Let us stop all this 'bike on bike' hate! 2 wheels (regardless of appearance)over 4! Here's a trailer for the latest 'I, superbiker' film/documentary on the British Superbike season of 2011. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv7kKLQ0KvA

About those stadium MXers, I always wondered how much they shift. poo poo happens so fast you don't have time to see/hear them do it. So I always wonder if they do.

Thanks for taking the time to mask his identity, and for caring more about his reputation than he does at the moment. Proposed new rule/gentleman's agreement: have fun with your candid camera and someone else's unfortunate choices, but take a sec to blur/pixellate the plates or avoid angles that include them. A reasonable person would conclude that this ill-informed crypto-pagan speed metal jive is a passing phase. Alas, the world is not full of reasonable people. And only about 2% have Gnaghi's comedic gift...

However, most the time I think he's just messing around. Don't ask to see his gang-jacket though.

I don't have a problem with a well-executed bobber, but that thing's just a rolling affliction shirt, sorry. Didn't realize you were from Seattle, Socratse. Weather's still kinda poo poo for a decent ride, but send me a pm if you're planning a ride.

To some degree it's courtesy, as it in theory adds deniability for the owner if they were doing something illegal and/or dumb like speeding, illegally parked or stopped at a shake joint while married

Hrm, yeah I could see doing it for someone else, normally I don't take the time to blur out my own plates though. Mostly I only do it for others because everyone is all "BLUR THOSE PLATES OUT YO" Picture!

You can pay for access to the license plate records. 5 minutes of googling tells me that there are a lot of scams, but you can work through a state licensed PI. The fear is that thieves will find a nice car online, look up the address, and steal it. It's a reasonable fear if you have a Ferrari, less reasonable when it's a spray painted UJM.

Gullous posted:You can pay for access to the license plate records. 5 minutes of googling tells me that there are a lot of scams, but you can work through a state licensed PI. Right, if it's your own bike and you've weighed the risk and decided it's not an issue, so be it. Why not err on the side of caution when it comes to someone else? What if this guy was dumb enough to take the religious imagery one step over the line and insult the wrong group? I caught myself doing this about a year ago when I snapped pics of some gorgeous vintage Triumphs in front of a local Brit repair shop. I had fully intended to blab it up in this thread, but thought--waitaminnit, what if this were my bike, out of my possession, and some putz had just given its coordinates to the world? Would I not want to put his head in a vise? Can any insurance check replace a bike that took an adult life to restore, regardless of its origin or street value?

IMO, The Wild One spawned a lot of iconic movie stills, but it is absolutely unwatchable as a film. I can't even imagine it being meaningful to people of that era. It is sort of unintentionally funny--simulated riding against a projected backdrop, corny dialogue, implausible everything... Since we were on the topic of UJM surgery. I'm crying on the inside and thinking of ways to put this out of its misery. A CIA Hellfire missile maybe?  http://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/mcy/2870577228.html

It's a really corny movie, what gets me is it's pre-rock and roll. The bad rear end bikers listen jazz music, man... I've been watching a lot of 60's biker films lately, and the thing that strikes me is that they're almost all the same story as The Wild One. Squares get hassled by some "craaazy" bikers who are eventually defeated/killed in the end. What I do like about them is their low budgets belie the stylized version we see in the Sons of Anarchy. That show is such a homogenized version of being a biker, it's complete wish fulfillment for the worst Harley stereotypes.

Ran too wide on the corner the non-screwed bike is and ran the dirt, then back on the road? Also, that Chooter is kinda cool in a sad, I'd never be seen on it dead kind of way. (But I'd still like to ride it in secret)

I watched Easy Riders once and couldn't stand it. "They're gonna make it." No they are not going to make it they're a bunch of dumb hippies trying to farm in the loving desert for fucks sake. The only biker movie that I actually liked watching was a little known movie from Hong Kong called Full Throttle.

No they are not going to make it they're a bunch of dumb hippies trying to farm in the loving desert for fucks sake. Any scene featuring performance artists is bound to be painful. I think what sets it apart and why we're still talking about it 40+ years later is the soundtrack. It was one of the first that I can recall where they bothered to assemble contemporary rock music, some of it specifically for the film (apologies to Elvis for not counting Clambake.) It's not that the film doesn't have other redeeming qualities, but if they went with some generic approximation of hippie music like so many other movies of the era (see: any early Clint Eastwood film), I think it would have been largely forgotten.
