Thumbs up Why We Ride...

Going a little stir crazy not being able to ride this winter. The weather absolutely sucks here in WV.
Watched "Why We Ride" for the umpteenth time and it always brightens my mood.
It was released 7 years ago, but still hits home.
Some new ones here may not of seen it so if not, rent, download, stream, or buy it.
It's one of the best motorcycle documentaries ever made.
Really tells the story of why we ride.

My cousin lives in W. Va. (near Morgantown) & we talk all the time, so I know about the weather!
You have my sympathies. I would move there in a minute, but can't take the cold any longer.

There's a lot of nice road trip stuff on Youtube, taken with Go-Pros and such.
All you need is a spare set of handlebars and a fan.

I'll have to give this film a watch. I haven't seen it before. This got me thinking about the film, "On Any Sunday", came out in 1971 and all of us little pre-teen dirt bike rats went to see it multiple times.

I'm from Canada , all I do is watch riding shows / Docs / movies in my spare time . I watch them because I love hearing the sound of the bikes , it keeps me from wanting to go out to the shop and firing my bike up so I can hear her purrrr ... I have my hobbies but I still really hate winter ....

SB , I'll be looking for " On Any Sunday " , who knows I may have seen it , who knows ..
