FILM MAKERS

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. – Cam Elkins

SUMMARY

The thought of a commute to the workplace for most people would be met with a mild grinding of teeth and sneer or two. Even for most motorcyclists, it’s not a pleasant experience dealing with traffic an hour that brings the worst out in people. But one man’s peak hour traffic is another man’s bliss. For this Honda CB125 owner, peak hour is pure, adrenaline spiked, fun.
