The Born Free Show - /RideApart

Choppers, bobbers, rat-bikes, vintage cafe racers and every kind of wild oddity in between, nobody does American custom hot-rod culture for bikes on the West Coast like the annual Born Free show in Irvine, Ca. Jamie Robinson wades into a sea of black leather, denim, burly beards, Daisy Dukes and thousands of motorcycles to see what it's all about. For more on motorcycles, visit hellforleathermagazine.com

"Ive never seen a motorcycle quite like this..." well neither have we because you never actually showed the whole bike...

[@mar7909]

This is a video of motorcycle parts and pieces. SHOW THE WHOLE BIKE DAMNT!!

[@jmo_rides5474]

M AR Seriously!! I was so fucking frustrated about that! Why wouldn't they show the bikes they were talking about??!!

[@herrisj]

+Boomhauer he's right though, calm the fuck down tough guy! Is it too much to ask to see the bikes in their entirety??

[@Dialysisforever]

+M AR Yeah, what were they thinkin? Its about motorcycles, show the damn motorcycles.

[@TheDans7300]

I was just going to comment on the exact same thing!!

[@DoubleD72]

Came to the comments to say the same... terrible video.

[@nikfish1]

1. Show the bikes, not the people who talk about them 2. FILL THE FRAME with the SUBJECT, not obscure parts of it. We want to see the whole bike.

[@retahdude]

That's what I was saying!!!!

[@nikfish1]

Frank Gotti And i backed you up, bro!

[@Dan-rc4cx]

LOVE THE ASIAN GUY WHO BUILT A TRIUMPH AND IS WEARING A MOTORHEAD SHIRT!..... Great combo....

[@joshtex9001]

I bet there were some AMAZING bikes at that show yet we never got to see them. It seems like Nik Wogan, the camera man and editor, was going for some weird 60's abstract film school project that never shows the subject. The ONLY semi decent motorcycle footage is in the intro & outro of those being ridden. If you go TO a motorcycle SHOW and shoot a SHOW about motorcycles, I HIGHLY suggest that you SHOW the motorcycles.

[@flagstamp]

The coolest bike show that we didn't get to see. Thanks for nothing!

[@dickwelts8817]

It would have been nice to see a video of the bikes

[@trevellyanblack4101]

Loved the video. Loved seeing a shot of a timing cover for half a second but a full shot of the narrator eating a hot dog.

[@cjdc1973]

One of the best shows on KZbin. Jamie is a brilliant host, showcasing the modern motorbike subculture. Keep up the great entertainment.

[@checkillo]

You can barely see the bikes with those close-ups. I really wanted to see that 70's honda 750

[@JasperBlake2010]

Cool video, but would have been a lot better if they showed a full view of all the bikes they were talking about in the interviews.

[@caliracer1]

Excellent Video,Thanks Jamie & Nik.

[@cxbra]

Im in LOVE with the Santee with the tm400 2-stroke swap!! Wow! 2 strokes and bobbers are the best combination.

[@Primoesuno36]

Forgot to film a bike mate!

[@alexthompson5726]

no doubt im kinda pissed about it tbh

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

totally AWESOME.coolest motorcycle video I have seen in a long time.MOST EXCELLENT!!! MUCH RESPECT.

[@ondrejbezucha1555]

RdieApart is grat series, keep it on. Greetings from bikers of Czech Republic!

[@cxbra]

I am in LOVE with that bike at 10:00 with the 400cc 2 stroke in it!!

[@user-vz7db9wr2n]

It was an awesome bike show, highly recommended to everyone.

[@AtilioEscobar]

this is a horrible video. why so many close up shots?!? show the damn bikes!

[@ubeBrettu]

yup it suxxxxxx

[@glitterbrains69]

Yeah that sucked, some of em were bad as shit, that triumph deserved more than that

[@gchardy]

8:15 Knees to the breeze! Sense of Zen! Oh yeah! love it!

[@stevesmitherman5757]

Really enjoyed the diesel bike- but the whole video was great.

