Why We Ride
The sun in your face, the sound
of the motor and the vibration,
the unobscured view of everything
It's a bombardment
of the senses.
I just love it,
The cliche of
feeling the wind in your hair,
even though I don't have much
hair anymore, is very true.
It's just...
It's a wonderful feeling.
It's a built-in passion to ride a
motorcycle, no matter what it is.
that you'll ever feel.
There's nothing in my
life that's like it.
It's part of who I am,
and what I want to be.
Motorcycle riding is such a
filter for the brain for me.
I always end up singing while I'm
riding because it's just me and my bike
and I'm just enjoying myself and not
really thinking about anything else.
Some people paint,
some people sew,
I get on a motorcycle
and that really puts
my mind at ease.
It's a high, it's a good high, and
it's one that you can get addicted to.
In a spiritual sense
you could almost say, Namaste, you know,
it's that blending of the soul
of the motorcycle and you
and it's just this
perfect moment.
Everybody that rides a
motorcycle that's been around for a while
has got a personal connection
to their motorcycle
It's a person unto itself.
We all dream
about flying.
Well, when you ride
a motorcycle, you are flying.
at the twist of a throttle.
When you ride motorcycles,
people always say hi to each other, you know,
you don't see people who drive
cars waving at everybody in a car.
They all have a bond, and
it's a bond that they share by desire.
The common denominator
is two wheels.
They are people that'll bend
over backwards to help ya.
You're not going to leave a comrade on the
side of the road without offering to help 'em.
There are some of the nicest people I've
ever met, are motorcyclists, hands down.
Being a motorcycle guy
cuts across every job description,
and you identify yourself
with being a motorcyclist,
first and foremost, before you're
a doctor, before you're an actor,
before you're a newspaper
tycoon, you're a motorcycle guy.
playing field with a lot of people.
So you're talking to
a guy about bikes and then you find out
that this guy's a neurosurgeon,
and you're, like,
"Huh, I thought he was just some
guy who rode a Honda. "
If you ever get on
that bike, president of a bank,
a leader of a country,
you're in.
You could get out of work
totally angry, take a little ride,
and boy you don't get two miles
down the road, and all of a sudden,
you've let go of all of that
stress, all that anxiety,
and now you're...
you're free.
In my view people
travel in bubbles, a lot.
The motorcycle gets you
out of the bubble.
We can't know where we're going
if we don't know where we've been.
In the old days, you
know, there were thousands of people
that came out to watch
the motorcycle races.
Some of the greatest riders
of all time, Ben Campanelli,
Jimmy Phillips, Bobby Hill and
Bill Tuman, and Ernie Beckman.
Ed Kretz.
Ed Kretz was my hero.
They were badass,
they were real men.
Like rodeoing,
there was no money in it,
there was no prestige in it, you
did it because you liked doing it.
I would have loved
to have been around during that era.
You know, it was just
throw it all out there.
It was a great time
in racing for sure.
It's about tradition, I
wanna keep those stories alive.
I don't want these people
to be forgotten.
I think
it's important
to preserve the lineage.
I mean, it's kinda funny,
