Sarah Lyon's full-color 14 month wall calendar featuring women mechanics and their stories of how they entered into the
non-traditional labor field of mechanics. This unique and dynamic calendar
includes automobile, motorcycle, hot rod, hybrid, marine, jet aircraft, bicycle, and race car mechanics. The project challenges
stereotypes of the typical tool-girl, pin-up calendar by showing real women mechanics working in their shop environments.
$20 ($15.00 + $5.00 shipping & handling) Look closely at Ms December... You may recognize Valerie Figarella, owner of MotorGrrl in Brooklyn, NY - as she's a past
graduate of the Women's Riding School! Go Val!

Film Review - "Riding Solo to the Top of The World"
Riding Solo to the Top of the World, a film by Gaurav Jani, takes you to some of the most remote places in India as
you see the world from Jani's simply packed 350cc Royal Enfield. Allow Jani to whisk you away to the Changthang Plateau, an
area of the Himalayas where you will see him cross the world's highest pass - over 18,500 feet in elevation. Jani's goal is
the Chinese border where the Changpa, a small nomadic tribal community of goat herders dwell.
This is a magical story of adventure and of finding ones self. What appeared on the outside to be just another motorcycle
documentary unfolds quickly into a colorful story of a man, a motorcycle and of a beautiful landscape - filled with all things
wonderful. Jani's sense of self makes you comfortable from the start, the pictorial landscapes and ride adventure keeps you
captivated and as Jani makes friends in the most unlikely places, you too will find salvation at the Top of The World.
To see a preview of the film and to order your copy - follow the Dirt Track Productions link above or click on the photo.
One Crazy Ride - Not So Crazy
If you thought Riding Solo was good.. hold onto your hat, or should I say, your throttle. Gaurav has an amazing artful
eye and captures moments of movement that will overwhelm your senses. I couldn't just watch the video once through.. I had
to watch it twice immediately. I must admit, his moments of riding solo are priceless. His story telling ways are unmatched
and his choices for road routes would curl anyones hair. There is just something about his quiet strength and persistence
that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The One Crazy Ride Team pulls together to give us all the adventure on film we only wish we could experience.
I will never tire of watching One Crazy Ride or Riding Solo to the Top of the World.
You can't help but become a Gaurav fan and cheer loudly for his success. I am looking forward to his next adventure
on film. It can't come soon enough.
