Twist the Throttle Travels the World of Motorcycles so You Don't Have to

Friday March 14, 2008
Twist the Throttle

Dylan Weiss of Twisting Asphalt and Speed on Two Wheels fame is serious about motorcycles, and he traveled over 36,000 miles and visited 4 countries with his father Milt in order to shoot footage for his latest project, Twist the Throttle. The series of short clips is broken down by manufacturer, and features BMWs in the Bavarian Alps, Hondas at Motegi, and Ducatis in Northern Italy among others... not a bad array of locations or dream machines.

"The gist was not to do a magazine style comparo between the different brands," explains Dylan, "but rather take the viewer inside the various companies and give them a taste for the experience of riding the bikes on the native roads or tracks..." For a total of over four hours of sportbike intensive footage, go to Discovery Channel's Twist the Throttle microsite.

I prefer to travel the world for myself, although that video might make me want to go. I need to win the lottery first!
