    "You need to watch this DVD" - 100% Biker Magazine

    Let's Riiide captures California's motorcycle world like nothing else - 3.5 hours of pure joy. All shot in high-definition and divided into 9 chapters.

    Chapter 1. Welcome to Los Angeles. Ancient creeks and donkey trails have now been paved, transforming them into perfect bike roads, both in and around L.A. - absolute heaven for bike riding. You get to know two dyed-in-the-wool Harley riders, the symbol of American bike culture, and learn how to leave stress and worries behind when you ride. Discover some of the best biker restaurants in L.A., tucked away in the mountains and cradled by the sea.

    Chapter 2. Pacific Coast Highway - This is the reason all bikers come to California. Ride the coast road between L.A. and San Francisco, via the Redwood Forests, ending in San Francisco with a perfect sunset over the Golden Gate bridge.

    Chapter 3. A Day at the Racetrack - Follow trackday regular Rick Becker at Buttonwillow Racetrack and learn how to best prep yourself and your bike for the adrenaline rush of cornering at 100+.

    Chapter 4.  Weekend Getaway - On a visit to the American Riveria in the Santa Barbara area you discover perfect bike roads with rolling hills, old oak trees and vineyards as far as you can see. Highlights include a trip to Curtis Winery for the inside scoop on wine and a visit to the MC museum in Solvang, one of the best in the country, with a private tour from owner Virgil Elings. Up in the mountains above Santa Barbara is an old stage coach stop called Cold Spring Tavern - it's both a living piece of history as well as a bike heaven on Sundays.

    Chapter 5. Who Are They? - Store owners give their take on why bike ownership has exploded over the last decade. This chapter also follows two young daredevils as they fly around the twisty roads in the mountains, hears from Bill Conti as he explains how a sunset is equal to riding a bike and finds out about winemaker Dan Gerhs' raging hormones and how his motorcycle keeps him young.

    Chapter 6. Retro is Right - One of the best restorers in L.A., who also does a lot of historic bike creations for major Hollywood films, gives his view on the fascination on taking old thrown-away parts and making them come alive into a living functioning motorcycle. You visit Corsa Classica, the biggest vintage race, show and swap-meet in the south-west, hear from some of the vintage racers and learn that the camaraderie and the riding itself is more important than winning. 

    Chapter 7. Practice Makes Perfect - How do you get started? Visit an MSF course and learn that going into 3rd gear is an adrenaline rush for beginners. You also discover an airbag jacket for motorcycle riders, take a track course with English former racer Reg Pridmore and discover that this sport is full of your non typical track-rats. Many middle aged men and women fly around the track, showing that your love for speed can be satisfied without risking your life on city streets.

    Chapter 8. Where the Pavement Ends - Yes, you can be a nature child and bring your motorcycle along. California has a whole world to discover beyond the boundaries of paved roads. There are many large areas designated for motorsport recreation. Dive right in and take a dirt-bike class where you learn how to best stay up-right on various surfaces.  Plus, follow AdMo tours on an adventure in the wilderness right outside LA.

    Chapter 9. The Future is Electric - Discover an all-electric motorcycle at an electric vehicle expo in Palo Alto and meet an inventor who uses digital technology to replace all analog switching on a bike.

    "If you've ever thought about riding in the fabled lands of California and wanted to know what it was really like, then you need to watch this DVD - Let's Riiide! Made by a couple of ex-pat Scandinavians with ever so slightly Swedish Chef-type voices that you might find amusing if you're as childish as me, it's three and a half hours long and covers just about every facet of the California bike scene...It's a reet good watch, but I will warn you, it should come with a health warning - watching this DVD will make you want to fly to California and get on a bike immediately if not sooner"100% Biker Magazine
