Biker Boyz is on TV tonight, BBC 1 2355.  Anyone seen it? Is it worth recording?

Are there any good films with bikes in them?!?!?  :lol


 It's a load of shit, so turn the brain off... forget you actually ride a bike and enjoy it...  :rollin


I have it on DVD, and watch it along with Torque when I want a laugh.

ha ha I was going to post on this about 3 months ago when it was last on.  It was the biggest pile of film do do I've seen for a while.  Very very weak plot, some shocking footage of riding a bike and how fast they accelerate and more cheese than a supermarket cheese counter! Won't be watching again.

Bi gave it a miss as I only another 80% space on my 1TB recorder and thought I might need the space. I can honestly say The Fastest Indian was a superb film. I would recommend to anyone, even peeps who don't get bikes . Anthony Hopkins was at his best.

Think it was "On Any Sunday",  there is also a modern take of it in On Any Sunday The Next Chapter but don't know if that is any good.

Silver Dream Racer was IMHO, a load of crap. A badly made film that could have been good if done properly.


What about "Little Fauss and Big Halsey" (Michael J Pollard and Robert Redford).


On Any Sunday and The Worlds Fastest Indian are two of the best, definitely. But, Faster is also great (not the 2010 crap with Dwayne, The Rock, Johnson).


Then there's Close to the Edge - another awesome racing docu-movie.


And a +1 for The Great Escape.


Oh, and who could forget Cold as Ice - if only I could !!!!!

My point exactly Grahamm - mind you, most of the bike footage was poorly done as well :-(
