Great motorcycle movies

[Cooter]

Sounds interesting ^^^ I'll look it up!

 

[treeman]

Hell yeah. I think it is cool you guys got Buells over in England and Oz.

not really a motorcycle movie per se, but Robert Blake in Electraglide in Blue is what got me started wanting to ride when i was a kid.

 

[treeman]

Robert Blake was quite a character. Great movie. Did he ever end up in jail? Is he still alive?

I remember as a kid looking at a bike and thinking that little thing could take me cross country or all over back roads. I had to have one some day. I still look at a bike that way, esp. the new little Buell with the big sound.

Make sure you have your Kleenex handy before you fire up Road. VERY good documentary. Worth every minute. But it'll hit you in the feels.

Well i like the 1935 George Formby film called "No Limit" where he races the "shuttleworth snap" at the IOM TT and wins obviously!! You lot probably wont like it though as it is good old fashion british rubbish but really funny and easy watching!!! and hey he plays the ukulele too!! Lol https://youtu.be/ukCc3c6RVo4 here is a little clip!

How he beat Mcguinness ill never know.....LMFAO

I don't really live in Oz. I'm in the US - a hunter working for the IRS.
Just kiddin'!!

"Why we ride" is my favorite. Still chokes me up a little in a couple parts.

That's my go-pro footage he posted. I look a lot like Tom Cruise when I squid around in only my sunglasses:angel:





And I always have a soundtrack playing:black_eyed:

 

[treeman]

Here's mine

Old but great documentary On Any Sunday. It's on Hulu and is definitely a classic. I believe a new one made by the same people is going to be released in November.

 

[treeman]

I am real old but still able to act like a kid but can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned in 4 pages. You guys must all be young.

 

[Gloomshadow]

that one is a given.. ha ha

 

[treeman]

Here is a pretty neat clip of a pretty cool real old series about a dude that was on a bike trip forever.

 

[treeman]

Ran across this after posting that. Comments on this are interesting. Back in 1970 I got back from USMC Viet Nam and took a trip from Jersey way up into Canada on my 1970 Bonneville with loud pea shooters and Harley Solo seat which wasn't attached and arced on the battery when you hit rr tracks and bumps. Road trips are the best.