[@williammanzare9250]

got to see this bike show ... damn it looks fun

[@AGoodBuzz]

........ 10 minutes of great detail shots, and you hardly showed a single motorcycle......?

[@danielcarter6824]

i want to see the actual bikes

[@ianmercurio3722]

cry about it baby bitchboy

[@biscuitabuse6431]

110mpg? 2 litres per 100km? Holy crap, my next project is a diesel bike for sure!!

[@HDSportsterguy]

pretty damn cool! I'd love to go to something like that! Great Video! :-)

[@blipco5]

Fantastic video and I'm no chopper guy. Most awesome sound at 10:01

[@Christophe_L]

Agreed, I wanted to see the whole bikes!

[@GGdeTOURS37]

I agree with Cody Jones and loved the video! FREEDOOOOOM!

[@drewheimerl1193]

he had never seen a bike like it and i still havent. show the bikes please

[@Dyslexic-Artist-Theory-on-Time]

I liked the video!!!

[@MTMind69]

This goes to show that motorcyclists are THE MOST PASSIONATE PEOPLE ON EARTH!!!!

[@KowboyUSA]

I love bike meets.

[@zypheri]

Big fan of the show! I wish you all would have done more full-bike shots. There are a lot of moving cam detail shots but we rarely get to see the whole big in one shot.

[@robax]

Christ.. what infuriating camera work.. can't see a damn thing! This started off so well, but what a disappointment.

[@charliegutierrez8728]

Awesome video bro.

[@nofrillstissues]

Bike before Roland's was mental!

[@mort6913]

MegaTaurus777... My thoughts exactly. You can always spot the ones that can still think for themselves.

[@BillieSebastian]

Nice one!

[@ncp9one]

god damn it! I go to school in Irvine and I didn't hear about this

[@comdy]

thought this was supposed to be the episode about the triumph? all and all tho awesome episode keep it up!!

[@pandoreaom]

Beautiful :)

[@yachty1949]

Living in cold damp U.K. looked good to me. Rode my Aprilia 650 today and froze my nuts off !!!

[@riobabilonia]

I studied in Irvine, Ca and I never saw a single bike like these there.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

You guys should do a show on vintage two stroke street bikes sometime, like the Yamaha RD400,RZ350 and RZ500 or the Suzuki RG series. Nothing like the smell of pre-mix in the morning.

[@malungtvnews]

I agree can we see the fookin bikes!!!!

[@lukasvanhauden9452]

Nice full frame shot of your lunch

[@tiagobranco360]

great!!!!!

[@Tommy1198S]

Hell yea, kick start that Norton Commando.

[@Feefor]

In photography they's say "if you think your close enough, half the distance again". I suspect the camera guy may have been a photographer turned videographer. Probably using an SLR. The work he hid was awesome and I really enjoyed the whole thing, but like others I did think on a few occasions - take 3 steps back and let me see the whole friggin bike. Looking forward to next years

[@NComics87]

i love custom bikes, i own one too and i liked the video, but... we almost didn't even get one clear shot at a bike.. you know, a video almost entirely made of close-ups doesn't really work.. especially when u're hiding the real protagonists behind them..

[@marcosdesouza5529]

viva para rodar...rode para viver!!! Brasil sorocaba são paulo.

[@1400IntruderVS]

Too funny. I was thinking the same thing a lot you were. This would be a really interesting piece if the camera would actually allow the audience to see some of these motorcycles.

[@dmitriyvakhrushev2363]

thanks!

[@JSVyolence]

The Norton was killer. Glad he didn't just focus on the most obvious bikes.. Those got enough attention!

[@dar2740]

The first thing i think of once I'm done watching an episode of Ride Apart, Tuned, Big Muscle or any of the other shows is. Why Can't I go to a website to see a nice huge hi res picture gallery of all the cars and bikes talked about.

[@Miatapeace91]

The dude with the motor head shirt has one kick ass bike

[@JawnGlick]

i dont like new sport bikes but i would love to be that guy and ride up to this show on a stretched hayabusa xD (i ride a 1972 Honda CL350)

[@mikeshaft]

yes, I really wish they just showed the whole bikes. Geesh!

