Princess bride was aweful
Princess Blade was good, but it had a crap ending.
What about that Iron Eagle or whatever series.

It's just that, I love aircrafts (even more than I love bikes). Especially the F14 Tomcat, which IMHO is THE most beautiful piece machinery on the face of the planet. To be a fighter pilot of one would be my ultimate fantasy. Also dogfighting, becomming the best of the best etc etc is something that is very appealing to me.

I actually was doing well in school cause the one thing I wanted to do was be an air force pilot here. Since the cancellation of the Sky Hawks, my dream kind of died with it. I have other interests now and I have the passion that I have found for bikes and racing.

Still, I could just go home and watch that movie again and I'd still enjoy it. It's just something that brings back sweet memories of the years gone by. That's why Top Gun is the coolest movie ever for me...

P.S. I probably was initially interested in bikes cause of that movie. Also, I love the soundtrack!

The 'Dog' off Footrot Flats 'A dog's tail' was my hero

As a snake. But it's true and I'm happy to discuss it anytime with anybody.

I have my reasons and no I was not wasted when I came up with them
