A BIKERS LIFE FOR ME (Documentary)

A documentary that features awesome motorcycles, fantastic people and a lifestyle like no other. This is A BIKERS LIFE FOR ME.
A Kai Zammit film, A Bikers Life For Me or ABLFM for short is a documentary filmed in the heart of Southend, Essex, UK. The 25-minute documentary introduces you to a variety of characters and places all set within the biking world. Onlookers sometimes oversee the biking world and don’t fully understand it. I tried to show a fun side to the lifestyle and not your usual bad-boys life that the TV companies both UK and USA like to portray. I was shown a lot whilst making this film and every part of it was great fun and I would say it was one of the best times in my life. Can I say it’s a biker’s life for me? Well thanks to these fantastic people and a special thank you to Chris Ball aka Flux, I would happily welcome this lifestyle.
Since the making of this film, Andy and Flux decided to part ways to pursue different things but both still make custom choppers.
Chris Ball aka Flux is a custom bike builder located in Leigh-on-sea/Southend, UK.

Seem like a great bunch of characters. All in the soul.

[@rpiereck74]

Those that don't ride won't understand it. Whether it's a cruise, a chopper, a dual sport, super sport, ADV bike, you name it... we're all brothers on two wheels. Ride safe!

[@ABIGD0NK3Y]

Renato Piereck... dang right!!!...when I was 6 I rode Honda dirt bikes...@ 21 I got a crotch rocket 600 Hurricane...37 I started riding my dad's vintage 1972 SL125 Honda hare scrambler desert racer...now I ride a Harley...or whatever I can get my hands on!

[@17millionfuckoffs]

Back here again for about the 11th time to watch this golden nugget of UK bike culture, no matter how crap everything is this always brings a smile to my face.

[@kaizammit]

I'm glad to hear that my university project is still bringing enjoyment to people. Due to the people in it, I just had to share it with others. Thank you for commenting and I hope you're alright fella. What's the saying... burn rubber, not your soul.

[@BIGCHRISXXX]

​@kaizammit he is not the only one. I have watched this more times than I can remember, and it still brings me joy. Thanks for making it and uploading it. You did a great job. 👍🏻

[@kaizammit]

@@BIGCHRISXXX Thank you for watching fella!

[@Heater701]

Kai, I'm not a biker, my sense of balance is completely and utterly fucked but I thoroughly enjoyed your documentary. Beautifully shot and edited, and full of colourful characters. Made me wish I was a part of this community. Thank you for an amazing piece of work. Warmest regards from Malaysia

[@kaizammit]

+Heater701 Thank you so much! I love the fact you enjoyed my shooting style where its beauty vs grimy. A complete juxtaposition and these guys and girls are the best people I have ever met. Thanks again and please share with the world!

[@carlsharples8912]

Great documentary. Shows the great brotherhood of the Sevens club. Makes me want to get in the shed and do some work on my old school chop

[@TS50ER]

Fantastic video filled with some right characters! With everyone smiling and laughing throughout, how could you not laugh out loud as well? Best vid on motorcycles I have seen in a long time.

[@kaizammit]

+TS50ER Thank you! Means a lot and I'm happy you enjoyed it.

[@vsause4science620]

Kai Zammit Hey !

[@neisenswife]

You guys are the most American Brits I've ever seen, Good Job. Thanks for posting this I really enjoyed it. Ride free

[@moorshound3243]

They really need to do a follow up show on these guys, I love this. Ride hard roll free.

[@Chaplain7GabRiel]

Everyone talks about 1%, but you showed me the true colors of someone who loves the road, who loves bikes in a more simple way. This is just breath taking, MC's that are proud of riding and having a good time, that's diferent. You truly did something amaizing and i'll work my ass off to get my bike one day. Greatings from Mexico. :3

[@kaizammit]

+Chaplain7GabRiel Don't forget to share with friends and thank you for your comment, much love.

[@Chaplain7GabRiel]

You got it. Greatings.

[@jocala1661]

Watch probably hundreds of biker movies, but something about this guys!! Looks very nice people with a great attitude. F.... Awesome . Well done guys

[@paulbrown320]

Been a RIDER, most of mi life! I started on yama's, suzies and whatever had 2 wheels! I have been a harley rider since I was 17 on a '74 Shovel!!! I have had everything from a Buell, sportsters, road kings and now, my all time favorite, the Ultra Classic! Love this Cadillac of motorcycles! I even had the 1975 H-D induro that yalls seen on that movie in 1975, The Bad News Bears...lol...the 250sx that the kid Kelly rode! I turned it into a pretty cool lil bobber! But all in all, if ya ride with 2 wheels, yall have my up-most respect! TWO WHEELS FOREVER!!!

