You will need to win the 10mil lotto before that becomes cheap.

He must have spent months researching frame and engine numbers. Does the fact that Dennis Hopper originally owned the '68 Commando make it a big dollar collectors item? I have my doubts on that one.

Me too :D

Your gotto to be kidding, don't you Firko?
I reckon he has a heaps better acting CV than half of the plastic nancy boys out there these days.
Although he may not have been the lead actor in many all-time classics his character performance was certainly incremental in their success.

He appeared in some real flops, but it wasn't him that let them down, that's for sure!!
The one thing I took with me from "Water World" was his ability to always match and in some cases out perform the lead,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the one delivery I remember is "well just don't stand there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,kill something"

looks like chuck bronson is riding a sportsman/rt husky in the movie not a 400cross.,painted guards,headlight and a different pipe to a
cross model. on youtube try " the mechanic motorcycle chase"-2 min 40sec of the worst bike chase possibly filmed with a surprise,fun
explosion thrown in.          cheers (picky bastard) g

No, No No Mick......I wasn't picking on the great man, more the bike. Those old 8 speed Huskies aren't all that great and I doubt that even Hoppers DNA on the seat would make it more valuable in my mind.
My favourite Hopper part? As the evil Frank Booth in Blue Velvet.
