Films & vids to watch?

[cbfb]

Been signed off work for a bit by the doc and am getting bored as.

Anyone recommend me some bike-related films to watch? Saw "Closer to the Edge" yesterday which was brilliant.

And got Twist of the Wrist vol2 for tomorrow.

Interested in everthing from adventure to race tuition. Not that fussed about choppers unless it's mostly from an engineering point of view then it's pretty cool.

Want something on DVD or AVI that I can watch on the couch instead of YouTub etc tho, am lazy

Twist of the wrist volume 1 and 2 (great sportbike riding tutorials)
Dust to Glory (doco about the Baja offroad endurance race, really good!)
The Doctor, the Tornado, and the Kentucky Kid (Doco about a particular Motogp Laguna Seca race, narrated by Ewan Mcgregor. Gives a good overview of what goes into the prep for these races)
Faster (Motogp doco)
Fastest (sequel to Faster)

[Badgermat]

Madness in the Desert – BBC doco about the history of the Paris Dakar rally.
Race to Dakar – Charley Boorman competes in the Paris Dakar, much like Long Way Down/Round but faster and with less luggage.

Both are available on YouTube

On Any Sunday. Great doco.

African Odyssey - A bit like the Long Way Down, but it's four kiwi lads with bugger all biking experience riding from Cape Town to London.



It was a few years ago now, not sure if you can still pick up a DVD from their site http://themovie.africanodyssey.co.nz/

Thanks all, managed to find everything apart from the ones below.

Thanks, found all of those apart from Twist of the Wrist vol 1. I've seen vol 2 and have both of the books, both DVDs are on Amazon but can't find Twist I on Fatso (I have a 10 disc/month membership with them so I am pretty reluctant to buy DVDs). Might flick them an email and suggest they buy a copy, don't think it will get me very far!

Didn't have this in Fatso either so I will ask them. Doubt it will happen if not it can go on my xmas list

Charge. Its a doco on the development of the electric bike racing at the Isle of Man. Well worth a watch

Dear cbfb, I must apologise.

Please do not watch Torque or Biker Boyz. I was just joking, but now I know I went too far. In fact, it's not funny at all. Please, I beg you, don't watch those two movies. If you do, you will probably go on a rampage before gauging your eyes out due to the shock and horror of the terrible "biker" movies. If that happens, I will forever regret making a joke for you to watch those movies. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life and will not ride or go near a motorcycle, ever.

I am sorry.

+1 to On Any Sunday.

The Ghost Rider videos are a must watch, too (the European ones where the dude(s) trolls the cops, sometimes in excess of 300kmh).
