Why o Why is there no acceptable motorcycle movies

Examples: biker boys, torque

Same reason 86 year old OAPs get upset about youfs what don't tuck their shirts in - NO understanding of the component elements of a particular culture.

Check out the Waikato KB Ride clip. Leaves Torque and Biker Boys for shit!! :spudbooge

**StoneChucker** · 25th November 2004, 16:45

It's a nice clip. Would love to have seen more though. Nice stoppies and wheelies

Torque is just The Fast and the Furious with the bikes instead of those poser cars. I always laugh when I hear people go on about the Fast and the Furious. They don't really know how the motor works yet they reckon they know all about cars because of the movie telling them about NOS, neons, chrome, intercoolers and body kits improving aerodynamics (all their spoliers and body kits are 10% function, 80% style and 10% piss).

Once I get my licence......

The ones from the 70s were pretty good e.g. EasyRider, Stone (Aussie flick)

I've been meaning to rent 'The Wild One' - an old Marlon Brando movie from the 60s I think..

Oh crap i forgot what i was about to say
...
hang on....
Motorbike movies, right.
Oh yeh i burnt my soul once, it melted a little on the exhaust of my GB.
No wait that was a sole.

Why cant stunt riders be hard boys in films - they all chuck dirt tyres on the road bike for off road scenes, i just use road tyres

"On Any Sunday" was the one - came out here in '73 and there was no bullshit in that. "On Any Sunday II" in '78 was OK, but not as funny as the first one. "Easy Rider" was '69 and the funny thing is if I watch it now I think it is a crap movie but back then it was so cool. They were all crash and burn back in the 60's and early 70's with other movies like "Vanishing Point" though that was about a car.

**ahem**

Are we forgetting"silver dream machine" with David Essex...

Any Poms out there should remember

**onearmedbandit** · 25th November 2004, 21:34

And we're forgetting 'Faster'. Anyone else here heard of it, or seen it. Apparently a brilliant movie/docu covering the 2002/03 Motogp season.

If you haven't seen it PM me with your address and I'll send you the dvd.

Did you ever see 'Little Faus big Halsy' from the early 70's. As I recall it was about a couple of desert racers on a green DT1 who move on to road racing - starred Rob Redford and Michael J Pollard.
