Topic: Knight Rider - A Good Day at White Rock (and CB's in other films)

[Raul CB750K1]

I'm home in front of the computer while my 3-year old daughter listen to tales at the stereo and switch channels in the mute TV. A german channel called Das Vierte is playing Knight Rider. There is a biker gang that terrorizes a small town. When I look closely I realize the bikes are all seventies bikes, mostly japanese. There is even a CB750 with four pipes, and a Moto Guzzi ambassador. Funny thing I saw those episodes twenty years ago, when I couldn't care less about bikes.

Tried to know the episode title but the teletext is full of junk symbols because of the satellite connection and the poor signal level. No problem, found the channel webpage and found the program name. Is in german, but it explains the plot: the place is called white rock and the girl is called Sherry. Google for "Knight Rider White Rock" and find the "Knight Rider" wikipedia entry with a list of all the episodes. The title is "A good day at White rock, premiered 1982". Did an emule search, and it's now downloading in my PC.....

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who does stuff like that...

We should start a gallery of SOHC4's in cinema!!  No, really! 

I know there's one in one of the terminator movies, can't remeber where else I've seen them   Maybe, it was the early James bond flick Thunderball?  No, I think thats a twin... I'd love to see a list of motorcycles in movies (infact I think there is a site out there somewhere that has just that.... thanks for the still!

I saw a CB750 in a porn flick.  It was something about bikes n' dikes.

It's amazing that I didn't notice that!  I guess I was just stunned at the inanity of the domed sidecar

Did some internet search. "Pretre a marier" was the french translation to "Il prete sposato", an italian comedy film from 1970. The second one is "Roma", from Federico Fellini.
