Can’t wait to share this with all of our motorcycle racers in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It’s a great reminder to always remember the feeling of the road- even in the dead of winter! -www.roadracing.org

Hay un refran mexicano q dice: El corazón no envejece, el cuero es el q se arruga.
La verdadera vida empieza a los 50, cuando ya no compites, cuandolas cosas se ven con más calma, como el rollo de papel q conforme va pasando, se va mas rápido.
Hay q seguir esos sueños q no tuvimos tiempo o manera de realizar.
Bravo x el comercial???? Una autentica lección.

Wow…… my brother just sent me this and
I can’t believe everyone’s response… it’s just asmazing how everyone lights up (no pun intended) for you unfortunate smokers!
Ride until you fly….. there are a lot of miles on my but and I give anything to do it again.
Everyone must see the Grand Canyon before their time is up especially on a motor cycle.

I have retired as a communications consultant to more than 500 companies worldwide, nearly 150 of them banks over the past 45 years. I applaud the message and the way it was presented by this bank. I have heard the comment of bankers being heartless countless times over the years. This bank has heart. Having read the comments by Re-Al O’teecheck he has refined the meaning of heartless in my book.

I watched the commercial twice in a row. The tears were filling up my eyes everytime that I watched it. It seems like I am so bombarded with everyday’s responsibility and do not know how to have fun anymore.There are times that I feel like a human robot. Thanks for waking me up!

Very moving. On the last few months of my mother’s life, we did the same thing but on a convertible car (same effect than a bike) because she couldn’t walk anymore…..I remember those incredible moments as glorious .My mother died peacefully in her bed in my house almost three years ago. It was tiring, but I would do it again.

My dreams have kept me alive, I have a huge list, and I have been able to see some come true. But what I would give anything for that friend to come with me; see the world, even a little at a time. It is hard to keep following the dreams alone. I envy that group of friends who stick together…they are the true gift in life, not where you g0 but who is there is share your smiles and tears…Loved & Needed. But I have hope & will never give up

I’m sorry but what has this got to do with a Bank.

I loath the way the banks use the most heart felt of our human feeling to make money.

Get real – banks are not interested in our dreams they’re interested in our money.

I love it! My sweetheart and I used to ride a long time ago – the wind in our faces – such freedom- helps make you who you are! Several years ago I rescued a young woman from armed kidnappers – last year I kissed a stingray in the wild – exhilarating! Ride on! Dream on! Gonna work on my bucket list soon!

What a glorious video!

It made me remember my dad’s dreams… his winter planning of spring trout fishing trips and the new lakes to be discovered, new pals to be met, old ones renewed and of course the new topo maps that would eventually be taped, retaped and re-taped yet again.

*Smiling thru my tears here* Thank you !

This was very inspirational. I don’t feel moved to ride a motorcycle… but it does inspire me to go and LIVE, DO EVERYTHING, and BE HAPPY. I’m 61

This video is a reminder for me of the quote someone sent me once: “I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.” How often we forget how to live and how to die.
I am getting older in body but am still 36 in my essence……I prefer what is.
I still have a dream of riding into the sunset with a partner or five. Maybe my “pack” of angels with fur and one with human skin. If not, I still have my dreams. And I’m still Sunny and grateful. Thank all of you for sharing this.

I’m 82, Been ridin’ for 60 years. In summer don’t use the car unless have too large a package to haul. Bike only. Lost my passenger, my wife, seven years ago. Often take long rides with a group we call the Geezer Motorcycle Gang and its Youth Auxiliary. This commercial/video really spoke to me on several levels. Thanks.

I have watched this a half-dozen times and tears well up every time. I lost my wife, my riding partner, my best friend to breast cancer 4/11/09, so this commercial touched my heart. I learned many things from her, especially in her final years; friends & family are the most important thing and do not put anything off… do it now… you may never get another chance!
I ride with a group of guys, 57-68 years old and we take a cross country trip every summer. We are riding from CA to CO this year. It can be grueling sometimes, but extremely memorable.

I havn’t been to church regularly in almost 15 yrs. Bankruptcy, coma, divorce, welfare, friend’s suicide, mom’s death, absent friends have all led me to start my suicide note. At 45, I had had enough. ~ I saw this video in church during a meditation and wept. For hours. Each of those men reflected a facet of my fractured soul. ~ They raged against the dying of the light and have inspired me to do the same. Thanks to the makers & poster of this video. I’ll do my best to pay it forward.

I’m not there yet but still ride (K-75, BMW) and would be honored to ride, in spirit, with those men who declined to stop living their dreams.
