SLEEPING DISORDERS

The MT09 is screaming in the streets again, creating some sleeping disorders.

"This is a story about the obscure side that belongs to everyone of us. The Dark Side that every biker has met at least once in his life, riding a motorcycle or maybe just explored in his dreams. It’s a spark in the night, that magic heartbeat that lasts forever. The time when dreams and reality are fused in a unique dimension, lights and shadows dance together, filled with insane pleasure. Fear and joy play the same song, in the same band."

Luigi Pane ^:g creative director

Back in Tokio again
