Lost my best friend I grew up with and we both grew up with this movie and as a tribute to him I had shirt made with the saying on the back of the shirt along with his picture say rather be dead and cool than alive and uncool he was a cool friend RIP Willie (Bumper) Bobert
People we loved and respected NEVER leave us Darrell, even when they pass !!! Mickey Rourke paid tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn in this movie. Look closely at his left sleeve on his ridin' jacket and sometimes you see a patch "SRV," with the roman numerals MCMXC, the year 1990 when Stevie was killed in that plane crash.
The guy with the pony tail that cant talk. Hes or was my doppleganger. I use to tell my boy " yeah thats me " Hes 44 now. Doesnt go for it anymore but we still love it. Its one of those out of character movies but it worked. Will always love it.
I first saw this movie back in 1991 and I couldn't WAIT to get a motorcycle! I bought a raggedy Honda 750 4k for $300 and rode the shit out of it...finally got my first Harley in 2003, an Ironhead sporty that I built from the ground up. Rode that for 10 years and then bought a Harley Dyna Wide Glide. Similar to Mickey's custom FXR, it's pumped out from front to rear. Funny to think my motorcycle journey started over 25 years ago with this kick-ass movie. Never let anyone hold you back...you can get whatever you want in life if you try hard enough. I know it's not much of a dream, but it's mine and I've had fun the whole way. Always leave time in your life to have fun and let it ride. Jobs and money come and go...but life experiences are worth way more than a paycheck. I'm getting old now, kidneys failing among other health problems...I'm 46 and I prolly won't see 50. If I died tomorrow, I can honestly say I've lived a good life. Not trying to be mushy and shit...but live your life while you can. Tomorrow ain't promised.
Your story sounds similar to mine except my ride started 1979 when I first heard that distant sound of thunder. My first was a beat up old Yamaha 750 , you had to kick the shit out of it to get it started most days. lol I still remember that damn thing. After I graduated in 1982 I joined the U.S. Air Force. I took the Yammer Hammer with me. It wasn't until 1984 that like you I found a 1969 Harley Davidson Sporty and commenced to make it all mine. 2.5 years and much cussing, yelling and learning I had my customized 69. If anyone recalls the factory 69 looked like a sawhorse with a v-twin and two wheels. lets face it it was ugly. When I finished it, got on her to fire her up, it started on the first kick. Now it was the Yamaha's time to die. I hated that damn rice burner with a passion. The death of a 750 is a beautiful thing if done right. I was a refuel specialist stationed at Grand Forks AFB North Dakota. I learned what JP-4 will do to any gasoline motor really fast. And myself and several members of my squadron introduced that 750 to JP-4. It was a match made in hell. lmao. I still have the 69, it was something i just couldn't part with after all the time and money I spent on it. It was a midnight blue in color, Springer front end. driver only seat with p-pad on fender, totally redone engine and tranny, alll chrome exhaust, front end, oil case etc. etc. I just couldn't part with it after I finished it. I spent back then apprx. $10k in customized parts, paint and chrome. I was 24 years old when I took it for its first ride. The last offer I had to sell it was just under 21k. I still said no and that was 5 years ago. I am now 54 years old and live where I can ride pretty much year round.
One day I just decided to ride. Paid the 250 bucks for classes and a week later bought a Harley 883. Got 150 miles on the bike so far and I'm loving it. Good story bro. Haven't seen the movie yet tho
What an exciting combination in that title! "Harley Davidson & The Marlboro Man" alongside Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" really evokes a sense of adventure and freedom. The song itself is an anthem that captures the spirit of the open road and independence, perfectly fitting for a journey on a Harley. It's amazing how music can transport us to different places and times, isn't it? The blend of classic rock and iconic imagery is just thrilling! 🏍🎸🌟
Best movie ever.. friemdship amomg people who had a rough life.. no bullshyte, be honest, no dope and take care of each other. Not all of us had a choice. Besides that, be a good person and help whoever you can. ❤
Congratulations Over 30 years wait to hit 70 mph down a big hill without having good enough brakes to stop at the bottom & get laughed at by every big twin owner you've waited a lifetime to impress.
The coolest into in a movie. Got me wanting a motorcycle back in high school. Just purchased a new Road Glide my third bike in my life. Great movie and one of the greatest rock ballads of all time
Wow, both Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke look so young and handsome in this....love crazy movies like this....even the Baldwin boy was looking good...lol....Bon Jovi...Richie Sambora music lives forever guys. Thanks for the song.
I started riding motorcycles on my return home from the Vietnam war and I was 19 then and I am still riding motorcycles (Harley Davidsons) at 73 years young
Фильм, моей юности. Помню первые впечатления от просмотра, до сих пор, помню эти ощущения. Спасибо большое за прекрасный фильм и волшебную работу актёров. Вы на всегда остались в моём сердце!!!
nach wie vor wundervoller song und ein Film als noch richtig gute Filme gemacht wurden.aus einer Zeit in der man sich mit all dem identifizieren konnte.✌✌✌✌
This was on TV tonight. I saw it on the channel guide and tuned in just for it. Absolute perfection and just such a brilliant scene. It’s not that I love either one of these, but put together… Just amazing.
"Как, говорил мой, старик- отец, прежде чем покинул этот, говённый мир": не когда не бегай за электричками и бабами, всё равно, не догонишь...Сокровенное высказывание Marlboro. Сколько прошло лет??? По сей день помню. Добрый совет старика, посмотрите молодёжь, ля буду, не пожалеете.
This is an underrated film. Don Johnson and Mickey rourke did a great job ! Although in interviews Mickey seems to despise it. The supporting acting is great in it also
This was an ALL American movie, I ride since 35 years, started with a Dyna Wide Glide, Went to a Softail Heritage, then a Road King, now - I ride an Indian Chief Vintage, awesome. I love this movie.
Harley Davidson and Marlboro Man. It's about 25 yrs old, still one of my favorite all time movies. (Usual Suspects, and Captain Ron. Also Ronin. Check em out
During 90-ties I watched this movie many times, I have learned almost every phrase. I think it is one of buddy-buddy movie which includes some taste of old west and modern times. I recommend this movie because of lot humor and action. Of course Salut to Duke the Searcher!🤠
@@manfredkallmeier5364 Richtig!😃 I liked H&D before maybe it was influence of movies, but I found few years ago during auto-show less exponated motocycle, that was "Indian". I like design of these bikes anyway. I was in BJ concert in Mannheim 2011. I sang this song louder I could.
Indaian Nice Bikes-Retro Style, Victory CT 1700V we had here in Lower Bavaria ais Trikes by Rewaco. I love the Red California Cobra V8 trike that Ed Roth and Dick Allen built-Got no Bike Driver licence but I'd love to buy a trike-Gona see what Happens...
