HIS MOTORBIKE, HER ISLAND (1986)
Run Time: 1:30:00
Producer: Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho
Director: Nobuhiko Ôbayashi
Writer: Yoshio KataokaI, kuo Sekimoto
Key Cast: Kiwako Harada, Noriko Watanabe, Riki Takeuchi
FILM MAKERS
His Motorbike, Her Island (彼のオートバイ、彼女の島, Kare no ōtobai, kanojo no shima) is a 1986 Japanese romance film directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi, based on a 1977 novel by Yoshio Kataoka. Produced by Kadokawa Haruki Jimusho, the film stars Kiwako Harada, Riki Takeuchi, Noriko Watanabe and Tomokazu Miura. Takeuchi, in his acting debut, plays a motorbike enthusiast who falls in love with a young woman (Harada) after teaching her how to ride. The film frequently switches between black-and-white and color photography.
His Motorbike, Her Island won three awards at the 8th Yokohama Film Festival, including Best Supporting Actress for Watanabe and 3rd Best Film.
SUMMARY
After a failed romance, a temperamental young biker meets a carefree rural girl while riding through her island hometown and gets her obsessed about riding a motorcycle.
James Balmont of Another Magazine cited His Motorbike, Her Island as an example of a film with a relatively sympathetic view towards bōsōzoku, a Japanese youth subculture associated with motorcycles. Balmont describes Koh's Kawasaki motorbike as "more of a symbol for freedom than anarchy", and writes: "From the opening shots, in which the camera fetishises the bike chassis in close-up as the engine gently purrs and rumbles, the bike is a beloved object that brings Koh in touch with the resplendent natural surroundings of Japan's countryside as well as stoking a blossoming romance."

Key Cast: Bobbee Singh, Lali Singh Ji, Farooq Bhai
FILM MAKERS
We at Colorblind had been looking for a real story to tell for some time. A story which real people can relate to, that can touch hearts, that can create goosebumps in a way that it did to us. We are just like you so here is a story for you.
For another film in our archive featuring Bobbee, Old Delhi Motorcycles, and Royal Enfield, watch Chasing The Bullet (2016) by Chris Zahner.
SUMMARY
Finding this story took us to many places, people, ideas and then it struck us that careers are not confined to cubicles, certificates, degrees, universities, interviews or job placements. Far away from the world of doctors, engineer, management gurus there lies a world of engine oil, brakes, gears. Not a shiny automobile showrooms but a dirty, clumsy mechanic's shop in a chaotic old Delhi's narrow gali. Colorblind wants to extend a special thank to Bobbee Singh (aka Bullet Raja), who introduced us to this world. So here we present a tribute to these maestros whose oil coated, blackened hands carved the Bullet Beauty for many of us Bullet Lovers.

THE BROWN BUNNY (2003)
Run Time: 1:33:00
A Film By: Vincent Gallo
Key Cast: Vincent Gallo, Chloë Sevigny, Cheryl Tiegs
FILM MAKERS
The Brown Bunny is a 2003 independent erotic romantic road drama film written, directed, produced, photographed, and edited by Vincent Gallo. Starring Gallo and Chloë Sevigny, it tells the story of a motorcycle racer on a cross-country drive who is haunted by memories of his former lover. It was photographed with handheld 16 mm cameras in various locations throughout the United States, including New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Ohio, Missouri, Utah, Nevada, and California.
Following a world premiere at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, the film garnered a great deal of media attention because of an explicit scene where Sevigny performs un-simulated fellatio on Gallo.
Roger Ebert called the film "the worst in the history of Cannes." He posted on his website "The audience was loud and scornful in its dislike for the movie; hundreds walked out, and many of those who remained only stayed because they wanted to boo." Vincent Gallo responded that Ebert was a "fat pig with the physique of a slave trader." Ebert paraphrased a remark of Sir Winston Churchill and responded that "Although I am fat, one day I will be thin, but Mr. Gallo will still have been the director of 'The Brown Bunny.'" Gallo then put a hex on Ebert's colon, to which Ebert responded that "even my colonoscopy was more entertaining than his film."
It should be noted that the version screened at Cannes was much longer than the final version. Ebert later gave a re-edited version his signature "thumbs up", awarding the film three out of four stars.
SUMMARY
Professional motorcycle racer Bud Clay heads from New Hampshire to California to race again. Along the way he meets various needy women who provide him with the cure to his own loneliness, but only a certain woman from his past will truly satisfy him.
After racing in New Hampshire, the lonely motorcycle racer Bud Clay drives his van in a five-day journey to California for the next race. Along his trip, he meets fans, a lonely women, and prostitutes, but he leaves them since he is actually pining for the woman he loves, Daisy. He goes to her house and leaves a note telling where he is lodged. Out of the blue, Daisy appears in his hotel room and he soon learns the reason why he couldn't find her.

