Re: [ST] motorcycle movies

["STeve Duncan" <xhippy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, of course the finest "MOTORCYCLE" movie ever made was "On Any Sunday" 
with the great Malcolm Smith.  Mostly off-road riding but truly remarkable 
footage with Malcolm, Steve McQueen and other assorted legends.  "On Any 
Sunday II" was a sequel of sorts but without Malcolm.

Now the greatest "BIKER" movie ever made was "Easy Rider".  Not so much a 
motorcycle movie, but the scenes riding through New Mexico are gorgeous. 
This flick about dropping out & searching for the real America had a big 
impact on me in 1969 when I was 14 and just got my motorcycle liscense.  
Despite the way-overuse of the word "Man", Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda & Jack 
Nickolson really capture the spirit of the time (late 60's).  Not a movie 
for the squeamish.

Other notables on my list include;

Electra Glide in Blue, with the currently infamous Robert Blake as a 
disillusioned motorcycle cop.

Time Rider, a movie about a desert rider who goes back in time to the old 
west!  I believe this video is available thru the Aerostitch, Riderwearhouse 
catalog of all places.
