El Solitario - Only Outlaws Will Be Free

The secret of a genius is to carry the spirit
of the child into old age, which means never
losing your enthusiasm.

– ONLY DEAD FISH GO WITH THE FLOW –

“El Solitario is a Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art, in which the riders, their gear, their machines, their backup, the photography, and the film made of their adventures, are shaped to one vision.”

Good motorcycle events are almost extinct these days, and if you find one, every glittering ounce of them should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond. Last weekend, England´s Grimsthorpe Castle witnessed the celebration of the Malle Mile (One of the last surviving ones!) and the revival of ESMC´s ludicrous race "La Copita”.
In the common law of England, a "Writ of Outlawry" made the pronouncement Caput lupinum - "Let his be a wolf's head” - with respect to its subject, equating that person with a wolf in the eyes of the law. The Outlaw was deprived of all legal rights, allowing others to kill him on sight, as if he was such a wild creature.
