You guys took me back in time. Wonderful video. You guys are not just bikers but artists too. 👏👍

[@svenklaas1210]

...simply amazing!!! Stunning way to communicate the passion and the art of riding a classic motorcycle...

[@JC8865]

Great little video..love the old stuff...currently own a 1977 GS750

[@iancarman]

Bloody great edit, I was weighing up whether or not to ride today and this helped make up my mind!

Eine Motorrad Freundschaft unter Vintage Liebhabern , inszeniert in allerbester emotionalen und kunstvollen Gesinnung bei dem der Betrachter einfach kaum Worte findet - unser Hobby.... kunstvoll inszeniert, danke

[@alexbrewer4570]

Looks like a preview for an awesome, low budget, indie movie. I love it!

[@darwinortiz6394]

Just found this video by accident. Loved it. It’s a keeper.

[@gyrate4]

Great! Wonderful night footage there, too!

[@waylandjennings4073]

A great movie. To heck with what everyone else's opinion regarding your choice of music, lighting, and shots of the bikes. They should make their own damn vids if they don't like it. Hats off to you for taking these inexpensive run of the mill bikes and giving them a soul. It's not about how much money you can shell out, but more about what you can do with what you have and some creativity and class. Nice job.

[@vulcanman64]

I did love the video by the way. Love all motorcycles.

[@ajaygautam832]

Awesome Video. Very nice cinematography.

[@bnattapat]

Awesome. So inspired!

[@jdm2626]

love the bikes and the filming

[@blapo38]

Judging by the music it almost seemed as if they were in a mission to save the world. Hey, it's just two guys riding at dawn for the pleasure of it. :P

[@Lanchenba_W]

Right

[@ScottChristensenabc]

My favourite soundtrack for this kind of flick is two retro bikes with varying degrees of blown out rusted muffler making the perfect duet and the crescendo is when you beat the ton and the wind is all you hear because at a hundred miles an hour that muffler anthem is 150 feet behind you in the next second. This flick is Hollywood

[@Chromosome1919]

Nice video and old school gear as well.

[@AmjadKhan-nt8vv]

Loved this video thanks.

[@willibike]

Great cinema and great sound! Greetings from Kawaski driver

[@secretspyfrog]

[@tonysanchez888]

Cool video and I like the music too.

[@mckean36]

Nice video. Thanks for using the Kawasaki unlike most other videos.

[@ratjaw75]

Loved the video.

[@danniepineda4354]

Amazing video!

[@stevenzin5834]

Love it. I'm gonna get myself a cafe racer soon \m/

[@dennisng4627]

Beautiful cinematography and editing, guys. Would like to hear the sound of the motorcycle engine on the road rather than the music. Am looking forward to seeing more videos in the future. ✌🏼

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

Nicely done!

[@bikeberry]

Epic rides! Almost as epic as our kits :]

[@partriarch]

Very nice video. I own a Triumph Bonneville and fully understand the appeal of retro motorcycles. Most apropos title as well, "WINGS", since I've always considered those who handle motorcycles on the road to be "Pilots" rather than drivers. It is the closest to controlled flying that I will ever get.

[@ferrazbrother]

very , very cool !!!

[@Supermankev2001]

Cool video earned my Sub Really liked this one.

[@praveendm]

It's 4:20 Am now and I am taking my bike for a spin... This is addiction!

[@clemenssigel8012]

[@WRCristian1981]

[@noicadive]

AWSOME...

[@JaySyu_]

awesome

[@DaWayneCleckley]

Excellent, excellent work. I love the bikes, and I love to ride myself. But I love video work just as much. The camera and editing work here was superb! What kind of camera did you use and how long did it take you to put the project together start to finish?

[@eleveneleven572]

Has the vibe of London's Ace Cafe ton up boys..

[@musha1648]

Freaking badass!

[@vitalysafonoff6570]

Cool!!!!!!!!!

[@garydunn3037]

These were the days before the Plastic Missiles took over. In the old days, biking was a leisurely pastime, not a race to the finish line.

[@KrishnenduKes]

Gary Dunn It was always a race to the finish line. With time, there have been more choices with different options!

[@seanmeantime]

We get on the bikes we get off the bikes we get on the bikes we get off the bikes with intense world is about to end music. Sick vision!

[@jimksa67]

[@LalitKapoor]

Bravo

[@thomasrees1431]

Does anyone know what gloves are shown at 1:07?! Love them!

[@cibiribiable]

Excuse me: what model is the Kawasaki?

