After a beautiful Good Friday, the rest of the Easter Weekend has proven itself to be a mix of sunshine and showers and the bikes have stayed firmly in the garage. Taking any opportunity to get some sort biking fix, I found a movie called Out of Nothing on my Amazon Prime service. On the cover is a man with a red helmet riding a stretched out Ducati across the Bonneville salt. I was immediately hooked and just had to watch it.
So this is the story of four men from the Pacific Northwest of the United States who venture down to the Bonneville Salt flats to ride their bikes as fast as they can. The premise really is that simple and the movie is wonderful. Its simply told and beautifully shot.
I was watching it knowing that these four guys, were my kind of people and they are no tinpot group of builders, far from it, these four guys are artists and its made me want to go to Bonneville even more. Not to race, just to watch, although I fear that if I go once, I may have to return each and every year afterwards....which could be expensive from over here in the UK.
I urge you to make just 90mins free in your day, hunt down the movie and watch it. Its motorcycling at its purest and its simply, brilliant. You won't be disappointed.
