Notes et avis

Excellent and exceedingly well done. You can taste the freedom that motorcycling and moto culture brings in this film as it attempts to describe this world. All the negative reviews must be from zombies without a pulse. If you didn't get the chills and/or teary eyed at least once there is something wrong with you. Haters gotta hate though so I'll move on. Although moto culture is far more deep, richer and diverse than this film describes it does do a good job of showing that A- It's for everybody and B- That there is a special bond between those who ride that's almost fraternal in nature yet open and free to all who fly upon two wheels. I would have liked to have soon more detail and time spent on custom shops and the culture surrounding them but on second thought that could place a ton of emphasis on the bikes instead of on the people and culture, where it should be and of which the film makers did quite well. All in all, good job and well done. I thoroughly enjoyed it AND my Mom who watched it with me and who has been opposed to riding in the past is now talking about getting one some day! That's powerful filmmaking at it's finest right there ladies and gents! ;-) Bravo!

A great movie that documents the culture, history and emotional attachment to the hobby we call motorcycling. A joy to watch and inspirational boost to my already love affair with the sport. A good tool for showing your family members and friends that either don't ride or understand your joy of it. Beautiful photography, great appearances from noted persons of the sport and great background history.

Movies in Hollywood have attempted to make movies that attracts the biker community. From The Wild One in 1953 to Biker Boyz. None of them ever explain the real feeling in the hearts body and soul that a real biker feels. This by far is the best documentary that has been made. I applaud you guys for making one heck of a film. I got the privilege to see the screening in January in Scottsdale AZ.
