    Nick is a perfect example of what America is about and he's the kind of person who we need more of.. he came to America with nothing more than a dream and he's worked very hard to reach his goal and make his dream a reality.. the spotlight needs to be shown on him and others like him ..

      Yeah, America is all about immigrants looking for money and a huge market, nothing more 😂

    Awesome doco Nick is an absolute kiwi legend and proud of what he has achieved in the states with his family. Have known nick from back in the kaikohe days in NZ and was lucky to see him a couple of yrs back when holidaying in NZ.

    A really inspiring documentary. It shows what hard work, passion and dedication can achieve. Recently I heard a phrase: 'everybody loves the result but only a few are willing to pay the price'. Nick sure paid his price but man what a result. He and his team can be proud. Greetings from a Dutch motorcycle enthousiast! And compliments for the film maker.
