I agree! Great flic! Wind, speed, cruising, gab, picking up a comrade and pizza are all spot on.
I specially liked the age-old balance between basic needs; a roof over our heads (the blue tarp) and our spiritual needs (riding a New England road on a crisp morning). Business, rake leaves, ride?
Eating is a basic need. The movie ends with pizza at Casey's so the clear message is we can have both. I'm going for a ride.
Nice flic!
