+1, that was a fun movie. I loved watching him cast pistons using drain pipes or some such as raw material.

And he used lead from old batteries to make ballast weights.  Guy was unbelievable.

Brittown not an old movie but its a good view, also there is another one that these guys did which was called Europe One World Tour.

I just watched the documentary about Joey Dunlop and his family called ROAD.  It's at the top of my list along with Freddie Spencer Explains Road Racing

Really enjoyed the film 21 Days Under the Sky. Great cinematography, neat choppers. I would recommend it

Not exactly a movie, but I just saw an episode of Law and Order, where the victim (one always dies to start the episode off) crashed his motorcycle and was pitched off onto a metal picket fence. The female detective, the redhead with the freckles, said," Hmm, a 1970 Honda CB750, restored and in great shape. Owner must have been an enthusiast, mechanic, or a rich collector."

Turns out the bad guy had used an eye dropper to suck out most of the battery acid (leaving enough to let it start)  and squirt it into the oil tank, causing the engine to seize after running a bit down the road, and pitch him off.

Beginning and end of Lawrence of Arabia? Not a bad way to make your exit, for some of us.


[The middle of LoA is not too shabby either!]

Satan’s Sadists was a pretty alright 70’s biker flick. It was definitely a B-movie! Released by Troma. Or some of those movies that is worth it because of the good one liners here and there. It’s actually got Russ Tamblyn who later played Dr. Jacoby in Twin Peaks.

I don’t think I saw it mentioned so far but I will submit a movie called ‘The Italian Machine’ from 1976 directed by David Cronenberg. It’s a short about a Ducati 900ss. There are some great long shots of a motorcycle dealership in Toronto called Cycleworld. The showroom is full of Honda’s from 75. Definitely worth the time to watch. You might have to look for it though, I see it listed on some sites, some dubbed.
