Life In The Fast Lane

When he is not writing ads, Los Angeles creative director John Stein collects and rides motorcycles.
Now Stein, who runs creative boutique Band of Gypsies, has found a way to marry his full- and part-time passions.
Stein is writing and co-directing a documentary about a man who has devoted his life to recapturing the land speed record for motorcycles. The documentary, The Need for Speed, tracks the efforts of 49-year-old speed fanatic Denis Manning, who must travel at least 326 mph to reset the record that he first achieved in the 1970s.
