Helmet Stories: The films we love

For a long time we have waited for a motorcycle festival in India that welcomes all bikers to come and hang out and party, sans the politicking, just a common ground to share the biking camaraderie. The India Bike Week in Goa on 2-3 Feb 2013 promises to be just that with fun events, custom bike competition, vintage motorcycles on display, a flea market just for motorcycles and many top music acts.
For us, at Helmet Stories, the most fun is in riding to events like these with buddies, a common song in our hearts. And at the end of the day looking at our parked bikes, engines ticking cool in the dark of that night, there's that quiet joy of another perfect day. And of course a fine Scottish beverage.
So here are a few of our favourite  films that inspire us and make the call of the open road so much more desirable... - HARSH MAN RAI, Mumbai
