Episode 5:

About Dr. Jules:

“Motorcycles are dangerous, though, living in complacency is lethal.” Most people when parting will advise each other to take care, perhaps a more rigorous approach to things would be to advise each other to take risks. Obviously, risk and physical danger should be approached with absolute caution, although, when taking risks with ideas and choices in one’s medium caution plays another role.

In my work taking risks means pushing the envelope past the status quo to achieve a vision. Perhaps, risk taking has less to do with taking a leap of faith and more with trusting one’s creative process and following through with rigorous craftsmanship and visual, material balance. I’m not here to re-invent the wheel with my bikes, my purpose is to find a point-of-contact between ideas, machine and design between the the things I deem beautiful. Yes!, I make beautiful machines that can be dangerous. But, ask yourself, is it worth living, for something you are not willing to die for?
