My Dad took the family to see On Any Sunday when it first came out in 1971. I was 11 years old. The next day there was a Penton 125 dirtbike in the driveway when I got home from school. That's how it started for real for me, not counting the Honda Trail 70, the Tote Goat or the Yamaha Mini-Enduro. I also thought Easy Rider was pretty cool...

But I'm THIS is the most bad-ass motorcycle video I have ever personally seen, from the Isle of Mann TT:

It's 8 minutes, and I guarantee it will keep your attention engaged.

Jeb Corliss doesn't cut it any closer to the edge than these guys do. Or go as fast.

So, anybody else got a favorite motorcycle vid they'd like to share?

Youtube has millions of clips of guys doing 300k's down an autobahn but these blokes are crazy.

I find that when watching clips like that, I lean with them to help them through the corners :-)

I wish there were a road in that shape, with that little traffic, and no cops or cameras around here.

The best motorcycle movie I've seen is an Australian made flick called "Stone".  I have it on VHS tape, but I don't know if it ever was released in US or Europe.

Hey, Arnie - You mean Sandy Harbutt's 1974 Australian cult film about a bunch of renegades riding Kawasaki 900s?
(Back in '74, the Kaw 900 was the Hayabusa of its day.)

Australia made some great movies back then. I remember seeing the movie "Walkabout" when it first came out. as 12 year old kid, I was pretty impressed by the oasis scene. Big time double bonzer, Mate!

You would've been perving at Jenny Agutter with no clothes on I betcha. :good2:

Going to the Isle Of Mann to watch the TT in person is on my bucket list.

Here is a long video of the Pikes Peak motorcycle race.

That's the one.  I enjoyed the "outlaw" bikies not riding HDs.  And the strange compassionate cop. :-)

That first video was insane. The TT is such an insane race. Anyone know how long the course is?

The course length is 37.75 miles. I do believe the open class bikes run 3 laps. Not positive though.

That's a lot of turns to memorize.

 :good2: STONE  :good2: acting is crap but its a CLASSIC  :good2: :good2:

Yes correct 3 laps  :good2:
