Title: Evel & Smokey
Post by MnSpring on 06/29/18 at 07:45:23

Was sent, this, and re-watched
Although ‘campy’, still funny.

If you haven't seen it yet, perhaps ?

The best, “the Evel Knievell”, person.
Right next to, ’Smokey the Bear”.

And the best line, (with a mouth full of $hit)
“I’m gonna Get Those Guys”

I've been meaning to watch this one, but keep forgetting. Well, it is Friday, maybe this'll be My beer and popcorn event for the evening.

"Running cool" is another biker flick on Youtube that's got a few good chuckles in it, and is fairly easy-going.
"Stone cold" is another good one on YT, but that one's more of your typical old-school action flick.

Although I haven't watched it yet (saving it for Halloween), I've got a copy of a movie called "I bought a vampire motorcycle". That should be a hoot.

You forgot the real classic, Vicious Cycles.

Anyone else remember Little Fauss and Big Halsey?
It's a Robert Redford flick I remember from years ago. Dirt bike racing, I think.

My God, that was magnificent, beginning to end.

Also reminded Me there's another biker cheese flick I've been meaning to watch: chopper chicks in zombietown.
...My taste in cinema would be considered "questionable" by most.

You remember correctly, I have it here somewhere. Have you seen "On Any Sunday" or "Worlds Fastest Indian"? Both of those are good.

Search on Youtube for one called "Stop, Look, and Listen". It was made by the same people but parodies hotrods instead of bikes.

Oh hell yeah! On Any Sunday was fantastic! I grew up in San Diego in the 70's so dirt bike riding was second only to surfing. We were actually in the East County of San Diego; Lakeside. Dirt bikes everywhere and the desert just a bit due East.

Tocsik,

Did you go to El Capitan High School by any chance?

As a matter of fact I did! Class of '82.

You guys watching Travis Pastrana going for 3 of Evel's jumps tonight?
It's on the History channel.

His Indian 750 has a badass paint job. Absolutely beautiful.
