AND DON'T FORGET THE "WILD ONE"!!!! it was the FIRST biker flick....the one that gave motorcyclists a bad name that still hasn't worn off.

Hey Mick,

If you're referring to Stone Cold starring Brian Bosworth (the ex-NFL football player) that was a good movie to watch. I particularly enjoyed the scenes of the choppers riding through the courthouse.

No the movie is STONE, released in 1974. They do a burnout, but it's in a Pub.

Mission Impossible II had some pretty cool scenes with a Black Naked.

Matt Mingay was the movie stuntman, he rides a Bandit in his pro stunt shows...

I had to turn Bikersboyz off when they started drag racing on dirt roads with street rubber.

I thought the purple Rain bike was a honda CB450 (only two exhausts) and a Vetter fairing.

i couldn't find good big photos, but you are right
its a smaller bike. I forget how little prince is.
on the DVD sleeve the engine looks smaller than the fairing

what was the bike movie 25 years ago, where the bike club was like some Knighhood? I think that Ed Harris or one of the "Right Stuff" guys was in it?

I wanna see the M/C Diaries. Also wanna see the GP movie that just came out on DVD.

oh shmack!

how could I forget Judas Priest's video for "Turbo Lover"
bad special effects, bad hair, cheesy techno-metal, g-strings with fishnets, bike-riding robots, sidecars, crazy fenderless naked frankenbikes, and everything else.

great motorbike media!

Dust to glory is good, I have a couple Isle of Man DVD's one called the Road Racers and V-Four Victory and the other called TT a Film Documentary. Whitehorse Press it good for moto stuff.

I rented "Dust to Glory" from the video store the other day. Excellent cinematography! I had to add it to my collection... and I don't do that very often - it's my wife who usually buys movies.

It's a documentry on the Baja 1000 and covers the bikes & trophy trucks the most. Some buggies and a smattering of stock car class and only a couple of spots on the ATV's. It's done by Dana Brown, son of Bruce Brown, who did "On Any Sunday." Like his dad, he started off with a surf documentry film ("Step into Liquid").

How about this one! Outstanding 2004 documentary of the MotoGP

It's even available on Amazon.com.

Just saw "World's Fastest Indian".....It's the best motorcycle based theatric movie ever made.

Can take the whole family. Just real people in a real time...captured the era.
I know he really didn't go 200 mph, but otherwise it was pretty realistic.

Loved seeing those old land speed vehicles...and representations of real characters like Rollie Free ...I can't say enough. I got a little choked up when they gave him the sportsman award.

I think this was Hopkins best movie.

Fantastic! See it!
