Or the movie that spawned modern motocross, warm up your Tatoo guns, book your ticket to A&E, be followed around by hot women in a hot desert :o

Nobody mentioned the most famous bike movie of all times, and before the ill informed anti Harley ranting starts there were dirtbikes smuggling cash in their tanks at the start.



Hoy, what's this?

I thought easy rider was pretty average. It really warmed up in the last scene though 8)

Sought of reminds me of life a bit.

Just when you think everything is going "just fine".........Karfuginblamoe.

Sounds like your grey matter might benefit from this.

Don't forget the movie that started it all.

The Wild one with Lee Marvin and Marlon Brando.

Still a good movie and worth watching.

And if you have a Z9 in the lock-up, well it would be a pretty standard accessory to have Stone in your DVD collection.

Don't know who was doing the wheelies in that movie, but he was pretty handy though.
Craig Brown.
Foss

And Brian Martin.  8)
Yep and Brian Martin , I'd forgotten that, must be old age or something. !!

Any bikes in that Marc?
Cause when I went to see them all they did was rabbit/rabbit/rabbit.
Nearly got chucked out for telling the commentator  to SHUT UP.
Paid to see bikes not to listen to some yank rabbit on. :)

    I picked up a double dvd with "CC and Company" starring Joe Namath as CC RYDER and Ann Margret,  it's got some great old 60's scrambles footage in the US and "Evel Knievel "starring George Hamilton both movie's are kinda corny - good for a laugh! another good one to look out for is "Dust To Glory" by Dana Brown about the BAHA 1000 -some great footage and comentary similar to on any sunday  ;)  ps just beat me too it A

But really for the last decade it has been about TV and motorcycles in the media and public perception of motorcycling has been defined  by three pure genius's ;D
