one of the best feelings in the world is cruising on a hog with the wind on your face. there certainly has been a resurgence of motorcycle obsession which seems to have started with the clothes, hair and culture and moved over to the motorcycles themselves almost secondarily. although i started riding motorcycles as a preteen i must confess, my own fascination is not derived from torque and pistons but rather the history and culture surrounding these two wheeled beasts. especially in england and america in the 60s. inevitably all counter-cultures become subcultures and some of those become the prevailing mainstream. this film helps add some context and can help those quarter-life crisis, tire kicking dweebz get closer to knowing what a cafe racer actually means. just kidding that was just fun to type. it is good to find films like this that would have been otherwise unaccessible so we can take in the grit, punk and flair of 1959 and beyond.
