Well watched it with the wife last night. A little slow moving but not bad. I liked the part where they were talking about everyone customizing their bikes to make them their own, and the wife blurts out "like having 4 exhausts" hahaha..
I recommend Worlds Fastest Indian, wife and I watched years back because Anthony Hopkins was in it. Bert Munrow was a real guy, and after watching the movie Hot Rod magazine had an article about Bert and the records he set, that stood for a long time.
My gal always gets a kick out of the elderly lady saying in 5 years women would out number men riding because women are tougher.
I enjoy it because it talks about all aspects of riding. Racing, cruising, rallies, adventure, dirt bikes and vintage. Love hearing the kids point of view.
I also love the slow motion action of the race bikes. Those guys are definitely on the edge.
21 Days Under the Sky is another good one.

I'll have to give this film a watch. I haven't seen it before. This got me thinking about the film, "On Any Sunday", came out in 1971 and all of us little pre-teen dirt bike rats went to see it multiple times.
Just started it, I haven't seen it either. I have a feeling many of the Gen X bikers were inspired by McQueen and On Any Sunday.
The old man was a biker and he took me everywhere as long as I followed the 'don't tell your mother' rule.
Why do I ride? I'd often wondered that over the years. What was it that got me interested in motorcycles? Then one day several years ago it hit me. I was standing at a bike event, warm sun on my face, cold beer in my hand, a whiskey flask in my pocket when clear as a bell I heard a voice from the heavens say, "OK, gather around the stage. The wet T-shirt contest will start in 10 minutes!"
YUP...I start my three therapy machines in the garage every few days to get the sound and smell going. Shortly followed by my wife telling me the fumes are stinking up the house. Guess I'll have to close...getting a new wife is not an option. 2012 CVO Road Glide Skunk 2016 Ducati Multistrada S 2016 BMW K1300M
