Motorcycle Video Night

Alternating at the homes of riders. A social to watch the latest motorcycle video and enjoy snacks and refreshments. Viewing suggestions are listed below.

Terra Circa (2001): Five adventure motorcyclists.. with basic bikes.. ..and even more basic equipment... cross Europe: Greece and Turkey, Kazakhstan and Russia to become the first recorded motorcyclists ever to cross the grueling 'Zilov Gap, a 392 mile stretch of impassable tracks, trails, marshes and rivers where the road across Siberia literally runs out!

Wild Hogs (2007): Four middle-aged men decide to take a road trip from Cincinnati to the Pacific in order to get away from their lives which are leading them nowhere. Taking their motorcycles, these "Wild Hogs" tear up the road and eventually stop in New Mexico for a drink not knowing that the bar belongs to the "Del Fuegos", a mean biker gang. When the Del Fuegos steal a bike that belongs to the Wild Hogs, the four men form a plan to steal their bike back.

Mondo Enduro (1996): (7 motorcycles, 42,000 miles, 44 countries) Episode One: From Mill Hill to Lake Baikal. Seven motorcyclists calling themselves Mondo Enduro try to ride the longest land route round the
world, 40,000 miles, in the shortest possible time. Surviving incarceration in Turkey and the deserts of Central Asia, they run out of road at Lake Baikal. Can they make it through the swamps of Siberia or will they be forced to abandon their record-breaking attempt? Episode Two: From Zilov to Zeebrugge. Now down to only three, the round-the-world motorcyclists of Mondo Enduro travel the length of the Americas from Alaska to Chile. They fly to South Africa, where they are joined by a fourth intrepid traveler. After numerous mechanical breakdowns and a horrific accident in Ethiopia, the finish line draws near.

World's Fastest Indian (2006): Anthony Hopkins stars in the true story of Burt Munro a motorcycle enthusiast from New Zealand who designs and builds one of the fastest bikes in the world. The story includes his legendary 1967 performance at the famed raceway at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah where he set the land speed record. The life and triumph of Burt Munro the elderly Kiwi man who at the far from spritely age of 68 broke motorcycle racing records in Utah has fueled director Roger Donaldson's creative energy for years.

Long Way Round (2004): Forget Breaking Bonaduce or The Surreal Life. Ewan McGregor has made a celebrity reality series that's entertaining without having to be called a guilty pleasure. Long Way Round is a documentary detailing the 20,000-mile motorcycle trip he took around the world with best friend Charley Boorman over 115 days. Their trip took them from London through locales such as Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia, and Canada, to name a few, before ending in New York. Armed with a cameraman, McGregor and Boorman encounter separation anxiety from their families; a shifty stranger (later revealed to be Mafia) who leads them through winding dark corridors to a posh hotel room; delays at international borders; hosts who offer them Fear Factor-level animal parts for dinner; injuries, equipment breakdowns, and more. The pair also film their own video diaries, in which they voice concerns and frustrations. The result is an emotional, rich breadth of experiences, from the hardship of logistical setbacks paired with the joy of visiting the children of Chernobyl and encountering hospitable locals who insist on escorting them wherever they go. McGregor and Boorman also make witty emcees, cheerfully upbeat even when they wonder aloud if one of their gun-happy hosts is a psycho murderer. The seven-episode series, originally aired on Bravo, concludes with their emotional ride into the Big Apple and some surprises for the pair courtesy of the show's producers. The two-disc DVD includes some can't miss deleted scenes, including McGregor's story about being confused for Jude Law, and a clip of McGregor attempting Jedi mind tricks on commuters who keep stopping in the road to peer at his broken-down bike ("These aren't the bikes you're looking for."). Long Way Round may have been an arduous once-in-a-lifetime experience, but you can't help but hope McGregor and Boorman suit up for another road trip someday.

Dust to Glory (2004): Don't be surprised if you feel a dry, tickling sensation in the back of your throat after watching the slam-bang racing documentary Dust to Glory. It's probably from the lingering sand and silt spewed from the knobby wheels of an array of machines that skitter from one end of the Baja Peninsula to the other. Using 90 cameras in a variety of formats, director Dana Brown captures the giddy danger of the race with truly visceral force. In 1967, a few California thrill-seekers had the Eureka spirit to take their homemade race cars for some whooping-up in the wide-open land just a few hours away. Since then, the Baja 1000 has turned into a party-fueled happening that's more akin to Burning Man than the Indy 500. It's billed as the world's longest nonstop race, running point-to-point for 1,000 miles through the Mexican desert from Tijuana to La Paz--pretty much the entire length of Baja.

On Any Sunday (1971): Without a doubt the quintessential motorcycle film acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Brown explores this dizzying and intoxicating world of rugged roadriders where cycles hit incredible speeds. Segueing into the grueling excitement of a muddy and murderous motocross race we then move on to the tortuous mayhem of the Mexican 1000 off-track trial race down the BAJA Peninsula. It's an exhilarating experience that puts you in the driver's seat for spectacular action and sensational entertainment.

Easy Rider (1969): Two long-haired bikers from Los Angeles take off on a cross-country trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. On the way they meet several unusual characters. A rancher and his family, a hitchhiker and the hippie commune where he lives, hookers, red-necks, but most noticeably George Hansen played by Jack Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson gained national attention for his role as the "lawyer with the ACLU". Dennis Hopper won "Best New Director" at the 1969 Cannes Film Festival.

Biker Boyz (2003): When it's revved up to maximum rpm's, Biker Boyz qualifies as an adequate knockoff of The Fast and the Furious. Both films were inspired by magazine articles about speed-freak outlaws on the streets of California, only this time the nitrous-enhanced "rice rockets" are of the two-wheeled variety, and Smoke (Laurence Fishburne) is the reigning "King of Cali," leading a subculture that schedules illegal motorcycle races with high stakes and potentially lethal outcomes. Kid (Derek Luke, the promising newcomer from Antwone Fisher) is the latest challenger, facing off against Dogg (Kid Rock) and others before coming to terms with his own familial destiny.

The Wild One (1954): This is the original motorcycle movie, starring Marlon Brando as the brooding leader of a biker gang that invades a small town. The film always looked like one of those synthetic Hollywood ideas of subculture life in the 1950s, which means it looks even more artificial today. But it is an actor's piece more than anything, and toward that end Brando's performance really is an important one in the context of his revolutionary reinvention of film acting during that decade. Directed by Lásló Benedek

The Wild Angels (1966): Peter Fonda/Nancy Sinatra/Bruce Dern. Hell-bent on wreaking havoc, a motorcycle psycho-biker named Heavenly Blues (Fonda) rounds up his rebellious crew and takes off to the desert to recover a stolen chopper. There, a run-in with the cops leaves gang member Loser (Dern) deader than road kill, but it's when his funeral turns into a drunk-fest that this biker movie really shifts into high-gear. This movie is one of the reasons why people think bikers are lawless.

Hells Angels on Wheels (1967): Jack Nicholson plays Poet, a bored gas station attendant who leaves his mundane life in the dust to blast down the open highway with the Hell's Angels. It's non-stop action on a mind-blowing ride at first. But when the naive Poet gets mixed up with the gang leader's pretty girlfriend, his new high-octane lifestyle explodes. Northern California Hell's Angels also round out the cast. The gang leader's girlfriend is played by Sabrina Scharf, future California State Senator.
