I can’t get enough of these “love letters to motorcycles” type videos. I unfortunately had to sell mine years ago. Affording to feed my children became priority but I have the itch, the love and the magnetic draw to motorcycles to this day. My time will come to be back on two wheels and I will cherish every single second of those rides.

He best kept secret in the motorcycling world is Vietnam. Take a peaky, light bike with road tyres and ride from Phuong Nha to Khe Sanh. A Vitpilen 401 would not be ideal, but would be close. If you don't have a mystical experience doing that, you've got dramas.

At the age of 52, I began my riding journey two years ago on a whim to find a new hobby. I wish I had done it earlier in my life, but it’s like the saying goes “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now.” Riding washes everything out of my mind and thrusts me into the moment, the best therapy money can buy.

I currently have a Triumph Speed Twin 900. Have been riding motorcycles for six years now. It’s my therapy. My outlet. Even the most mundane of rides - the commutes to work in the pouring rain, for example - can just be spectacular. I genuinely feel sometimes like a bird in flight, or a fighter pilot; it’s that nimble swinging and slicing of the bike through the streets, the traffic, the scenery. It’s just bliss.

I have an old DR 650 that I take out every week. Couldn't afford therapy anymore so I bought a cheap motorcycle at 42. I'm 45 now and I honestly don't know what I would do without my bike. Although I live in Canada and I can only ride it during the spring-fall, I try to make the best of it and remember the fun I had in the winter; It always puts a big grin on my face. I can't tell you the amount of rides I've taken that just cleared my head. Shes my ride or die, her name is Darlene.

Marie Kondo asks people "does this bring joy to your life" but she never asks: "how would you feel, if this was no longer in your life, and you would never be able to see it or touch it anymore?" She doesn't ask what loss you will feel at the absence of something.. or the potential future loss you will feel in its absence. which is just as important I think.

At the time, a box of toys are just toys, fast forward 20 years later and it's a treasure chest. As someone else mentioned, a good metric about how important something is, is how quick you would replace it if it was gone.

This video has come to me at a strange time, a cross roads of my very own. My beloved birth year 97 Harley softail has started the riding season yet again with a new major leak, which makes me resentful at it. But every time I start it up and not only hear, but feel it to my souls core ,that feeling melts away. When I sit on it and twist the throttle it’s akin to talking to a best friend whose personality fits me like a glove. I’ve almost died on the bike countless times, weather it be from deer or drivers to busy looking at their phones to pay attention to the fact that they are driving a 2 ton metal bull down the road and I’m only a pony, but it’s a bike I’d be fine dying on. I feel guilty when I think of selling it to get a newer bike that would give me less problems and I know I’d regret doing so but I can’t keep putting money into something I can’t actually use and don’t make enough money to have more than one. Like you said it’s therapy. This is not something I ever wanted to think about, but life has its way of throwing things at you when you least want them but need them most…

There’s just something about being deep in these sandy Michigan trails, and being on my 1996 cr250r and hearing that engine just singing. I went through the whole motor and did the top end, feels good knowing I did it right and it runs good now because of what I did last summer. I ride with my 67 year old dad believe it or not. He’s on a 95 KTM 300. he has a 73 Yamaha DT3 250, the bike I learned how to ride, but it’s not good in these sandy trails. I told him I would find him a 125 2 stroke and came home with the KTM 300. It’s a blast

My brother was a spirited man. His last project was to rebuild a bike from the ground up, get his license, and learn to ride.. which he did. He died 3 years ago, and I've dreamt of learning to ride on that bike ever since. My Dad now owns it. For some strange reason, my brother doesn't have a grave or a memorial. I don't know why that is, but I see that bike as if it were his memorial. I sit with it. I put my hands on it. I try to envision him turning those tools as he meticulously gave that machine its second chance at life. I think it would be a tremendous honour to feel the way you speak about riding while on his bike. I think it's about time I got my motorcycle license. Thank you, Van.

6:01 - Reminds me of the intro from Matthew Crawfords ‘Why We Drive’ - "Riding a dirt bike on a narrow, meandering trail that is rocky and muddy, with protruding roots and fallen limbs, creek crossings, steep descents, and tight switchbacks, at a mere fifteen miles per hour, I might be taxed to the very limit of my mental ability. Picking lines, making imperceptible decisions of throttle, clutch, steering, braking, and body English, revising them on the fly as surprises arrive at my front wheel-all this demands total concentration. ... the heightened feeling of exposure one has on a dirt bike recalls one to a basic truth: we are fragile, embodied beings. There is a certain risk that is inherent in moving around, by whatever means."

My friend died 2 days ago on his Ducati 848. Went through a green light at the speed limit, while someone ran the red at full speed and t bonded him. It happened 2 days after my first track day of the year and I was already scared of traffic. This was just icing on the cake for me not wanting to ride on the street anymore. But there’s no way I can turn my back on it. I can’t go to the track every day and I’m not going to drive my lame ass car on a beautiful day. Just be aware and be extra cautious around intersections. Most of the time it’s cross traffic that kills us

Great video! I don't even ride but I feel like this when I fly small aircraft.

Hey Van, fun fact. I just got my first motorbike and it’s a 95’ TW200. I realised you planted that idea in my head a couple years ago. Also I daily drive my 1985 Nissan Patrol. Starting to feel like a distant Australian relative of yours. Love your content brother, stay safe -

Love the video! a colleague is thinking about selling his R nine T. He put 600 miles on it. He’s not cut out motorcycle riding wood it seems. You should get it.
