An inquiry into the perspective of motorcycling in relation to having to take a hiatus from riding, either due to the changing seasons or life circumstances. I took a solo trip to the Green Mountain National Forest in Vermont during October 2021 for some motorcycle camping, intended to be the last ride on my Triumph Bonneville for the season. I ended up having some ignition troubles during the trip, so I had to cut it short and replace my ignition system. Once fixed, I took my Bonneville back out in Massachusetts to catch some final foliage and winterize my motorcycle before the winter. The motorcycling was filmed on 3 cameras in parts of Vermont and Massachusetts.

You articulate the sentiments of many of us. I’m 74 and started riding again on my 48year old Benelli just 3 years ago. Advancing age brings the horizon closer with each passing year and robs us of our sense of adventure. For me the bike lets me now I’m still alive but reminds me that reactions are slowing. Thankfully, (hopefully?) I’m more careful on the bike to compensate. It’s November mild and damp in the UK now and I just returned from a short ride. Short rides are better than none at all and I’m determined not to make it my last ride of the year - ever optimistic! Love the video and commentary👍

@ginogina4589 Год назад

Enjoy the ride and happy birthday. Im right behind you at 73.

@heleti0000 Год назад

Agree with your sentiments entirely. Diagnosed with Terminal Cancer just after my 70th Birthday and in too much pain to ride my old Ducati SS, after unexpected good results from Chemotherapy, I bought an “Adventure” bike because I was able to ride for an hour or so in an upright position, without much pain.The enjoyment and “rejuvenation” I get from even a short ride is something a non-rider could never understand. I liken the smooth negotiation of curves the closest thing to flying - I also hold a Private Pilot Licence but can no longer afford the horrendous costs associated. My Oncologist says he’s amazed I’m “still here” and puts it down to both the Chemo and my enjoyment of riding (including “tinkering” with mods and maintenance). Have to keep busy and keep riding until I can no longer ride safely - I’m determined that is still years away and even though side effects of treatment make it harder and quite painful to walk, once I’m on the bike, the pain goes away and I’m 30 years old again - (but with nearly 60 years of riding experience, so I don’t take the risks I did when I was riding high powered bikes in my 30’s 👍). Keep riding, keep positive and safe travels always 👍🇦🇺

I'm now riding my bike at every opportunity, knowing there's evil coming thats going to stop me doing it, lm 62 I've never not owned a motorcycle since I was 17, it gave me everything

@williamdavis8161 Год назад

I turn 72 next month and have always had a road bike for over 50 yrs. Most of my riding friends are no longer riding, due to age, illness, death. That's somewhat discouraging, but solo riding has always been a big part of my experience. Riding a bike can be a great attitude adjustment. An evening ride on a good road is a great time to think, or to not think at all. As someone who has always tried to be as self sufficient as possible, i find myself wondering if i have enough left in the tank to do everything i want (&need) to do. But, as long as i'm able, & feel safe doing it, i'll keep the bike ready to go. Riding has been an important part of my life. People say motorcycling is dangerous. It can be, but it has helped me survive some of the worst emotional times in my life.

@user-tz9jh6pv2j 7 месяцев назад

My "last ride" came a lot sooner than I expected. I had only been riding for 8 months, and I had fallen in love with it. I had just finished my first summer riding and did about 1500 miles over 2 road trips. It came to an abrupt end because something terrible happened... I was with a really good friend, and we were stopped at a red light. It was a nice sunny perfect day out. We were just sitting there, and I was looking over at him and enjoying the day. Out of nowhere, a van came from behind us, speeding at around 50 (speed limit was 25), and rear ended my friend. It felt like it happened in slow motion because one moment I was just looking over at him enjoying the day, and the next I saw him being hit.... The god damn van driver was on his phone because he was still holding it when I ran over. They skid down about 30 feet. I ran over to my friend who was completely motionless.... My friend's alive, but he has a long long way to go before he can walk again. After seeing that, no matter how much I love riding, I'm pretty much done. I miss it... but I don't think I will ever get back on a bike

@michaelvachon1334 10 месяцев назад

I have also been riding for many years (started in 1971). As I grew into adulthood, I sadly watched many friends relinquish their riding and bikes to family responsibilities and other financial demands. While I also started a family as well, I just couldn't imagine NOT having a motorcycle to jump on when time permitted or when I just felt the need for the open road. I've never been able to articulate exactly what this means to me but I just know it nourishes my soul. I've been to a number of places and traveled some obscure roads, and am sure I wouldn't have otherwise visited/traveled most of these destinations/paths had it not been for the call to adventure that two wheels provides. Loved this video as it at least lets us visualize what the freedom of being out on a motorcycle can be like. I'm hoping I have many more 'last rides' ahead of me. Thanks for sharing!

