FILM MAKERS

Ezekiel Victor is a filmmaker from Asheville, currently splitting his time between there and Brooklyn. His Uncle used to own the motel and gas station at Deals Gap so some of my oldest memories are seeing bikes race up the hill at the entrance of the Dragon. His second birthday party was even motorcycle themed, giving motorcycles a very personal place in his heart.

We posted the film trailer back in 2024 and are thrilled to finally post the full film that premiered online today, on the Triumph Heritage blog. Enjoy!

SUMMARY

Tucked away on East 6th Street since the mid‑80s, Sixth Street Specials has long been one of the East Village’s most beloved motorcycle repair shop for fans of classic British motorcycles.

The shop built its reputation around deep mechanical know‑how and a genuine love for Triumph motorcycles. Rather than operating as a retail store, it has always focused on what it does best: repairing, restoring, and occasionally customising vintage bikes.

The shop opened in 1986 by Hugh Mackie, a Scottsman who moved to New York in the early ’80s and quickly immersed himself in the city’s motorcycle culture. Mackie favored craftsmanship over flash, keeping the storefront understated and letting the work speak for itself. Over time, Sixth Street Specials became a symbol of the East Village’s earlier, grittier era, as many similar garages were pushed out or relocated to Brooklyn.
