CHIARA KI RACCONTA IL FASCINO DELLE MOTO D’EPOCA | EP.39 S1

Dear biker friends, today on Prove Libere – chats at any speed – we have a guest who experiences motorcycling in a completely personal, profound, and unconventional way. A woman who doesn't talk about motorcycles as simple objects, but as presences, memories, symbols, and traveling companions capable of transcending time. In this episode, Aktarus meets Chiara Ki, collector, traveler, and vintage motorcycle enthusiast, for a conversation that goes far beyond the engine. Chiara calls herself a "collector fetishist," but the meaning of her words is immediately apparent: for her, motorcycles aren't truly owned, they're cared for. And caring for them means preserving their memory, their history, their character, and even the lives that have passed through them. The conversation touches on cinema, the legends of the 20th century, iconic motorcycles linked to great films, the allure of the 1970s and 1980s, the world of custom motorcycles, Vespas, English motorcycles, regularity races, the Milan-Taranto race, the Moto Giro d'Italia, and the privilege of still using vehicles that force us to experience time in a completely different way. One of the episode's strongest themes is precisely this: the vintage motorcycle is not just a means of transport, but a form of relationship with memory. Chiara describes travel as an immersion in other lives, collecting as an attempt to maintain order amidst chaos, and the use of vintage vehicles as an almost meditative experience, but also a physical, concrete one, made up of breakdowns, maintenance, style choices, and the assumption of risk. The episode also highlights his participation in events like the Moto Giro d'Italia and the Milan-Taranto, his relationship with vintage outfits, contexts, and atmospheres, and his belief that every motorcycle has a distinct soul, its own history, and a sentimental code worth listening to. It's a dense, magnetic, and at times almost literary episode, which talks about motorcycles but also says a lot about time, desire, identity, and the way certain passions end up choosing us before we choose them. 🔔 Subscribe to the YouTube channel so you don't miss the next episodes.
