These vintage Harley Davidson motorcycles might be older than their riders, but they're still alive and well, and a great reminder to live everyday.

This was great ❤️.....my Dad had an Indian Chief before he married....and I loved watching the motorcycles during the summer in Sunapee Harbor when I lived there (highly recommend) in New Hampshire. I was fortunate enough to make friends with someone and ride a few times. If you ever visit, you may find that flame covered motorcycle.... the rider gets mistaken for the lead of Aerosmith 😊 ....who has a home “down the road”....so many stories I have of the “harbor” and the cute restaurant called “The Anchorage” where said lead singer met his friend JP who was working there in the 70’s. Before my time! Not sure if they are open at the moment but they do have an outside deck. So many happy and crazy memories ❤️

Wow this one was emotional for me. Harley Davidson is such a HUGE part of our culture here in Milwaukee. There is a manufacturing plant less than a mile from my house and the anniversary rallies are beyond stunning events to watch here. FEEL THE THUNDER!!! It was so awesome and breath taking to see that in a whole other part of North America others are sharing in the joy of what Harley Davidson is all about and not letting the virus or anything stop that enjoyment. Mike, you captured it all so incredibly with outstanding footage and editing. I must have watched like 3 times and sharing with my Harley friends!!!

Wow, Mike, viewing this clip reminded so much of my earlier life when I used to ride almost every Sunday with the Motorcycle Touring Club of Victoria back in the 70s and 80s (my 20s and 30s years). Of course, that meant going to church on Saturday evenings to pray for good weather and a safe ride. My last ride was in December 1994 when some idiot came around a corner on my side of the road and I had to take evasive action. Love your comments re unusual attractions, the scenery of the upper Fraser Canyon, Lillooett and Highway 99 overlooking Howe Sound. The moon through the bridge shot convinced me you are blessed. When I was over there in '95, my Vancouver Host and I had a day railfanning the Fraser Canyon as far as Lytton. The standing joke on this is that we were 'beyond Hope'. Yes, well, we were of course. Anyway enough from me for this week. Cheers from Michael locked down but well downunder in Melbourne.

It's good to see old iron out on the road. Too many good bikes mausoleums under glass when they should be out on the road with a fire in their belly. There is just something about riding a real old bike like flying a real old biplane you just can't compare it to modern day. It is something else.

This motorbike is THE motorbike. It sounds so great. I am living in the landscape in Germany but unfortunately a lot of bikers are "organ donators on two wheels" because they drive risky and too fast. Especially in spring time when the weather gets better. During winter they have forgotten how to handle their machines in a proper way. So drive carefully.

Long after my uncle lost his knucklehead he had the certificate in a frame on the wall stating that the motorcycle had gone 110 miles an hour brand new. Full of gas and oil it weighed 500 lb. It was a super light Speedster of the day. My Uncle used to say for $500 you can get the best motorcycle in the world or the worst car in the world. Harley man to the day he died.

They'll have their benign plasticy rubbish electric bikes and cars that'll have no soul, no character. Life will suck in the 22nd century.
