For many of us riding in the depths of winter isn't particularly pleasant, but watching biker movies is an alternative that helps to feed the obsession!! I am curious about which ones other people watch, so what is your favourite?
-
There is a thread on this somewhere in the depths of the forum, there is a plethora of Youtubers out there too, so for an old fashioned film I suggest Stone, Youtube reviews Marlon in five years he's punched out the grand total of 7 videos although worth a watch if you havn't seen them, then have a hunt for a chap called Loz Blain maybe stick motorcycle review in your search terms if you want some Guzzi content Lamb Chop Rides is pretty good IMO.

If you have Amazon Prime they have a surprising amount of motorcycle related films.

Thanks.

Mad Max. The original. Argue all you want about how it's not a motorcycle movie, I'm sticking to it.

That was the only good Max movie. Lots of wild kawasakis, crazy right-side-drive kars and people talking in funny accents.
Not a bad choice considering all the awful motorcycle movies.
Where were the killer birds? :whip2:

The Electric Horseman had Moto Guzzi Cop bikes in it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079100/
I mostly watch youtube channels because I just can't sit around for 90 - 120 minutes watching a movie.

Long way round and long way down are good! In long way down they actually tour the guzzi factory. Also "on any Sunday " brings a smile to my face!

"Born Loosers" introduction of Billy Jack, played by Tom Laughlin and The Wild One, the original biker movie, staring Marlo Brando the original rebel, not Dean, in my opinion.

I would argue it's not a motorcycle movie, there are a couple of motorcycles in it but they are an aside.

Agreed. But as a snapshot of the general perspective on the 'Biker' persona of the period, it is reasonably accurate.
Hopper fits that image better than Fonda IMHO.

Which always seemed strange , because Fonda was s lifetime rider , Hopper barely rode , even in the movie . Actors acting .

Uhhh, correct me if I'm wrong, but if they weren't acting then wouldn't the story line get hard to follow??
Or would every movie be like Seinfield??? Orrrrrrr, all documentaries?? I'm perplexed.......... .

Yeah ,like you weren't already perplexed :rolleyes:
The point is that Hopper was a decent enough actor to convince everyone he was a motorbiker . When the Art of the Motorcycle was in NYC Hopper took some riding lessons so he could ride with a group of actors to the museum . Memory says he may have crashed .

Not a movie, a series: The Motorbike Show with Henry Cole
https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/tv-shows-and-video-channels/ (https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/tv-shows-and-video-channels/)
Henry Cole is one of those slightly eccentric, yet charming Brits who just happens to be mad about motorcycles. His show appears weekly on mainstream TV in the UK, however, in the USA, he is relatively unknown.
The Motorbike Show has Henry and friends restoring, showing, buying, and riding motorcycles of all ages and description—all presented in an engaging and humorous style.
also available on youtube
sometimes lightweight, still enjoyable. The enthusiasm is infectious. Bonus!! Bike rebuilds contain no rattle-can black paint jobs, bobbed fenders or pipe wrap! Yay!

He didn't crash, the guy in the pick up shot him.
That movie's been around since 1969, maybe you should watch it when you get a chance :rolleyes:

I was referring to an incident circa 2004 , not from the movie . A small group of celebrities were going to the Guggenheim exhibit , for some reason the name Lauren Hutton keeps popping into my head . Anyway , seem to remember Hopper had a get off . .

Here's a few independent bike themed films I have got in on the "kick start" financing. Low budget, niche films.
"Girl Meets Bike." (Guzzi content) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkrexqIKmMs Made by film students in Minnesota.
"Best Bar in America" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qf3hWk9pzI Indy film company in Montana
"Sit Stay Ride: The Story of America's Sidecar Dogs" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyLw7iYVlo8

Ok, no one else bit, what is the best motorcycle movie if this is the second best?????

If you like vintage motorcycle racing, Isle of Man TT 1935, try to find "No Limit", with George Formby. I have a copy, but I was surprised to see it on TCM last month. Also, "Twice Upon a Caravan", the around the world story of Robert Fulton, Jr on a Douglas around 1932. Lastly, "The Pace that Thrills" from 1952, scrambles, TT, hillclimbs and the Wall of Death, with Bill Williams, Robert Armstrong and John Hamilton.

Anyone remember movie Vanishing Point, 1970, on particular the chick on the red and white Honda CB350🤪

A bit of both probably , seems the 3 guys were friends , and some of it was spontaneous , but parts of it were certainly scripted and maybe even rehearsed . It is just a fun , slightly silly romp .

One of my favorite movies with a bike in it is 'Gumball Rally'. Thought for sure it would have been mentioned by now. For some reason it sticks in my head that it was a Kwak H-1 or H-2, but it's been decades since I saw that movie. Still makes me chuckle when I think about parts of it, tho'.... ;^)
