Travel Documentaries/Films?
« on: April 20, 2009, 10:39:11 AM »
Does anyone know of any cool documentaries or movies about motorcycle travel? I've watched "Motorcycle Diaries" countless times, but I'd like to see some documentary films (or other movies). I am planning a trip soon and the closer I get the more hungry I get for the experience. Thanks, y'all.

"Riding Solo to the Top of the World"

Great movie about an East Indian riding a 350 through the worlds highest roads.
Very good.
