Is this movie any good?  Seeing it around F/S.
Also in magnum force when the pimp is driving across the bridge it looks like a sohc4 passes him.

My sister got the book for me, haven't read it yet. I haven't seen the movie either even though I heard much buzz about it.
I haven't even noticed the SOHC4 in Magnum Force. I have that video somewhere so I'll check it out. There was a cool 1971 CB750 K1 (with dual disks) and CB500 shown in the movie "Stone Killer" by Charles Bronsen during the same era.

You only see it for a sec.   Could be a kawi a suppose.

I just saw that movie. It's a brown colored 1972 Honda CB500K1, with a first generation Vetter Windjammer in black with gold trim stripes and Triple-A luggage rack. The bike could be the 1973 CB500K2 which had a different shade of brown color but the movie was made in 1972 so if it was the K2 model, it would had to be brand new, but most guys don't put heavy accessories on a new bike until months after they first get it. It took nearly a year after I got my Kawasaki KZ900 before I put windshield, crashbar and luggage rack.

I think we both need a life.    Watching a movie for 2 secs of a sohc4.   Did like the guzzi P/B in it too.

I agree. I just started this forum just two months ago and I'm already addicted. Good thing I haven't checked out the porn site yet.

I liked that Moto Guzzi 750 Police bike. I have the same model but mine is a LAPD model, not SFPD. It needs full restoration since friend of mine who was keeping it for me accidently dented the tank and cracked some of the cylinder fins.

There's an SOHC port site?  Where do I sign up!?

There use to be a site with nikid women on bikes but it had evolved into just nikid woman.
Not that theres anything wrong with that or that I look.

Personally, I liked those bikini-clad models posing next to a new motorcycles during the early 1970s. Cycle magazines did many of them and they were among my favorites. Of course I read them for their excellent technical sections.

Do you remember the pretty blond girl "Miss Buco" wearing that chrome helmet? What was her real name? I had two big posters of her that covered my room wall during my high school days. I included a little photo of her in my Angels 750 comic book series too.

There should be one, though I prefer pretty girls in bikinis posing next to the SOHC bikes.

Very good. There is a fair amount of time at the start where we see Che and his friend tootling around south America on an old Norton single. Apparently the real McCoy was more reliable than the Norton/Japanese hybrid that they used for the 'get-off' scenes.

The end of the film is a bit cerebral, where we see how Che's thoughts were shaped by the poverty and illness he saw.

Plus it's pretty hilarious/heartbreaking watching two guys trying to go cross-country, all loaded down, on that tiny bike. Like dumb and dumber but all serious..

That's a great analogy.
