Sister is the latest episode in the popular Stories of Bike film series by director Cam Elkins, this episode features best-friends Maria and Nina – both Swedish women who currently live in Sydney and spend their weekends throwing their swags onto the back of their motorcycles and setting off into the countryside to see what they can see.
Both of Maria and Nina are members of The Throttle Dolls – Sydney’s renowned female-only motorcycle club that’s been doing wonders to reverse the stigma that women don’t, can’t or shouldn’t ride motorcycles.
