A Fantastic True Adventure Motorcycle Film
(filmed in seven countries from Denver to Panama on bikes)

This movie was made in the late 60's. It's one of the most entertaining motorcycle flicks we've come across, ever. These three motorcycle com padres blaze a trail through seven countries from Denver, Colorado to the Panama Canal on bikes. They take a ride through the mountains, check out a local motocross, stay at a Hippy commune a few days, meet some mighty friendly gals and get all weird. They snow ski and meet some ski bunnies, in fact there are friendly gals just about around every corner. In Mexico they fight bulls & enter a local dirt bike race, deep sea dive, surf, water ski behind their bikes along the shoreline, camp on the beach and have good eatin'. Finally they make it to Panama and meet more gals. What a blast.

It's a little goofy and corn ball with a new thrill around each turn. Cycles South is a must see and a great edition for your collection. Believe me it will have you cracking up.

I saw this movie a couple of months ago.  Not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.  Kind of a Easyriders minus the drugs and rednecks.  They start off riding Brit bikes and end up with Japanese dirt bikes.  I enjoyed it. ;D

It's available via Netflix streaming.
I'm watching it now. 
It's brilliant!
These guys are are so comically inept.

So far they've ridden from Colorado to Arizona on one tank of gas...
Oh wait, hippie chicks and free love!
Hilarious!  ;D

 Yes, that was  fun too watch, those guys were funny as hell. Riding on the train tracks was a hoot, though I can't imagine trying that with my 750!
