Gang Of Enthusiasm. A straight up road trip that took a turn.

ENGLISH TEXT BELOW

Dari Jakarta ke Bandung, perjalanan panjang menuju salah satu event motor. Sebuah panggilan untuk mengajak semua teman motoran. Melaju di sepanjang jalan raya hingga gedung-gedung berganti menjadi pepohonan, lalu menempuh rute yang berliku-liku. Kami akan tetap berada di rute jalan-B, penuh lubang dan diselingi desa-desa. Kami menyisakan waktu untuk berbelok dan bersenang - senang di perbukitan, makan di warung pinggir jalan, dan mengisi bensin dari botol-botol jalanan. Saat matahari mulai terbenam, kami akan menepi, tidur di hutan, lalu bangun dan mandi di sungai yang dingin.

Namun ada yang kurang, kami sudah sampai di ujung dan baru
menyadari bahwa sebuah perjalanan adalah tujuan kami selama ini. Lalu kami bersama-sama membuat keputusan, saat itu juga kami memutuskan bahwa saatnya untuk melanjutkan perjalanan.⁠

Terima kasih sebesar-besarnya kepada teman-teman
kami di Canon Indonesia yang telah meminjamkan kami salah satu Canon R3 mereka yang tiada bandingnya, dan juga dua lensa; 24-105mm & 70-200mm, yang semuanya digunakan untuk merekam film ini.

Jakarta to Bandung, a big ride to a bike show. A call went out to grab all our mates and ride. Fly along the highway until the buildings give way to trees then a twisted route from there on out. We would stick to the B-roads, shot through with potholes and punctuated by villages. We left time to veer off and run amok in the hills, eating at roadside warungs and filling up from street bottles. When the sun began to descend we’d pull over, sleep in the woods, and wake up by washing in cold streams. ⁠

Saturday morning we made our destination, the ‘BBQ Ride’ in Bandung. Derelict warehouses repurposed to exhibition space — lines of polished custom bikes and cars to be gawked at. A chance to catch up with fellow riders from across Indonesia, we exchanged stories and collectively soaked up the sights.

But something was missing, we’d reached the end only to realise that the ride had been our goal all along. We collectively made the decision, there and then, it was time to head back on out.⁠

Massive thanks to our friends at Canon Indonesia for loaning us one of their incomparable Canon R3's, as well as two lenses; a 24 105mm & a 70-200mm, all of which were used to shoot this movie.