Great video, thank you. You have managed to articulate what most riders are only dimly aware of. We all know that riding our motor-cycles is good for us - the solitude, the freedom, the emptying of our minds of clutter to focus on the road & any obstacles, etc. I have been riding since I was 16 years old, but in the last 3 to five years, I have discovered the joys of riding dirt roads and off-road, & it's given me a whole new lease on life. I live in South Africa, which is bike-riding heaven, despite all the warts here. I am now 72 years old, & will keep riding as long as I am able

I just recently joined the Bonnie Club. I get the feeling Bonneville riders have a special view of motorcycle riding, one I really like. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

@Supernaut2000 2 года назад

My motto: "Mobilis in Mobile" taken from the Jules Verne novel "20,000 leagues under the sea". It means "moving in element" or words to that effect. I have it written on my Goldwing console to remind me. When winter comes I enjoy the hibernation time. I can reflect on the rides/trips/tours I took, the new friends I met on the road, etc. It avoids complacency to have winter down time from riding, so bad habits don't become common! And then, one day in spring, it is time again and all the newness, the feeling of the first time riding, all those feelings are back! And thus the cycle begins (pardon the pun) and I become "moving in element" once again.

Add to that...when you ride a motorcycle, you have to have a 1 track mind. Staying Alive! It's a release Or catharsis ( relief from tensions from every day Life. After a good ride, you come back feeling Clean/refreshed ready to make for another Day/ week.

Fantastic tale of a motorcyclist. My father used to take me for rides on his CB750F when I was just out of diapers and later on his FJ1100 when I was in my teens, and bought me my first motorcycle when I was 16 a RG125. I was bitten by the motorcycle bug, my dad died in 2002. Then my mom died in 2020 shortly before we locked down. I was stuck at home thinking how I could recapture that feeling of freedom so I bought a Triumph Street Cup and it’s honestly been the best therapy blasting our mountain passes and coastal roads here.

@michaelvachon1334 10 месяцев назад

Sorry for your loss, but what a touching story. My own story is similar. My Dad bought a new Honda CB750 in 1971 (his 3rd bike). I was 13 at the time and got to go on a number of rides with him on that bike. Fast forward to the late 70's and Dad decided to hang up his helmet. I took over the CB750 and it was my regular ride for the next 10 years or so (such a reliable bike). I graduated to a Gold Wing, but knew I just had to keep the CB750. It was relegated to the back of the garage and didn't see any use for a while. In 2006 I decided to do a full restoration on it. The goal was to make it look like the day Dad first brought it home. I was able to show him the results before he passed and the bike is now my connection to him. My own Son was never interested in motorcycles growing up, but about 5 years ago, he surprised me by secretly taking MSF course and getting his own bike license. After he got some miles under his belt, I let him take out the CB750. He knows how special this is to him & I. Now I know it will be passed on and hopefully remain in the family moving forward.

Morning of 6 Feb 21, I was riding in the mountains and slipped on black ice, twisted my left knee under the bike and managed to limp to the side of the road, it was the same feeling of "The Last Ride" that came over me as I was lying there waiting for my fellow rider to come up to me. I thought that I had broken something and next 6 months will be like hell. Thankfully, it was only a stretched tendon. 3 days later I was riding back home on the same bike with my knee fixed in a brace and covered 1200km in next 2 days to my home. But that moment on the road, I felt a lot of things, it was fear, vulnerability, excitement and many things I don't have words for.... and now that I look back to it, I'm glad that I had such an experience in my life. I'm never gonna quit riding

I'm more than a little bit sad when I have to put the bike away for the season. Winters can be unreasonably long....at least it feels that way....and I never really lose the urge to ride.

