You have forgotten another movie, called Warm December, staring Sydney Pointer racing a BSA B50 in England. plus you see other top scrambler racing too.

Motorcycle Diaries, finally even Che a toughened revolutionary gets a guts full of pushing the Norton and they sell it for two bus tickets.... definitely the producers nailed the British motorcycling experience

I've previously posted about the above two movies on another thread. Despite being lemons they're arguably still the best movies with an MX based storyline Hollywood's pumped out.

I'm old enough to remember a TV series called 'Then Came Bronson' that was on our telly's back in '69/'70.
The storyline has Micheal Parks starring as Jim Bronson riding around America on his Harley Sportster. Evey week he'd be in another town solving another mystery or saving some young flower child from the evils of drugs. It was a surprisingly good series but was a little too out there for staid old sixties Australian tastes. I've seen a couple of episodes on DVD in recent times and it scrubs up a lot better than other stuff from the era. Bud Ekins did most of the stunt work and that tosser Charlie Sheen's dad Martin Sheen starred in the pilot as a bad guy.

errrr is their name mentioned in the title  ;D .... surely the MoCo would not resort to product placement. Does this mean 'Wild Hogs' may have had an American Motorcycle maker pitching in.

And here I always thought that I had dreamed Then Came Bronson. Nobody but me could ever remember it. It was on telly in the avos, just before I had to go and feed the calves, in fact mum would be yelling at me to "stop watching that shit and go and feed the bloody calves" Jeez, I can her her now and shes been gone 10 yrs or more.
So, where can I get a copy or two???

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
