    well its good you can access it.   They were looking for people outside the USA to get it screened, i contacted them , told them i had access to large groups of motorcycle riders, and access to a cinema group, and never heard a thing back. I still havent seen it.

    Well just watched " Why We Ride " ... being hopeless with computers I couldn`t work out how to down load it so ended up watching it for free off some site I stumbled across ... got to say it comes a extremely close second to " On Any Sunday " for me ... and believe me that is high marks coming from me , as " On Any Sunday " would probably be my all time most favourite movie / Doco .

    Yes it has the Good Old USA take on it but hey why not , one of their own made it ... any who watched it so far , what hit ya the most ... the kids ... the girls getting into bikes as well as some of the older ladies still into it all these years latter ... the history , although brief it puts across ... or if like me the guy with both legs cut off ... { Sorry should have remembered his name considering just watching it ... was it Dave Barr } ... but I remember when he came here to Australia as part of his around the world trip ... Man that guys passion was incredible .

    Well as old Molly would say ... do yourself a favour ... if like me , hopeless with computers , watch it for free ... other wise download it and enjoy ... and don`t worry I will DEFINITLY be buying it if it ever makes our shores .

    Cheers all , Safe and Happy riding ... Tim .

    Watched it over the weekend. Good but not brilliant. Definitely worth a look though. They coulda made it half the length if they didn't show just about every fucking ride clip in slo mo. I mean it looks good and all, but they did the slo mo to death. Loved the high speed runs at Bonneville. Spectacular stuff.

    I watched it last week, it was good but not great. Had a laugh when they talked about the first time on a bike. I was the same. At a friends farm on a postie bike. I twisted the throtle expecting it to just rev, not realising it would engage in gear and took off straight into the side of a house!!

    After watching this I felt compelled to rewatch "On any Sunday" which I haven't seen for years. Dated but still an awesome film, well worth revisiting or watching for the first time if you haven't seen it.

    Just finished watching it on You Tube and I absolutly loved it.  Makes me want to go out and buy a racer and a dirt bike to go with my Harley.  They are right there is nothing better than rideing  a bike, any bike!!!!!

    Thanks for posting the link Youngblood, I was surprised to note that I share the same surname as the writer/ co Director.  It was a great film.
