The Vintagent has profiled Thessaloniki-based cinematographer Vasileios Papaidis, who has managed the Concours d'Elegance Greece project since 2013. He also races a 1999 Honda CBR1100XX Super Blackbird at the SRC circuit in Serres, Macedonia.

"I loved motorcycles before I knew motorcycles" — that line fits Papaidis perfectly. Thirty years starting with a 1985 Honda V45 Magna, and it's really the story of a nation, Greece itself. Editing Wikipedia to record that culture earns my quiet respect.

It's written from a filmmaker angle, so it doesn't say much about his actual riding skill.

Never knew much about Greek moto culture before — this was a fresh read.

A filmmaker who tracks a CBR1100XX — that combination has real character.

Keeping a '99 Blackbird track-ready must be a real parts-sourcing challenge these days.

Didn't know he's involved in running Concours d'Elegance Greece — his range is impressive.

Based in Thessaloniki — would love to see his footage tied into Mediterranean coastal touring routes.
