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.

"Everyone should have something that they're really into" - no truer words have ever been spoken!

Every biker needs to experience that 'first start up' on a motor and bike they built themselves.! Your video brought a little 1970's feel back to these old bones! Ride on

Am i the only one who just stared at his hat and the way he has bent it for 8 minutes and got amazed when he put the helmet on and how it fit so amazingly?

Awesome video, one of the better ones I’ve seen. Can totally relate with that feeling of riding a unique garage build. Sincere down to earth guy, much respect!

Awesome. Great watch. Nice to see someone being true to themselve and just soaking up the joy of a passion. Keep on my friend, keep on.

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.

Awesome bikes and video. Love the fact dude "builds them to ride." I never understood people building bikes that are never meant for the road. This dude is legit

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.
