About Masala Rider

2008-12-20T05:28:00.000-08:00

Masala Rider is the second documentary film from Isaac Niemand.
Funny thing is that the first one is not finished yet.
However, masala riders is how I call the riders around India riding Enfield
all over the country, not for one week, not for one month, but for a life.
Riding Enfield in India is the ultimate riding experience.

You can be a Hell angel in any first world country, and think that you are a cool guy riding your
expensive Harley.
You might think that you are the prototype of freedom,
with your expensive leather pants, your nonsense tattoos,
on your expensive roads,
eating cheeseburger at any the drive-in McDonald's...
Well, you are not.

Freedom is riding Enfield in India
the fucked up roads, loaded with crazy traffic,
no alcohol test,
the chaos all over, the chai shops, the non rules,
the amazing sometimes landscape,
the noise, the cows, the police, the people, the smiles,
no deadlines, no Km counting,
no planing, no rush,
Lord Shiva
and a lot of xilum.

I started the movie in autumn 2009,
and to be honest I don't know how and when I'll finish it,
this is India,
she takes control on you,
you are not riding my dear, she's riding you.
