This is "Ride," and we're in Northern Italy.
When you're young,
life is just something waiting to be discovered.
Thirty years ago, I took off to see the world.
And those experiences shaped who I am today.
["La Gente Del Mio Cuore" by Alex Rossi plays]
But somehow I never made it to Northern Italy.
It's the land of rustic food and high-octane cars,
a place that's always been on my radar.
So, I'm making this journey the best way I know how,
with someone who has lived it.
One of my very first auditions ever,
I think I kill it.
The audition? Yep.
And she goes, "Could you do it better,
but could you do it more good-looking,
like Josh from 'Lost'?"
And I went "What?"
That's ridiculous.
Yeah. And then I looked you up,
and I was like, "Okay, yeah. He's really good-looking.
I never would have gotten that job."
Wait. What years did you live here?
Oh, my God, early '90s.
Early '90s I got here.
I had made, like, 600 bucks the night before
in New York as a waiter,
and that's all the money I had.
And that ran out, and in, like, three weeks
I was stealing fruit from fruit stands.
Going to grocery stores and open a yogurt
and drink it and put it back.
Then I'd jump all the turnstiles.
I never had money for a ticket.
So, the carabinieri got me, like had me held.
But it was, like, it was amazing
because you're 18.
Yeah. You're like, "Whatever."
And then I met this girl that I ended up dating,
which you'll meet her brother.
Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.We became close friends.
I would be here starving
and washing my clothes in the bidet.
And they dress me.
I'm, like, driving around in a Volvo, you know?
Going to discos, and then I'd go back,
wash my clothes in the bidet, like, starve, steal fruit.
It was just a complete dichotomy.
Dual personalities.It was crazy.
So, I got to know Italy from them.
But also I hooked up with Versace.
Mm-hmm.
We did -- I did the first campaign
for younger people. It was called "Versus."
And got to know them.
And then we'd hang out with Donatella and Paul Beck
and Gianni, actually.
Versace was still alive at that -- at that time.
But they kind of saved me a bit,
because that got my career going.
But we were wild. It was wild back then.
I bet. Oh, my God.

We're here to test our skills
in some of the finest Italian speed machines on the planet.
Niccola. Nice to meet you.Nice to meet you.
Pleasure, pleasure, Dario.
Dario. Niccola. Nice to meet you.
I'm Norman.
Look at that. That is badass.
[Laughter]
We're going to test different bikes today,
from the Ducati Monster
up to the Mulistrada Pikes Peak.
Great.Okay.
Thanks for having us.
You kidding me? This is an honor.
Yeah, it's an honor. Thank you so much.
So, you can change your clothes.Alright.
Ahh!
You need to move this one down a little bit.
Size seems perfect.Wow.
Alright! Unbelievable.
Never thought I'd see this, Holloway.
[Laughs]
I'm exhausted right now.
I couldn't --I mean, what the [bleep]
Reedus: I never thought I'd see this, either,
mainly because I have no clue
how I'm going to squeeze into this thing.
Okay, think cool thoughts. Cool thoughts.
Let go to discover your beautiful bikes.
I love it.Yeah.
Okay, what color you want, Norman?
I'll take this sucker.
Okay, I'll take this one.
♪♪
Whoo-hoo!

