What Can Happen to a Kid: The lasting impact of “On Any Sunday”. An introduction to motorcycling.
Description
After seeing the movie "On Any Sunday" as an 11 year old, I was transformed. I fell in love with motorcycling. Little did I know what impact that riding would have on my outlook on life. In this week's Episode, we discuss the movie that many say inspired them to ride. We also read the lyrics to the movie's theme song that so graciously captures our passion for riding.
In this episode of Peace Love Moto, we explore the undeniable risks, expenses, and challenges of riding motorcycles—only to reaffirm why we do it anyway. Despite the dangers and costs, the thrill, freedom, and sheer joy of riding make it all worthwhile.
I share a personal journey that began at age 11, watching the legendary film On Any Sunday. The film’s final scene, featuring Steve McQueen, Mert Lawwill, and Malcolm Smith riding together, captured the essence of why we ride—not just for the adventure but for the camaraderie and pure happiness it brings.
From the first pull of the rope-start on my red mini-bike to the countless miles I've traveled since, riding has been a constant source of joy and personal reflection. It’s a way to escape, to reconnect with our past, and to find peace on the open road.
And maybe, just maybe, we are a little crazy. But if happiness is the measure, then it’s a craziness worth embracing.
Tune in for a heartfelt reflection on the ride of a lifetime.
