Never forget your inner youth as life is one big adventure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from the begining to the end ride free
I ride and my passion is great… i am touched and this brings me to tears… thank you!
It sure clarifies the old saying”If I have to explain,you would’nt understand”.What a fantastic statement and in the form of a commerical……….unbelievable,Thank You.
Ok, I’m crying, are you happy!!!
Unfortunately, a Bank, must of the time, does not nurture dreams, but prey in our nightmares. However, we can beat them if we act out our dreams despite the banks and the corporate world that try to tame them.
That’s good video.. I am from America..
Thanks tears in my eyes. Dont forget … Vive la vida…
Very touching..Reminds me of when my Dad and I made a ‘run’ in the mtns of Colo.
excellent! this isn’t an advertisement. this is a life statement! a lot gets processed on a road trip. if you don’t ride, try snowboarding. or horseback riding. or surfing. then you’ll get it. 🙂
It’s a great documentary, wonderfully paced, emotional, a story well told.
But as a commercial for a bank it felt disingenuous. Certainly the argument can be made that savings allowed for the experience (though there’s not even the slightest allusion to finacing it being a concern) but the association is thin. Maybe a retirement plan or something but still..
Perhaps knowing the Taiwanese translation to the right (tagline?) would help but it still seems a pretty big chasm to cross. Claiming a bank offers service akin to that much emotion seems hyperbolic, at best.
c’est la vie !! Magnificient !!
Thank you …Bless you …I have started my day over due to your film……
I do this for a living. And in a time when everything is a commodity…including bank loans…this is for dreamers. Like all of us.
And personally, I like a bank that isn’t driven by selling the lowest rate.
This story…ad…is perfect!
Thhis just reminds me of the 90+ and two people over 100 year old ski club… This is a truly cool gang of bikers!!!! Right on!!!!
This was sent to me by a good friend who in his email passed on the hope that he would one day be one of the “Dream Riders” He is now around 77. He turned 70 while we were on a ten day motorcycle trip in the Himalayas! I’m fifty seven now – my only wish is to have that strong of a love of friends and motorcycles when I’m his and their age. The tears will go away eventually I’m sure!
Excelente lecciĂłn de vida. Moraleja:olvĂdate de los exámenes mĂ©dicos de a cada rato y de los tratamientos costosos; de algo tenemos que morirnos y cuando lo quiera Papá Dios,vive la vida y se feliz. Soy motociclista desde los 17 años y tengo actualmente 67 años y sigo montando mi Moto porque la Moto me hace sentir y vivir. Gracias por el VidĂ©o esta padrĂsimo.
For essentially the same reasons, is why I’ll be going on a long road trip this fall, with my E Type Jaguar (which was my parents, whoa re long gone), when I really cannot afford it, when I cannot really afford to take the time off: Bigger still, I cannot afford NOT to do it.
The Tempus, she be a-fugiting…;)
Thanks for the reminder!
I live in Taiwan, but have never heard of these guys or this bank or commercial. Taiwan is a beautiful country! (not a province of China)
Thanks to my friend in Canada for sending the link!
I can identify with this commercial, with the exception that so far I’m blessed with good health.
My friend Bill & I are both 71 yrs. young. We are checking off items on our personal ‘Bucket Lists’. One mutual goal is to cycle the periphery of the continental USA. We have already completed the northern tier from WA to MA, the west coast from Canada to San Diego as well as half of the east coast (MA to DC). Next week we’ll begin a 27 day bike ride, cycling from San Diego, CA to Austin, TX. We carry our own gear and camp out along the way.
It was inspirational and so quaint to see the over the hill gang mastering such a feat, I believe that we are all capable of doing anything that we put our hearts into and I hope that when I reach that milestone I too will be inspired to do it for the memory of family and friends. God Bless.
What dignity…….. I love the unity..
Wish I still had mine, would kickstart it tomorrow if I could afford insurance here.
awesome and inspiring.. I have several friends, i’d love to do that with..It goes to show you that, you have to live life to the fullest.
Very emotional, I even cried. I also ride when the weather is dry, not much for riding in the rain. I also have health problems
Friendship and Love move your sense, no mater age you are, persons have the age in their minds.
