There was one I saw on tv a little while ago.
jackie chan rocks my world.

In the beggining this city motard gang ? with streamers and christmas lights on their bikes would race their motards down a line of parked cars.

It's a doco, but "Quest for Victory" is good (the cubs love it so it gets a lot of play, chez Wolf)

It's about ELF's involvement in bike sports and has clips of everything from 70's GP to modern day, has Paris-Dakar, MX, sidecar MX, Trials etc. Quite a good all round look at bike events (though slanted towards ELF's machines) with lots of great spills, shots of the Paris-Dakar run etc.

(sigh)

I want to do the Paris-Dakar. I have no illusions about winning it - would be happy to complete it. Spend the next 16 years saving and practising - then stray, the cubs and I can all go in it.

Talking of Docos... has anyone managed to get hold of Ewan McGregor's/Charlie Boorman's "Long Way Round" on DVD here in NZ? Ive read so much about it on here and in other reviews. Ive read the book too, but would love to see the TV.

in ascending order:

10. Biker Boyz (would be higher if not for cringeworthy name)
9. Girl On A Motorcycle (for pure nostalgia and Marianne Faithfull!!!)
8. Electra Glide In Blue (state of the art, way back then)
7. Quadrophenia (UK classic)
6. Silver Dream Racer (best full fairing movie racing bike ever)
5. Streets Of Fire (closest to chick flick on the list so watch with your lady)
4. Torque (forget plot and character development, watch the bikes!)
3. Knightriders (no, NOT Knight Rider!)
2. Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man (I have a V-rod, what d'you expect?

and the all time best:
1. On Any Sunday

Honorable mentions:
Stone (Aussie movie - "Get with Stone - take the trip!")
Mad Max 1 & 2 (not bike movies, but damn good movies with bikes)

Dishonorable mentions:
Deathsport
Stone Cold

No one has mentioned Terminator 2 yet, there are some biking scene's in that.

Torque was ok.

Easy Rider was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen.

**Breed777** · 2nd July 2009, 20:02

What Bike is Megan Fox riding in Transformers 2? and the bike the black guy is riding in final destination 2?

**2wheeldrifter** · 2nd July 2009, 20:16

The only other ones were biker boys and torque and I deeply regret them.

Beyond the Law , Charlie Sheens best work . A ex cop goes undercover to infiltrate a biker gang . It was so realistic the FBI now use it in training their agents .
You have good taste Waylander . Bout time you see the light and come back to the legend , we (the forum) are waiting .

That movie was released here as Fixing the shadow and overseas as Beyond the law. Good film.

any one heard of the one called take back??has patrick stephens the stunt rider ????? been googling but cant find it read about it in a uk bike mag, guess google aint my freind

**ital916** · 15th March 2010, 17:13

One of the best I have seen is one of the original biker flicks to come out after the wild one. A pre easy rider peter fonda in "the wild angels", it is a pretty cool movie.

Anyone in auckland know where I can get a copy of hells angels 69?