Bringing the incredible story of Lilly Farrow to the big screen!
Having secured all legal rights to Lilly’s story and a completed screenplay secured, the Iron Lilly production team is ready to bring this movie to life. The story of Lilly Farrow is garnished with the speed power and thrills that motorcycling exhibits, but it is Lilly’s heart, guts and perseverance that wins. Visit the website to sign up for updates not he film. Link below.
SUMMARY
Iron Lilly is an epic, heart-stirring journey into the life of Lilly Farrow, a fearless pioneer who shattered expectations and carved her name into history. Set in early 20th century America, this film brings to life the extraordinary true story of a woman who, alongside her husband Dale, founded A D Farrow Co Harley Davidson in 1912, now the world’s longest running Harley Davidson dealership. But Lilly’s greatest challenge would come after an unthinkable tragedy left her alone to raise three children and steer a growing business through the turmoil of two World Wars, the Spanish Flu epidemic, the Great Depression, and the relentless barriers of a male dominated industry. Fueled by unbreakable determination, she not only kept her family and company alive, she thrived, defying the odds to organize the first official riding club and orchestrate some of the earliest motorcycle races. With breathtaking cinematography and a story that pulses with love, loss, and perseverance, Iron Lilly is more than a film about motorcycles, it is a tribute to resilience, leadership, and the power of an unstoppable spirit.

Hoxton Moto is a film production company that produces films about all aspects of motorcycling and the occasional hot rod for its YouTube channel. As well as making films for their channel, they also get their hands dirty and build bikes which have been exhibited at the Bike Shed Show, Revolution Show (Hastings) and get regular features in magazines and on-line sites.
Reviewer Don Hunt Sadly passed away a few years ago. He was a very knowledgeable motorcycle enthusiast and had a large collection of machines from vintage, classic and modern. Although he was fascinated by the evolution and engineering development of motorcycles, his real passion was riding. All his bikes would be regularly ridden through the lanes of Hertfordshire where he lived in England. In his youth, he and his wife would travel vast distances exploring Europe on a motorcycle. Many of his adventures ‘2 up’ were made on his Laverda Jota. His eclectic and diverse motorcycle collection included British, American, Italian and Japanese machines – namely James, Indian, Sunbeam, Velocette, BSA, Ducati, Laverda, Honda. However, his deep passion was for Scotts. Not only did he love to ride his ‘Flying Squirrel” Sprint Special but he would always enthuse about Alfred Scotts revolutionary bikes, which for their time had a water cooled 2 stroke engines and even a kick start. He was recognized by the VMCC (Vintage Motor Cycle Club) as one of the most knowledgable Scott specialists. - Shaun Fenton for Ride CT. Read more about Don Hunt HERE.
SUMMARY
Don climbs aboard a beautifully restored 1915 Indian V-Twin 1000cc American motorcycle. One of the most successful motorcycles ever made and has a sporting pedigree. It was produced in large numbers, selling 35,000 in 1913. Some of its features include: electric lights, tool box, town & country exhaust, effective suspension and an idiosyncrasy, a left-hand throttle. Some say the left-hand throttle was to enable the rider to draw his gun with his right hand and continue controlling the bike with his left. A truly magnificent machine.

