Met Haynes is a humble, down-to-earth New Mexican who loves working with his hands to create beautiful and unique custom motorcycles. He has a deep passion for constructing the bikes from the ground up in his garage at home. This craft is only a part-time job for Met, but it has truly brought him happiness and peace of mind. He feels it is important for everyone to have a hobby which they are enthralled with. This short inspirational documentary gives a glimpse into Met's life, which is meant to encourage viewers to find their avocation that enthralls them, whatever it may be, and pursue it to the fullest.

  • You dont put an engine in a motorcycle. You create a motorcycle. A frame is not a motorcycle. An engine is not a motorcycle. You can have a wife and kids. Dont make it a family. The sum of the parts define the product. Be a scooter. Be it a family. Its all take and give. Compromise. Compromise is a magical word.

  • smart man - never make your passion a job! Work is work...more people need to know that - nothing wrong with work. Passion for hobbies give color and meaning to live...once they become a job...they cease to be anything but a means of support.
