I can’t get enough of these “love letters to motorcycles” type videos. I unfortunately had to sell mine years ago. Affording to feed my children became priority but I have the itch, the love and the magnetic draw to motorcycles to this day. My time will come to be back on two wheels and I will cherish every single second of those rides.

He best kept secret in the motorcycling world is Vietnam. Take a peaky, light bike with road tyres and ride from Phuong Nha to Khe Sanh. A Vitpilen 401 would not be ideal, but would be close. If you don't have a mystical experience doing that, you've got dramas.

At the age of 52, I began my riding journey two years ago on a whim to find a new hobby. I wish I had done it earlier in my life, but it’s like the saying goes “the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago and the next best time is now.” Riding washes everything out of my mind and thrusts me into the moment, the best therapy money can buy.

My brother was a spirited man. His last project was to rebuild a bike from the ground up, get his license, and learn to ride.. which he did. He died 3 years ago, and I've dreamt of learning to ride on that bike ever since. My Dad now owns it. For some strange reason, my brother doesn't have a grave or a memorial. I don't know why that is, but I see that bike as if it were his memorial. I sit with it. I put my hands on it. I try to envision him turning those tools as he meticulously gave that machine its second chance at life. I think it would be a tremendous honour to feel the way you speak about riding while on his bike. I think it's about time I got my motorcycle license. Thank you, Van.

I currently have a Triumph Speed Twin 900. Have been riding motorcycles for six years now. It’s my therapy. My outlet. Even the most mundane of rides - the commutes to work in the pouring rain, for example - can just be spectacular. I genuinely feel sometimes like a bird in flight, or a fighter pilot; it’s that nimble swinging and slicing of the bike through the streets, the traffic, the scenery. It’s just bliss.

I have an old DR 650 that I take out every week. Couldn't afford therapy anymore so I bought a cheap motorcycle at 42. I'm 45 now and I honestly don't know what I would do without my bike. Although I live in Canada and I can only ride it during the spring-fall, I try to make the best of it and remember the fun I had in the winter; It always puts a big grin on my face. I can't tell you the amount of rides I've taken that just cleared my head. Shes my ride or die, her name is Darlene.

I’m 54 in a couple of weeks and only started riding a couple of months ago. Also a DR650 (her name is Varla). While I wish I’d started 20 years ago, I kind of think it happened when it needed to happen, I’m much less of a hellraiser, I’m many years sober and rarely even smoke weed anymore. I’m not out to break speed records or pop wheelies and generally prefer riding under the posted limit when I can. And it’s absolute bliss. I recently nicknamed it “cheater’s zen” because of how arrested in the moment you become while riding.

Marie Kondo asks people "does this bring joy to your life" but she never asks: "how would you feel, if this was no longer in your life, and you would never be able to see it or touch it anymore?" She doesn't ask what loss you will feel at the absence of something.. or the potential future loss you will feel in its absence. which is just as important I think.

At the time, a box of toys are just toys, fast forward 20 years later and it's a treasure chest. As someone else mentioned, a good metric about how important something is, is how quick you would replace it if it was gone.

There’s just something about being deep in these sandy Michigan trails, and being on my 1996 cr250r and hearing that engine just singing. I went through the whole motor and did the top end, feels good knowing I did it right and it runs good now because of what I did last summer. I ride with my 67 year old dad believe it or not. He’s on a 95 KTM 300. he has a 73 Yamaha DT3 250, the bike I learned how to ride, but it’s not good in these sandy trails. I told him I would find him a 125 2 stroke and came home with the KTM 300. It’s a blast

This video has come to me at a strange time, a cross roads of my very own. My beloved birth year 97 Harley softail has started the riding season yet again with a new major leak, which makes me resentful at it. But every time I start it up and not only hear, but feel it to my souls core ,that feeling melts away. When I sit on it and twist the throttle it’s akin to talking to a best friend whose personality fits me like a glove. I’ve almost died on the bike countless times, weather it be from deer or drivers to busy looking at their phones to pay attention to the fact that they are driving a 2 ton metal bull down the road and I’m only a pony, but it’s a bike I’d be fine dying on. I feel guilty when I think of selling it to get a newer bike that would give me less problems and I know I’d regret doing so but I can’t keep putting money into something I can’t actually use and don’t make enough money to have more than one. Like you said it’s therapy. This is not something I ever wanted to think about, but life has its way of throwing things at you when you least want them but need them most…

I’ve been through so many hobbies. I started riding a little over a year ago and there’s nothing like it. Absolutely nothing. I’m totally in love with it and it’s helped me decompress and clear my mind every time I get on. I go through withdrawal if I don’t ride. I know the risks but for such a fulfilling experience I won’t live in fear of them.

My friend died 2 days ago on his Ducati 848. Went through a green light at the speed limit, while someone ran the red at full speed and t bonded him. It happened 2 days after my first track day of the year and I was already scared of traffic. This was just icing on the cake for me not wanting to ride on the street anymore. But there’s no way I can turn my back on it. I can’t go to the track every day and I’m not going to drive my lame ass car on a beautiful day. Just be aware and be extra cautious around intersections. Most of the time it’s cross traffic that kills us

Brilliant video. I’m in tears brother. I’ve lived in 5 countries and never owed a car with hundreds of thousands of Moto-miles under my belt and still never feel right without two wheels. It’s who I am, part of my soul, part of my humanity. Your words and the quotes you used, perfectly captures every emotion and reasoning behind this shared passion. People ask me why…all the time. I’m now just going to show these folks your video. Thank you 🙏🏻. We should ride together sometime.

6:01 - Reminds me of the intro from Matthew Crawfords ‘Why We Drive’ - "Riding a dirt bike on a narrow, meandering trail that is rocky and muddy, with protruding roots and fallen limbs, creek crossings, steep descents, and tight switchbacks, at a mere fifteen miles per hour, I might be taxed to the very limit of my mental ability. Picking lines, making imperceptible decisions of throttle, clutch, steering, braking, and body English, revising them on the fly as surprises arrive at my front wheel-all this demands total concentration. ... the heightened feeling of exposure one has on a dirt bike recalls one to a basic truth: we are fragile, embodied beings. There is a certain risk that is inherent in moving around, by whatever means."

I feel other videos were for us, and thanks. This one feels like it was for you and was all the better for it.

I bought myself a 1964 Ford Falcon Ranchero with a 302 engine. When I got my first post-college job. That was an amazing car... so bummed I sold it.

Hey Van, fun fact. I just got my first motorbike and it’s a 95’ TW200. I realised you planted that idea in my head a couple years ago. Also I daily drive my 1985 Nissan Patrol. Starting to feel like a distant Australian relative of yours. Love your content brother, stay safe -

I got back into motorcycles in 2019 after a decade hiatus. The idea was it would keep me occupied and sane while dissolving a failed marriage. The first bike I picked up was a Svartpilen 401. Such a fun little machine. Lightweight, torquey, sounds good, and looks like a work of art. Five years later and I'm on a Triumph Street Triple 765RS that has about three times the hp of the svart and even more pedigree and athleticism. But sometimes I really do miss that little swedish bike. It just had a character and playfulness about it that I haven't been able to recreate.

I rode those roads for 2 years. Miss it tragically. Moving back before not too long. See you at the Rock Store mate.
