I'm 52 yrs young and I remember a time in the 60's when Hollywood was infatuated with the Biker Lifestyle. You could go to a "Drive-In Movie" on any given night and choose fromclassics such as Chrome & Hot Leather,Chopper Chix From Zombie Town, etc, etc.. My personal favorite was "The Wild Angels" (Bruce Dern, Peter Fonda Nancy Sinatra, Diane Ladd, Michael J. Pollard, Buck Taylor). It came out about two years before Easyrider in 1966andconvinced me that I needed a "Spider" bike with a leopard print banana seat for Christmas in order to cement my image as a 12 year old biker (much likeskateboarders of today). I realize that I am an old fart and most of you are younger than I am, butmy question is: In your opinion, Whatwas the best biker move ever made?

You are a youngster jc.

Ever see The Wild One -Marlon Brando, Lee Marvin??

"What are you rebelling against?" asks someone. "What've you got?"

Lotsa good ones, way back when.
They were better (they were understood), in the 60s.
It's a different scene now.

Bruce Dern was good in whatever he was in. Ever see WaterHole #3??

Hell's Angels 69 was good.

Oh wait.

You asked 'Whatwas the best biker move ever made?'.

the best biker move was made by Clint Eastwood in Coogan's Bluff.

Great movie. Mid 1970s, I do believe.

Or maybe Steve McQueen in The Great Escape.

Hey Mud,
Thanks for the response. (Dangit - I left the "i" out of movie )I do remember "The Wild One" but I'm gonna need to check out Coogan's Bluff. I'm a big Clint Eastwood fan.

 

Coogan's Bluff is a real sleeper.

Eastwood is lookin for the bad guy in Central Park.

Bad guy, Don Stroud, hauls *** by on a trumpet.

Innocent bystander rides along on another triumph.

Eastwood knocks this guy off of his machine, saddles up,
needlepoint cowboy boots and all, and the chase is on.
They're ridin up stairways in Central Park New York City, etc etc.

Ge reat movie, start to finish. If you're from the 50s 60s.

The Speed channel shows these movies at least once a month.. "The Wild Angels" was on last Saturday. A lot of the actors in this movie must be in their 70's now. One of the blond hotties, Bruce Derns girl friend I saw in a "Steven King" made for TV serieshad to be in her late 60's. Boy time goes by fast when your having fun..

One of the one's I liked best was Chopper Chix From Zombie Town ! I laughed until I cried!!!LOL!! Why is it so hard to find good B rated movies anymore?

man im glad no one said easy rider though the bikes were cool i found the movie kinda strange

 

I'll go one more and say the movie sucked. The bikes are cool. Looking at the poster is better than watching the movie.

 

I've always been partial to Stone cold and HArley Dvidson and the Marlboro Man. But I'm not quite yet 30 so I'm not to familiar with some ofthe others your talking about
