Building up my collection of bike movies. Now with DVD they dont't take so much space. And I always hated that rewinding thingy.

Got my hands on STONE. Had not seen it since..since, sheit, the seventies. Did U know that the Vietnam Vets took their patch from The Gravediggers? And for all you who like bikes from the east, those Kawa 900's were the superbike of the time.

But it is funny how things I then thought were soo cool today at times are almost painfully embarrasin.

Now, any suggestions what next for the collection??:scooter:

You could always go to the Internet Movie Data Base web site and type "motorcycle" in the search window:sherlock:

Jeez saw that stone when I was around 15 (think it was R18), seems a bit corny nowadays but some of the getting stoned and big bike stuff sure impressed a bunch of westie teens. Wonder where those old 900's they used all ended up..?
Vaguely remember on any Sunday too as being a good watch.

On Any Sunday !!

Now that is a great movie !!! (sheez, showing my age here)
I liked the part where they have that TZ-750 powered streamliner at Bonneville and had to have it towed to a fast speed where they could start it. Onboard footage with the noise was fantastic !!!

Where do I get myself a copy of that?

Mate, there's loads of way-cool 'B-grade' shit out there. Fonda might be remembered for Easy Rider but I think he'd rather be forgotten when it comes to Wild Angels. I saw 'Chrome and hot leather' as a teen but that might even qualify for a 'C', as does 'Hells Angels 69', which might sound like a biker porno but it ain't. Perhaps it shoulda been.

The list isn't endless and good biker movies are hard to find. I did laugh at 'Wild Hogs' and the bike content of 'Mask' (one of Cher's better efforts) wasn't huge but it's a pretty cool movie anyway.

Spiderman rides a scooter.

There's a tricycle in 'Chicken Run' does that count? (It's an epic movie, a better love story than 'Titanic')

The Aro Street Video Store in Welly has an incredible lineup.

Not a bad flick. And some Triumph riding in it. Very good for a NZ effort.
I love the beginning. Classic.
