how precious life is. Great video!! Brought tears to my eye. Going…on a short ride. Thank you.
deeply true

MAN OH MAN!!! I cried real tears a coupla times watching that! Good Tears, I’m talkin’ about. Thank you Cyril for that feel good video! Wiz
“Superb video. Makes you think. (hey Cyril, did you notice that all your videos are immediately republished by all other motorcycle websites. Huh)”
4 minutes long and better than most hour and a half movies !
Truly Awesome & Inspiring
I like this very much is a very great way to start the day with thanks to Cyril
This ad was so inspirational and poignant, I had to share it. Wow, watching it was a just great way to start the day! Thank you for finding this.
Excellent,never say die……
Very inspiring, what a find Cyril, got me choked up just watching it. Made me think about riding and what i get from it, and what it means to me. I truly believe that my motorcycle is indeed my therapy.
I thought I read somewhere that there were more youtube films of these gentlemen. Like three or four more. Any idea where one could find those?
notice that none of them are FAT like americans…..
Thanks Cyril, this video made my night! I hope we can all ride till the end….
Well done and very true.
We’ve all got to have a game in life. Riding motorcycles across this great nation till the end will be mine.
it reminds me of my Brother Kolins. we rode everywhere, we had Fun everywhere. we wanted to be those two old guys on the front porch, now too old to swing our legs our our rides and telling sories to everyone of all the places and people we meet. we weren’t going to be talking about the pretty flowers and grass we babysat. Ride on my Brother Kolins, we miss you. we could of beem just like these guys one last ride. That is a great video. Thanks.
Free spirits never to old.
Amazing history.
Best ad I’ve seen in a long time. Harley should watch it and learn.
What a totally cool video…made me cry…DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS…no matter what your age is.
