SynopsisOne magical spring afternoon, when the leaves on the trees were budding and the birds in the air were singing, Walter Kaaden, a mechanical engineer looking for work, found an abandoned motorcycle deep in the forest outside of Zschopau, East Germany. Walter used the principles of V-2 rocketry he learned from Werner von Braun at Peenemünde to coax the genie - trapped inside Dita's piddly 50 cc motor - to life. Under his care and attention, Dita became the fastest motorcycle on the Continental Circuit. An angel, yet still a trickster, she loved men and women indiscriminately. British, Canadian, or German, the only person she couldn't get was the Italian she hadn't met. Greg Randall captures the seduction of motorcycling and the eroticism of the mechanical. Dita is not just about racing, winning, and twisting wrenches, it is about harmony, finding your place in this world, and the art of living well together. What more could you ask for? ...perhaps a slightly faster bike.
