00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:28,Talk about an
apocalyptic dream...

00:00:28,370 --> 00:00:31,300,000 desert acres so smooth

00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:33,you can see the
curvature of the Earth.

00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:38,Terrain so barren, desolate,

00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,devoid of life,

00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,it's as if it were
built for one thing...

00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:45,speed.

00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:51,This is "Ride,"
and we're in Utah.

00:01:04,970 --> 00:01:07,Should we set a speed record?

00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,And one of the
all-time kings of speed,

00:01:09,540 --> 00:01:11,Sir Malcolm Campbell, was on
for a still memorable record

00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:13,down one of those salt flats.

00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,In his supercar Blue Bird,

00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:17,Sir Malcolm blazed
across the Utah desert

00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:20,at a speed that literally
melted his tire.

00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,Yeah, it's like
we're on the moon.

00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,Out here it's like
being in another world.

00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:32,I'm feeling a little lost.

00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:35,Utah is the last frontier
of the old Wild West,

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,a the place where
outlaws sought refuge

00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:40,and pioneers could forge
their own reality...

00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:42,This is cool out here.

00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,Oh, my God. Are
you kidding me?

00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,Something my companion
on this journey

00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:48,knows a thing or two about.

00:01:54,630 --> 00:01:58,Yep, that's right...
Keanu Reeves.

00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:00,I'm seeing Utah
with Johnny Utah.

00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,You want some coffee? Yeah.

00:02:02,900 --> 00:02:05,Keanu and I have talked about
going on a ride for years.

00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:07,I literally have coffee.

00:02:07,430 --> 00:02:09,And it's finally happening.

00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:12,It's our first chance to
spend real time together.

00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,And I can tell already

00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,that this is gonna
be an epic ride.

00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,Yeah, so the Bonneville
Salt Flats...

00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:23,I did a little bit
of the Wikipedia.

00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:26,What I read was
that these two guys,

00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:28,Joseph... like, a guy
who's searching...

00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,I think it was named
after, I think...

00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:32,was it Joseph Bonneville?

00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:36,And then they were like, "Hmm.
I wonder if we can go fast?"

00:02:36,370 --> 00:02:40,Right. I want to say 1903, 1913.

00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:43,I'm getting all
these facts wrong.

00:02:43,290 --> 00:02:44,All of them are wrong.

00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:47,But I just think it's
funny that, like, you know,

00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:49,humankind coming out here

00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,and wondering,
like, what can we...

00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,What can we crank up
just a little bit more?

00:02:52,430 --> 00:02:53,"Charles." "Yes, Simon?"

00:02:54,130 --> 00:02:55,"We have this car that's
g***t a huge engine in it.

00:02:55,690 --> 00:02:58,It's top of the line,
new world, new thing,"

00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,you know, before the
super highways were built.

00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,Yeah, yeah.

00:03:02,050 --> 00:03:04,And then they were like,
"Put the pedal down."

00:03:05,010 --> 00:03:06,And then, ever since then,
people have come out here

00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,to see how fast they can go.

00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,Yeah. I love
it.Motorcycles. Cars.

00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:13,Here. There's more now,
and I'll give you that one.

00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,So tell me about Arch.

00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,We started the company in 2011,

00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:21,and this is the KRGT-1.

00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,I call it kind of metro modern.

00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,Yeah. It's beautiful.

00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,But how come you've never
come out here to do this,

00:03:27,420 --> 00:03:29,like, take your bikes out here,
just see how fast they go?

00:03:29,990 --> 00:03:31,I don't know if I'm,
like, a speed demon.

00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:34,How'd you get into motorcycles
in the first place?

00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:36,When I was a kid, I grew
up in Toronto, Canada.

00:03:36,390 --> 00:03:38,And every summer,
motorcycle gangs

00:03:38,950 --> 00:03:41,would come into the Yorkville.

00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:42,I just remember as a
little, little kid,

00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:45,11-year-old, going,
like, "Freedom."

00:03:45,130 --> 00:03:47,It felt like freedom. It
felt like alternative.

00:03:47,530 --> 00:03:50,It felt like power.

00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:52,You know, like,
"Waah!" They'd come in.

00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,Camaraderie, the whole thing.

00:03:55,270 --> 00:03:56,And so it began.

00:03:57,100 --> 00:03:59,I like that you're,
like, a dude-dude.

00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:00,You know, like, you're
sitting on the ground,

00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:03,getting filthy, drinking coffee,
talking about stuff like this.

00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:05,It's nice to see you on
the ground. No, it's nice.

00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,Get the opportunity
to ride and hang out.

00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,Cheers. Thank you for doing
this episode. Cheers to the mud!

00:04:09,370 --> 00:04:10,Thank you, Mr. Reedus.

00:04:10,770 --> 00:04:12,It's a pleasure
to have you, man.

00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:14,Pleasure, man.
Thank you for...

00:04:14,290 --> 00:04:15,for the journey.

00:04:23,610 --> 00:04:25,Utah is an extraordinary state.

00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:28,There's no other state like
it because of the culture.

00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,Utah's heritage
was a bunch of pioneers

00:04:30,830 --> 00:04:34,coming through the mountains
and selecting this valley

00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:36,said, "This is where we belong."

00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:40,Utah is a place where you can
just really find your own niche.

00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,You can come here and you
can make a life for yourself

00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:44,in whatever it is
that you want to do.

00:04:44,890 --> 00:04:46,That rebel spirit,
that independent spirit,

00:04:46,930 --> 00:04:48,you can see it every single day.

00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:52,A lot of people come here,
and they stay forever.

00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:54,What's not to love, honestly?

00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,Your bike is covered in salt.

00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,I didn't get to the
fastest this bike could go.

00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:05,I think I need another
couple of runs.

00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,♪ Beyond the valley of
the shadow of doubt ♪

00:05:15,180 --> 00:05:16,Reedus: Leaving the
Bonneville Salt Flats,

00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:21,we'll head east into the city
founded by Brigham Young.

00:05:21,140 --> 00:05:22,Making our way south,

00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:26,we'll visit a world-class
racing team in Summit County

00:05:26,190 --> 00:05:28,before achieving
peak sensory overload

00:05:28,190 --> 00:05:31,in the Canyonlands National Park

00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,and the final ride to Moab

00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:35,for a celebration of
motorcycles and fire...

00:05:37,770 --> 00:05:40,a three-day, 500-mile
journey through the sparse

00:05:41,030 --> 00:05:43,but otherworldly Utah desert.

00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:46,Whoo! Utah.

00:05:46,340 --> 00:05:47,It is
pretty, isn't it?

00:05:47,820 --> 00:05:49,But, you know,
like, I'm gonna miss

00:05:49,470 --> 00:05:52,riding motorcycles in
Georgia, that's for sure.

00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,How many months out of
a year would you shoot?

00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:57,Eight months, but
this last season,

00:05:57,530 --> 00:06:00,we did almost a year
and a half solid.

00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,Now, I remember when I
did "Matrix" 2 and 3,

00:06:08,150 --> 00:06:10,that was 22 months.

00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,It's so groundbreaking,
"The Matrix."

00:06:12,370 --> 00:06:14,Just kinda pick up something
new every time you watch them.

00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,They're great.

00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:20,The best sci-fi has something
to say about who we are

00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:22,and what we are and
what we're doing.

00:06:22,730 --> 00:06:24,Yeah.

00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:27,So much of it was just
foresight into the world

00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,that we live in now
and simulation, AI.

00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,All sorts of...
