  • "This ride home delivered everything I thought I knew about spirituality and the importance of life - all wrapped up in 9 days of intense, miserable, bone-soaking, isolating, overwhelming and meaningful adventure that I never asked for. And I loved every minute of it."
    Speedy Donahue shares his Freedom Story.

    Brother, this documentary is as good, well spoken as I have ever seen. You eloquently described everything that can’t be described about the journey, not the destination, the culture, the community, the family we are. I’ve often told others “if I have to describe it, you’ll never get it”. There is a special bond between you and that bike. I remember my first road trip, leaving at 5am with a buddy, 540 miles ahead of us for Day 1. 30 miles out of town, I caught myself watching that pavement fly by under my foot pegs, thinking... “wow, I’ve got 5 more days of this”. The weather, the elements, is part of the deal. You endure, and it makes for fun story telling later. No social media, no phones or laptops, no music or tv, no busy-ness; only a time to let your mind defrag. The people met, the tourist who want a picture with you at the gas pump, the guys next to you in a diner, asking “where ya from, where ya going”, living vicariously thru your adventure in their minds, who are as genuine as can be, are the salt of the earth. Nothing matters more than a smile and a handshake. And yet, our riding community, those that ride further than our nearest neighborhood sports bar, is at yet another level. You said it best, they have your back, they/we thrive for community. Your piece here has spurred on my thoughts, my excitement about our family on the blacktop. Keep riding brother, and ride often. You’re on to something, and you author up better than most.

    Now take a 3 week trip with no time schedule or place to be. That's when you really see what a motorcycle is all about. Try to camp as much as you can. It will be a trip you never forget. No plans no time schedule no reservations just take as it comes damn it's great that way.

    3 years later, I still rewatch this with joy. Nowadays, it's rare to see non-baggers, but it makes my heart happy Speedy did it on a Fat Bob. Good for you.

    This was awesome..! I’d love to see more of these feature length videos on this channel. This made me feel proud to be American, and an even more proud Harley owner! Even though I make a living working on just about every other make of motorcycle (at a large multi-line dealership), my heart and sole is in all the Harleys I own and love...

    It was amazing to be on one short leg of this trip from Scottsdale AZ into the mountains and the rain. Everyone has a unique story but the bottom line, it is therapy!
