    what, Torque?

    no, really, it was bad. lame, pathetic, unfunny, not exciting, just *crap*. why lose two hours out of your life?

    watch Easy Rider again, instead.

    REALLY didnt like that movie...but then it wasnt aimed (or made) for my age group. I did wet myself during the Starsky&Hutch movie when they parodied it.

    Torque, or Easy Rider? ER was a good movie.

    but Torque isn't even eye-catchingly bad enough for a top-10-bad list. It's just mediocre in every respect. I'd rather watch Children Of The Corn II.

    if the Charger 440 in Bullitt was somehow a bike, it would have been the bestest bike ever, but its a cage so I'm going to get lynched for mentioning it now, arent I.

    but perhaps we can allow it honourable mention as a motor vehicle from a movie that rocked.

    which reminds me; what bike did McQueen ride in The Great Escape? [edit: I'm guessing a BMW, presumabyl, but which model?]

    What about JBonds BMW MB from his second bond movie...was it a K1 or something? Nice colour (but not orange).
    [edit] I mean P.Brosnan's second Bond movie.

    Ah - so it is - I responded to the headline - (read all questions before starting).

    Great Escape still stands
    Triumph Bonneville - Clint Eastwood - Magnum Force.
    Arnie on the Fat Boy in Terminator. 'Gif me yor cloze and yor modorcycle'.
    His Bonneville gave Gere's charachter credence in 'Officer & Gentleman'

    authenticity, eh, gotta love it.

    "I bought a vampire motorcycle" - Norton Commando.

    One of these days I'm going to get hold of a copy of this on VHS (never released on DVD) then have a KB movie night. Show you all what you've been missing!

    Remember to never split an infinitive. The passive voice should never be used. Do not put statements in the negative form. Proofread carefully to see if you words out. And don't start a sentence with a conjugation. (William Safire)

    Legend has it that the stunts were performed - controversially at the time, by mcqueen - on a Triumph Speed twin dressed up as a BMW.

    How about the bike that Michael Carrington (had to look that up) 'built' in Grease 2? He made that bike from bits he found at the dump!