THE VINCENT 'BLACK 'FLASH' (2025)
Run Time: 3:07
Producer: Malle London
Cinematography: Jed Leach
Editor: Joshua Sakk
Voice Over: Sam Retford
Key Cast: That bloody 'Black Flash'
FILM MAKERS
Malle London started as a harebrained scheme in a late night bar back in 2013 to make elegant yet functional motorcycle bags. They did that in spades, and along the way they also began organizing some of the best rallies around. The Beach Race, The Great Malle Rally, The Mountain Rally just to name just a few. Now, in August of 2025 they will set off on the Great Malle Arctic Rally, the longest motorcycle rally ever attempted across Scandinavia to the northern tip of the mainland Arctic. See link below to get in on the fun!
SUMMARY
In the words of Bob Dylan “There’s no success like failure, and failure’s no success at all”. Introducing The Vincent ‘Black Flash’. Six weeks before The Great Malle Rally, we got word of a 1950 Vincent 500 barn find, that was last running in 1974. We dragged her home and the dream was set, to build a lightweight Malle Rally Vincent. Our aim was to complete The Great Malle Rally, the longest motorcycle rally in Great Britain on the oldest motorcycle to ever attempt it, on a custom Vincent, inspired by the infamous Vincent ‘Black Lightning’ and the Vincent ‘Grey Flash’... ...After the Vincent suffered a catastrophic fuel leak on the final stage of the Rally, with petrol pouring over a hot engine, it was thrown into the bracken and put out with loch water. The Rally Marshalls played ‘pass the parcel’ with the rider to get him to the finish line on the backs of their motorcycles, 212 miles from Rally checkpoint to checkpoint. To pass the time, he wrote ’An Ode To The Black Flash’. Read out on the Rally finish line at the Castle of Mey, at the very Northern tip of Scotland. Custom Vincent by The Malle London team.

FILM MAKERS
Hi there! I’m a freelance filmmaker and director based in Switzerland. In 2015 I got my bachelor’s degree of arts in film at the university for design and art in Lucerne, Switzerland. My passion for filmmaking and storytelling has led me to work on all kinds of projects. From full-blown productions and documentaries to smaller, spontaneous projects. Regardless of the scale, the goal is always the same – to tell compelling stories. - Christian Taro
The film is currently on the film festival circuit.
SUMMARY
Embarking on a solo journey around the globe is an adventure in itself, but doing it on a hand-built, 10-foot long, fully rigid chopper takes a unique kind of courage and determination.

I caught up with Charlie on the open road to delve into his extraordinary life, the challenges of his journey, and the one question everyone asks, “Why would you do it on that?”

“Making this film was a profound experience for everyone involved and I’m excited to finally share this unique story with the world. My hope is that this film will remind audiences that life is meant to be lived. Epic adventures are still possible. Defining success is a personal journey. And, ultimately, once we’ve left this race of life, there is more past the finish line,” - Michael Rowley.

Themes of justice, human connectivity and harrowing circumstances emerge throughout his films. From tear-gas filled streets of refugee camps to the open prairies of the American West, Rowley’s voice has earned him the Austin Film Society’s North Texas Pioneer Film Grant twice, five festival jury awards for exceptional work, and press features in The New York Times, Variety, Deadline and The Globe and Mail.

Atop his world-renowned sidecar racer, Bobby turns the energy of his twilight years towards cementing his name in the land speed record books. But when things take a sudden and devastating turn, Bobby and those closest to him must pick up the pieces and face death at the finish line.

FILM MAKERS
Nick Davis produced and directed Leaving Tracks, the feature-length documentary that tells the life story of Robert Haas, otherwise known as Bobby Haas, the founder of the Haas Moto Museum. Leaving Tracks has appeared at over 15 film festivals worldwide, including Docufest, Montreal Independent Film Festival, New York International Film Festival, and Oniros, where it won Best Documentary Feature.
“The journey into filmmaking that I initiated two years ago would have been impossible without an experienced, sensitive, and flexible guide and partner who could coax and cajole and shape this story into a final documentary we would all be proud of. Nick immediately grasped the potential of the story and the magnetism of the characters. With the benefit of hindsight (and warmed by the glow of the critical acclaim that has come our way so soon after the film’s release), Nick was the ideal Producer to convert this story into an award-winning film.” — Bobby Haas
SUMMARY
The story of a man, his museum, and lives changed forever.
LEAVING TRACKS tells the intimate and compelling story of the founder of the Haas Moto Museum, and his immense impact on the lives of the custom builders whose masterpieces elevate the Museum to the pinnacle of its industry. Beneath his success as a financier and Nat Geo photographer, Bobby Haas grapples with a lifetime of trauma in his quest to create a museum like no other. The film probes the surprising affection that develops between the founder and the custom builders, who are united by their shared chase for perfection. Embedded in the Museum's rolling works of art that exude danger and speed are the universal challenges of human endeavor.
