Why I didn't like the movie Wild Hogs
I'll tell you why...the only bike that was wrecked (several times) was the Sportster. I began to think the director had something againstSportsters becausethe only other bike that was wrecked was a Fatboy and you had to assume it was wrecked because they didn't show it actually crashing.The Fatboywas mysteriously "OK" 10 minutes later. I cringed when the poor Sporty was launched over a curb doing endo's. The other sad point was the Sportster was always last in the pack, the bike was stolen and the owners character was portrayed as a wimp.
The only upside toall this Sportster bashing, it was thebest looking bike and a good looking Sportster at that.
Hollywood sucks!

I HATED that movie. Not because of the Sporty factor, it was just too unrealistic. I know it was a comedy, but you've gotta have some believeability for comedy to be funny. If not, it just becomes silly. I think that movie was silly, and a total waste of time and $$$

Dude, it was a movie... it was meant to make people laugh and it sure seemed to do just that in the theatres.
In some ways it made a mockery of bikers. I have heard many people profess these opinions. And in many waysI do agree. I have seen many R.U.B.s out there who fit the same bill as William H. Macy's part as well as any other of the characters.
But....
WhenI went to see it I wasn't expecting to see a hard core biker movie. I wasn't looking for a remake of Beyond The Law, Stone Cold, or even Easy Rider. I expected to go and laugh mya$$ off which is what I did.
Ya gotta take a joke once in awhile. I am sure it wasn't anything against any sportster owners.

The movie the "Waterboy" kinda stuck in my craw. It portrayed everyone in Louisiana as a bunch of ignorant retards. We all have donkeys in our house,...eat alligators(whole,..not cleaned),....have sex with kinfolk,..................,.....well o.k.,.....some of that might be true,.....but..............................

Yeah I thought that movie was pretty funny, with William H. Macy playing the funniest role. Like they're going to wreck a Screaming Eagle Fat Boy,it's much cheaper to use a sporty for that.
