A motorcycling movie that is worth a gently caress. Seriously. Finally. I once wrote here that in order to bike through Canada, you have to accept Tim Horton as your personal savior. I'll be damned if someone didn't go write a screenplay around it. WHERE IS MY ROYALTY CHECK, YOU BASTARDS? It is well written, well shot, well acted, intelligent and realistic. It glorifies nothing and tries to sell you nothing. It gets the lovely motels right. It gets the absurdity right. It gets the newb biker right without degenerating into slapstick. It only occasionally requires a suspension of disbelief vis a vis riding and wrenching. Positively Goonesque. Available on Netflix--forget the trailer, it'll spoil it for you.

Canadian here, and 100% agree. Very well done movie, with a kick-rear end Norton to boot. Definitely recommended.

I went in blind. Loved it. And I didn't even have a bike yet. Great movie.

Taking self-bets: poignant piano or quirky indie soundtrack? Fake edit: Watched trailer, the latter.

OK, so this is on ebay and it's been bugging the hell out of me, because the CB500T came in Brown, Brown, Brown, Brown, and sometimes Red. Also, the lighting and switchology are different.  Solved. London Ambulance Service. How the one above wound up in Kansas City is anyone's guess.

Not to turn this into the pics of my bike thread but I installed a new tail tidy today, not sure if I dig the looks yet but it's pretty neat. Same one was used on the Ducati in the new tron movie.

Consider the Jacwal Superwedge; The Vetter Alcan; The Pacifico Aero XP; The Pantera Laser; something that merits capital punishment for crimes against motorcycles in general and Sportsters in particular; and a fairing that isn't bad but I think this guy is the leader of the Cobra Kai dojo from Karate Kid.
