Reuniting my Grandfather with his old motorcycle after 60 years apart!

Tired of all the negative news lately?
Enjoy this heartwarming video that I had the pleasure of documenting.
My uncle, Vince Zandbelt, tracked down, purchased and shipped my Opa's (Grandfather's) old 1956 motorcycle from Holland. He presented it to him this past weekend.
My Opa lost track of the motorcycle after leaving it in The Netherlands when he came to Canada in 1960.
When Vince was telling me the story and history of the bike I could kind of tell where the conversation was going and I had a smile from ear-to-ear. He wanted me to film Opa being reunited with his old motorcycle. I obviously jumped at the opportunity even though I knew I would get choked up filming it.
I love videos where people get reunited with their old vehicles and always wanted to film one. To have it happen in my own family was even more special. Couldn't have gone better.
Feel free to share the video to spread some positive news.

    In 1980, I bought my first motorcycle, a new Honda XL 185. Not a powerhouse, but it got me around and I drove it for about a year before I sold it to my cousin and moved away. My cousin sold it to my brother-in-law, who then sold it to the UPS driver. The little town where my family lived was too small for a UPS center, so the driver came every day from a town 80 miles away. His name was Chris. After several years, I returned to live in that town 80 miles away, and I was delivering furniture. One day, we had a delivery to a guy named Chris, and the delivery notes said that he might not be home during the day, and to go around to the back door for the furniture delivery. As I was going around the side of the house, I saw my old motorcycle leaning up against the fence. It was completely destroyed. Only about 8 years had passed, and I was saddened to see how badly that bike had been treated. But it brought back so many great memories. Yes, motorcycles are emotions.

    @@JimTom. Ofcourse you have the right to keep it. But as soon as something (which was the case in your example) is basically a burden to both, because it isn't being used and it is too big to fit in the garage, you have to find a new spot for it. And if you are unwilling to find a new spot or there are serious moneyproblems and you never ride it and you know there's "cash" in that thing that'll be needed to survive as humans, then you need to figure out what you want to do with it. I'm not suggesting men or women can't be overly-dominating about other people's stuff but in a normal relationship, a woman or men doesn't have the right to decide over the others person's valuables and whether or not he/she gets to 'keep' them. You DO however, need to work out what to do with expensive items that you don't use, especially if you're in difficult times, where illnesses, hunger, poverty or rent are demanding big steps to be taken. So yes, it's a horrible thing to have to sell your belongings, but I honestly don't think it's a normal course of events when your spouse 'makes you sell' things, like they're your parent. I am suspecting there was a case of poverty and there was a reality check that you can't eat a motorcycle.

This video was touching to me , because I would have reacted the same way. I feel sorry for anybody who never gets a chance to make great memories , because if your fortunate to live to 90 years old memories and your family are all you need. Besides the fact the family now has this heirloom to pass down to remember him when he passes away. Great video.

    I chased down my first motorcycle after 46 years since I had last seen it, an old Honda SS50 that I bought when I was 16 years old, it was a total wreck with many parts missing but I restored it to new condition over a 3 year period, it is now mounted on my living room wall but is took down once a fortnight and run for 5-10 miles to keep it right. My pride and joy that brings back happy memories each time I look at it, not worth a lot of money but to me it is priceless.

After such a long life lived, to have such a highlight come so late in life… he must’ve felt like a kid again and been overjoyed beyond words. I’m pleased this was documented. What a wonderful story to share.

As a 20 year old riding with him, I struggled to keep up with him, on a bike twice as powerful. Now 35 years later , the bikes are gone and so has my dad but the memory of our rides together are as fresh as yesterday. You created such a special moment, truly priceless.