Excellent message.
I learned to ride my own at age 50 and the only thing I’m sad about it the fact that I hadn’t been doing it all my life for MORE of those wonderful memories to have and to hold!! It’s in my blood, all I can think about all winter when I can’t ride! Come on thaw!! Think I need to move away from the wet and snow of Oregon!
I prefer to supply my own legpower.
Twice a week I bicycle to the Y to run a water exercise class.
Six weeks ago I turned 85.
I just opened an account at that bank online bcz of that…they don’t have any branches out here in Ohio though I guess…man I’m dumb!!
Not only inspirational and tear jerking, but motivating enough to skip a day of work and take the Street Glide covered in the garage for a much needed ride. Thanks!!!
Robert Pirsig (and maybe only Robert Pirsig) would fully understand this piece. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’s subtitle ‘An Inquiry into Value’ best identifies this ad. Profound, again!
This is how I feel every time I go on a road trip. I’m 66 and I’ve been riding since i was 16 and it still feels the same every time.
Wow-That was monumentally, humanly, inspired. Done in a true Zen spirit, & having real value in heart. I hope Harley Davidson Co. sees this & remembers what ” It ” is all about–again ! Ya know , ( HD), it ain’t yer foo-foo loaded boutiques ya call a dealership these days ! It’s all about the spirit & the heart of the thing, and , what we all need to remember ; LIFE ! Every once in awhile ,one experiences something in another being that prompts them to call that person ” Brother “-or ” Sister “. I think we need to remember the important thing is that we can , & we should . I look forward to my next oppurtunity to do so,Brothers & Sisters !
Don Quixote rides again! Whether you ride, run, walk or crawl you must follow your passion.
An absolutely terrific advertisement. And the message to me was not about motorbikes, it was simply; “whatever you dream, do it!”
And by the way, you’re never too old.
This is very inspiring
Don’t stop living before you die.
What a beautiful message.
I wonder just how fast my wheel chair can go? Thanks for this Josh!
QUE NUNCA SE ACABE LA ALEGRIA DE VIVIR Y DARLE GRACIAS A DIOS
El mejor video que he visto representando parte de mi vida ,muchas felicidades y muchas gracias ,nunca hay que perder el amor a la vida ,a los nuestros y a lo que mas nos gusta.
A well produced film.
My home country, and I’m an avid motorcyclist.
The saying “Ride to live, live to ride” is a good one.
My parents never got to ride on a motorcycle until I brought both of their cremated remains to the cemetery. Mom in the left saddlebag and Dad in the right. The people at the cemetery looked at me funny when I pulled each one out and carried them inside. Ride while you can.
If you want a bike and your over 40 go buy one. I am 55 and now own three. Two Harleys and a dirt bike. And I ride them all. Your only here for a very short time. Get out and do what ever makes you happy. Life is too short and that is the truth.
“grow old disgracefully” is the Ulysses Club motto in Australia. A bike club where you have to be over 50 to be a member. About 27,000 paid up financial members of all types who enjoy simple good times on the road… (In Oz 27,000 is a lot of people)

Reading this gave me something to think about.
We don’t give up our passions because we get old, we get old because we give up our passions.
Absolutely awesome, inspirational and mind-jolting!
I’m now 66, broken heel since 28 Dec. 2010, and broken shoulder since 13 Feb. 2011. AND I WANT MY 4-WHEELER BACK WITH MY BUTT ON IT !! Not looking good, but it WILL happen!! Wonderfully inspirational video. Personally, I’m going to see what else Josh has by signing up! In God We Trust! — J.Steve/Maddog
This is awesome, my wife left me in 2003 when I turned 60, I went exploring the American West, my LandRover towing an Airstream Trailer, Pakeha & Pearl. Now aged 68 I am editing a documentary of that trip at the same time as I am dealing with some weird physical stuff. I will not give in, I will fight back, the film will get made, I love my friends for sending me this Film. Inspirational.
If this doesn’t move you, you should seek professional help
We’re all in the same boat, Hope i don’y have to wait until I’m there age to so for a few days away on the bike…..good ad anyway…
