I often get asked why I ride. Most times I’m not able to articulate the reasoning, so I thought it was about time I figured it out. Done in more of a music video style, I fancy myself a better writer than speaker, so I hope you don’t mind a bit of a monologue. Let me know if you enjoy it.

As an introvert, normal is a bit of a stretch. But weird is good, so ... bite me :D

awesome video 🙂 please what the name of that song 3:11
+Miggs7170 Had to come back and watch it again
This is still to this day one of the greatest videos I have seen on YouTube! Absolutely amazing and inspiring!! Well done!!
What do i feel when i ride a motorcycle?But firstly, why cars seem to loose the freedom comparison, everytime?Makes no sense to me, since i own both, and i manage to get the thrill of the road in both of them.Take your car for a long drive, but choose the soundtrack of your trip, as carefully as you choose the road.Pave a way, set a mood, build transitions, create musical landscapes.And you´ll feel it too.When i´m inside this mindset, it feels to me as soloing an electric guitar over some good old rock n´roll.It makes me grin. A lot. It´s that child´s sense of awe for each note that flows the right way.So, it doesn´t really matter wether it´s car or bike.Riding just seems to make it more… immediate, that´s all.A simple commute can be a buzz.But that´s all.The “cagers have no freedom” crap makes absolutely no sense to me.I drive. And it clicks to me too.I just “play them notes”… and let go..
I’m in my early 60’s and back riding again after 30 years. You put into words exactly how I feel now. Thanks. And a mental note to myself… I’m not giving up riding again. Can’t afford to waste anymore time.
The Judge was entered CAPS LOCK MODE! 😀
“Taking the long way home, after a particularly difficult day at work” I can relate. This videos deserves a lot more views. Subbed.
Couldn’t put it better myself
this is a great story
Beautiful is so many ways including @ 2:45.
Can’t wait to get on a bike again. Been out for 3 months and it’s been the worse 3 months of my life But God is good and in few weeks. I will be wrapping my soul to a bike again 🙂
Why do villagers so ugly?
had to watch this twice, first time throu i kept staring at the wigeling beard…glorious =Pgreat video!

This video is awesome. You exactly described that feeling. Too bad, so many people will never discover this feeling, because they are to afraid of getting hurt. Instead they’ll continue to live their boring life. Ride safe brother!
so do i get banned if i do it in private match or solo?
Awesome video man…ride safe, and keep the videos coming..

WAIT WAIT WAIT Did IGN actually put a link in the description for something??? This is a rare sight…
Although the “narration” aspect of this video was a bit blah, the content was good. I connected personally with the idea of “taking the long way home, after a particularly difficult day at work.” Few, in cars, can relate to that statement, but many bikers will. The unfortunate part of that scenario, is that “I” find that if I don’t think about what I’m doing, on the bike, it can be problematic. Yes, I do much in “automatic” mode when I ride, but still. I catch myself in stupid mistakes. Car drivers get distracted by cellphones, eating, whatever………..but it’s possible on a bike too.
By far my most favourite video, awesome stuff
U only run… but good song..
“……..After a long day at work, I decided to take the long way home.” I can sure relate to that statement. I’ve been known to do that, for that reason!!
MAKE MORE SUPER SMASH MOBS VIDEOS
Im 13 ( not of age to drive road duh ) and ive been riding dirt for a couple years, and after spending my first month riding, i automatically told my self as soon as im of age im getting my license and a supermoto,a single month of riding and i was addicted, the feeling of riding with friends is the best, but the idea of being able to ride everyday, coming back from school, going to school, just going to a friends house, the idea of having everything as an excuse to ride, not like dirt riding where its more of an exception, the world of motorcycles just seems so appealing to me, its seems like a beautiful place and a beautiful way of life. BUT NOW BECAUSE OF YOU I WANT TO RIDE EVEN MORE I HOPE YOURE HAPPY BECAUSE YOU SHOULD BE.
love it!
One of the best explanations I’ve ever heard. Well put together, well thought out and well said. Couldn’t have said it better myself, thanks a lot.
Thanks for this upload
Very cool. Love riding in Cape Town. Beautiful video.
Love how deep this is lol
let me know if you need help with your whoolies!
Cheers man
Hell yeah man awesome video. I’m a huge James McMurtry fan as well. WE CANT MAKE IT HERE ANYMORE! You need to check out Chris knight one of my favorites of his song North Dakota and Ray Wylie Hubbard one of my favorites by him is Mother Blues check them out you won’t be disappointed
I really enjoyed this video, the scenery and music really got me choked up a little. Liked and favorited!
I Think you hit the nail on the head there perfectly well said great watch.
Great video, perfectly said. It is a hard sensation to put in words. Great job.
the 5 nay-sayers are cagers =P
I thought the scenery looked like home!!! CAPE TOWN 😀
So true and to the point. These are the same reasons I’ve been riding since 1978. …..just can’t wait to get on the road again.
I almost cried!
Nice vid, and if that’s your beard… then you’re the king!
Nice vid, and if that’s your beard… then you’re the king!

You nailed it, makes me want to jump on my bike right now.
Great video! Loved it. You got my sub. Amazing.
Speaking the gospel, straight from the bikers bible.
Well i think you articulated that message for every single rider out there! lol That was very well written Miggs i really enjoyed that video thanks for the upload. 😉 Liked & Shared
Could not have said better.
This was truly awesome brother nobody would ever understand unless they owned a motorcycle thank you
Very poetic…my thoughts exactly… Until people try it they’re not goin to know how good it is…
Couldn’t have said it better myself. Really nice dude!
Wow, Found this through weem. What a fantastically articulate way of putting your feelings and thoughts out into the community. Thank you for sharing, probably what a lot of us feel. Even if we don’t care to speak up or share. Thank you
Excellent!
Great video. You have put into words exactly why I love to ride.
Exactly ….
Riding gives me peace of mind. Nice vid!
sry, i wanted to say that i’m not able to understand every word 😉 i forgot the “not” 😀
that’s definetly a thumb worth. so bad that i’m able to understand every single word you say, cause i’m german and not that good in english course ^^ i’m so proud that i did my license this summer and become such so nervouse when i sit on my bike and start the engine, but it just feels so great when the unsafe feeling disappears 😉 feeling the wind and the angle when you drive through a corner is just great. even the sound of rain dripping of the helmet and jacket can be so hypnotizing.it’s the passion of riding on two wheels that combines every bike, no matter which kind of bike he is rivding.love it 🙂
We ride to live! Thanks for sharing.
Nice
Nice video 🙂
Great video man . Im 54 been riding since i could steal the old mans bike out of the shed and i still get that heart pounding shallow breathing every time i ride ,I pray that feeling nevers gose away.
Others will never know why. I cant even explain it. would be nice to ride with you one day. Love it
great video
try wearing some pants man, they would keep you safe. ride safe bro. godspeed.
Those sheep in their cages will never understand.
Ha! The beard is just the natural state of my face. It makes most cruiser beards look like teenage fluff anyhow xD
Cool, however, as it appears you have a beard, shouldn’t you be on a cruiser? 🙂
Cheers =)
100% class Sir….
Thanks, Blinky =) You made the first motovlogs I ever watched and helped get me into this whole thing. Been a big fan for a very long time. Glad to see you back on two. In the process of resubbing since YT wiped my list when they forced me content creators to G+. Ride safe, boet.
Really good video Miggs! 🙂
Thanks for watching, Wan. Glad you enjoyed it =)
hope this make people understand when they watch the video..it’s not just a ride, it’s a therapy..thankyou 4 making an awesome video 🙂