[@darwishkahar8234]

where can i get full movie ?

[@nils_on_wheels]

Good video work. i like everything except the heroic musik/character of the video. A quiet guitar song would be the better choice i think. By the way, i bet the one with the bubble visor had great problems in the dark, i always have while riding through city lights. keep up the good work, ride on cheers

[@user-sx2gt6dt2b]

Is it w800 and sr400 ??

[@anthonyscalamare298]

AMAZING VIDEO BRO,HOW MUCH THE RED SCARLETT CAMERA????

[@brettwyatt7165]

I personally love the 80s japanese superbikes ... Gpz ... Honda vf ... Gsx ... Xj 900 ...

[@remasthebogtrotter]

song is exhausting

[@MindDezign]

Great trailer...when does the movie come out ??

[@kunalkulkarni542]

Beautiful video !!! Guys can any one share, where can I get this kind of leather face mask that the biker in the video is wearing ? It looks like soft leather .

[@bp9749]

I didn’t know Christopher Nolan liked cafe bikes. Haha. Excellent job on the video. Fuck the haters. Especially the haters who don’t have a better video production.

[@reconteamohio]

2 thumbs up for the film work, would have liked to have seen more of the bikes. And the music is an issue, first choice, and volume makes it over produced. That said, I encourage you to continue with your film work! See'ya on the road.

[@AD-yy3it]

Kind of reminds me of Sheffield.

[@slogroove]

These guys (Blitz), and others are bringing back the simple, unadorned thrill of motorcycle riding. The last two decades have been hijacked by a certain loud mouth V Twin that proclaimed that with the right amount of chrome accessories "kool" is for sale. Also, flicking a collective nose thumb at Japanese bikes, forgetting that these are the bikes that first gave them the thrill, and 85 pct of them started on. Ride on ! Ignore the ignorance, and the hate.

[@vulcanman64]

Actually lately it's the Japanese vtwin riders. Seems Harley's are the good guys on the block now.

[@mryul123]

nice helmet, Arthur Fulmer

[@fabiopunk1661]

Retro only drive at night?

[@yogindertickoo]

whats with the background music?? feels like the Batman is going to show up any second! like the video though and of course the bikes! cheers!

[@HarleyFurgesson]

Started well, got bored halfway through and then there was a glimmer of hope before it ended. The overlay was a good effect for the title / storyline, just needed something more in the middle, but if it's a new hobby it a pretty good start !

[@michaelwong5356]

Absolutely loved the video. Absolutely hates the music.

[@justDeSoto]

Under "About" try the "Show more" Button; Says "yamaha xs 650 and a kawasaki kz750."

[@thomastraddles1204]

Give them a break! They're just getting ready for the next Wings and W@nkers event in France

[@randywatsonii3173]

These guys are Hip! Where ca I get the same outfits?

[@germanbecerra2216]

Anyone know what's the name of the style of helmet the second person was wearing? Not the open face one

[@ElectricJellyDonut]

It's an open face helmet with a bubble shield.

[@LeonardSquad2]

Its a 3 quarter's helmet with a snap on shield, available from amazon in example here: Shield: www.amazon.com/Biltwell-Inc-Helmet-Bubble-Shield/dp/B00CX9HNB0/ 3/4 Helmet: www.amazon.com/Biltwell-Bonanza-Helmet-Gloss-Black/dp/B0096CIZF0/ Generally these styles have snaps and if you weren't wanting the bubble, or a 3/4 helmet you can get a full face helmet with the snaps for the bubble, however i'm not sure if the bubble will be a sure fit. Link for full helmet below: www.amazon.com/Biltwell-Gringo-Flat-Helmet-Titanium/dp/B00JE5ZJJE/ I hope this answers your question. -JL

[@germanbecerra2216]

Thanks Guys

[@cibiribiable]

I refer to the bike with number plate HS 15708: sure it is a KZ400?

[@adrianvargas8528]

excellent vid, can you tell me the brand of the boots min 0:50?

[@jasonromero6885]

Boots look like Red Wing - iron Ranger.

[@ariefyogi5049]

Redwing "Iron ranger 8111"

[@TheDUCATI851]

I think a KZ-400...SURE!!

[@dharmadhikariatharva]

I want pictures of this bikes

[@Palios33]

what if my heart beats at strokes..

[@cibiribiable]

Really? Why a 400cc is bigger than the other bike?

[@ettoja6849]

"customization of yamaha xs" -and here the kawasaki is shown
