For the motorcyclists among us...

I've actually seen this before....inspiring, isn't it? I wish this much thought went into all commercials.
 
I'm ready ... just bought my dream bike ... again.

Nice video, as an advert it's pretty crap, but as a video it's great.

I'm going to buy my first motorcycle soon. I nearly got one last night on ebay but then it went for a bit too much money for what it actually was. In britain our archaic safety laws mean that you have to learn and pass your test on a 125 cc motorcycle if you're under the age of 21 and are allowed to progress to a full size one 2 years after having passed your test. Actually i'm only joking about the archaic bit. I don't think i would be able to ride a full size one just yet, i'd probably fall over!
 
Yes, but times are gone long time ago....sold my Harley five years ago....but who knows, what the future brings, after seeing this motivating movie...

In the future I see a bike and sidecar. Old fashioned cross-ply tyres and spoked wheels. I can dream.
 
Only if Neil Peart wrote on this page.
 
have seen that before too, pretty cool though.. I have spring fever baad this year.. Looking forward to riding again although all the idiots I am seeing texting and driving these days has me a little uneasy. Be safe everyone who rides, act like you are invisible.

Nice looking bikes everyone! Although I personally don't ride one, I thought it would be a nice video to share.

Maybe it will motivate me to start a band in my golden years...
 
I don't even have a pic of me on mine yet. That is sad. Have to get on that. Here is a pic from the web. Same as mine. 2006 Yamaha FJR1300.

That was a terrific video.

This is a picture of our motorcycle trip from Seattle to Arctic Circle.

That was a good day.

I said i was getting a 125, and i wasn't lying, was i? Here it is, a 2006 honda CBR125R. Not exactly the fastest thing in the world (only 10 kW/ 10.6 N·m), but it's got good brakes and handles well.

Just passed the first, off road section of the motorbike test. Got 2 minors because i wasn't going fast enough! When i say not fast enough, i mean 49 km/h when the minimum speed was 50. What i think is stupid is the fact that all the regs are in km/h when it says:

"
The motorcycle you use for your test must be:

  • 75 cc or more
  • fitted with a speedometer that measures speed in mph
  • display L-plates ('L' or 'D' plates in Wales) on the front and rear
  • be legal and roadworthy and have no engine warning lights showing"
you've got to love the UK government and the driving standards agency and everything. Beurocracy at it's best.
 
Nice looking bike. I wish North America would have a graduated hp restriction on newbies. Maybe then insurance would not be so high.