[@rEdHoUsE_1969]

Great film .... really like these guys .... no egos just down to earth, really refreshing to see and hear .... this is a real gem .... looking forward to your next doco ....

[@PaulSawyer]

What a fantastic and beautifully shot documentary. One of the best portrayals of the British biker lifestyle I have ever seen. It was a privilege and a pleasure to watch. Greetings and respect from South Wales

[@kaizammit]

+Paul Sawyer I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for commenting. I really do appreciate it.

[@sobchakdude]

"Ride bikes, party, get drunk and enjoy yourself " is a motto I can get behind.

[@krambachandy3986]

Now thats what a club should be about, Bikes, riding and having a good time. Great video.. p.s. loud pipes do save lives, ride safe. cheers...

[@hoboroyale655]

Thank's for the film really good, especially enjoyed when the hot rod get's started in the house.

[@malbig2344]

Excellent vid. Bikers without attitude. Just like minded mates out to enjoy life. Nice one Kai.

[@galenkia]

Even though i am not into that type of bike scene i still found it an enjoyable watch with some good old characters featured. Great film mate.

[@frazerbond3413]

cool vid and makes a nice change to see one from England, and only just up the road from me. Gonna show this to my father in law he was an old coggeshall bastard he'll love it!!

[@kaizammit]

+frazer bond You'll have to let me know what he thinks. I'm glad you liked my film.

[@tye6090]

hey kai, great piece mate. Quick question what song is at 12:30?? Fucking love it!!!

[@kaizammit]

The song with no name! I lost the name of it when I was making the film. All files have been deleted now otherwise I would have sent it to you. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked the film.

[@Izzyforeverlace8chrome]

Awesome video! Real true genuine what you see is what you get people! Loved it, thanks for uploading!

[@Craigeh92]

What a great video! Love the nostalgia and passion in this ! Well done guys in presenting the best parts of the bikers life.

[@darrenpulleng5912]

Great set of lads,and lasses... It'd be an honour to let them build a bike for me. keep up the great work.

[@williamjohnson6517]

Really enjoyed this film🤔I used to live in the UK about 70 miles from London on the east coast. My crew rode sport bikes the last one I had was a Honda Super Blackbird XXX. I'm American BUT grew up 50 years!!!! In England ( long story ) American father English mum. Back in America now riding Harley. 2014 Firefighter Shrine Street Glide and a 2005 Softail Deuce . On the East Coast here in North Carolina. Beautiful place for riding. Take care one and all. Only difference between me and some in the film is my bikes ALWAYS come first ! 🤔😏😎👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@hogiron]

Great film, can't fault the attitude & spirit of these guys.

[@stonestm4197]

finally a short, about the love for bikes, and all the different people who just love bikes :) , good work man

[@GarryFullerSr]

Great video guys. No matter where your at a Biker is a Biker. I have a Hard time understanding you guys but I'm sure you have a Hard time understanding us Hillbillies. Take-Care

[@aircooled9213]

I have watched this video so many times, love it! 👍

[@goldilocks913]

Thank you so much for this! People like that are why l loved being a biker for all these years and I’m sick of the MC is Best attitude that is growing stronger these days where it’s about attitude and respect for a colour or a symbol and not the actual riding and GIVING respect to everyone on two wheels. Loved seeing that BSH cover , blast from the past!What a great bunch ! Bless you all 🇬🇧👍

[@PanchoVilla1750]

Nice job with the vid Kai! Well done...bad bike builds, cool people, biker life culture...we all live it how we want. Ride hard or go home! Those that don't will never understand. Ready for Part II.

[@SooperSkoots]

Great video, It's nice to see Bikers are pretty much the same no matter what part of the globe you happen to be from... Been living this life going on 35 years now, and I still get the same feeling everytime I fire up my Harley and head out on the highway... Ride Free --- Tramp --- USA

[@robertburks2126]

[@scottfree8848]

Less than 5 minutes into the video and I already know this is going to be an outstanding video.

[@scottfree8848]

I live in Savannah, Georgia. U.S.A. The ocean and beaches are here. Mountains in the north of the state, Atlantic ocean on the east side of the state, marsh in the south of the state. To the west? Stay away from there. Once you cross the Georgia line the country is full of cocksuckers.😆😂 Great video. I can't live without riding.

[@kaizammit]

Keep on enjoying it! My time with these guys which feels like an eternity ago now but every second was something thrilling. KZ.
