The Film
It's hard to put your finger on what exactly it is that makes "Être et Avoir" (To Be and To Have) such a magical, heartwarming and compelling film. First released in 2002, and newly released on DVD with English subtitles in June 2009, the film has enjoyed critical acclaim and international success, in my mind for good reason.
On the face of it the subject matter doesn't seem that promising, a documentary maker, one Nicolas Philibert, followed the progress of a class in a primary school in France for six months. This, however, is no reality TV special - somehow the director has managed in this film to capture something special and even the subtitles don't detract from what is a beautifully shot insight into the lives of the children and their teacher.

It was simple to get used to, the twist and go throttle lets you concentrate on things going on around you instead of tying up your mind deliberating with clutch and gears. Once the bike is warmed up it provides ample oomph with a flick of the wrist to get off the lights faster than most cars. 0-30mph is relatively rapid, 30-50mph needs more time, 50-70mph how long have you got?
