The Project
We are producing a major motion picture, 14K about our sport of motorcycle road racing. The goal is not simply
to make an entertaining and profitable movie, but to introduce a broad public to this very exciting world. The
project presents a great opportunity to present both our sport and our products to a very wide audience. Movies
clearly have considerable influence. After Top Gun appeared Navy Air enlistments were up 110%; after Karate
Kid, dojos were overflowing with children, and after the Color of Money, pool became very popular. We are
striving for absolute authenticity in presenting our sport, conveying both the "living on the edge" excitement and
the extraordinary individuals drawn to this arena. The story is about a troubled kid who goes from illegal street
racer to eventual road racing stardom, from angry young man to a caring human being who finds his true self
through his passion for motorcycles.
