If you want celebrity endorsements, look elsewhere. If you want to see staged engineering for the benefit of the camera, you won't find it here. If, however, you want to understand more about the process, where custom motorcycling is heading next, how it got where it is, and begin to feel as if you know the people involved without the spin or sound bites, I've not seen better. Thoroughly recommended.' Andy Hornsby, Editor, American V.Additional DetailsLabel: Duke MarketingGenre: Sports/GamesRun Time: 100 minsRelease Date: 10/23/12UPC: 5017559104313
