Every one of you, old and young, male and female, need to watch this video.
It will make you smile, and if you don't feel better after watching it - even with a tear in your eye - then...well...

PLEASE! Just watch it!

And then just live and ride again!

That was a great commercial Harry. Loved the video. TC bank in Taiwan did one a year or so before that with Taiwanese teachers and another whose topic I've now forgotten.

The whole story in this commercial is based on real events too. In real life the hearing impaired guy in this shoot didn't actually exist. Production included him to make it a more entertaining story. The real group was actually something like 10-12 rather than just five and included a couple women. Have read a news account of this commercial calling it the "three minutes that made Taiwan cry." It was a big hit at home.

If I make it to my 80s I hope I'm still riding.

Good background information, Don. I know my eyes watered a bit watching it. Why can't more ads be like this?

Thanks for sharing. If you have not seen it, and most have, watch the documentary Why We Ride it is also inspiring.

Some days it almost feels like it

! I've decided that the current process is just stupid though. For the next few years I'm going to try getting younger at each birthday and let the whole thing even out for awhile.

Well thought out video, seen it before but still hits a spot. I think I share the same thoughts as most on riding as long as possible. I sure hope everyone on this Forum gets to be that lucky and not only gets the longevity but the ability to ride as we age. Maybe some of us give up to easily, I don't know.

Don you have always seem to have answers to some difficult questions, so how do you get to know so darn much? Yeah I'm jealous. I know you and a few other on this Forum have helped put me & many others in the right direction on more than one occasion.

Wish you did house calls!
