I'm gonna take the redhead to see it during the Super Bowl as neither of us give a tick about the game.

 

 

So far, it's getting slammed in the reviews as schmaltzy and sentimental. Wouldn't it be just GREAT if I were the one rolling my eyes back into my head while the super-sensitive, uber-liberal woman got into it? Perish the thought...

 

 

It opens today in ATL...

that's a great WEB site not scooter scura! Truth is... I've only read about the movie and seen clips myself. Plan on going tomorrow in Jackson! But I already know it'll be an esoteric hit.

Um... no slams that I've seen. In fact, the only comparison to your "schmaltzy & sentimental" comment is that it's the first 100% universal motorcycle movie. You know, as in "Urinals are 50% universal. Everyone knows what they are, but we men, we gotta work'em!" In this case, you can expect to take a non-motorcyclist to see it & not hear any complaints [unlike a movie about, say, the 1986 Gran Prix season, which to non-motorcyclists & even many motorcyclists would be akin to being dragged back to their high school biology lecture "... & the cell undergoes meiosis blah blah..." ;-) ]

 

The only reviews I've seen about this have been very positive, to the tune of "if you ride a motorcycle, you absolutely, positively cannot miss this movie!"

 

Heck, I'm always up to see Sir Anthony Hopkins chewing on the scenery, even when he's forced to drag a 200# dumbell around on the set with him[1]...

Ride on!

Bloody awesome movie people....... well I can relate to it more so, than the most of you guys as Invercargill (Munro's home town) is 5hrs ride from here.

 

There is a lot of real kiwi humour in the movie, bloody funny as hell. Ya have to check it out if not cos a 62yr old Kiwi kicked US arse but the fact he built the bike up from a 1920's Scout.... modified it in his shed with very little tools, he made pistons from scratch and conrods from bulldozer tracks..... the bike was capable of 200+mph... my V11 can only scratch 230kph and Burt did this before I was born.

 

I had the privilege of seeing and hearing the replica bike (built to the same specs) drag race Aussies fastest Indian (a 4 valve head) man...... the sound brought tears to my eyes...... see the movie.

 

PS: I'll put some pics up tomorow when I'm at home, in the meantime you can view the bike here http://community.webshots.com/album/296325135CUQmiB
