I’ve gotten kind of lazy lately and haven’t really posted any of my own writing. My goal was to do at least one post a week, but with the winter rain making riding a little less enjoyable, I end up surfing (web) more than riding. Thus less fodder for my own stories and more inspiration from the inteweb.
I found this video on a fellow bloggers site today. It is one of the more beautiful shorts I have seen in a while. I love that there is no music cluttering up the background, the audio is crisp and clear. I don’t know, there is just something about it I love. I have seen this man, Shinya, work, (just on tv, not in person unfortunately) and his bikes really are a manifestation of what rattles around inside his head. He understands the beauty within a moto and why riders are so hopelessly addicted. As freetireair points out, “This gentleman could not speak more poetically about the experience of riding a motorcycle.”
In 2010, Shinya Kimura and Chabott Engineering (Shinya’s company) were the subject of a documentary short by film maker Henrik Hansen, which was one of five documentaries to be nominated for a 2010 Vimeodocumentary award.