I'm sixty years old and my last ride happened back in 2019, just before the pandemic started. That's when an old lady went through the red light and I T-bone her car with my Iron 1200. Fortunately I didn't break any bones but my right shoulder, my neck and lower back haven't been the same ever since. Last year, 2022, my dad died and I inherited some money , which I spent buying me a Honda NC 750 with DCT. I love spending my afternoons alone playing videogames with my cat sitting on my lap. However, once in a while, I can hear my spirit calling me out for one more ride. Thank you for this video from Brazil.

I've been riding for 40 years, never really did find a way to explain to family. When I was younger I was 80% about the thrill, and I do go fast on occasion even now. But it's the Zen of it that really makes it a great life. Once in a great while I reach true Zen, "No motorcycle, no road, no rider". But everyday riding is so worthwhile. Thank you for this. I sent it to my siblings and children, several said they began to see what it's about.

What a wonderful heartfelt description of riding, bravo! In 1966 while walking past a Triumph dealership a man came out and said hey you! He said that he was going to buy a Bonneville but wanted to see how it handled with a passenger. I had never been on a bike before! I remember how it sounded and how he effortlessly passed cars with just a crack of the throttle. When we got back I was hooked from bowels to bone. In 1973 at 22 years old I took a 4000 mike trip across the country on a Suzuki 500 and had the time of my life. I still ride today and I still love it. Your video expresses how I feel on a bike. Thanks again

Must be the same part of your brain that loves music, coz it’s the same. Thanks for making and sharing this video, it connects us all. Happy riding all!

Last November, 2023, I brought home my first ever Triumph, a 2018 T-120. It is also the first used bike I’ve ever bought. I spent some time over most of the winter cleaning it up, changing out some components, being careful to maintain the “stock soul” of this beautiful bike. The weather is finally getting warm-ish and more stable here in Door County, Wisconsin. Will likely take it out in a couple of days as I will my Honda ST1300 and Honda GL1800. I’ve been riding since my teens. Don’t sense my last days of riding. But, I hope I will be able to recognize when I should stop riding. We’ll see… I’m 74.

@RumorHazi Год назад

Good video and I like the overall idea that we are truly here for a fleeting moment, so make the most of it! The problem I see after many years of riding is many folks adopt the “I’m a motorcyclist” idea. Keep in mind that it takes more than just doing something over and over to truly get better at it. The humility necessary to admit that good training, lane discipline, vigilant situational awareness, and some good gear, is essential and you’ll be riding off into the sunset till you’re 90. Thanks for the great scenery!

I’ve come across this video previously in my feeds and it’s only today I finally tapped on it. Beautiful narration and really deep into the minds and thoughts of a motorcyclist. You've detailed very well the thoughts and emotions that go through the minds of every rider that have to put their bikes to sleep at the end of the season. And the concept of the Last Ride - that was amazing and so true. Only made me realise how true it is - every time we take the bike out, it could very well be our Last Ride, but we take that step because it pushes us to the edge of life and it is there that we are able to find true joy and talk to our inner self in the state of Nirvana. Peace out brother! Love from a fellow motorcyclist and RU-vidr from Toronto, Canada! 😎✌️

@williammahaffy4642 8 месяцев назад

Perfectly on point. Period. This is possibly the best articulation of the riding mindset I have ever seen. And what you describe is FLOW (see the book by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi). You have recognized that the ride isn't about adrenalin but really about chasing FLOW frame of mind. The immersion of the mind in the present moment and the intense focus of being a rider and not just a passenger. I do it for my mental health and every rideable day that I miss feels like a treasure that has slipped through my fingers. We both ride Triumphs and I recognized some of those roads, notably VT11 past Bromley Mountain. Absolutely well done. Instant sub

Very nice video, Chris. I too explore the roads of Vermont on a Bonneville, a 2018 T120 I bought new a few years back. I've logged 18,500 miles on it by now mostly here in Vermont. No better riding anywhere, and I've ridden in a lot of the lower 48. The winding roads and incredible scenery make this state a motorcyclist's dream, except for the immutable fact that we have at most 7 months to do it each year. My bike is quiet now, in a heated garage, waiting for spring when the roads dry a bit and the air doesn't penetrate my clothing and freeze me.
