I don't know if anyone already posted this, but I saw it on FB and it is sooooo worth repeating. I hope----wait, I KNOW I will have the passion these guys have when I am 81 years old.
Enjoy:

At least I'm not the only one getting "soft" in my advancing age.
Nice video. Damn I wish it weren't soooo cold outside.

That was great and touching. My wife rides and I showed it to her and now she can't get enough of it.
You can chase your dreams on a motorcycle, just don't ever give up.
I don't know of a break in period for life, I guess I'll just live it like I stole it.

Wow, I am really impressed it affect others the way it did me. When people don't understand why I love motorcycles so much, I think I will show them this video. It isn't just the machinery---it's the riding, the freedom, the friendship, the experience of it all, the camaraderie. It's a life experience that just can't be replaced with a car.
