Title: Favorite motorcycle movies?
Post by ahusain on 11/12/14 at 09:48:01

Winter's coming...... What are your favorite motorcycle movies? I've been watching Long Way Round on netflix and thought I'd see what else is out there. I really liked The World's Fastest Indian too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bu9dGRQvJY

Once you finish Long Way Round, don't forget to watch Long Way Down which is their ride from the tip of Scotland to South Africa.

It's showing is age but On Any Sunday is good to show people when they ask "why do you ride?".  If you're a MotoGP fan, Faster and Fastest are both very good.

ON ANY SUNDAY was always a fun movie......it was made in the days that I was actively riding and racing in the dirt.

Malcolm Smith was just an incredible rider.

I liked Elvis Presley's "Roustabout". The racks on the rear of that 305 Superhawk were nice. He could strap his suitcase on one side and his guitar on the other. I need some like that on my Yamaha.

Looks like youtube may have the whole movie.

Psychomania- All time favorite! British film where The Living Dead Gang use satanic power to kill themselves to come back to life to cause more chaos than they did alive. All awesome beat up Triumphs and maybe a Norton mixed in, not sure.
The Glory Stompers
The Cycle Savages
Angels From Hell
Girl on a Motorcycle
Savage Seven (possibly influence on name of our bike, but probably not?)
The Peace Killers
Born Losers
Run Angel Run
Angel Unchained
Devil's Angels
Mini Skirt Mob
The Hard Ride
Chrome and Hot Leather
Wild Angel
Hell's Angels on Wheels
Werewolves on Wheels
Satan's Sadists
And most of the movies everyone else listed

There is more, but I can't think of them. And keep in mind, most of these are not by any means "good" movies, they mostly are terribly done B-movies, but I love them anyways for the bikes and the exploitative attempts of the time. If you like custom bikes, and 60-70's culture then they are a must.

A few of them are genuinely good movies though like anything Peter Fonda is in, and I love Bruce Dern.

Anything but Wild Hogs... lol. :o

great soundtrack, too. I used to blast it in my Hyundai sh*tbox wagon driving home at night. Far cry from a light cycle though.  ;D

Speaking of soundtracks, how about Purple Rain? Don't forget Prince's Honda .... http://www.feelnumb.com/2011/03/24/princes-purple-rain-motorcycle/

Title: Re: Favorite motorcycle movies?

Have soundtracks to both! 8-) IMHO the Ducati wins, hands down!

Actually owned a 81' Hondamatic. Got it for free, kept it in the back garage for about a year, never even sat on it, sold it for $350.
