    I thought you were in the business of confiscating freedom?

    Our son got it out the other night. I'd been wanting to see it and we enjoyed it! I'd class it as light-hearted entertainment! You couldn't take it seriously, but at my age it empahasised that we should be getting out and having a bit of fun!

    The Missus said later that she thought a SI trip might be a bit much at the moment, so I said we'll just have to do more shorter rides to build up to it! Funny, but she's been somewhat keener on riding lately...

    Now I just gotta get some better health so I don't get to Friday night and collapse for the weekend! At the moment, I just have to see how I feel when I wake up in the morning to know whether I can go for a ride or not.

    Got an MRI on Wed. They goin' see if there's anything between the ears, and my specialist wants me to have some more tests so gotta go to the Doc and organise that.

    W.H... Bloody great entertainment, thats what it was, aint laughed so much in ages, it does bear a little resemblance to those times in the 60's but not a lot it does however bring back a few memories of the road trips and wide open spaces. The strongest memories are the constant running repairs on the HD's and Trumpies.. spent more time on the side of the road making repairs.. its just great we now have reliable metric cruisers

    Huh, I just watched that one on the plane this morning on the way back from LAX. A good light hearted laugh based around motorcycles, yup they do give us freedom as well. I have to go along with ol Scumdogs views here on the type of bike thing.
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    Bought it at The Warehouse. The additional bits on the making of the film is great! Those four, on the same set together, had a great time making the movie. Also, the director is a rider and jumped at the chance to be involved.
