IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098158/ and BTW that 5.0 rating is vastly udnerrated


a movie around GP bikes similar as to how Steve McQueen made Le Mans around the real race , story is basicly ROCKY with Bikes

Unfortunaly no DVD release to this day , only very rare and very expensive out of print VHS

so all this screens are from the only source is the trailer on youtube and memories

4 stars, used a lot by main character at the beginning, suposedly the Producers sponsored real drives for the GP races so they can use footage int he movie

If the pics are from the trailer, how do you know the star rating of each bike? Have you seen it? :wink:

YES, I have seen in it on TV a couple of times , the stupid thing is they don't braodcast it anymore so I could use DVD recorder

basicly the 2 guys build a bike (the red/ white one) to compete in MOTO GP, the rider (played by ALex MAcArthur, dude with long hair) is really quick and catches the eye of the big teams , and then he abandones his friends when is made an offer and goes to the team were Rotar (the blonde villain is driving), there he finds out that he must play second fidle and his team mate is a dirty race, after that he gets depressed , returns to his old friends who build a new bike (the one first in the pictures) and they WIN

as a side note the white/red one gets wrecked in a race and the black one with no 25 is used by the guys

the main character (Alex MacArthur) races in total 4 bikes
- red/white one build by his crew
- black one with no 25 also build by his crew
- then goes to one identical to the Villain one when he is his team mate
- then the first bike i Listed after returns back to his crew


as said "Rocky" plot of small time guys building Bike in their local garage and beating the big boys !!!

and heck if it gets out on DVD you can see it for yourselvs !!!
