Our bikes are the coolest!
« on: July 09, 2020, 04:10:44 AM »
I was watching the second episode of season two of the Amazon series “ Hanna” and as one of the main characters begins to turn a corner, I hear a distinct sweet rumble of a bike we all love before I see it, waiting to give her a ride is a guy on a pristine CB 750 four!
        Why would the film makers choose that bike over the typical Triumph or BMW you always see in films? Because our bikes are just bad ass, that’s why! I know it’s silly to be excited to see our bikes being represented, I’ going to go out to my garage and show Pandora this photo of her sister :)

I've said before, I think the honda fours are some of the best visual , iconic, designed bikes ever. Even compared to todays. ( the Kawasaki 900 Z1 is a beautiful bike also). I feel they stand the test of time.

You are correct, our bikes are timeless now and most likely there will never be another bike quite like it

Agreed.......just wish I could get this thing to run, so I can enjoy it.
If it ain't raining, I'm riding.....~~{iii}?~~prost

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

 Is the rider a good guy or a bad guy ? Kind of a menacing looking outfit and helmet.

      Definitely have to agree that the introduction of the Honda CB750K0, was one of the most impressive motorcycles, that I
      have seen introduced. There have been a few others, after the CB750K0. but the 750, really broke ground and set alot of
      folks back and definitely got their attention. I also feel that the Super Hawk carved it's place in motorcycle history, as it took
      on some of the larger British motorcycles and made them wake up and pay attention.  And the CB450K0 "Black Bomber", had
      alot of technology in it as well. I know there are others, but that is just a part of my own feelings, as I was practically "Born
      0n a motorcycle.

I cut my teeth on a 70 cl 100.....then spent 5 years on a Cb 450,which I thought was the tops.......until I bought my first, brand new 76 550F........that's when I learned what the fuss was all about.....

. He was a good guy I guess, he gave one of the lead actors a ride to her destination :)

I'm surprised they didn't alter the sound track to make the bike sound like a Harley.  They've done that on a few occasions, and not just to the Honda's.  I think I remember the Arnold riding a CB and it sounded like a Harley.  Blasphemy, I tell ya!

Remember Then came Bronson? There was an episode where he entered a hill climb, and they dubbed Harley sounds when the bike was actually a barely disguised Maico 2-stroke. ;D
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

If you're trying to profile a rider based on their attire.  You're in for a real doozy when ya meet me!