Reedus: "If you can dream it, you can do it."
Enzo Ferrari's famous words
exemplify the ingenuity found throughout the Motor Valley.
Whoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!
The passion for craftsmanship and performance
you can feel navigating every turn.
Whoo!
Italian innovation at its finest.
Whoo! Awesome!
It was very good. Is tight, eh?Whoo!
♪♪
That test run was pretty awesome.
But these are high-powered speed demons
that can go from zero to 180 in the blink of an eye.
♪♪
So, before we can push their limits,
we've got to work on one little thing --
how to stop.
♪♪
Dario: Okay, good.
Alright, go!
Okay.
Yee-ha!
♪♪
Reedus: It's easy to go fast.
Yeah, I hurt my toe. [bleep]
Aah!
It's the braking part that will get you.
You hurt? I think.
♪♪
Hey, buddy.
[Laughing] Hey, man.
Are you okay?
I am pissed.
What, you hit the brakes? I saw your back tire come up.
It went up, and I panicked, like a dummy,
and jammed my foot down.
I think it's just a small fracture
but it's right in the knuckle, so I can't --
I can't bend it.
It's a little purple.
Is it purple?Yeah.
Well, purple is a pretty color.
Are you going to the hospital?
I'll be out in no time.
Alright, brother.
We're going to meet up with Josh in Bologna
once some doctors have checked him out.
Pleasure.Thanks so much, dude.
Thank you for teaching me some stuff.
Yeah, you're a great rider. Keep pushing.
Alright. I'll be in the bathroom for 45 minutes taking this off.
♪♪
I hope he's okay.
♪♪
While Josh heads to the hospital,
I'm off on a solo ride to our final destination,
the capital city of Bologna.
♪♪
Reedus: These are cool columns right here.
This is a cool road.
Wow, that's a crazy-looking tower up in front of us, wow.
It's so cool.
Woman: Bologna is like for me is a tiny Milan.
Bologna is hidden for a little bit.
It's full of history.
It's medieval, very historical.
Reedus: These colors, yellow and green and burnt orange.
Bologna is the universe.
Everyone loved the idea to study
in the most ancient university in the world.
There is a tower that is called Torre degli Asinelli, maybe.
I don't know. So, go there and visit.
Reedus: It's not exactly how I pictured rolling
into our final destination, without a co-rider.
But Josh couldn't ride with his injured foot.
So, we're going to meet back up and visit
some of his old hangouts.
And I can already see why he loved it here.
Look at this area right here. This is where Josh used to live.
Yeah, this is crazy.
♪♪
Dude, what happened? Are you alright?
Oh, [bleep] yeah, I'm fine, man.
It's okay.
[bleep]
Did you...We didn't do the track.
It doesn't matter. It was a beautiful ride here.
Exactly! We did do two laps on the track, you know.
Let's go meet your friend.
Let's go meet Luca.Yeah, let's go.
Alright!
♪♪
Come sta? Bene, bene.
Let me introduce you to my buddy.
This is Norman, Luca.
Nice to meet you.Unbelievable.
Get together. I'm going to take a proper picture.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
Luca Moratori, Josh's lifelong friend...
a reunion years in the making.
For the special ones, the true friends in life,
time is of no object,
and 30 years can suddenly feel like yesterday.
Tell me some stories about Josh back in the day.
We -- when we walk around and get the big joints and smoke
some [bleep]
We were young, young.
He's strange man.
I love Josh. Is great, is great friendship.
We went to Greece together to --
We spent a month in Mykonos.
Moratori: Yes. You remember.
The barko and the tequila.
Yes, in the night,
we take a small boat and one bottle of tequila.
And we go up on the seat.
And then we go over that thing,
and come se dice, donkey?
Whaa! And it reared up.
Reedus: Reminiscing brings connection,
a renewed sense of belonging.
And just being here a few minutes,
I can already see the changes in my friend.
We're going to go and see the place where I lived here.
Sweet!And check that out.
How far away is it?
Five minutes' walk. Let's do it.

Oh, man. I can't believe this, man.
I'm in Bologna. This is beautiful.
Look at these streets, bro.

He just said, "Sawyer."Yes.
Ah, this is the street. Yeah.
The door was green.Which color was it?
Is this all making sense to you?
Yes!Having a flashback right now?
I've got so many memories, bro, going through me right now.
[Laughs]
Ciao, ragazzi.
Grandissimo!
Nice to meet you.
One, two, one, two, three, four!

Ooh.Oh!
Wow!This is it?
Yes.This is my door.
Why don't you two get in front of the door?
I'm going to take a picture.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
One, two, one, two, three, four.
Oh, thank you. Amazing, man. This is like...
♪♪
Reedus: Every door holds stories.
Some are destined and innate,
kind of like those old church doors back in Milan,
while others come from a much more personal experience.
This is the door. Incredible.
Thirty years ago.
Thirty years ago, I lived here.
This one opened up a new world for Josh...
...this place is absolutely amazing.
...and all these years later, for me...
[Laughs] This is incredible, man.
...because while this was my first trip to Northern Italy,
I'm already planning my return.
Hey, how's it going, dude?

Ha ha!
Oh, man.
You feel this feeling here, man?
Cheers!Cheers!
Thank you for having me on this, bro.
This is opening up so much for me again.

it confirmed everything that I have been wanting to do.
I feel like you've had a vision quest.
I feel like that!
I feel like I've been on a vision quest.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't been this happy in three, four years, you know.
Nice.So, this --
Enjoy. You deserve it.

My kids have to live here
sometime to feel the difference.
It's incredible place.
Incredible. It's magic.
When you're young, anything seems possible.
But it's a belief that fades with time.
