About this film
Part of RevZilla’s Common Tread XP series, this 44-minute film brings Zack and Ari back to the New England region where their friendship and shared interest in motorcycling began. The story centres on a 1965 BMW sidecar racer that Zack previously campaigned with his father, Tim. Getting the old racer ready for the journey connects its past with a new outing: a trip north that leads to Ari’s first sidecar race. The film combines a motorcycle road trip with the practical challenge of travelling on a vintage machine intended for competition.
The journey
The adventure starts with work to prepare the BMW sidecar racer, followed by a road trip from Vermont to Canada. The destination is tied to a clear purpose: competing in a sidecar race, where Ari will make his racing debut in the class. The film’s travel thread follows the pair and the old BMW on the way to that event, with the racer’s ability to make the journey part of the story. Its focus stays on the link between getting a vintage sidecar ready, riding it across the border, and reaching the start of a race.
