The longer he sat on the bike the younger he looked. The smiles said it all. Well done, and props to its caretakers overseas that it survived that many years.

The power of the motorcycle!

Motorcycle is freedom 🥰

And this is why I love motorcycles, particularly old ones... and motorcycle people.

Motorcycle is just not a vehicle, it’s an emotion

Reminds me of my Dad 1921 - 2010 ---- the greatest generation, that knew not to blow their own trumpet!

It's not a bike!!! It's family!!! And a family never let another family alone!

I would love to see him on the back of a bike, one more ride. Knowing it would be to much for him, I would still love to see him do a ride on his old bike.I am sure he wishes the same thing. It was so nice to see the big smile while he twisted the throttle. Once a biker, always a biker.

I'd bet they could rig something up to let him go a short distance safely. Sort of like it's on tracks, rails to keep it upright and going straight so it can't fall or turn. Might still be too reckless to try but it would be sweet.

One of them should have taken him in a side car for a ride indeed.

@japwrap F the sidecar. I'd reckon it be worth a ride even if he breaks the bike a bit..... as long as he doesn't get injured. If I was him at his age, I may just ride it even if I thought I might crash it a bit.

Wonderful bro I got tears 🥲 by seeing both videos of your grandpa !! Jesus Christ bless him 🙏

Only a Canadian can get give a smile and a chuckle out of being called an Ol' Bastard! Cheers to our friends to the north. Love your country and your people.

haha thanks so much!

Congratulations Sir! Well deserved!

Beautiful story. THANKS FOR SHARING

I am so happy for him.

His smile sums up all the video, that was beautiful!

all through the years for sure he never thought this could - or even would - happen ! . . . getting back his old love . . . . . . being recruted and becoming member of a riding brotherhood . . . this is the best medicine he could ever get. I hope he has many more years to enjoy all that er hat es sich verdient ! und ja, je länger er auf der Maschine sitzt, umso jünger wirkt er :-)

The smile tells the whole story.

Fabulous. Hi from the IUK.

god bless you old bastard.............

What an absolutely beautiful video. God bless Grandad and the whole Zandbelt family. I watched your other video where you presented the bike back to Grandad Zandbelt. Tears of happiness for you all.

I remember an art teacher in junior high school driving a DKW car. Two strke v- twin sitting out on the front of the car. Grill work was behind the motor. Only seen that one car.

The brotherhood thanks

Lovely initiation into the club!

That's the world I used to know! Great work you old bastards!

Muchas gracias por compartir esta linda historia en este video y el anterior, saludos a tu abuelo de otro motoquero desde el fin del mundo Chile. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful story in this video and the previous one, greetings to your grandfather from another motorcycle rider, from the end of the world, Chile

والله الا جاتني البكية. واتمنى ندير بحال هكا لوالدي. I was emotional, thank you for what you did with your lovely dad. Please ,tell me how did you restore the pictures , if I can do it to my dad pictures. Thanks 🇲🇦👍❤

I really hope that he can regain enough strength and agility to enjoy safely riding that bike again.

his walk has a pep in the step.. even if its only in his minds eye down some old two lane memory lane backroad... the freedom he feels reunited with ,, gives him fellowship amongst his fellow bikers....past present and future.. great job all envolved..... hip hip hooray..

I'm 47 years old and i'm crying

How is your dad doing now? I hope he is staying healthy.

Can you get a sidecar for that bike? If so, your grandpa could have a blast and feel the wind in his hair again.

Wow how Cool was that :) How can I get a old Bastards Pin and Patch. I am 57 yrs old and I have been riding since I was a kid. Started with dirt bikes but have always road street bikes since 18yrs old What I would give to get reunited with my first Harley. It was a 1968 900 xl Harley Davidson:)

How is dad now?

Laat hem dan ook een stukje rijden.

What a great day voor Wim to get a lifetime membership of this bike club, love to see him smile. All the best for you and the Zandbelt family, groetjes uit Nederland! Did you see the Dutch coverage of the story? kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6OrtLB8qqiYo9o.html

Very moving story! But I don't think the old bike was restored to that condition. There was hardly any metal left on the old one to "restore". I think the "restored" bike came from a factory warehouse where it was preserved properly and sent to Canada to please the old man. Anyway, very nice gesture indeed!

get a side car bike and take him for a ride
