If we are talk'n tv shows as well how could we forget good old Arthur Fonzarelli,I seem to recall an episode where the Fonz was going to do a death defying jump but i can't recall if he did it or chickened out,anyone remember? When Happy Days was current i thought he was so cool " HEYYYYY". I have recently seen some old episodes & now to me he is mega cringeworthy  :-[

I saw an interview with the Fonz back in the day and he said he was scared of motorcyles.  They pushed him out on a Harley sportster in an early episode and he fell over so they got him a lighter Triumph.  Kind of burst the bubble for me as a kid.

What about Race with the devil with Peter Fonda were they had two KX 250's on the back of a camper van that they rode around the desert before they were chased by devil worshippers.  Saw it in the cinemas and found a copy years later.

Then came Bronson is available as a boxed set.  Google it.

There was also a great movie with David Carridine where he was broken down under a bridge trying to fix a chopper and befriends an abused kid on a bicycle.  Can't remember the name of the movie but it was a good one.


There's also The mask with Cher which was a good movie.

And as an adolescent boy who can forget the naked girl on the Honda in Vanishing point. She was the talk of the school yard the next day.

What about the Machanic starring Charles Bronson, a big chase on 69 Husky 360 or 400.

Yes, and be warned !! If you go over a cliff on a Husky, when you plummet to your death the bike will explode !!  :D

A movie (probably d grade ::)) from back in the day when gay meant bright and colorful ;). ;D (Although in this context it could be either  ;D - thank God it's not a colour pixie :P)

Starring a YDS5C or YM2C of course  8) (the heads are different).
