Best drummer alive today. Nice to see him riding and don't think that's recent.

Not my favorite music, but love their attitudes.
Thanks for the post.

Geddy is also a bit of a runner, having done several 10K's and a marathon or two.

That song that plays (briefly) at 7:10 is off the Vapor Trails CD, which also has the song Ghost Rider. The song is a reference to a trip that Niel took as a trek to recenter life after he lost his daughter and wife, riding his BMW through the western US and Canada, into Alaska and south into Nevada. He wrote a book by the same title (Ghost Rider) chronicling the journey.

It was a sad day when the band announced that they would no longer tour. Niel's arthritis has gotten bad enough that he just can't do it any more.

Neal has also written a couple/few books about his riding adventures.
