In this Petrolicious feature, we meet the passionate off-road enthusiast Matia Baji, who shares his profound connection to the sense of freedom and presence he experiences while tearing up the trails on his trusty vintage 1981 WR430 Squarna. Unlike the modern bikes favored by his friends, Matia's heart lies with the raw power and unique charm of his classic machine. Through the challenges of mastering a two-stroke engine and navigating the rugged terrain, he finds a thrilling escape and a form of therapy that keeps him coming back for more.
Matia's love for off-road riding extends beyond mere adrenaline-pumping action; it intertwines with his art studio practice, drawing parallels in physicality, presence, and even the satisfaction of getting dirty in pursuit of his passion. The exploration of California's hidden gems on his motorcycle not only fuels his sense of adventure but also serves as a canvas for artistic inspiration. The symphony of skill and machine harmonizes as Matia maneuvers his bike with finesse, pushing the boundaries of his abilities while reveling in the capabilities of his vintage ride.
Through Matia's eyes, the motorcycle transcends its mechanical nature to become a work of art in itself, reflecting his aesthetic sensibilities and providing a canvas for self-expression. His unwavering dedication to the vintage off-road experience speaks volumes about his commitment to authenticity and the thrill of forging his path where no road exists. As Matia continues to ride, explore, and create, his journey on two wheels becomes a testament to the enduring allure of off-road motorcycling and the profound connection between man, machine, and the great outdoors.
