VIEWPOINT
2014 AMA MOTORCYCLISTS OF THE YEAR
Bryan Carroll & James Walker
It has often been said about motorcycling that if it has to be explained to you, you wouldn’t understand. This is one of the challenges we face as a community. It is difficult for non-motorcyclists to understand our passion for motorcycling and why exactly it is that we ride.
Like it or not, many others have can influence our decision to ride motorcycles. This is true whether they be parents, spouses, girlfriends/boyfriends or co-workers whose perception of motorcycles and motorcyclists are shaped by misinformation and stereotypes, or whether they are bureaucrats or elected officials who don’t know the first thing about motorcycling but are suddenly experts when it comes to protecting us from ourselves.
By Rob Dingman
Of course, the most proven way of enlightening people about the fun of motorcycling is to take them out for a ride. But it is not always possible to make that happen.
Two notable individuals have accomplished the next best thing. They have arguably produced the most compelling demonstration for why we ride, short of physically experiencing riding itself. These two people created a full-length movie about motorcycling, aptly titled “Why We Ride.” Their mission was to promote motorcycling to riders and non-riders alike. A year after its debut, their film has become one of the best advertisements for motorcycling available anywhere.
The motorcyclists behind “Why We Ride” are producer/director Bryan Carroll and producer James Walker, and for creating this film, Bryan and James are the 2014 AMA Motorcyclists of the Year.
The AMA Motorcyclist of the Year Award acknowledges the profound impact that an individual or individuals have had on motorcycling over the last year. There is no question that the
Carroll/Walker creation had a most profound impact on motorcycling throughout 2014, and that impact will certainly continue to be felt for years to come.
Not since “On Any Sunday,” which so many motorcyclists credit with igniting their passions for motorcycling, has there been greater promotion of the motorcycling lifestyle through film. “Why We Ride” has been compared to “On Any Sunday” with regard to its ability to paint motorcycling in a positive light and promote motorcycling to the general public. “Why We Ride” has also demonstrated a real potential to reach the non-motorcycling community, while at the same time giving all motorcyclists a film with which we can identify.
The production of “Why We Ride” came at an opportune time. With the motorcycle industry still reeling from the ill effects of the worst economy since the Great Depression, this film provided a much-needed boost in terms of the promotion of motorcycling and the motorcycle lifestyle.
I had the opportunity to visit with James and Bryan in March 2014 at a movie premier event hosted by the AMA in Daytona Beach, Fla. Both are not only passionate motorcyclists themselves but are also eager to share that passion with others, motorcyclists and non-motorcyclists alike.
“Why We Ride” is at once inspirational, educational and celebratory of all things motorcycling. The positive impact of this film on motorcycling will endure well beyond 2014. For their success in this achievement, I congratulate AMA Motorcyclists of the Year James Walker and Bryan Carroll.

to project motorcycling on a mainstream entertainment scale to general audiences.
BC: The lack of education. People see motorcycles or motorcycle riders as something that they’re not. We, like it is with anything, fear what we don’t know. The more we teach people what a motorcycle is, what they’re like to ride and what are the good things that motorcyclists do, all it can do is help us and help motorcycling. Certain movies out there do well by showing motorcycles as something that they’re not. We experienced this with “Why We Ride.” I can’t tell you how many people came up to us and said, “I didn’t know what motorcycling was. I want to ride now.”
AM: What’s your favorite motorcycle movie?
JW: What I really enjoyed is something I watched recently. It’s a short film, you can watch it for free on Hulu, and it’s called “The Build.” It’s very much about the café scene. These guys are northwesterners. It’s just three builders. They don’t build to make money. They build because their passion is motorcycling, and their passion is creating, and these bikes are extensions of themselves, and they don’t know what to do other than make motorcycles. It’s just 17 minutes long, but it’s a great little film. As I dive headfirst into this world and get exposure to all these different genres, I’d say the one that I connect with most right now are the builders.
BC: That’s a tough one because it changed as I went through my life, you know what
I mean? I don’t know if it’s a motorcycle movie, but as far as movies that have motorcycles in them that inspired me, “Quadrophenia” was a huge inspiration for me, and now that you see the whole café racer trend with the mods and the rockers going on. One of the most memorable ones was when I watched “Take it to the Limit.” That was the first I learned of the Isle of Man and those guys flying through the Isle of Man with the fog. I couldn’t really just pick one. A couple months ago, I watched “The Unrideables 2” and was blown away.
AM: What bikes do you have now?
JW: I have a 2009 Honda Shadow. It’s the first bike I ever bought. I got my license during production of the movie. And I have a ’67 Ducati 100cc bike that my son and I will rebuild one day. It’s a real barn find, and I got it for $75, and he and I are going to learn how to wrench on bikes together.
BC: A 2013 Husqvarna TR650. That’s one bike that I will never get rid of. They made it one year. I rode that bike while I was making this movie. It’s very special to me, and I will never get rid of it. Of course, there’s my son’s PW80 that I restored for him. And I just ordered that new Triumph Thruxton Ace Special.
AM: When you think about getting on a bike and going riding, what is it you look forward to?
JW: I grew up being a car nut, and I like racing, so the sense of speed and
adventure is there, but I never thought of motorcycling outside of being a racing fan until I got into this film. The experience on two wheels that I feel excited about is the sense of stepping out of the craziness that is my world and my life. It’s just me and the bike, and the bike isn’t asking me to answer emails. It’s not asking for decisions, other than how to stay upright and having a fun time.
AM: What is your next motorcyclingthemed project?
JW: We’re on the verge of closing all the deals we need closed to go back and tell the Ed Kretz story the way we want to tell it—it’s called “Full Throttle,” and it will capture a very important period in the history of motorcycling. So, in hindsight, this amazing journey that has taken up three years of my life has gone full circle to where we all started four years ago.
BC: When began making “Why We Ride,” we had literally no budget. Still, when we started raising money, I realized I couldn’t go after any sponsors. I needed complete creative control. Luckily with James working with us, I was able to do that. As we approach the next film, we’re going about it the same way. We want to raise the money we need to produce a feature film about Ed Kretz and the early days of Class C racing. It was such an amazing time. Doing it without sponsorship dollars and with just investor dollars takes a little bit longer.
AM: What’s the target date on the Ed Kretz feature?
BC: We hope to be shooting it within the year. We have a great script and a great crew, and we just hope to get some investors on board who want to help us tell the story of America in the ’30s and the Class C racing community in southern California. It was such a simpler time of stripping down the bike and going racing, but I also think there’s an appreciation of that today—there’s something about that engine, wheels, chain, brake mentality that makes sense.
