Cant leave out the Worlds Fastest Indian.
Damn there is a brilliant Youtube IOM doco that I watched but can't remember what it was called - I believe it was a BBC doco. i remember watching it & actually hoping that the racing would be called off on the final race as you got to know the human side of the competitors & didn't want any of them crashing.
There are some good old BMW docos on youtube if you're into the off road vintage enduro thing.
If you want to diversify a bit, the endless summer is good - made by Bruce brown of On any Sunday fame.
His son Dana also made Step into Liquid which is in that laidback SoCal style. It is an amazing movie that you'll prob appreciate if you like exciting pasttimes.
Otherwise I always search for Lada Niva 4wding on youtube & laugh my head off at what they can do

This is a you tube 30min clip but could be worth a watch.

New flick just released last month:
"Best Bar in America" If you into classic BMW airheads, then you will love this one. You won't find it in the shops. Have to order it on line. Well worth the wait tho.

I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....
Also if you like Long Way series, try "Riding solo to the top of the world. " Brilliant cinematography.

Most biker movies are crap but other people I have spoken to liked "Freebird" (2008). It doesn't get great comments on IMDB but that's possibly because it's British - set in Wales. Worth a watch.
If you need a change from all those competition vids there is Che Guevara's "The Motorcycle Diaries".

Came across this You Tube vid yesterday,made in the late 60's about 3 guys on a road trip from Denver to Panama City-The commentary is a bit corny in places,after all it was the 60's but pretty funny at times,its kind off a mixture of On Any Sunday and Easy Rider with maybe a bit of Vanishing Point thrown in.They started out on BSA Victors but these became unreliable so switched to Kawasaki trail bikes before crossing into Mexico (Ithink).The link above is episode one and follows through to episode 7 each about 15 mins long.
Well worth a look
