Post Motorcycle Movie Recommendations Here!
 

I suggest this thread to post motorcycle related movies, shows, YouTube channels, or "shows." It can be one organized place to recommend, discuss, and learn what's out there for us to engage in.

The "Long Way" Series was discussed on another thread, and I've enjoyed watching it several times.

As the original poster on this thread, I recommend "Cycles South" a totally freaky hippie movie from the late 60's from some real adventure riders.

On any sunday

A couple of British programs done by Henry Cole I enjoy.

"World's Greatest Motorcycle Rides" - A little like the Long way series but done on a tighter budget.

"Shed And Buried" - 2 blokes go to another blokes shed, take a look around at there junk collection, buy something for a few quid, fix it up a bit then try and flog it for a few quid more. Sometimes a motorcycle sometimes a lawn mower, that sort of thing.

Quite entertaining in a low key way.

Available on travel channel in the uk or just google

One Week. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Week_(2008_film)

Good film.

Roadside Prophets.....an interesting one!

Long Way Round and Long Way Down - - - Really need to watch them in that order to better understand how it all happened. I've watched them on you tube and Vimeo.

The series website : http://longwayround.com/

Not a motorcycle movie but a great motorcycle scene that always amazes. Terminator II Judgement Day. Amazing how the stunt rider handles that big Harley in the motorcycle and semi truck chase sequence. I would love to even have a 1/4 of the skill those stunts took. Even just riding up and down on and off the curbs. I would lay it down for sure. I honestly don't even know how they did/do it.

"The Great Escape" McQueen on his.:)

Seer thats a fantastic scene ! Too many twerps think he was a "movie set" rider .... but the guy was down and dirty hard core. The only way Bullitt could have been better was if he'd used a bike in the chase ... man oh man!

"Faster" and "Fastest." Among the best documentaries made about sports period. The sport happens to be MotoGP in the age of Rossi.

Still looking for a chance to see "Hitting the Apex."

All great suggestions.

To which I add one of my favorite movies.

Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man.

Caution: One of the worst movies made. Finished off Don Johnson's carreer and nearly drove Micky Rourke to suicide. Seriously. For some reason though, I love the flick.

AT THE VERY LEAST watch the opening sequence. You'll love it.

Rats, the link was in Spanish. No worries skip to 1 minute mark and trust me.

have not watched the movie for years but i still remember how he takes the cap off the tank and gives the bike a shake you just know he rides

Would've thought this one would have been mentioned already.

I watched the CT90 Adventures based on a recommendation here, and that guy is NUTS. For anyone who wants a few laughs, the guys YouTube channel is worth a few minutes. I even watched the one with Hitler (asshole) in it, and while I, and my ancestors are not fans by any means, it was really pretty funny, as it is a GS bashing video.
His girlfriend also had a TAT thread on ADVRider that is fantastic

That guy has some amazing trailside fabrication/maintenance skills.

ok, was expecting it to be the first...
"On Any Sunday" :)

edit ok my bad bruce put it up second :)

I left everyone an opening and nobody has taken it yet so I will post another .On any Sunday 2 is another good movie .

Kind of sappy but moto crossed is another that some of you might enjoy

Legacy of motocross

Been trying to find a great video (or group of videos) I watched a while back with 2 guys, a gal, and 2 KLR 650s traveling across South America... they get stopped/stranded a few times at boarder crossings and have to 'get home' by combining their wits, 2 KLR 650s and an old Boat they found (with no motor/owner)... they make it past a good ways but last video I seen they posted ended with them saying "Will we ever make it back home"?

That's about all I can remember... it's a funny/great watch and if anyone finds the videos can you please post them up for me... I have been looking but can't seem to find them anywhere (I thought I had them bookmarked... but I don't >:()

MotoSyberia - It is a great adventure store of 3 guys going across Asia. It's funny too.

Tim Allen, Wild Hogs...funny https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRAJblggAHY

I haven't seen Greasy Hands Preachers yet, but I intend to.

Watched it. They are pretty funny. Seemed like they copied Ewan and Charlies route. It also seemed like they broke down every day.

Motoventuring is a great one, two girls take a year to ride from Alaska to South America on two DRZ 400's they break down alot and repair on the road or wherever. 86 episodes so far.

Caution some episodes contain nudity watch at your own risk.

I'm with Doc. The movie kinda sucked but the intro to Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man could be one of the best intros of all time. The rattly air cleaner when he first fires it up beings back some warm fuzzies.

Not really a 'movie' but a crazy tall 'Canadian Vlogger' I watch, 6Foot4Honda, put up a great video about a month back... if only I could do this to everyone I see littering >:(

I watched this one weekend when it was pouring buckets and couldn't ride. Great movie they just desided one day to quit their jobs and take a 12,000 mile trip 1400 mi of it on the TAT (Trans-America Trail) on a Tiger 800XC and a CBR600RR with no support vehicle.

Amanda Polard
“I just need adventure. I’m a restless soul. There is a whole big World waiting for me to explore and I was stuck inside; watching it go by.”

Age: 27
Height: 5’2”
Weight: 110 lbs
Years Riding: 14 years dirt, 4 years street
Hometown: “I’m a wanderer; looking for the place that feels like Home.”
Motorcycle” 2009 Honda CBR600RR

Amanda began riding at the age of 14. Her father and brother both ride and she developed her love for engines and all things motorcycle early. From the first ride Amanda knew that she had found her true passion and one freedom in this World. She started on a 1999 Honda XR80r doing mainly trail riding in the forests of Virginia, followed by lots of single track riding in the deserts of Nevada. She then bought a KX100 to get the feel for a 2 stroke engine.

In 2009 Amanda was ready for her first street bike, and after drooling over the Honda CBR929 for years she decided on a CBR600rr. Amanda in her petite size and stature was and is always determined to prove her ability to her male counterparts. “Just because I’m small; people underestimate me. It makes me all that more determined to show them I can ride.”

Zach Settewongse
“People always seemed shocked that I’m going to drop everything and hit the road for several months. I’ve just arrived at a point in my life where I’m tired of saying “One day I’m going to do it”. I woke up and said to myself “Today is the day”. You never know how long your time here will be. This is just one in many adventures I have on my bucket list. I plan to live like every day is my last and not waste a moment. I plan to accomplish all that I can dream of. ”

Zach Settewongse is a restless, eccentric artist who does things his own way and believes anything is achievable. He is a man who lives in a warehouse intentionally so he can have his motorcycle in the same room as his 1000 watt theater system and big screen TV.

Career – “We really think you have a gift for the arts. We would like you to attended the Art Center College of Design.” That is what his parents said years ago and because they said it Zach decided to become a police officer instead. Of course that didn’t last long. “Every call I arrived on people were always mad and hated the cops. It was truly depressing.” Earlier Zach had started a web design company while in college and continued to grow the company and transformed it into a successful telecommunications company. However even with success in business he was bored and hated work. “My company had transformed into strictly a telecommunications company, and I was making good money at it, but there was no creative outlet for me. I needed to be creative; I needed a change.”
