Good movie with nice cinematography and decent music. Nicely done.
It attempts to formulate an answer to that question that non-motorcyclists often ask us - why do you ride a motorcycle? In my own personal case, "it relaxes me and clears my head" rang most true.
Other quotes from the movie I enjoyed include (paraphrased):
"I've been riding for 26 years, but not until I took a few lessons did I realize that I actually only had 1 year of experience, replayed 25 times over." So true, so true.
"You meet the nicest people on a Honda." That brilliant marketing campaign truly had a profound, game-changing impact on motorcycling. In my own case, it helped convince my Aunt/Uncle to allow my cousin (their son) to buy a Honda Dream. After getting a ride on it, I immediately knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. My profession was always secondary.
Two things I really liked about the movie were:
1) It didn't categorize brands (e.g,. HD versus non HD brands), or styles (dual-sport versus sport) - everyone is riding, equally.
2) It covered & encouraged female and youth riders. And the female riders weren't "oversized mamas", spewing swear words while holding a beer in their hand. Nicely done.
Worthwhile viewing, IMHO.

Interesting question and one I really haven't a clue....Dad took me to Onion head and Wilbur at the local HD shop when I was a kid....they serviced all the PD HD's...Wilbur taught me to ride a small bike on the sidewalk in front of his shop....an Italian made HD....I never looked back and never really wondered why I rode a bike ... years later I can enjoy crating my ole bones into a "cage" and going for a "look-see" but nothing beats the feel of the ride and the sight of the asphalt ribbon under your wheels.
