I needed this. I lost my Dad 2 weeks ago. Him and I rebuilt his rigid shovel back when I was about 19. Then he sold it to me for a dollar. I haven’t ridden that bike in about 20 years. Now I need to put it back together. Thanks for the video.

[@thisismaxpower]

YOU NEED TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER!

[@881qyk]

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there and get back out on that bike. He’ll be with you 🙏🏽

Thanks Amigo

[@twocupstwodrams7535]

A vintage chopper in the garage for several years is an interesting vetting mechanism for finding riding partners. "the prize is in the process." Thank you for sharing. Ride Free

[@tasatasat]

Guess I'm crazy cause I can't stop riding. Even when cold weather hits people are winterizing their bikes and I'm layering up to ride.

[@EasyDoesitmoto]

These videos always hit me right in the soul, this one especially. Nothing better then going on a ride with some mates. Keep up the amazing work my friend

[@BlueTodd]

Thanks amigo. I will.

[@TarDaniel]

I wish this chopper culture would be more of a thing in my area. Nice movie again! 🙂

So random! Not sure how KZbin made the connection but when I saw your name I sat down and knew this was going to be good. You always bring the truth! Nothing recharges you like a ride with solid dudes. Early in the video I saw Marcus from a distance then Chase and Polgreen. Wow! Love ya Thom

I just started riding motorcycles this year, I moved up from a moped. I bought a Yamaha cruiser, and ended up taking a trip only about 50 miles away in the summer. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever done. I never knew looking from the outside that bikes could be a part of something so special.

[@jthebk3864]

Listened to the full 5 hours and man was this a good one. I think you're right any person on any bike can really develop that sense of community and adventure but there is definitely something so special about choppers. My game plan is to build one as soon as the funds are available. If you ever want to interview someone who lost a leg riding but is still in love with it then I'm always down and I'm in socal. I'd love to go for a cruise with you some time. Currently all I've got is a KLR650 but I'm one of those 26 year old kids you were talking about that's obsessed with chopper culture, I just need to find more friends out here to help guide me, until then I'll be saving every penny I can and cruising on my adventure bike haha
