Predator 2`s just started on t.v.,5 minutes in and there`s a burning Harley laying on it`s side in the middle of the road,I hereby declare it the finest biking moment in any movie.

I never watched a good biker movie, but I have just finished watching "Me and Will" on the Rialto Channel and I have to say it is worth watching.

Jane and Will meet at drug rehab after Jane OD'ed and Will crashed her motorcycle driving stoned. They hit it off immediately and escape the clinic to ride their bikes to Montana and find the bike from Easy Rider.

Hehe I wanna build Kaneda's bike. Anyway, only biking movies I've seen that were really worth it were Easy Riders and Beyond the Law.

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

Now Hitcher, I know you were younger when you posted this but isn't it Quadrophenia, and wasn't the deaf dumb and blind kid in Tommy?

No ones mentioned "Silver Dream Racer?" with David Essex? Classic, was actually filmed at some of teh early GP's, keep an eye out for kiwis like John Woodley and Stu Avant in the background. Think the bike used was what Eric Buell started out with.

It may be a doco but nothing beats "Faster"

Also was there a bike sequence in one of the speed Movies?? I remember that..... but I was too young to remember details back then......

There was an Australian film about speedway sidecar racers, from the late '70's probably? I think it might have been called "Sidecar Racers". Can't remember much about it.

Never saw "Silver Dream Racer" though remember there was much talk about it at the time. Must see if it's out on video.

Bob: yes, I do believe "Battletruck" was filmed in NZ.

Then there was "Girl on a Motorcycle" starring Marianne Faithfull. I've never seen it. I think it was made in the late 60's?
