“Long Live the Kings” is a short film about motorcycling, a five minute piece of beauty: gorgeous, shot on film, evocative, so full of joy that it brought the tears up a bit. The imagery is a little bit larger than life, but that’s part of what makes motorcycling fun – out on a bike in the wide open world, nothing but you and your machine and the wind and sun, you feel larger than life, and that’s part of what I like about it. Still, you have to stay grounded, because it’s dangerous, too, and you need to keep your wits about you… the trip doesn’t end til you reach home.

I want to quote the whole narration, because it’s all true; but really, just go watch it.
