Bubble Mail:

"Hi,
I would appreciate it greatly if you could share this info about the documentary film about the Finnish road racer Juha Kallio. We have no way of marketing this film so we only rely on other fans and motorcyclists to share this info. I am also attaching some still images and poster if you decide to publish this and would like to use them.

The Fast of The Forest - a documentary film of the Finnish road racer Juha Kallio will be screened at this year's Isle of Man TT! This is the international premiere for the film.
The film will be screened at the Manx Museum, from June 1st to 7th, every day at 11am. The entry is free, with donations to a local motorsport charity. Duration of the film is 70 minutes. The film's director Antti Jääskeläinen will be introducing the film on Mad Sunday.
Synopsis: Juha Kallio is a Finnish road racer. For years he has been dreaming of racing in the glorious Isle of Man TT. However getting to know the track and leaving his hometown Imatra behind turns out to be harder than expected. A film about obsession, passion and reaching out for your dreams.
All support and help in sharing this event is greatly appreciated, and this will surely be an unusual experience to see for all the TT fans.
This year Juha Kallio is racing in the Finnish 777RR team.

The Chop with Ed Oxley

Bubble mail:

"Love your site and thought I’d send you my new short video. It’s not all about motorbikes but it does have a vintage bike in bits, didgeridoo playing, mountain biking, pretty autumn leaves, barbering and some classy violence. It’s been a big hit so far in the mountain bike sphere and I’d like to get it out elsewhere. So if it amuses you maybe you’ll bob it up on your site?"

 

Thanks Ed!

Great short movie, ha 

The end is brilliant

Just one question - Arthur Paul Heisler - Wheels and Waves 2013

My one question is:
Who handed me the crackpipe just before I got interviewed for this very nice short movie from Arthur Paul Heisler?
Now sit back and enjoy the movie and start saving for next year.

Cycles South 1971

Found this movie yesterday.

A non rider on Paracinema wrote a nice review of the movie.

I edited a bit because it's a a lot of words and some of is just wrong but it's a nice read.
Read the complete review here


"Cycles South is a documentary about 3 guys (and a handful of crew) driving tiny engine 2-stroke (they start on four strokes) motorcycles all the way from Denver to Panama in 4 months. These dudes don’t just take the highways and bi-ways though. Oh no, most of the time they’re cruising through forests, deserts, and beaches on non-off-road bikes. Hell these aren’t even dual purpose bikes, they’re straight up street rides which is pretty amazing. Driving over tree branches, crashing through jungles and swamps, these guys are hardcore. They eat shit a lot too which the narrator points out to us viewers in his sarcastic, older-brother bullying way. Speaking of the narrator this film is filled with sexist remarks, women are annoying “beavers” and our fearless trio is always on the prowl for “their favorite kind of meat.” Personally I thought all the blue remarks were hilarious as they are a product of their time. Political correctness was an unknown idea at the time and it shows. Men used to be crass and pigs and although I’m glad my generation has grown up a bit it’s still refreshing to see a movie devoid of pretension and cautiousness. These guys are constantly facing certain doom being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with no help, no cell phones, and no medical attention so I can’t really blame them for being crass. They’ve got bigger worries.

The footage in this film is unreal. They ride their bikes through railroad tracks into pitch black tunnels with no idea of what’s inside. They ride along railroad trestles, one mistake from falling to their deaths. They ride through rivers, up mountains, through sand and dunes, all on bikes with smaller engines than are commercially available today on street tires! The most amazing footage features a handlebar view of racing through a busy street in Oaxaca, Mexico, riding between cars, dodging pedestrians (in one case grazing a man carrying a basket of oranges) and blasting past police. Truly white knuckle stuff. These dudes are bad asses from the old-school. Fearless, beer drinking, stream fishing, womanizing, hairy chested men. These guys crash left and right and get back up laughing, ready for more. They aren’t professional riders, just outdoors men with a bucket of balls.

Cycles South is an inspiring look at a life lived for adventure, without worry, or desire for material goods. The only desire these dudes had was for cheap women and good times. Screw the house and a fancy car. Give me freedom of choice any day."

I personally love the music they used in this docu movie.
The space trip jumping around part is crazy nice with the trippy synthesiser bleeps.
I think one of the bikes is a BSA Hornet.
Anyone knows more about the bikes in the movie?

Update
The BSA's are a B44 and B40
Thanks BC

Ardennes road trip part 3

On Teusday we went to Maastricht and watched Batman, The Dark Knight Rises. Great movie, must see.
On Wednesday before I left to Amsterdam I made a short walk true the forest in Mont.
Warning. If you don't like nature close your eyes.
