THE EMPIRE
Hungry Wolf Motorcycles and NZ Blokes are back!
Wind Therapy is an initiative supporting mental health through Motorcycles.
After struggling with mental health for many years, the founder of this initiative, Nic Scott, found support through bikes, and his riding community and wants to share this same support to Kiwis who need it.
Wind Therapy is about finding your people, it’s about getting out of your head, learning something new, finding the satisfaction in fixing up your bike when it breaks down, making modifications to make it how YOU want YOUR bike, and doing it YOURSELF, for yourself.
We want to showcase, with some inspiration from the very talented Kelvin from Hungry Wolf Motorcycles, just what can be done in a shed with the right attitude and some support from friends. All of this pulls together to underline what is a pandemic of mental health in our kiwi men. So many struggle and not enough is being done. There is still a stigma around talking about our feelings and what we need to face the day, which is why all of us came together to send a clear message. It’s okay to not be okay, talk to your friends.
We are documenting all parts of this journey. When we started this, we didn’t know how to achieve what we wanted to do. This community has stood up and showed up for the goal because they too, know the value in this lifestyle we’ve chosen. Now that we have one project bike under our belt, with a lot of experience, new friends and new ambition, this one is going to be even better!
We love the power social media can have, pulling together like minded people to achieve something truly special. Which is why we’re using all the major social platforms, from Facebook, YouTube and Instagram to Tiktok.
Last time, with no marketing budget, this story, project and dream raised over $20,000 – you can check out the full recap HERE.

In mid-2025, Nic was a guest on “The Nutters Club” on Newstalk ZB telling people about how the motorcycle community and this project became a life changing initiative from kicking around an idea with friends.
COMING SOON – we’re excited to say, that we’re doing this again. Armed with many lessons from the first project, some new faces, some continued support, but the same passion and drive to spread our message, this one is going to be bigger, better, bolder, cooler, and much more fun.
Stayed tuned in on our website, subscribe to our YouTube, follow along on all our socials if you’re not already, because you’re not going to want to miss the reveal of the next Wind Therapy project. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve been up to, where we’re at, and where we plan to go – and who we’re supporting!