[@sambeatty2312]

well the clutch covers look good.

[@joaoromualdobenites1136]

e um show de motos sou do brasil legal very good

[@MobileMood]

Whoever is shooting the video does not ride. Show the bike!!! Not the owner. This is frustrating and I am not watching to the end. Not subscribing.

[@yoshit9819]

Wish I were there. Next time show the bikes

[@McCauleyC88]

Awesome

[@roninwilliams8898]

Made it three minutes and 12 seconds into this video before I realized I'll never get this time back I'm moving on

[@bobsmith-nw2ud]

Was the camera man fired after this? I sure hope so.

[@silvaafa1957]

Democratico e Anarquico!!!! Muito bom. isso e estilo!!!!

[@johnnysokko6533]

The Geneva Convention classifies this music as cruel, and unusual punishment.

[@Harty426]

Was that bike in the beginning with the copper coils a mobile still? Cause if so thatd be freakin awesome

[@Serveck]

its the middle of january in maine. The itch to ride is so bad I don't care if its cold. TIME TO RIDE

[@icemonAesDana]

cool enuff

[@newengland72]

2:51 This kid knows what's really important.

[@soobeng]

Paradise

[@Forrthetrees]

That TM 400 is deadly. I wonder what year the motor is from.

[@nwbasson]

Nice vid, can you show the whole bike next time though please?

[@vyrnmn]

haha i was JUST thinking this.

[@michaelovitch]

Isn't this guy who said during a sportbike test " how can have they some fun ? " looking at harley bikers riding in a twisty road. ? lol journalists are so versatile...

[@5Aerim]

Totally agree

[@truthhunter46]

NOW THATS a bike meet !! here in uk its just boring plastic misiles everywhere!!! they all look the same with a power ranger next to them!!

[@johnm0573]

Hi , please show more of the bikes you are talking about...

[@lilripper6275]

All of the hype about the cb750f and you didn't film it.

[@agraniteman1]

Oh! Jamie you said you saw that guys bike from across the venue. Too bad I freaking didnt, all I saw was a load of flecks in paint from how god dammed zoomed in the field of view was.

[@vyrnmn]

Great video but it's a shame there are no real wide shots of the whole bikes you're looking at... I suppose there were some massive space constraints, but a wide-angle lens wouldn't have gone amiss!

[@urkyle11]

thanks

[@fecklessyahoo]

Lovely arty shots but nowhere near enough full bike shots. Was it a copyright issue or something, because it seemed to be on every featured bike. Or are you saving something for later?

[@crazymanstanley]

Nice plug fowler at 10:08

[@SportbikerNZ]

legend

[@MrDoekoe]

Nice close-up shots, but I have no idea what the bikes look like...

[@MCXL1140]

Woah!

[@elgringiototote]

Why is it that I absolutly LOVE rideapart, but the new videos dont show up in my subscription feed? I have to constantly search for them...

[@RomanRud]

Yeah !!!! Da Best!!!!!))))

[@PatrickJamesUK]

You need a new camera person. There should be decent wide shots of each motorcycle showing the whole motorcycle. Watching people talk about bikes which you can't see is very frustrating. You have recorded some details of the bikes which makes it actually even more frustrating.

[@mikedotson5548]

those girls had NO IDEA what a shovlehead even was LMAO

[@streetgangtm]

Come on over man, we'd love to have you!

[@ferrazbrother]

live to ride...ride to live!!! Brasil sorocaba são paulo. vila haro!!!

[@dougiedisaster]

Great vid. Nice close up shots but not too many pull away full shots though.

[@user-mc4mo3xd5y]

Like!Bike.

[@jamesbutterson5218]

HELLOOO! Where are the BIKES??? 😎💨

[@MrTum03]

cool

[@Tarlouse]

nice ultra 2 seconds close up on parts and 20 seconds still frame on people we dont give a shit about...i barely saw 3 bikes during the whole thing
