  • My first short film I made for film school. Motorcycles are a big part of life. I wanted to make a film to show how intimate we get with the road. Most people ride to get away from the daily grind and be alone. Even if you are riding with a friend, your own mind is what you have a conversation with. Others like to just take a drive in their car, but once you ride a motorcycle, the open road is never the same.
    Free
    Some people don’t realize the simple beauty the open road can have.
    Trapped in their box with loud music, air conditioning and tinted windows,
    they travel these beautiful roads with blinders.
    The best way to experience the open road, is on a motorcycle.
    The only thing in your ears is the roar of the engine,
    And your own voice in your head.
    Your mind gets lost in the details of the surrounding nature.
    You feel like you can ride into the clouds.
    You discover the beauty, of a simple road in the middle of nowhere.
    Emotions go through your head like yellow lines on the road.
    For that moment you’re on your bike,
    You feel free.
    Free to feel. Free to think. Free to live.

    12 years later and this clip still lives rent free in my mind. This video quite litterly changed my view on riding and where riding became a lifestyle.
    Thank you!

    Damn right! Bought a new Harley in 13, a 110th Anniversary model, Triglide. Left Denver and rode north to I-80. Took 80 to Reno. Spent the night. Next morning headed Richmond, crossed the bay to San Quentin, caught 101 and headed down the coast. Crossed the Golden Gate, cruised around San Francisco for a day, next morning caught hi way 1 south to Morro Bay, then inland to Bakersfield, across Death Valley to Hiway 95, then south to Vegas. From Vegas to Phoenix, then eastward thru the Tonto National Forest to I-25 at Socorro New Mexico, then north thru Albuquerque and on to Denver. A helluva ride and vacation. I can definitely relate to this video.

    This video is genius. The freedom on the motorcycle is not the freedom in terms of movement ....but freedom from your mind. The cliche is true. You can find zen on a motorcycle. Sadly this video has not been discovered by many.

      I agree I been struggling with depression my whole life and the moment I sat on a bike for my first time I couldn't stop smiling I couldn't ride it cz I had no experience on a motorcycle with that much power cz it was a zx14r superbike and would have ripped my arms off but I now have a ktm exc 500 with a power commander on it and I ride almost everyday seeing as I live in texas that is hot af and im always smiling on the inside of my helmet riding is the best antidepressant ive ever had

    Peace... Serenity... things sometimes so hard to come by... and yet while watching this, hearing his words, and seeing the ride, I felt a soft warm feeling coming over me, chills, a sort of spiritual experience that I am lucky enough to have when I ride... that I was lucky enough to feel, sitting here at my desk, watching this.
    He put my thoughts and emotions in writing... and then set them in motion.
    Thank you for this.

    Andrew - Nice short. Keep up the good work. Time and space morphs into a whole new dimension on the open road, with no barrier between you and the eternal here after but the machine and your will to live. The more miles ridden the great the time space warp. We who ride understand.

    I look to the skies and just grimace..."It just had to rain today...didn't it?"
    I'll have a great, warm, sunny weekend...but that's two days away.. Ahhhhhhh
    Well, this video made me feel a little better.. my turn soon.

    An old man was sitting on a porch at a country store one day when another gray haired soul pulled in on his motorcycle. He asked the old man on the porch, “Do you know where this road comes out?” “This road goes all the way to California” he said as he wearily peered into the distance. “But... I have never been down it.” The Biker looked down the road for a second, took a deep breathe and cranked it up. The old man watched until he couldn’t see him anymore, and listened until he couldn’t hear anymore. There are only 2 kinds of people.
