Stories of bike
This whole thing started, as most personal projects start I suppose, out of frustration.
Back in 2012, I had just seen two fantastic short films "Solus" by Lossa Engineering and "Chabott Engineering (Shinya Kimura)" by Henrik Hansen and was simultaneously blown away how well these films were made and frustrated that there weren't more like them.
Soon after, I found the occasional short bike film. But they tended to be much the same. About a builder, working with his hands and why he or she builds and rides the bikes they do. I could never find a video that went further back than that. I wanted to hear their story that got them there.
Not just builders, but every day riders and their bikes. Their histories, their dreams, challenges, loves and losses. I wanted to see these stories and how riding a bike makes it all better.
But I'm no film maker. I had made a few family videos here and there and had a camera that could shoot video. It wasn't until a series of catalytlismic events that drove me to decide that, if no one else was going to make the videos that I wanted to see, I would.
So I created this video series. Just so I could see your bikes and hear your stories.
The Stories of Bike team is pretty small. It's just me and my youngest brother, Jack. I seek the stories, produce, shoot and edit while my brother writes original score. It takes about 3 weeks to produce an episode with 3-4 days of shooting and 2 weeks of editing and music writing.
It's a big effort for two guys who live in two separate states to do, but we have some great help from every rider who features in an episode and the Sydney Cafe Racers, who have been a huge source of ongoing support.
This is Stories of Bike.

America's first all-electric motocross track
The first electric motor cross track in the U.S. (Penrose, North Carolina)
That MX - motocross is a noisy business, is quite clear. Neighbours complain about the noise often supported by the local "green party" to take this complaints into court, however the MX track was in most cases there before this "green" people moved in the neighbourhood and so a lot MX tracks in Europe are threatened with closure.
Electric MX - Zero motorcycles - Video from another track
The Darkgreenmotorsports 1,400 meter track in Penrose, North Carolina opened in October 2011 and was designed with the help of
experienced motocross riders to try and make sure that beginners and
experienced riders alike would get something special from a visit. Told company founder Stephen Salzman.
Is electric the future of motorsports? If so Darkgreenmotorsports, takes a headstart.
Although I will be missing the smell of gasoline in the morning...

Petrolheads unite ! Bikers & car & truck drivers unite !
French motorbikers, car drivers, truckdrivers and everybody who needs a petrol fueled vehicle to go to work or make a living is getting tired of the gouvernment (policy) of bullying them with radar and camera control, traject control and expensive fines for the slightest traffic offence.
Obviously, the failing supernational state of Europe is going bankrupt rapidly, so extra taxes are needed to fund the legion of non elected EU officials.
The most easy way to do that is traffic control and fines. All in the name of traffic security and a greener environment. But in fact, the only and real goal is to seperate you and your money.
Do as the French : Unite and take action !
