Why, yes...there is motorcycle content.

http://www.musicfromtheinsideout.com/

About 4 years ago I got a call from a local indie shop saying a camera crew
was in the area and was looking for a bike with a sidecar to carry the
camera man. I thought that sounded like a great deal of fun, so I went
and spent a whole day with these folks, riding around back roads in VT
and NY with Tom Hurwitz hanging out of my hack! We filmed one of the
violists riding his motorcycle, racing a horse along a fence, blasting
around country roads..... I had a blast!
Finally, this documentary has been released, but not near me. Somebody
go see it and let me know if Doc and I made it onto film!

(if you watch the trailer, when the bike is flying down the road, _that_
was shot from my hack!)

Very cool, hope it shows somewhere close enough you can go see it. Wonder if
you'll be listed in the credits?

I was paid, and signed a release, if they decided to put me or Doc in,
tho I didn't see a mention on the website.
I rather thought it would be shown in the Saratoga area, since this is
their summer home.
I'll keep watching! And hoping _someone_ might be interested in going to
see an Orchestra documentary. <g>

That is so cool! I watched the trailer and caught that quick bike shot.

But more than anything, it was refreshing to watch these musicians who
are totally into their art. Not into it for the RIAA, not trying to be
the latest Brittany replacement--just out to make great music. I'm gonna
have to get more into classical...

Isn't that neat? I really hope it comes up this way. I'd love to see it.
At one point we stopped along this one road where there were a bunch of
horses.
One of them looked at the guy on the bike and lowered his head. I'd
swear he challeneged him to a race.
They both took off at the same moment and raced up the road along the
fence, side by side!
I'd love to see that from the camera angle.

I haven't listened to classical much in years, but seeing them all
perform together is really powerful. If you look at each individual,
they look like they haven't a clue that anyone else is up there, yet it
all meshes together with surgeon like precision.
I have my tickets for this years performance!

I got my daughter into a little classical by going to see these folks in
concert.

Go see them! You won't be disappointed!
